So pressing buttons is cheating? Did Oksana say "I press buttons at my level, and if I didn't I would go down"? and when bigshow helped Oksana and said he doesn't play Halo 2, the guy assumed he didn't play Halo 2 anymore because he got banned from matchmaking for BXR and BXB?

I laughed. If pressing buttons is cheating then why do we even play the game?

Uh come on dude, you're only allowed to press certain buttons at certain times. Come on, didnt you read that in the Halo 2 Manual? Oh, it wasnt in there you say? Well, since I cant do it and it is associated in some loose manner with MLG, Im going to say its cheating and furiously argue against it even though I dont have any valid or well thought-out points.

Well im guessing this forum goes to one of the Bungie members? I can already tell you that by what i've heard all they have so far is the E3 trailer, the documentary, and a couple MP maps almost complete.

I was pretty sure that on top of being an asshoIe you were racist against blacks as well...thanks for proving me right.


You really have no idea what you are talking about and you really dont make any sense.

Must I embarrass you further? Or can this end?


The PMs you are sending me insulting MLK are disgusting. You people should be shot.


Wow, making stuff up. Thats cool dude, it totally proves your point. Oh wait, no it doesnt, it actually furthers my case against you.

Can we get of the BXB crap. Save the arguing about cheating for that thread where ever in the back it is. This is about playtesting not cheating.

Back on topic...

I have no problem with the MLG configuring any Bungie game to enhance the competitiveness of it for their tournaments (they're called custom games). However, it wouldn't make sense for Bungie to limit the game options for the sake of competition (which might happen if the tester were strictly MLG).

The pros wouldn't do that. They would test the game for little things like botton combos, bigger than normal hitboxes, superjumping, lag and other (little) stuff that average gamers wouldn't realized to keep the game fun for both crowds so the average gamers would have fun with average gamers and competitive gamers would have fun with other copetitive players. They wouldn't tell Bungie to start of with BR and carbines and other accurate weapons. They could care less about starting off with the PR or PP there just going to make sure that people cant get kills without putting a little effort into it or so that game mechanics work perfectly.

Your petty insults against my people are meaningless to me. I hope someday you'll experience racism like my people do, then maybe you'll understand what it's like to be hated for something as small as the color of your skin. You truly disgust me but may God forgive you.


Please, save some face by closing your internet browser and cooling off for like... 10 years. Then come back and maybe you will have something worthwhile to say.

I think when he said "representing your people" as in; MLG people and you responded by saying "your people" as in; anti-MLG people he thought you called him black.

How you were supposed to know is anyones guess.

The fact that you believe doing button combinations is cheating is one of the more retarded things I've read hear at the Bungie board. I must say that that's saying alot.

I took a 2 months break from Halo and then I picked it back up only to find that everyone I normally play with now has learned BXR, BRX, BXB and many other variations of them. At first I was pissed because I couldn't do these and I was almost always at a disadvantage. So I started practicing these and now I can do them just as well as anyone else and I'm playing alot better than I ever had. I'm sure in your own twisted mind this is cheating, which I can't even fathom on how you came to this horrible conclusion, but the key to playing Halo 2 on live is adapting to the new things people find. For awhile people really didn't understand crouch jumping which was a big thing for awhile, then the pp/br came along that caused an uproar. Before the major update, jump melees were a big thing. Now it's evolved to BXB/BXR and apparently it's causing an uproar also. In months this will become common place and a new easier way of killing someone will be discovered. Just think about it as fads in high school, or as modern technology making small inprovements on things and everyone updating to that.

And anyways, if you want to stand by the "pressing buttons" is cheating, just notice how under Bungie's defintions of cheating, there is nothing mentioning button combinations. If you're not good at this game because you refuse to learn these, then cry me a river, because you're your own worst enemy here. If you started to practice them right now, I doubt anyone would think less of you. You wouldn't get cheating feedback. In fact, I bet you'd get more compliments about how much better you are.

Yeah, I dont think anyone could be that ignorant. However, I have been surprised here before.

Wow...talk about brain being "slow and unable to follow".

He wasn't being racist, he is saying you are a good representation of your people...as in people who suck at Halo but keep arguing about it when they don't understand the game and what makes it good/competitive.

Haha, you assumed he was talking about you being black...yet how the hell would he know that? Good job making yourself look like a bigger idiot, I didn't know it was possible.

What race is he talking about? Something tells me we're not taking about racism in the normal sense of the word.
