LW is a horrible playlist, let alone with all the cheaters running around
Explain to me. How does one 'cheat' in Halo 3?
Depends, there are several ways:
Host booting/Bridging: This is basically where a player uses the IP address of the players and attacks their connection, lagging them out of the game as if they quit. This is actually called DDoS, or distributed denial of service, and is seriously illegal. This can also be used to simply impair the connection of a player to the point where their connection is acting like it's based out of Mexico.
Language Glitch: This isn't a glitch, strictly speaking. Players set the languages of their Xbox to off-the-wall languages that not many people speak, then set their search preference to "prefer my language". Then they search in LW or another FFA playlist and are more likely to encounter each other. They then team up and attempt to tie for 1st, or at least all finish in the EXP.
Hacking is actually extremely rare in Halo 3. In the 750 hours+ that I've put into H3's matchmaking, I've never encountered a single hacker. I know it HAS happened before, though, so I guess you could count that.
