Considering that Bungie actually is quelching the flame of cheating, I'm sure Halo 3 won't have cheating. I mean look at Halo 2. Cheating is diminishing, Bungie found a way to beat them. Even though it took them a while... well they had to make Halo 3 and are still perfecting it. But they managed to slow cheaters down.


Your version of Halo 2 must be different to mine. I suppose modding is on the decline but network bridging and stand-by are rampant... and I mean rampant.

I've seen some really foolish comments on this thread.

Servers would stop cheating almost totally. Also, modding isn't likely to be around at the beginning for the simple reason that they'll be no maps stored on the harddrive at launch.

Bungie has to deal with its cheating issue, alongside other equally important issues, if they want their game to fulfill the aspirations they will no doubt have for it. Halo 2, in the higher ranked matchmaking gametypes, is virtually unplayable for the honest gamer.

I sit here utterly dumbfounded when I see people saying they don't encounter much cheating any more. Honestly, it's like they must be inhabiting some alternate Halo universe!!! If I go into Team Slayer I get cheated. It's that simple.

Halo 2 is only fun for me with my UK friends in custom games. I have given up on matchmaking....particularly ranked....forever. If Halo 3 doesn't at least severely improve on these important things....I will play the campaign and then sell it. Not because I still wouldn't love the game, even in custom with friends, but because I will be so disappointed in Bungie.

I'm not putting up with the crap I've put up with on Halo 2 again. It'll either be a good online experience (no matter how cool the game)... or it will not. If it's not.... it's gone. I don't care how anticipated it might be... what does it matter if you can't play the thing fairly.

That said..... I have faith in em :-)

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Bungie will never get a hold of cheating, because they just don't know how. They would have stopped it in this game if they were able to.

not entirly true no company knows everything about hacks. if any knew exactly how to stop all mods hacks or anything of the type the world would be hack free on every system or console. no anti-cheating program can catch all cheaters, hackers, or modders. its impossible to catch all of them bc so many different methods of doing it, and anyone determined to make a hack will find back a door to w/e program bungie would decide to use. i have a coupel friends that have hack in alot of xbox and comp games and no matter wut the anti-cheat program is and no matter how many updates that program gets , there is always a back door

also, ban people that keep the radio on so you can hear it through their headset.


Only if it's Rap music,lol.

I don't really see that as a bannable offense, I'm pretty sure it's not a bannable offense either.
If you get enogh cursing/lewdness, or screaming feedack, you will get your mic privelages revoked.

"Lewdness" and "Screaming" feedback could still be left, seeing as how you are annoying people with your music.

Well that just sucks.

But I doubt that many people even care if they can here the music or not, that is why there is a mute function.

I stop playing my music when the game starts anyway!
