Today I played CoG clan public server on bg, and pulled off some impressive kills. For some reason if I play too long I kind of bounce and warp around. Then the accusations of cheating and hacking comes in. I politely tell them and try to tell them it's just my connection, the immediate results are "stop downloading -blam!-" "stop hacking you -blam!-" blah blah blah.

My response is nothing, then I say "while you type I kill, so shut up."

How do you tell people that you just lag once in a while and you don't cheat or hack? I hate it when no one believes you. Now the TUI clan has a "bad rep" because I "cheat" and "hack."

I hate ignorant people online, and you all know I would never cheat or hack

TUI FTW!

Dumb, ignorant fools FTL!

But seriously, what you have just said, you should follow. The CoG clan members will obviously be smart and nice enough to know that you're just lagging a bit, so they won't ban you, just because some dumb non-CoG's accuse you of "hacking". Just like you said, give those guest losers a clean headshot every time they type with their stubby, greasy fingers. ;)

I agree. Some people are just over zelous about their ego. They can not stand any deviation from the norm. I just ignore them and blast their heads off and continue on scoring.

Let me say this:
You people know nothing of lag. I live in Australia, and, unless I play on an Australian server, have a ping in the mid to high three hundreds. People tell me to stop lagging, stop warping, stop hacking, w/ever. I tell them to deal with it. Besides, I'm not exactly a pro player. I usually come near the middle of the scoresheet. So I gain no advantage from my lag.

Show them my ping. That usually does it.

I used to play halo on dial-up. So yes, I know lag well. I could not stay in a game for long, because I would lag out; guarenteed. Yet out of that lag, I could hold my own. Now I can show off my skill that I have gained from dial-up. What skill may you ask? Well, its something that only people who have lag and suddeny get a fast connection can experiance.

I have a pretty good T1 connection, so I usually don't lag. I find it's pretty easy to tell a person with lag from a hacker. Most hackers aren't content to just lag people out, they also like to team kill and spawn camp, not impossible without hacks but still cheap and they usually combine the tactics to be even cheaper. Die Hackers!

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Ignore the ignorants, move along to a more challenging server.

Don't try so hard.

LOL j/k!

But seriously, the best thing to do is to tell them to press F1, so they see your ping. That should shut them up.
You can always find a different server, too.
