Some people on my team just cheated.

[StudioAlex]

In a recent big team, I was playing with some friends and clanmates when two guys, niether could I claim as a friend or clanmate, cheated at a CTF zanzibar match. We were outnumbered, but the situation was certainly not hopeless and it was only the opening round. At first I was confounded, "How did we just score?" After a few moments into the next round it became obvious as the two began congratulating each other.

To my surpise, my teammates started complimenting them and asking how they did it. After a minute or two, perhaps after hearing the first on their team call me a cheater, I got pissed off and starting cussing at my whole team.

They tried to explain to me that all the guys with top rankings, like in the 30's,did it.

Which I said fine, then let them play and cheat against one another.

Then another said, "But we were outnumbered, that wasn't fair."

As if he would think it would have been okay for the other team to cheat were they in our position.

Finally, one guy said, "Everyone who gets ahead in life does it by cheating."

While I felt the urge to call him a democrat I was mostly aghast that he would use a real world analogy. I replied, "It's just ****ing Halo." My meaning being, a videogame is not worth my integrity and honor and honjest pride.

Obviously my meaning was far above their unscrupulous minds as their reply was "Yeah, what does it matter. It's a video game."

So I resigned, just warning them to never do anything like that under the banner of the lawless, and sat and stewed.

Hearing the other team call me a cheater was gross and ugly. I had no defense because I was guilty by mere association. I wasn't worried that they'd leave feedback, because I imagine it takes lots of feedback before any steps are taken.

My teammates's cheating stole more than the victory due our opponents, it stole a part of me.

Cheating is pathetic, it completely ruins a game. Shame you ended up on a team of cheaters, hopefully Bungie/Microsoft cracks down on these losers.

yeah im starting to experience it too as I have hit 13 in BTB...

had my team use standy a couple times in the last 2 days.. never used against me yet though.. when it does, I'll likely flip out

i have the same attitude, if someone on my team uses it, i feel bad but i dont complain.. but if its done on me.. i get pissed... kinda like when someone kills you with a few shots... and your like WTF?!?!? and you kill people like that all the time

LOL so true.

Well at least you won the game.

It sucks, but it happens. The cheating is getting pretty out of hand and needs to be dealt with. For now all you can do is report it and hope that something happens eventually.

They had this one the Bungie site today. "Stat Viewer is also useful for tracking the unfortunate incidents of modem-suspend cheating. The viewer shows impossible melee attacks, flag captures and assault moves—and, sad as it is, we've used those to ban the Xbox Live accounts of cheaters and are using the info to investigate ways of reducing or eliminating that exploit."

[mattgame]

Yeah I experienced that last night. It doesn't really matter that much because it is just a video game. But it does take the fun out of it.

[Whisper]

bah.. was used against me this morning after i played 2 amazing games jumping to level 14.. now im back to level 13 cause of a cheater.. we would have had a tie but he used it in the last round.. then of course denyed it.. I was the only one in the flag room.. I was STARING at the flag.. then it dissapears and its over by the bridge

yet he still denied it

[Soundscape]

that's what i was thinking, banana. a little mellow dramatic perhaps?

[ramprider0]

Could someone tell me if the other team cheated in this game we played my clan is the Michigan Mafia and my friend was watching the flag and it just disappeared and then like 3-5 secs later they scored? Just wondering before I report it to Bungie.

I don't expect an atheist to understand moral honesty.

how lame
why are you dragging this crap into the halo 2 forums?
...like a person has to believe in a god to not lie, have morals, or even be an all around good person.
what a joker!

[SPARTAN VI]

Werd Soundscape.


Anyhow, what's that sucking sound? Is tha... is that Halo 2?

[No Fear 23]

people who said they hate halo 2 bc of cheating and glitching are just making an excuse bc they suck.

[Soundscape]

i don't know about that ^^

[P-Rock]

I was on a team where a guy kept telling us to turn off our modems so we could win. Of course, my teamates refused and he got mad, calling us a bunch of pu$$ies. Whatever. Just don't let stupid video gaming stuff get to you man.

Save lines like "My teammates's cheating stole more than the victory due our opponents, it stole a part of me" for more important occurances. Its not worth it to fret about video games.

[CharlieHustle]

Not really, it happened to me when i first bought the game, i didnt know what was goin on, so i just played through it. I hate cheaters, and wish not to play with nor against them. True enough its a video game, but we, as gamers use this to either kill time, or releive stress. But there is nothing satisfying when playin with or against a cheater. And to think about it, its a waste of time, no one wants to waste their time when the outcome is inevitable. If i lose a match, and hard fought match, i dont complain, especially when i knew i had a chance to win. When we all win a match, we all are satisfied because we felt we earned it, right????
