Would I get banned if I used a mouse and keyboard in multiplayer? There is an adapter for that.

Some weren't cheating, they just had a flakey dsl connection .

But $80 for a simple adapter is too much. Not cheating, just an unfair advantage. Then again, my video card costs almost as much as a xbox.
...My mouse and keyboard cost almost as much as a xbox...

How about a 72 hour ban and a reset on the first offense?
Wait, never mind, some of those people would kill someone if they had to be deprived of Reach for 3 days. Halo fanatics scare me.

I suppose even though it only might be a small minority that might have legit reasons they should still examine each case to its own, practical - no, Faithfull to their customers - yes. When one wields the Banhammer, one hold's great power and responsibility lol

Hey, if it's in the game...

Taking advantage of a weak ass architectural design is not cheating. Patch it and move on.

 

[Manos]

F*ck you Activision and IW for selling most than anyone else ( crossplatform game ) your product and not doing jack shit about the sickly increasing way of cheating that sucked all the fun possible out of what we paid to you.

Thank you Bungie. We love you for loving us.

In this instance I'd say "lightly spanking" is perfectly fine, since amassing credits affects gameplay in no way whatsoever. It's simply to unlock armor upgrades and different voices for your character. Treating this like modding a multiplayer match for an advantage or something similar is totally inaccurate.

FIX YOUR PROGRAM before its released and we wont have these problems

 

[utengineer]

So can one draw this comparison:

Online gaming hacks to gain advantages in points

it to

Athletes doping to increase strength, performance, and recovery

???

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

^^^Yes 100% true. They are both sad pathetic people that need artificial means to make up for the lack of skills, dedication, honesty and moral fiber.

No, they were cheating. A bad connection will cause the glitch once maybe twice. These people were doing it tens , if not hundreds of times. Bungie can tell the difference.

i thinks toms needs some antispam for its comments everything new lately has been spammed in the comments at least once.

So what? Seriously. They bought the game if they want to unlock everything quickly let them. Some of us hate unlocks with a passion (along with day one dlc and all the other tricks that gimp a game for new players). In a multiplayer game everyone should have access to the same classes and load-outs. Not everyone can spend two hundred hours playing just to work their way to being evenly equipped with the jobless, emotionally stunted, relationship free, super-gamers.

I came across a couple people last night crying about this, all I could do was laugh. I hate cheaters, or anyone that has to use an exploit to play the game or get items. They are probably the same people that buy the manual on day one so they don't have to figure the game out for themselves. Keep droppin' the hammer Bungie!

...Except all new players ARE on even ground in terms of gameplay. The changes are only aesthetic.

The entire (and only) point of credits in halo reach is to show how much time you've invested playing the game. If you can spend 15 minutes doing one glitch - that doesn't even really involve actual playing - to earn just as many credits as someone who plays for 10 hours, that's wrong.
