Alpha Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 These undefeatable foes aren't some new alien species that have invaded the ruckus created by Bungie. They are hackers and modders, gamers who spend time improving their stats with cheats...at the expense of others. As with any high-profile game, cheaters will run rampant in an effort to "pwn n00bs" (defeat newbies, for the non-l337 speakers) and generally frustrate those who play fairly. Bungie has not taken kindly to these folk. Over the past several weeks, Bungie has threatened gamers who use illegal hacks that they will be banned from playing Halo 2 online. Though several have already been banned, cheating still remains. Today, Bungie made its first major step toward making Halo 2 fair to the common man again. The developer released its fourth update to the game, downloadable through Xbox Live, which is focused on detecting modifications, illegal saved games, and various other hacks. The punishment? A permanent ban from Halo 2 online. The download is required for Xbox Live play, and it fixes other in-game glitches that can be exploited.Read the full article @ http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/07/20/ne...ws&subj=6129522 --------------------------------------- I've only played the first Halo once and I still don't get what's so great about the game or the franchise itself. People really need lives if they are looking for ways to "up their stats". Dumbasses...
Diso Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 They should find a way to ip ban these people. That way they can't just buy a new copy..Even though they may get a new ip. Too much work
Gryph Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I suggest you also read the update at the Bungie site. http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?s...date4&p=4040317
