So, you going to try and cheat now?
FTUTA
That's hilarious.
Maybe he was lagged?
maybe he did it to show Bungie it needs to be fixed.
Not a bad idea.
:lol: I noticed that Bungie guy didnt mention if it was going to be fixed. Their solution I guess is to track down and ban thousands of cheaters from first-hand experience I guess.Good luck with that....Quote:

how do you cheat in halo? Action Replay or something?
I guess there is a bunch of glitches in the game .. people being able to "ghost" (be invisible and still make caps) ..
The big problem is that no one from Bungie has publicly stated they are going to fix it ..
all my info is garnered off of message boards. Someone else would know more
hold the standby button on the router, scoot across the map, take the flag return to base, score
thanks... did anyone ask?
Sweet!Quote:

To anyone wondering what they did, it was not a routter thing or stand by it is what is called the dummy glitch.
This is what happens: an elite gets into a warthog and jumps out while hitting mellee, on his screen he is still in the warthog and on everyone elses he is standing in the middle of nowhere swinging wildly. The warthog is brought to the base and his dummy self (who is invisible and unkillable) runs in grabs the flag then stops hitting mellee and instantly warps back to his real body with the flag in hand. The only way to stop this is to kill the dummy body back at their base.
So yeah, that's what happens.
Who figures this shit out?
What kind of douche calls some stupid by saying they have a "remedial mind". Nigga obviously doesn't understand what remedial means...
Yeah, really.Quote:

I've got a great idea... How about your fellow Bungie employees fix the problem, instead of complaining about people who exploit a bug you should have squashed in QA?
The dummy can't actually move. He can only grab the flag. If he moves, he gets transported back to his original position.
Nicely done.
I remember reading from an EGM Bungie interview that it would be very difficult for Bungie to fix the glitches because changing the geometry parameters that make up the Halo stages may have unintended consequences with the rest of the game. That's probably why they haven't stated publically that they'll fix it. They're not sure if they can fix without breaking the game.Quote:

It's really not that difficult a process. Don't fall for their BS.
Nice one. And it's true.Quote:

I highly doubt he was seriously trying to win.
He was probably just being a huge douche.
Which sorta makes the whole thread pointless.
That's what's so hilarious about all of this. I read the same interview, and it's like they outright admit that they have the shittiest, worst optimized, least scalable engine ever created, and then say "well, we couldn't code an engine that can do anything after it is now in your homes, so, you know, lol. Good luck with the cheaters!". Awesome work, Bungie.Quote:

I was very confused. Somebody else suggested I was using a GameShark. I suggested they go fuck themselves and went on to another game.
I agree, but I think some of it is a smoke screen.Quote:

They could have just had an bigger beta, but they decided that in-house was a better idea because it's not Halo fans that fuck around with their controllers for hours on end to figure out a glitch, it's the dude who runs customer service for Microsoft Excell.Quote:

Yes, indeed it is.Quote:

I believe that is Bungie's mentality actually. I'm pretty sure they don't consider any of this "cheating" and don't ban people for it. Most of the problems are inherent in the game engine, like picking up the flag through walls and such. There is no way they could fix these things without an engine overhaul. It’s just apparently their map makers are retarded and didn’t think to make every wall thicker than the range to pick things up...Quote:

I thought they said stuff like taking the flag through walls wasn't that big of a deal and they would allow it? I'm not about to sift through a 115 page thread on another forum to find what I'm looking for, so I could very well be wrong.Quote:

Play it how we shipped it). Bitching about how people are "cheating" by doing stuff using standard hardware and software, in an online game where everyone must run the same version just to play together, is passing the buck.Quote:

I'm pretty sure baby Jesus is a little too preoccupied with that whole eternal damnation thing to worry about cheating in a videogame. Plus he kicks butt at Halo 2 so he feels no worries about cheaters.Quote:

I can answer that easily: They are part of Microsoft.Quote:
