Halo Reach Cheaters at it Already

The game's only just come out this morning and already dirty cheaters are plaguing the servers of Halo Reach. But it sounds like Bungie's about to get serious on all of you.

Some examples of how they cheat would be nice.

Lacky4972d ago

i don't think that would be a good idea! even more people would cheat if they know how to..

Brewski0074972d ago

I like the phrase "Banhammer Battlestation!"

GWAVE4972d ago

This is why I don't play Halo online.

cyborg69714972d ago

That's a good point. Knowing bungie this won't last long.

-Alpha4972d ago

Does that mean you don't play any game online, considering the fact that people cheat in every online game?

likedamaster4972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

@Delbert

I know what you meant. The article makes it seem like they've found people cheating already, but show no proof or mention of it just a warning by Bungie. But I digress...

*Rubs hands together and grabs popcorn* Banhammer? Oh goody!

plenty a tool4972d ago

lol you dont play halo on-line coz you're a pathetic sony fanboy that doesnt own a 360.

why are you not banned??

WildArmed4972d ago

I dont think the problem is isolated to Halo.

I dont know if you were playing R:FoM in the launch days, oh we had our fair share of hackers/cheaters :)

CoD4 (PS3) has still alot of hackers/cheaters.
and lets not mention MW2.

wizzle524972d ago

Its basically an aimbot and superspeed,
For Noobs - Aimbot - no matter where you fire it will hit an enemy. The video showed guy running really fast and no scoping with a sniper rifle.
I can assure everyone that this has not been released on the major modding websites. (Btw i do not have this hack)
The video was posted on bungie forums so they are aware of it as it was reported therefore you can expect a patch VERY quickly thank god.

Trebius4972d ago

No ethic, they just wanna win and dont understand the concept of playing fair.

Marquis_de_Sade4971d ago

GWAVE - What? Halo 3 is one of the better games with regards to cheating, or rather lack of.

lex-10204971d ago

Guess what. I have an xbox and a Ps3. I don't play Halo at all for one reason. I am so tired of FPS. Your comment about he doesn't play halo so he's a PS3 fanboy without a 360 is ludicrous. Just because someone has a 360 doesn't mean they play Halo. I don't play Halo, Resistance, MW2, I'm not getting black ops, and i very very very rarely play BC2. Shooters are all basically the same thing. I just got bored with them. Am i a fanboy who doesn't have a 360? No i just don't play FPS. I prefer games like Metal Gear Solid, Fallout, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Gears, and Oblivion. 3rd person shooters and western RPGS are my preference. Does that make me a raving PS3 fanboy without a 360. Again no. Stop being a troll. No one likes trolls.

Bloodraid4971d ago

I think you missed the point he was making then, didn't you?

The original comment - "This is why I don't play Halo online."

This implies that the reason he doesn't play Halo is because people cheat on it. And it's pretty well known that pretty much every game with online on it has at least one exploit.

So, your comment didn't need to be made. Your reason for not playing Halo is because you don't care for the FPS genre, which is understandable. However, his reasoning was singling out a single game based on something that nearly all online games share. So yes, he was trolling.

Zeppelin6664971d ago

I find what you said rather naive and a bit ignorant to assume only pre-teens cheat on video games. Every mod website and websites that teach you these hacks and exploits are all started up by people in there twenties or higher. Maybe even people who are eighteen as well. people cheat to get more fun out of the game.(Some people any ways) Its a bit idiotic though to do so on an online game but, there honestly isn't any reason to bitch and complain about it cause its really not gonna stop anyone and only makes you look foolish.(This part not pointed at you Trebius)

plenty a tool4971d ago

gwave is a well known ultra sony fanboy. i would think that he carries a picture of the sony board with him at all times. the guy is a complete loser, and one of the worst trolls on here

pixelsword4971d ago

Cheaters are losers so bereft of success in real life that they have to win at any cost in a game.

Too much of a coward to take such initiative in their actual careers, though.

pustulio4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

You never had an Xbox 360 let alone ever played halo.

IaMs124971d ago

Nah its okay he plays CoD: MW2 online.

BrutallyBlunt4972d ago

What's the point of giving out examples? They know who they are. They know what they are doing is being a goof. Here's an idea, want to spoil other peoples fun online then stick to offline games. It's not just about you.

I too have ZERO tolerance for those who come into games just to annoy others. Isn't that the whole point of playing games, to have fun? So if it is fun to you to bug someone or to make the game not fun for others then there is something wrong with you.

BrutallyBlunt4972d ago

So somebody actually disagreed with that comment? Gotta love this place.

Corepred44972d ago

prob just the d-bag you were talking about.

dredgewalker4971d ago

@Levelhead

Don't know why you got disagrees, a lot of people cheat online these days just to win or annoy. I don't like cheating cause it takes the sense of accomplishment from the game. I like being pawned for being a noob first then learning from my mistakes and getting better with each game. I have had the horror of encountering these people on the pc online and it ruins the game for everyone. People who like to cheat are losers in real life. I hope Bungie and MS put the banhammer on these folks who don't play nice with others.

UNCyrus4972d ago

this article reminds me how much I don't understand mainstream society...

SL1M DADDY4972d ago

Maybe now the xbox version of MW2 won't be so plagued with cheaters...

The_Claw4972d ago

props to bungie, why cant every dev be this serious about cheaters

nnotdead4971d ago

thank you. i was wondering how the players where cheating. this shows what the cheaters are doing without giving a step by step how to guide. i think this what Dilbert was wanting in the article.

Scary694971d ago

Doesn't matter what game you play online there are always cheaters/hackers. I just wish developers were faster at creating a solution rather then wait an eternity to fix the issue or do nothing at all. Look at MW2 many still waiting for issues to be fix still nothing.

Darth_Bane794971d ago

Fix anymore stuff on that game. One of the reasons could be because they would have to pay Microsoft to put a downloadable patch, another could also be how close the release of Black Ops is. But It's all my speculation, I could totally be wrong.

Jaces4971d ago

From what I've played so far I haven't had the joy of experiencing a hacker/cheater. lol!

Love the online, it's such a blast.

avengers19784971d ago

Ummm every multiplayer game has cheaters, and usually they are at it from minute one.
Deal with them, buy voting them off if you can, or go to a different match.

BeaArthur4972d ago

Yeah I hope the banhammer is swift and harsh.

Why o why4972d ago

ive been using the exploit where i can die without actually seeing the enemy:(

SpideyNut4972d ago

Bubble up, Why o why....that was funny. :D

BTW, I happen to know a universal cheat that allows me to do that in ANY online shooter. ;)

darkequitus4972d ago

Yeh, look at my pathetic KIA record. I am target practice for MP games.

solidjun54972d ago

I'm doing that same exploit Why o Why.

Honestly, I'm getting killed easily in that game. Need practice.

Eamon4971d ago

LMAO, you guys are funny.

TheGameFoxJTV4971d ago

This is the opposite of a CoD conversation. You guys are commenting on how often you die...they tell you about their supposed 50/2 K/d ratio. XD

peyote4971d ago

That's true, TheGameFox Halo players have an awesome sense of humour and CoD players don't. *roll eyes*

divideby04972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

not good news... how the heck do they find how to cheat so soon, is it that easy

HarryMonogenis4972d ago

The game did get leaked nearly a month ago via Torrent sites so they've had a month. But no need to threat, Bungie are known for taking care of hackers.

BYE4972d ago

Online cheaters are the scum of the gaming community, I hope Microsoft bans their console permanently.

bjornbear4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

lets face it, like in a relationship, once a cheater always a cheater

future should just digitally tag any cheater's IP / location / some other high tech piece of data to ensure he/she never plays online again

harsh but cheaters are the scum of the gaming industry (along with pirates) and shouldn't be allowed to play online EVER.

GamerSciz4971d ago

TF2 did something opposite of this. The people who didn't cheat got an "in-game" hat to show that they were honest about their online playing. It's called the "Cheaters Lement".

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

skottey4971d ago

No, they need to use a proprietary hardware ID. You don't ban based on IP when most people have a dynamic IP address through their ISP. Your neighbor kid could bet banned one week and the next week you are crying foul with his banned IP address.

I agree, block them for life but do it right.

If buying a used system you will have to call and explain that you bought it used and it will be unbanned. Annoying but simple procedure like calling in a Windows product key to get it activated if you "changed machines"

Eamon4971d ago

uhh... you do know this is just a game and not real life, right?

shinoff2183481d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion480d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde480d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90479d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator480d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183479d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken565d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP565d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken565d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149565d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE565d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90564d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
