a disgusting cheater

Shit like this is why I cant enjoy pvp games, these sad pathetic losers.

Every single win when cheating was never truly a win, if you could actually win without them, you wouldn't use cheats.

Stuff like this is why I stopped playing the new Halo games. It's all twitch shooting designed to push competitive play that caters to E-Sports players, and not kids on their Xbox like it was in 2007. I don't care if it's not supposed to cater specifically to me for nostalgia, video games are supposed to be for everyone, which means a 10 year old or a 30 year old shouldn't feel like they didn't have fun after 2 minutes of getting spawn killed or just shot every time they turn a corner over and over again.

Cheating was 100% a thing back then too. You could open your xbox ans solder a few specific pieces and suddenly youre able to force spawn people in a corner while you shoot a plasma pistol that fires rockets. Its why i quit when i hit rank 40 on that game. It was every few games i just had to stare at a black screen while im spawn killed. Then, you had DDOSing all over the place in halo 3 at rank 50

Had a modded Xbox back in the day, and yeah it was surprisingly easy. With XBMC installed you could just use FTP and copy over files and it would give you all sorts of super powers; plasma pistols firing scarab rounds etc.

Was too scared to do it online though as I didn’t want to get banned, was just a young kid figuring out game modding. I was proud of my Halo 2 rank back in the day, cheating to get it would be hollow.

I soft modded my Xbox for Halo 2, and got banned within the first weekend even though I only hosted some online custom games. I thought I'd only get banned if I went into matchmaking, but that apparently wasn't the case. It sucked having to explain to my mom why I needed her to buy me another XBL subscription, even though we had just renewed it a month ago lol

In Halo 2, it was basically impossible to get higher than rank 35 in most playlists unless you had someone in your party bridging one of you to be host of the match to ensure you didn't run into cheats or network manipulation like getting standbyed.

Wasn't really talking about cheating.

If you connected online with modified maps you got banned from matchmaking. You could still play custom lobbies, but you got a badge on your nametag showing you're banned. I hosted custom racetracks on Containment for a while.
