New Halo 2 Update Bans Cheaters

[MicrotechXP]

"Banhammer" nails down Halo 2 abusers and hackers; fourth auto-update available now and required for online play.

Master Chiefs have battled Elites, Brutes, and even the parasitic Flood, but none of these enemies have been as deadly as some of the foes encountered in Halo 2's online play. These opponents can seemingly jump over Covenant dropships in a single bound, pass flags through walls, and even become invisible.

These undefeatable foes aren't some new alien species that have invaded the ruckus created by Bungie. These are the work of hackers and modders, gamers who spend time improving their stats with cheats at the expense of others. As with any high-profile title, cheaters will run rampant in an effort to "pwn n00bs" (defeat newbies, for the non-l337 speakers) and generally frustrate those who play fairly.

well i play halo 2 all the time. Before you got moded or cheated on about 1/3 of the time. Now after the update it is about 1/7 of the time. Its not gone, just alot less.

Thank god they have did that. People who cheat really mess up the game and the people who dont. Its like in baseball...... the stereriod users.

well even with this, theres still bugs that can be technically called cheating in the game itself without modding or hacking

like at relic, you can do a rocket jump and fly up to the top of that tall forerunner structure; itd be a great sniper spot
also at gemini you can rocket jump above this teleporter and climb up the map and eventually disappear.. if you keep walking (looks like you're walking in place) you'll fall and land at the very bottom where you can walk towards the ark even though you'll never reach it
dont forget the carneyholes in ascension either; playing oddball is made easy with those glitches
