What happened about it?

ok ive never had the instant score on ctf or invisible snipers(could they just be good at hiding).But bomb camping isnt even a glitch its just a good tactic and it makes the game last longer which is always good even if your defending

Bungie ARE doing something - they are banning people + working on some fix.

But the difference is, Ubi actually listened to complaints and did something about it.

Doesn't sound too bad.

SC:PT was much worse.

A Matchmaking game, however, isn't like that - players are locked in, unless they choose to quit/betray someone and then get booted. That's where the problem lies, although I haven't encountered it much recently - perhaps 2 games out of about 80.

I admit they are annoying.

But, 9/10, they don't happen.

Bungie are apparantly trying to fix it anyway bla bla bla

Seriously, played it for ages last night, no cheating whatsoever.

Wasn't PT more infuriating? 'I know, I'll just get inside the spawn and double jump!' Yet that was still quality.

The worst thing in Halo 2 is the fact you can hear the mindboggling idiocy that just pains any reasonably intelligent person to hear.

That's where you quit and find another game.

Not exactly the end of the world. And if you're hosting then you kick the invisible sniper etc.

Sounds like CS, SC:PT and RS3: All you have to do is find another game.

Cycloon you can't say that glitches don't affect you. Remember the countless times we were playing CTF and they instantly scored? Or maybe bomb campers? Invisible snipers anyone? It's pathetic.

You can't honestly tell me that the glitches don't affect your judgement/opinion of the game...?

Yes, proxy voice is very irritating as it brings out the worst (or perhaps just their true selves?) in the Americans - well, not just the Americans, many other people too.

But the glitches are where the game really gets assraped. It wouldn't be so bad, but Bungie haven't even bothered to fix it.

Standby and Reset glitches are the two that utterly destroy it.
