It's coming: Bungie is getting the Halo 3 ban-hammer ready

If you're a cheater or an online trouble-maker in Halo 3, Bungie has it in for you. Last Friday they posted a message-more of a threat, really-saying that they know who you are, and they're not happy.

YEAH !!!

BAN ALL THE GLITCHERS & CHEATERS FOR LIFE !!!!!

RudeSole Devil6048d ago

I think Bungie should worry about fixing the game before this.

ReBurn6048d ago

Doing this will fix the game. On many levels.

Captain Tuttle6048d ago (Edited 6048d ago )

Great point. Have a bubble.

mighty_douche6048d ago

didnt they? i havent heard of anyone cheating but i dont own it so...

ReBurn6048d ago

It's time for fame to become infamy. Bring it on.

Bloodmask6048d ago (Edited 6048d ago )

how they are going to fix this. The main way people cheat is by "bridging". They basicly create a closed network that "poisons" or blocks out all of the other IP's that are faster than theirs except for the Xbox LIVE IP's. On Xbox LIVE Host is determined by whoever has "the fastest" connection.

This way "The Bridger" always gets host. And having "host" is what enables the cheating. Basicly as long as someone has access to Xbox lives IP's this problem will never be resolved. Unless they make some sort of rolling IP where the numbers are changed every so often.

I learned how to bridge a long time ago in Halo 2. Not to cheat, but so I wouldn't have to play against cheaters. It isn't a big secret in Halo 2 that when you get to level 32 everyone started to cheat.

If they find a way to boot people out that are tampering with the network then I applaud Bungie. Halo will be better for everyone.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii124d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies124d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer162d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog162d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned162d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c162d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb161d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72161d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman161d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows161d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72173d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai173d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ173d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil173d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
