Bungie Punishes 15,000 Cheaters - Now Listen to Their Crying

BattleStrats has taken the liberty of quoting some of the funniest cry babies begging for their precious ranks back. The best part of all of this are the rants and crying from the cheaters on the Bungie forums. Not only is it extremely satisfying to see a developer actually do something about cheaters at their game, but it is very funny to read the sob stories from the losers who were caught with their pants down.

We also have included each cheater's gamertag so feel free to message them and tell them how "awesome" they are!

So sit back and enjoy. Thanks Bungie. You rock!

[DTMBSquid]

OMG friggin hilarious. Cheaters crying FTW

[JLesinski]

I nearly pissed myself reading this one. Nothing tastes better than the tears of a cheater.

[MrMccormo]

Now Bungie needs to start banning all the people using aim-bots and hacks. Otherwise, Reach will become exactly like Halo 2 and Halo 3 turned out.

[ambientFLIER]

I don't remember Halo 3 having much, of any, hacking.

[Motorola]

Its pathetic, they dont respe t the people who made the damn game

[-Alpha]

Bungie is freaking awesome. They are also extremely witty over on Bungie.net.

Love how they reply with such funny comments.

People are raging, yet they've all been proven cheaters. Wait till the banhammer comes :D

[pixelsword]

Cheaters never prosper, or at least in Halo: Reach.

Instead of laughing at them, I'm going to feel sorry for them for wanting to be cheaters in the first place.

[ExplosionSauce]

Lot of people there threatening to return the game and getting Black Ops instead, lol.
Freaking cheaters. Hope they all were deserving of the ban. I would hate to be part of the 15K people and be wrongfully banned.

"i take poops with more entertainment then this game"
"Wtf bungie i want my rank back i done the challenge glitch like 4 times"
- These people are smoking something :P

[gman_moose]

I love how they all say they are taking the game back...Yeah, good luck with that kids....

[Spydiggity]

the people make this threat are the mouth breathers that were gonna pay for this rehashed garbage in the first place. bungie knows this.

i can't wait for black ops to come out either, then halo won't be plagued with noobs that think the only good game type is SWAT.

[AntoineDcoolette]

Is it wrong that it sickens me how they all threaten to return Reach and get Black ops instead? I didn't see a single one of those people mention Medal of Honor T_T. I bet they were all MW2 glitchers!

Take this for example

"well bungie, first off i would like to start by saying, F*** Y**. and second of all, its your own dam fault this happen, maybe if you ironed out all your bugs in the testing stages. this wouldn't have been a problem. So now Modern warfare 2 is going to have another 15000 people playing it. because for dam sure. i'm done with your broken excuse for a game.
This was supposed to be the last good halo. And now you ruined it.
thanks alot D BAGS"

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

Most of these people complaining are kids! They sound so immature. They shouldn't be playing the game in the first place.

Also, the threats are soooo hilarious! I seriously want to see them trade in the game for Black Ops. Which I doubt.

[princejb134]

some of those sound like they were playing legit dou

[ELite_Ghost]

that'd be horibble getting banned for being too good XD

[-Alpha]

Likely all liars. Bungie has the evidence, they wouldn't be so careless. There is one exploit that they are letting people get away with because they concluded that it was technically their oversight. They told the people that though this is pathetic of them, they didn't do anything technically wrong.

Everyone else is a rotten cheater who can make all the empty threats of selling their copy all they want. Some guys (like the one Bungie responded to above) are plain liars.

Note that this is just a mere resetting of rank and banning credit-earning for a day. Wait until they decide to throw in the banhammer, which they are currently working on doing.

[Why o why]

surely they cant all be cheaters....how can anybody be 100% correct with something like this. Like i said before ill get banned...i keep using that exploit were i constantly die without seeing who killed me:(

oh and the 'blam's in the comments are killin me...lmao

[mastiffchild]

Yeah, there'll be some that did nothing wrong. For instance:the guy claiming he'd had his Live account nicked. He might easily prove himself(if he is) innocent by getting the proof from MS. Anyway, in 15,000 there WILL be wrongly doled out bans but it should be minimal given Bungie have nearly all the info available.

I do feel sorry for one mate I have who was playing with his pals at home when he had to go out. One of them offered to help him level up and.. well, you can guess what happened. Maybe he should have better taste in friends! I told him "what don you expect-you're even prepared to by MY mate" but he doesn't see the funny side. Lord knows what his pal had been doing to level him up, mind, but I'm guessing Bungie will have told him what he's supposed to have done like usually happens with these things(IDK as I've never been banned off a game yet), yes?

So, Alpha, mostly liars ,certainly, but unlikely they all are. Still, some funny stuff among the tantrums-I especially like the guy who admits he deserves it-what's with that? Honest cheats(I'm English, there's no word in my language called "cheaters"?

[Imperator]

I hate cheaters. They just ruin the fun. And what the hell is the point of cheating anyways? It just takes out the fun.

[vickers500]

Some people think it's fun to take advantage of an exploit. Some people think it's fun to just piss people off. Some people think that pissing people off is hilarious, and will record put up reaction videos on youtube.

Not saying those reasons are justifiable, but I imagine that's the "point" of cheating in their eyes.

[pixelsword]

That's true vickers, but some people may also think it's fun to see people being rightfully punished for taking advantage of an exploit and pissing people off.

[Spydiggity]

i like water because it splashes. i like to be in water cuz i can splash it

[mastiffchild]

But, diggity, cheats are the kind of people who pee in your water just because they can.

[SeanRL]

They get some misguided sense of accomplishment from winning something even when it requires basically no effort from them. In their eyes they are superior to the players playing fair.

[dredgewalker]

Lol, the languish and cries of thousands of cheaters is like music to my ears. I don't play Halo: Reach but it's nice to see cheaters being punished.

[SonyPS360]

Funny how most of them are banging on about how they're now switching to black ops.

So what, they're gonna go to Black Ops, cheat there as well and get banned again?

Idiots.

[4lc4pon3]

The problem with this statement is this. Bungie cares about the game/product and has always placed the ban hammer when they wanted to.

Now here is the next problem if they do go to Black ops they wont be banned or anything for cheating because Trey/Activ doesnt care at all.

I see hardly any bans in the COD franchise. my little cousin & his friends hosted a tons of lobbies, ripped people off for points and what not for the longest time. i even turned them in a ton of times & no one ever cared.

[visualb]

all cheaters deserve all the hardship they deserve.

what scares me is seeing all these "cheaters" hailing black ops, I have a feeling that will be where they all go, thus, ruining it too =/

[4lc4pon3]

because they know that they wont get banned because there really isnt a company like Bungie who is willing to Ban 15,000 people for cheating.

Bungie doesnt play games with people who will ruin the game. Other Devs just dont care & will let it go

[visualb]

and that worries me =( more devs should do as bungie, but they don't. which SUCKS

Word that poster is a G!!! I mean for cheating hes a bit of an ass but to say something like that...this guys alright in my books...

But ya funny as hell that these guys are all tryna claim they were wrongfully banned but what they don't realize is that Bungie has a record of the challenge things...I mean all you had to do is complete the challenge more than once and its pretty obvious your using the cheat...I mean okay maybe once cause of some very weird coincidence where your internet just randomly disconnected...but like 2 or more times? Come on...

[sgw_dec0y]

It is so funny to read the tears of little kids. This is why I hate games that are so easily hacked (*cough* MW2 *cough*) I could have enjoyed that game but never bought it because of the fact the MP was really glitchy. I have played Halo Reach since release and haven't really run into anything I can say is auto-aiming.

[Lannient]

Idk this is funny and everything but....I honestly doubt all 15000 of those people were cheating..

[darkequitus]

Facts are facts. You do a daily challenge multiple times you cheated. An open and shut case. go to bnet and see all these kids crying innocent. Thenlook at their service record and it is all clear to see.
The funny things is, they keep their commendations so their leveling up is 10 time slower doing legit now. Lol.

[SonyPS360]

Actually, with so many people playing a game, that much isn't surprising.

Plenty of people are dumb enough to believe that glitching "isn't cheating" and will do it.

[RedDragan]

Why is it so hard to believe?

The game has sold well over 2,000,000. There cannot be 15,000 cheaters?

I would say that number sounds perfectly right to be honest.

[bustamove]

You cheat, you get punished.

[saoco]

Good job bungie. f... cheaters! i hope black ops creators and all other multiplayer game creators do the same to hackers and cheaters.

[StitchJones]

Good Work Bungie. Now make a PS3 game please :-)

What? Is Halo not good enough?

[SonyPS360]

He probably doesn't own a 360.

I was never a Halo fan but its good to see cheaters get their just desserts. Look how they all run back to Call of Duty where the can cheat at their hearts content. I found this one especially funny.

"LoL @ Bungie

I am not complaining right now because i find this very funny that you guys did this. Me being the Call of Duty fanboy that i am find this a joke because you did not send out a warning or tell the people that were doing that that it was wrong you just went and banned them. That was like giving a a 2 year old a lolly pop and telling them not to eat it... You guys fail lol"

This guy knew he was cheating but wanted a warning. GawLey FTW you fail.

[LightSamus]

Yet Treyarch promise to ban anyone who messes about with Black Ops too. I look forward to similar messages proclaiming how Black Ops is the worst game ever and that they're going back to Modern Warfare. Silly cheating nubs.

[KillerPwned]

The same guys that are mentioning black ops are probably gonna cheat on that and then do the same thing they did this time. b!tch and moan.....

[CantHaveOpinionsHere]

why even cheat? Point of gaming is to contest your skills against opposition. If you're going to cheat in a game, which is a hobby or entertainment for the vast majority of us, then why not put the controller down and go do something you're actually good at. Or at least cheat with something that'll benefit you in the long term instead of the short-term petty pleasure of pissing me off in multiplayer. Hmmmm I just answered my own question lol

[artsaber]

Because they LACK the skill

[Fatal Blow]

This is all good news

yes2day night i was playing free for all and there was 2 guys playing in teams i was like wtf so i kept killing them and took second place could not take first place due to the other guy protecting him this really needs to stop

[Jerkstore81]

I loved how they said they'll never play Halo again. Good - let's hope they put their time to better use, such as learning how to use the English language correctly to form legible sentences.

[goldenzealot]

this.

[lizard81288]

looks like all the cheaters will move onto Call of Duty Black Ops

[DirtyLary]

I love how these cheats use the "im running to cod:bo" whine to justify their actions. Like they will hurt Bungies feelings. Bungies knows and they know they are Halos bitch and will continue to play. I'm sure some are serious and saying they will run to Cod:bo, probably think they can get away with cheating on that game.

[radphil]

Man these complaints are so much sweeter that they're going away from Halo, and proves to avoid Black Ops on launch cause of these people wanting to ruin good times.

And for those that don't know, the got banned for exploiting MULTIPLE DAILY challenges.

The target locator checkpoint thing is all legit and all fair. People weren't banned for that.

Also I like how on the comments only one person actually manned up for his actions.

If only they did this in APB, that game would still be around. I also lol'd at the end quote.

[Neko_Mega]

Should never cheated then slackers, didn't they every hear the old saying "Cheaters never win"?

I'm happy to hear this, people like this kill games for others. Cheating on the story on the game is something I can understand, but lowering yourself to cheat online is just lame.

[BYE]

"Jonge
I would be mad, but black ops is out soon. So I am not mad.
S*ck my d*ck bungie. "

This is so funny. Call of Duty seems to be the number one exile for cheaters that aren't wanted anywhere else.

One more reason to not bother with this game.

[LOLOLFFSA]

I find these very funny and sad also :D It's just plain sad that people have to cheat in a game just to grow their internet p*nis or whatever. In this case they just made alot of credits mirite? So sad so sad. I've been able to get 100.000 credits in a legit way :D And Im just Warrant officer grade 2.

[PhantomT1412]

Some of them are saying they will migrate to Black Ops. But Black Ops will be a worse ground for cheaters with the new theatre mode, where the developers (or other players) will be constantly watching match replays.

[ultramoot]

LOL....Beware when Black Ops comes out. Seems like most of these 'exiles' are gonna be gathering there.

[BaneWilliams]

Wasn't only 'exploiters' that got banned and credit reset here people.

[Weaksauce1138]

This just proves a cheater can be a liar aswell.

[shysun]

Great job bungie! lol

[midgard229]

u wud figure with the 60 bucks a year u pay that xbox live would be secure from cheaters, buuuuut nope. i think there are more cheaters than on psn....or maybe thats just halo.....tho i dunno, cod has alot of cheaters.

devs need to test their games and make sure people cant cheat. But rushed product is rushed. and people oddly like cheating more than actually playing the game.

odd people support games that were made bad.

atleast bungie did something about it tho, cant say the same for cod. maybe if cod banned all the cheated the population would drop by 3 million since thats all people do. And that my friends is the reason i do offline most of the time with my bros and friends

[DaTruth]

No wonder people like this game so much; the devs actually care about the game!

[yarbie1000]

This is friggin awesome!!

[Dorwrath]

First post I've seen for a long time where fanboys are not bitching at each other, instead they are laughing together at the cheats.

More stories like this please.

[bobrea]

From what I've been reading there are a lot of legitimate users who are getting banned, so some of these are probably legit complaints.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

A lot of legit users with multiple challenge completion... of the same challenge! You do realize you can not complete a challenge more than one time. Do it twice and it may be an accidental disconnect. But to get to Lt. Colnel in a short time it would take tons of replayed challenges. They are not legit users they are cheaters who had a red flag waving with, "I cheated" written on it while standing on bungies door step. They got caught fair and square.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Pathetic little kids. I knew there was an explanation for all those Lt. Colnels I saw. I got my major rank legit and still have it. After all the halo games and bungie hunting cheaters. People should have known not to exploit the game's network connection. They must be call of duty fans. Cheating there is apparently acceptable.

[RacingLightning01]

Might just have to take a pass on that one and just pick up MOH.

"Yes, I cheated. Yes, I deserve the ban. Bungie, I'm sorry. I hope theres no hard feelings."

I saw this one on Bungie's official website-- I give the little fella credit for admitting he was wrong. As long as he's learned his lesson from this ordeal-- then the kid is alright in my book. Kudos to you Sylent Soul-- it takes a lot of courage to admit when you're wrong-- especially when your mistake is out there "for the whole world to see'.

I pretty much stopped playing Modern Warfare 2 because of cheaters, glitches, 10th Prestige Lobbies & the such. As far as I'm concerned-- that game is "dead" to me. I will never play it again.

I'm so happy that Bungie is fighting to keep this game alive. They are taking control of the little shitty bastards that ruin the game for everyone else. That is good.

This should be the norm & not the exception-- I'm looking at you Activision-- you can see for yourself (from the posts already written) that these jokers are planning on spoiling Black Ops for all of us as long as you don't proactively do something about it beforehand.

I think it would be nice to have cheaters online service records tarnished by permanently naming their Halo: Reach "Service Record": CHEATER in bright red letters for all the world to see. That way, everyone will know to stay far from them if need be.

Better yet, how about making it so that CHEATERS can only be matched with other CHEATERS-- that way they can make themselves miserable without having to bother the rest of us with all of the foul things they like to do.

Whatever you do Bungie-- don't go give in & just give these chumps a little "slap on the wrist".

Instead, make an example out of them-- ban them, beat them down like the "bad puppies" they are-- just make it as excruciating difficult to level up & earn credits as humanly possible.

Whenever deciding on what to do with the people that actively look for ways to exploit & ruin your game-- choose the path that requires the most effort for CHEATERS to redeem themselves.

Above all, don't bend to all the whining, crying, bitching & moaning-- instead, revel in it-- because that's the only way you can be certain that you've gotten their attention.

Bravo Bungie-- bravo. You guys are fucking bad-ass!!!

The United States is in for one hell of an uphill battle once these douche bags start running things. Jesus; I want to be shot now.

[PantherDST]

I noticed evey cheater mentioned they were leaving Halo and going to Black Ops. The problem from my non-cheating standpoint is that the CoD series never punishes those who cheat. So like moths to a flame the cheaters are expecting to be able to clitch and boost in Black Ops. If CoD history is correct... Black Ops will be full of them. I just wish they would take action to reset those cheaters as well...

Looks like more humor is on the way too....

From Bungie Forum:
"A more comprehensive pass will be occuring in the coming week as our automated Banhammer mechanisms grow accurate enough to satisfy our high bar for burden of proof. If you are thinking about getting an easy 50k credits by using this exploit, I would strongly advise you to reconsider.

Thank you, and please direct any discussion of these resets to this thread."
