Kind of like that NBA player who got called out cheeting. He had his friends join his doubles social games and then quit. He's lvl 50 or something and has 0 kills in his record. lol

10/11/2007 8:14:54 PM

only jesus could have lvl 50 with zero kills

10/11/2007 8:25:03 PM

look him up on Bungie.net can't remember the username though...shouldn't be hard to track down.

10/11/2007 8:27:08 PM

golovko are you talking to me about cheating?

10/11/2007 8:30:41 PM

i saw your stats, i think your skill lvl is legit

10/11/2007 8:31:40 PM

er no? unless you play in the NBA.

10/11/2007 8:32:38 PM

when you you said "kind of like that nba player" i was assuming that meant that there was someone cheating like the nba player (gilbert arenas), not another nba player...

10/11/2007 8:33:56 PM

cheezeits you want to play right now

10/11/2007 8:40:30 PM

love this

10/11/2007 8:56:20 PM

noone really knows how to get it

10/11/2007 9:40:20 PM

10/11/2007 9:53:23 PM

^ they can put flaming on anything...that is part of the chest peice that makes whatever helmet they put on flaming...the helmet you posted is hyabussa...the one in the picture in my gallery on bungie.net isn't hyabussa (and yet it still flames)

...it is a different type of helmet called "recon" There is a +500 pg. thread (on bungie.net) on people trying to get this armor...only a few people have it and aren't telling how to get it...they aren't affiliated with bungie either...

10/11/2007 10:49:12 PM

i have it

[Edited on October 12, 2007 at 1:24 AM. Reason : no big deal]

10/12/2007 1:03:28 AM

my bad, that's all that showed up when i googled it

I know that's the hyabussa helmet, because I have that. I just figured the "flaming" one was just an on fire version of hyabussa.

I wonder if it's another crazy process to get it like it was to get the final skull.

plus, the problem is that once it leaks, then 80% of live will have it and make it pointless, just like everything else, lol

"Don't Call me a "Cheater" Something like 500 websites are calling me a cheater, and they don’t know what cheating is. Let’s break down the word “cheating” in video games. Then I’m going to break down glitches and then just great fans. Cheating: In Halo 2 what cheating was, it was called “modding.” That means you do a modification to your XBox, you create your own Halo 2, you get online and then you just destroy everybody so you can get your rank up. But you didn’t really get your rank up because Bungie kicks you off, so you got your friends’ ranks up. Anybody who got in a party with the “modder” had their ranks up because the “modder” is going to win every game. Or, you can do what everybody else has been doing to cheat: “stand-bying.” What “stand-bying” is involves one of these little computer guys is sitting there slowing down everybody else’s modems and putting you to blue screen or black screen (when you go to blue screen or black screen you can’t see anything that’s happening in the game and you think there’s a delay in the game) and in the mean time they’re going around killing you. Or, they’ll just “lag” you out of a game. Somehow they just intercept your connection and “lag” you out. That’s cheating. For basketball video games, cheating is when somebody goes to a bookstore and buys a book on cheat codes and they put the little cheat codes in and all of the sudden they can steal every pass and make every shot and do all that stuff. For football video games, I don’t know what cheating is because I don’t play them. Glitches: There are glitches in Halo. You can super bounce and you can double shot. In basketball video games, back in 2005 there was some glitch where you could put a full-court press on and you set right in front of the guy who was taking the ball out of bounds and every time he tried to make the pass, it got stolen. The team inbounding the ball couldn’t even get past half court. It’s called a glitch. As for a glitch in football video games, I don’t know because I don’t play. The glitch in Halo 3 isn’t a real glitch like in the basketball game, it’s a glitch in the system. Good fans: There’s this thing called experience points. You get experience points for winning games. Before anybody knew about winning social games, they played ranked games. You play ranked games to get your medals up. Then one day I came across a guy who had an eagle by his Halo profile and he only had 50 ranked games. I was like, “Wait I minute, I have 178 ranked games, I don’t have an eagle!” But this guy had 550 social games won, so I’m like, “What the hell is a social game?” So I go to him, “I’ll give you a jersey if you tell me what you’re doing.” He said “OK” and he explained it to me. He said, “You play social games and you get the points too.” So I said, “Social games are matched?” And he said, “No, social games are not matched.” “So you can win a social game, which is not ranked, and get the points still?” “Yeah. What I do is just play two-on-two with my friends and they just lose to me and it gets my experience points up.” “That’s it?” “Yeah.” “Allllllllllllll right!” So I play Halo with a whole bunch of kids online and my one friend said that if I really wanted the eagle that he would lose all the games to me, because he didn’t really care. He said, “I don’t care about experience points because at the end of the day, I’m still good.” So how is that cheating? I still don’t understand it. So for all the Halo people who don’t understand what I’m talking about, this is just like if you were playing Madden online and you find a kid you can beat down on and you keep sending him challenges so you can get wins. It’s the same thing. Or in basketball games, if you’re playing somebody online and beat him by 30 points and he says, “Rematch?” and you say, “OK!” you already know you can beat him, so you play him again just so you can get your points up and your rank up. That’s all that is. So let me explain this eagle thing I wanted. It’s an honor. It’s a little patch that goes onto a shirt. It has nothing to do with your skill level. Whatever your skill level is – 32 or 50 or five – that’s what you are. Your experience points are just about the games you won. The guy who taught me the trick played only like 50 ranked games and 550 social games. I have a level 42 for ranked games. I have to play ranked games against ranked people to get better. Nobody is going to help me win there, because it’s a ranked game and nobody wants to lose a ranked game. But a social game doesn’t affect your rank. So when you have a major, a double major or a triple major or a burger dot (or whatever they call that eagle thing), all it is is for show. So when I go into a match and my opponent sees that eagle, they’ll be like, “Dang, you play a lot.” That’s all that means. They’re not going to say, “Dang, you’re good!” They’re going to say, “Dang, you play a lot.” At the end of the day they look at your rank to see how good you are. Your major is just for show. So if you have an eagle and only have won like 10 ranked games, they’re going to be like, “Man, you’re garbage.” They’re calling me a cheater for somebody giving me wins all day but they should be calling him the cheater for disgracing the integrity of the game. I didn’t make him do it, I didn’t ask for it. There’s been thousands of kids who have lost to me. Most of the time it was because of my talent, the other ones were because I said I’d give them a jersey! Here’s another example. If you beat Halo you can collect these skulls. And if you get all 13 skulls you get a special helmet and outfit for your guy. So for the first couple days, everybody was beating the game but nobody was getting the special helmet because they couldn’t find the 13th skull. One kid cracked it. Only one person cracked it. That one person told somebody else, who told somebody else, who told somebody else and then what happened was the one person who knew how to get the skull called up a group of friends, invited them to join his party and told them that they can play with him and that he’d go through all the boards and find all the skulls and do all the work and since they’ll all be joining in with him, they’ll get the achievement points too. So he went through all the boards and it only took him like five or six hours because he already knew how to do it, and everybody in his party got the special helmet and didn’t do anything for it. If that’s not cheating, then what my fan did for me shouldn’t be cheating either. We’re not cheating anybody. We’re not slowing down somebody else’s modem or doing something else to beat them. This was just my fan saying, “Hey, I want you to have the eagle. I’ll give you the eagle by losing games to you.” And come on people, if I found out about it and did it, there has to be other people out there doing it too. I can’t help it if Agent Arenas is a popular guy online and gets offers like that."

" Come on, there are people out there that have double shot modded controllers, they have modded Xboxes, they have this new thing (and I’m not even sure how you do it) where you put a rubber band around your controller handles so it will go only right and if it goes right the whole time something happens where the game won’t cut off and you keep winning or something like that. Who is finding out about this stuff? Who is sitting there putting rubber bands on their controllers? At least I’m there playing the game. I play Halo some days for 14 hours. If I play that much, obviously I know how to play. A guy online told me how he got his experience points up and I said, “OK, I want that too.” I had already won 216 games legitimately when I heard about this glitch. It’s not like I’m not playing all the time. I mean, I’ve sponsored Final Boss for the last couple years and they’re the best team in Halo. I’m too proud to jump in a game with them to help me get my rank up. If I really wanted to win that bad, all I would have to do is jump in a game with Final Boss when they go up against all of the top kids in the game and just sit there, eat my cereal and watch as they win every game and get my rank up. How hard is that? That’s not hard. But I didn’t do it. This is like in Mario Brothers where if you jumped on a shell and hit it against the stairs and as long as you time it right, you keep getting the 1 UP and have infinity lives. Same thing with Contra. You do the up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right and now you have the infinity ammo and infinity lives. That’s cheating. But if I’m playing Streetfighter, and he lets me win, why is that considered cheating? You should be mad at that kid for giving me the victory. Don’t be mad at me for accepting the victory. What should I be like, “I know you lost, but I’m not going to take this win, sorry.” Last year when I played NBA LIVE online and was 117-15. Sure, 80 of the wins were against my friend, but hey, he’s easy. It wasn’t about skills, it was for show. When somebody wanted to play me, they would see my 117-15 record and automatically think I was good (which I was), but it was the point that it intimidated them. The same thing with the eagle thing in Halo 3. If you see that eagle on your screen when you’re going to play me, you’re automatically going to think I’m good. All that happened was that I went from a single major to a double major because he said he’d lose 100 games to me. Know what was funny, I got all my Halo friends together and we challenged all the kids that were telling me I was sorry, and that I suck and that I’m a cheater and we played a game against them. My team was called the “Bad Guys” because apparently I’m the bad guy for accepting wins from somebody. So we played my haters last night and they got destroyed. Oh man, they got destroyed. Half the kids, they’re not even mad. At first I got so many messages that were angry. One kid was like, “You’re a disgrace to Halo.” He said, “People like you make it hard for people like us to get better because we sit here for six hours a day playing this to get better.” I was like, “That sounds fun. I don’t mean to be the bad guy here, but, I play 14 hours a day. Regularly. I know the rules and what cheating is. What I’m doing is not cheating.” At the end of the day I’m still ranked in the top 30 in the world, even without the experience. Go check the leaderboard. That’s all my skill. The leaderboard doesn’t have anything to do with experience points, it just has to do with experience. Microsoft must have sold millions of copies of Halo and I’m still ranked No. 30 in the world. My swag is phenomenal right now, remember that. Like Kanye said, “You can’t tell tell me nothing, riiighhht.” To my favorite haters -- Biggs V2 amd Hellhogace -- I’m ranked even without the so-called “cheating.” "

I wonder how many friend requests Arena has had in the past few days now that EVERYONE knows his GT. I do love when my friends saw my captain after a week and were like damn you must be good, and I'd say well I am good, but mostly I'm just a loser.

this is shameless self-promotion

he makes is xbox live name known to the public then pads his exp points...

quite clever

im still confused though on his whole cheating thing. the exp he is gaining through "cheating" does NOT give him the eagle, stars, etc, whatever he wants. it is the level + exp that combine make the higher ranks. the only thing his exp would get him is grade 3 at any rank, unless he is level 50 already, which one cant cheat to get, then it does not matter.

and yey for commander, now to just get more exp to match my skill 45

10/13/2007 2:53:43 AM

Gilbert Arenas is so awesome.

10/13/2007 1:29:36 PM

that huge block of words is full of win in my opinion

^^he would still have the skill level needed for the officer rank, he just wants something shiny by his name

and you have enough exp for commander crazy

I am skill level 21 with 70 some points at the current time.

i have a few questions (if it makes me a tard, just flame me after you anser )

If you are doing 2+ ppl on 1 360 and you want to play on line, does everyone need a gold account or is there a away to play as guest (like in halo 2). and if so, how the bloody hell do i set it up. Thanks.

10/16/2007 12:43:45 PM

there is a guest thing like halo 2. to get guests, when you're at that screen when the other players sign in (the screen is split up with controllers and all) you have to select the profile 'cain - guest' or w/e

there are no individual profiles like halo 2 for matchmaking so guests will be entirely default

10/16/2007 12:48:10 PM

anyone have that Halo 3 Service Record on facebook? I have one but its not updating, still showing my old Service Tag and rank of Sergeant rather than Gunnery Sergeant.

On LEGENDARY difficulty, how do you kill the brutes with the green rocket-launcher type weapons?

Grenades bounce off them... and even if you get the grenades directly beneath them it takes a half-dozen or so to kill them. They are apparently immune to bullets. I unloaded over 2000 bullets into one yesterday and it didn't even destroy his armor. The only successful strategy I could come up with is to distract him with a grenade and melee him from behind, as this only takes 4 or 5 hits to kill him. Problem with that is he's usually out in the open and someone else kills you while you're taking him out.

10/16/2007 1:23:05 PM

on legendary, they are immue to human weapons while their armor is still intact

you have to use a plasma gun to take down the armor, then you can use battle rifle/assult rifle/etc
