[Halo 2] Exploits

[water10]

I have very sour experiences with exploits on the mmorpg world. It's amazing how every single bit of the game gets explored and if there's a flaw, people will find out!

It's gray area really, since one can argue that everybody has access to said exploits, making it fair game. But as, Eclipse has said, it's not the way the game was intended to be played.

I think the real bad exploits are the ones that force you to use otherwise you can't compete. Those unbalance the game and hurt the experience!

I have faith on Bungie. They should patch exploits that are abused and hurt the game.


And I know I'm going OT here, but even though it's not an exploit, mouse/kb should not be allowed on consoles ...

I have no problem finding and cateloging such exploits. It's my belief that if they become abusive, Bungie will figure out a way to patch them.

That being said, I echo Eclipse's sentiments about playing with/without these exploits. I'd rather it be a fair game the way it was meant to be played, than have to worry about people using these things in a real match. Sure, I had hella fun wandering around the top of headlong, and I'd love to see some of the other levels. But in an actual game.. I'd rather we win by being better, than using cheesy tactics.

Preach it, fellow beekeepers.

while not as eloquent as others, I'd like to add my support for keeping exploits out of competitive multiplayer games. A bit too much like cheating for my tastes. Finding them and playing around is fine and dandy, but just think how much it'd piss you off if an opposing team was using these exploits against us.

I too came from the MMORPG game world Waters. The problem with exploits in those games is the people use them to become the highest level with all the best stats in a short period of time, then they quit. It's great that they don't play very long, but in the process of their "quest for superiority" they make an environment where the decent people in the game don't want to compete and end up leaving. Ultimately you end up with a bunch of idiots running around after that with just a few decent people still in game.

[OT] Nice Avatar Waters...If I am correct that is the Judge from Pink Floyd's movie "The Wall" right?(can't be 100% without the whole picture)

[water10]

Thanks. And yes, you're correct. I can see from your sig and location that you're also a floyd fan.

Well, now you guys know why Bungie controls the ranked gametypes.

No tanks or Spectres on Coagulation, no Swords to start with (unless that's the only weapon, in which case you can't Rocket Lunge anyway).

They planned things like this to show up, and that's why they make the playlists.

Debating whether or not to use them or not is a valid topic, however, I believe they should be studied and counter strategies developed for if/when they are used against us, know your enemy and know the weak points in their plan.

If a team gives you the time to exploit all these map glitches they deserve to get their asses kicked. Why the hell would anyone let you take a wraith line up with a teammate ., take a few tries to get the super jump. then let you sword-lunge half your team to the crane?
