And a new account... which is a big deal for a guy with 60000 achievement points.

Guess he should have waited for the game to be released. Live and learn.

Guess he shouldnt have cheated - thank you XBOX for making my gaming experience more enjoyable by banning these fools.

I think he was banned for exploiting a bug that let him play the demo.. I wish more companies would take a hardline against people exploiting flaws. Too many games have been ruined by so called "hackers" who can't compete with skilled legit players.

The 9999 AD is obviously a bug. More likely his account was banned indefinetly.

Haha.

I've never been a Halo player, but my brothers talk about cheaters and hackers and how much they ruin previous editions. Hopefully it's not as easy for the guy just to get a new IP or new online account and that he has to spring for a new X-box.

[BlackArcher101]

This guy isn't cheating IN the game, he's cheating to GET the game.

I'm so glad to see this. This will get all the cheaters of Halo to be more cautious for a little bit. I stopped playing Halo 2 because I couldn't take the Standbys and hacks anymore. It ruins the game, and I don't see the fun in it. I'd rather play a big game with a bunch of friends then play with people I don't know.

I read the threads a few days ago and Scar said they banned his console as well (each console has a unique ID), but he had 3 more so he didn't care.

Kinda dumb though, playing a multiplayer version of a game that isn't released.

"Hey, the team is in a meeting and there's a bunch of people on the servers!"

[HOOT]

They will never get rid of cheaters, this is one reason I stopped playing Halo 2 online. The one cheat that got to me the most was the gauranteed head shot, that drove me nuts.

The jury is still out on Halo 3 for me, I don't want to buy it just to find out more people have figured out cheats.

If you don't have the "skill" to play and beat people then why play? Go buy a NES and a Game Genie if you need to cheat to win!

Why does he have 4 consoles? Clearly it isn't so his friends can come over and multi-play, 'cause if you are geeky enough to have 4 consoles, your friends ARE the consoles...

[BlackEleven]

He'll get his account back in time just to see it wiped out by the Y10K bug...

I think you answered your own question; they do it because they know it drives people nuts.

He probobly has 4 consoles and 4 TVs so they can play 4 player without small screens. It's Halo geeks to the next level.

While I'm not a fan of this franchise I can respect microsoft's decision to make examples of such people. Cheaters never prosper little geekdroid!
