Aimbots in Halo Reach. They are here now...
« on: September 28, 2010, 01:35:05 AM »
Thoughts? I don't know a lot about this and or what Bungie can do about it. I'll post a video or search around Youtube. Is this going to be a trend in Reach already or what??

I truly hope not. I have a feeling that bungie will nip this in the butt pretty quickly though.

Hey welcome to the forums! Regarding the modding, I've been reading a bit on MLG forums about this. People talk about MW2 and how that game is ruined online because of hacking. For me, hacking = ruining online gaming. It's bad enough that some people out there have mouse/keyboard on Live, but an aimbot is obviously worse. I hope Bungie actually announces some remedy or that they are on this and will be dealing with it. It could get very ugly if they don't.

I agree with that. It could totally kill the game if they don't do something to stop the hacking. MW2 is horrible to play half the time especially on the PC because of it. And I've noticed that they have hardware to hook keyboard/mouse up to the xbox but that has to be some lag when using it. Thanks for the welcome man.

Unfortunately there is a method of hooking up keyboard/mouse which doesn't lag. It's complicated so that helps. It's something that I stumbled upon, but certainly it's completely unfair. People have evidence to back it up. So, if you do find someone who is really kicking your ass, maybe, just maybe they are using it. That's my excuse when I'm getting my arse royally kicked.

Bungie (or any game developer for that matter) has no control over the development of aimbots and other mods for their game. The problem itself is with the the Xbox 360 console,  and how people have discovered a way to bypass Microsoft's security measures that stop the Xbox 360 from running unsigned code (Microsoft patched this, but many people had JTAGs, or modded Xbox's that can run unsigned code, before the update). Because of this, people who own JTAGs can experiment and manipulate the code for Halo: Reach however they like.

Bungie can ban their account from matchmaking, but it's very hard for them to prove anything unless the guilty party uses the mod/aimbot many times in a row. If they got permanently banned from Halo: Reach matchmaking, the person with the aimbot would most likely just make a new account (they're probably using a one month to begin with). People with JTAGs can't be console banned because they can unban themselves by just using a new KV.

Wow, thanks for the info Ponked. I didn't have any idea about that. What a royal screw up for M$. Heh, it goes to show you. Nothing is immune. Where there is a way, there will be a hack or something like it. Oh well. I have a legit excuse for losing now. ;-)

You'll know if they're using an aimbot because they'll probably be using othe mods along with it, like rapid fire and super jump.  They'll also probably be running around the map like an idiot because most modders aren't good at the games they cheat at.

I have yet to run into any cheaters at all in Reach MM though... Not even people DDoSing, which was a big problem in high level MLG (45-50) on Halo 3.

yeah I have not run into any one cheating yet in Reach. I've seen vids of it but have not experienced it.

I remember in Halo 2 running into modders constantly. It ruined the game.
