Played a few games tonight - so much cheating going on. New cheats are banshee bomb disabled, immunity to swords, single snipe with mauler, and immobile bots.
Got stuck playing against 3 cheaters in one game. 50-7. A player on our team went 0-14. Cheating team had a guy 27-2.
Yup, noticed the sword thing yesterday, trying to find which match it was. 100% I swiped the guy with the sword yet no damage to him & I got killed :-/
Desync desync desync…
This is just a side effect of really bad netcode. It makes people think there are cheaters in every game because from the player’s perspective it looks like they are getting killed with one shot by a weapon that can’t and it looks like enemies aren’t taking damage.
The netcode in this game is so horrible that some games are impossible to play. Yesterday I was playing with a friend. At one point, on my screen I had run around a corner and dropped to a lower level and then got shot through the wall and floor and died. He said that he was watching me on his screen and it showed me just running into the wall on the upper level while I was getting shot and killed. On his screen my dead body was on the upper level. On my screen it was on the lower level and bullets had traveled through walls.
This is just an example of what the horrible netcode in this game does. It is ridiculous that this has continued with no improvement and that 343’s only response was to blame the players and force people play on distant servers.
The netcode is worse than OG Halo 3. And I thought it couldn’t be. I was wrong.
Cheats, hacks, glitches or exploits?
There’s a reason we have different terms for these ‘happenings’, rounding them up under the same umbrella leads to misinformation, which leads to misunderstanding.
Not that these specific occurrences get officially addressed directly of course which certainly also doesn’t help.
It’s like the whole netcode needs to be reset and or recreated.
you see… this can either be desync on the users end because nothing is 343’s fault. they have perfect 10/10 servers
oor… we waited six years for an dumpsterfire. that everyone is too blinded to see
let’s just wait 10 years for this game to actually have an anti-cheat and somehow past perfection servers
I just played a game and I could not get a kill, zero hit detection and filled with lag, lob every grenade, and no damage made the game unplayable and just maddening. Took 5 min just to start the game, imagine people buying Boosts, and spending half the boost time loading the matches.
The sword hack I have come across and it’s definitely a cheat, hit someone 3 times with the sword and nothing, and it happens over and over, but there are times you just can’t be sure, can I not kill that player because he is cheating, or is it because 343 is a crappy video game developer? Is it impossible to melee that one player because they cheating or is it because 343 is a crappy video game developer? Also factoring in the fact that sometimes I’m just crap.
More than ever now when clicking on the multiplayer tab I get " multiplayer is currently unavailable, try again later", I am very close to the edge of not trying again later. This game is so glitchy, and to think that there were hundreds of millions of dollars just being thrown around to develop it, I have good skills, give me a hundred million I will at least make the UI amazing, and for the same fee, I will throw in friendly fire and collision … since Ya like to throw money around.
You would think with all the technical know-how, Microsoft would not allow this game to be in such a state, that they would step in and steer the game right. The Halo game and Xbox are a big part of the Microsoft brand and I do believe that the failure to rectify what looks like and is a string of 343 game blunders, will continue to hurt the brand.
I get your point, but I am not 100% sure which it is so that’s why I throw them under the same umbrella. Maybe someone in the know can create a list for each?
