Cheaters and Rage Quitters BEWARE! Bungie is on the loose...


Hey everyone. J.P. here for GameXCape, giving you the news that gamers want to know. As most people know, Halo Reach is coming out pretty soon. Yes. I am excited just like everyone that has ever been a fan of the Halo series. Soon gamers like me, will finally have a new game to play. Though most people are counting down the minutes until it's release on September 14th, cheaters and people that leave mid-game often or how Bungie calls them "rage quitters" might not enjoy the game as much as others.

Nobody likes to play with cheaters and everyone hates it when teammates leave during a game, leaving you short handed. Well, Bungie doesn't like them either. Bungie's Community Director, Brian Jarrard, talks about the steps that Bungie is taking to eliminate these types of players. “We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalised,” he continued, “We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can’t make everyone else keep having a bad time.”

What about the cheaters? No worries about them now. "Unfortunately, there’s just a lot of really smart people out there with a lot of spare time who keep finding new ways to break things that weren’t supposedly able to be broken." (I really hate those kind of people. People mainly cheat because they can't play the game at all and need to cheat to be as good as the rest of us.) For those people that are still going to try and break Halo Reach, Bungie has something to say to you; "We have all sorts of different severities from auto-detecting people on certain infractions and issuing the appropriate punishment, to having the Live team themselves basically make someone unable to connect to Live period." said Jarrard, "You know, we won’t hesitate to ban people,"

Finally! A game company is taking the initiative to make gaming fair for everyone. If only some other companies did the same as Bungie. *Cough Activision Cough Cough.* Some people worry about people getting banned if they leave the game a couple of times or lose connection or whatever. Well as previously stated above, only habitual game quitters will get in trouble. It will be ok if you leave a game a few times. So no worries unless you make it a habit... I am just glad I won't have to worry about people cheating now when I play Reach. I am sure a lot of other people are glad as well. Well, that is all I have for now. Let me know how you feel and until next time, keep on gaming.
