"Has all of these 15k people been reset already all at once or is it going one by one? "
haha.

This was a great move. I looked at the forum over there, I saw one whiners about how it took him two weeks to get this Lt. Colonel rank.
This makes me think I have played with a few of these cheaters. My copy of the game got delivered to me not long after release, and my rank progression was pretty on par with many people after about a week and a half, and everybody I played was within a rank or so of each other. But then I saw people that had Major grade 1 ranks and so on higher.
I knew something was up, because if they had that high a rank already with how slow Reaches rank up system can be, even if you are good, those people would have had to pretty much played non-stop for the whole week and a half to get those high ranks.

I'm saying it was right that they cheated. But it was a glitch in the system that allowed them to do it.Uber Waddles said:
Since it was Bungie program error that helped them do it. I think it appropriate that the people that did it get their stats, credits, and armor erased, and the part time credit ban.
But banned permanently, I would think that would be too harsh. Now if they continue to try and find ways to exploit the system yes. Maybe a three strikes you're out policy.
Funny thing is, alot of people I know in person hacked Modern Warfare 2 and, since they werent getting caught cos IW doesnt give a damn some are apparently going to hack Halo.
It will be funny when I see all my friends raging in class because all 50 of their hacked up Xbox accounts kept running by the subscriptions they get from mommy suddenly get nuked to 9999.
Although what sucks is sometimes my internet randomly disconnects, this happened just after I got a challenge done on single player online firefight.
I reconnected and got the challenge again so I wonder if im gonna lose all my money im saving up to get Sergeant Johnsons voice.
Although knowing Bungie they probably wouldnt do something that harsh just cos of one...fortunate accident....
*Looks at Halo rank bar* THEY DID WHAT!!!!???? : D

is there somewhere where you can find the bannable offences? the first post there is a little vague, people keep mentioning some target designator thing/ONI sword base and other random shit.
It comes with the stupid territory that people want to be first to do and get things. People idiotically think they will be viewed as cool if they have one of those couple hundred thousand credit bizarre armor effects, or armor pieces.Amnestic said:
They don't effect on gameplay, but people will look different. One of those armor effects is where if you are killed, your body will look like it has pestilent stink gas coming off of it. One will have hearts shoot out of your body when you are killed, if I'm right on what the armor effect does.
You reminded me, oh I hope I don't get rank/credit cleared. My university has a stupid policy that if you are too active on the internet, downloading, tv show and movie watching, and gaming, etc, they like to throttle down the internet connection to my campus apartment. When that happens it disconnects me from Live. It has happened twice while I was playing.IBlackKiteI said:
Hmmm, hope Bungie was being extra careful when selecting people for this ban/wipe.
I did that ONI Sword exploit once for ten minutes. It would be a shame if i lost the other hours i put in of firefights and Capture the flags for that.
Oh well, it's not like you get anything that actually benefits you through points and rank.

You may as well say that haven't people learned that piracy is wrong or that the bank really doesn't care about your call.Tom Goldman said:
Oh those posts are hilarious. Page fifty, some guy comes in, finds someone pointed out the flat obvious to him - courteously and nicely, too! - and reports him since it's "people like him bungie should be banning."
...
So. Bungie should only allow morons to play their game?
