Bungie resets credits on 15K Halo: Reach cheaters

4.1
On top of announcing an earlier than expected playlist update (coming this Tuesday), Bungie revealed last night that it has reset the credits and ranks of "approximately" 15,000 Halo: Reach accounts. The studio also applied a one day credit earning ban on affected players, less for punishment than to "ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken."

The resets were handled last evening and specifically targeted folks who employed "an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.)." Bungie will also be completing a "more comprehensive pass" later this week, after the studio is confident enough in its automated banning system.

theartftw I agree with banning cheaters, but banning AFK people, quitters, and glitchers? MW2 may have had a lack of bans but atleast it wasn't ban crazy..


the sad thing is that it needs to be lik that to stop people from cheating... its funny how these things backfire on us... thats why i quit modding a month ago
