How Cheaters Cheat at Halo 2

An anonymous reader writes "Built on a network that automatically bans gamers that have modified their Xbox, Xbox Live should be nearly cheat-proof. However, it's not, as anyone playing Halo 2 online already knows. How do cheaters on Xbox Live manage to artificially boost their rankings? What is Bridging? What is Standby? This article takes a look at what exactly is done when a cheater cheats, and what exactly Bungie is doing about it. It includes videos and some very funny letters from 13-year-olds that have been baned from matchmaking on Live and are desperately trying to worm their way back onto the system."

    Xboxlive is a way for M$ to suck more money from people by charging them for downloadable content and stuff. Imagine M$ PassPort for video games and you have an idea of why they're doing it. They don't want 3rd party developers making video games that doesn't fit in their system.
