Halo PC users are still like that. I sniped a guy while he was bunny hopping and he called me a n00b because I shot him "while he was typing" :rolleyes:

*shrugs* I always tell people who say that to pick a better spot to type in.  ;7

Seriously, I type messages quickly enough that it doesn't really hinder my performance in Halo. If they're slow typers, either hide before typing, or stop talking and PLAY. :nod:

Ditto. But IMHO, teamkillers who kill you FOR THE WEAPON YOU ARE CURRENTLY HOLDING are the worst. Jeez, if you want it, ask for it or go find another one before I snipe you while sipping my coffee.

These aren't technically rules, they're more like what the average user does in a given situation.

By the way, "Rule" No. 6* happens all the time.

*script kiddies/cheaters, not hackers.

Yes, there are a ton of "Wallhacks" and "aimbots" out there... they suck.  A skilled player, you can hope to beat.  A cheater.... maybe if he's lighting his cigarette.

It's also true that good players are routinely called cheaters by average noobs and banned from games by the server admins, which was the point they were making. That happened to me more times than I could count back when I played UT. It's a good thing there are so many servers in most of these games that it doesn't matter. :p
