The Bungie Waaambulance
Frankie caused me to giggle at my desk again. In his latest ‘news’ entry at Bungie.net he shows off some of the emails people have sent after they got banned from Xbox Live because of cheating in Halo 2 matchmaking. “We only ban people from Halo 2 matchmaking – not from Live, and we ban them for all sorts of reasons,” he says.
Anyway you probably know the process (I bet you’ve been banned from something once); someone gets banned and they’re upset so they decide to send a sad email to customer service or the webmaster, either saying they didn’t do anything wrong or promising they won’t do it again and begging for their account. Keep in mind that you can’t get banned because of modding your Xbox, threatening, harassment or anything like that (it’s not Bungie’s call).
These are a few of my favorites:
“well im emailing Bungie in concerning with my account. My account has been stolen from some people and the stoler has use my account to cheat or team standby with it and i juss got the account back today. –blam!- and when i go into macthmaking in halo 2 it would kick me back out to the menu and said I was banned for some reason. so can you please help me get back my account because i didnt do anything wrong thank you very much.“
Bungie: “Damn stolers, goinÂ’ around stoleing stuff.”
“Dude guys I was killing those guys to dust, how I get banned!??! I grabbed a BR and killed 7 people in 4:00 minutes around there. I WAS NOT CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!! Even ask this kid who I played with who is on my friends list: –blam!- O.k., we were down by like 23 points in ascension and caught up and won!! I never give up on team slayer. Oh yeah on that level One guy on the red team tried to secondary standby us but I sniped him before he could do it!! Everybodys connection was red and except for the secondary standbyer. So heÂ’s the cheater, NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Bungie: “If only everyone were as skilled as you, we wouldnÂ’t need to dedicate so many resources as we do to stopping cheaters. Players that can sense when their opponent is reaching for the standby button and can then kill them to dust are the wave of the future.”
