:/ this is still going on?
inb4lock?
E: Look, how about we let this go, and you can just flame them ingame when you see someone using those extra 20 degrees to their extreme advantage. Make sure you can prove it too. I'm sure theirs gonna be a sightjacker to come out for h2v. You could use that, record it, and report them to bungie.
Either that or just not give a shit, because H2Vista has no ranking system of any kind, so it REALLY doesn't matter if someone has an advantage or not. If this were the XBox title, however, THEN I think there'd be an issue.
Not to mention, look at all the shit released for Halo 1 PC. Third Person FOV hacks and chasecams and shit. I really don't care if people use them, third person's fun sometimes to be honest. Gears of War camera ftw.
I took a look more into it using the 3p hack for CE.Quote:

As for thirdperson, while you could move the camera around freely with bitter's hack, the fact that there's only one button on the Halo 2 hack leads me to believe that it does something like make the player's camera into the standard over-the-shoulder mounted turret camera. And again, peeking around the corner strategies here don't work that well; you can only peek around corners to your right, and if you pop out for a shot, your cover is blown and you end up eating a grenade sandwich.
I fully agree.
I was actually joking, saying to use a hack to catch a hacker. He would be just as guilty.
I just tested the third person. And, to my expectations, it makes your shots innacurate. I.E. They shoot BELOW the reticule. The third person, while giving the player a better FOV, also makes the shots innacurate.
You can't even zoom in with it in third person. DEFINITELY not an advantage while sniping. Especially since you have to MINIMIZE Halo 2 to hit the button.
I don't know if you guys recall bb's fixed TP for halo pc? Made sure the cross hair didn't screw up. Though, it was not all that good because you'd see cutting in the gameplay where the crosshair is trying to sort out where it SHOULD be when going up a hill, or down, or jumping.Quote:

Aswell as to go back to the fov we had on xbox. Everytime I've used this program, I've played worse. For one, as said before, the TP HUD is inaccurate.
Watching round corners is something you CAN do, but hell, every time I do it, the server is a laggy as fuck, and my melees turn into clusterfucks, and I end up receiving a gun planted in my back. (Lol, lunging melee)
While cheating is something I don't want to see in the future, I can fully see these apps helping with machinima, removing hud, making a better panoramic view for FP camera filming etc. Calm down guys, aslong as there are games there will be hacks. I haven't seen a game come out hack free. Hell, games with continuous support still have hacks, and the reason there is support is because alot of the community want to go beyond the game's playing box. Most devs are just making sure no dangerous apps come out, like player highlighting, see throughable bsp, etc.
I can fully understand why some apps are not removed, because they can make the game fun again. As soon as halo 1 became boring for me, I began pubbing with TP to try out new gameplay. I even filmed incase people thought I was unfairly using it. Honestly, this app will not give you an advantage. Just because an app is nulled out in updates doesn't make it intentional, I recall this happeneing to PY. If you have problems with a hack on the forums, just pm an admin/mod, because if a thread survives this long, it's fine. It will not be removed.
Rosco nailed it.
"Calm down guys, aslong as there are games there will be hacks. I haven't seen a game come out hack free."
I agree 100% with that quote.
The height issue has been fixed, and sprt4n is adding the keyboard controlls, check the first post soon for the update.
Some of us want this only for single player, so no ethical problems there.
True, and for those who have xp only, Im working on a version of it for xp :)
