I'm brand new to the forums and only wish to bring up one thing, rather than contribute to what will likely be a flame war over nothing important... Why are hackers irrelevent? I'm no stooge when it comes to tech, but when I play Halo:CE on the PC on multiplayer, people hack or mod all the time, on servers, or clients. Why would the jump from Halo:CE to Halo 3 be so vast, it would be, apparently, impossible? I'm not caught up very much with whatever SDK's Microsoft is using, so if they upgraded security vastly and can detect mods and hacks very reliably, that might be a different story, but I'm basically asking what you guys think of it and why. Or, was I just misunderstanding, and you were all saying that the reason the "omg hackers" argument doesn't work, is because hackers are irrelevant, people would still buy the game?
