On top of announcing an earlier than expected playlist update (coming this Tuesday), Bungie revealed last night that it has reset the credits and ranks of “approximately” 15,000 Halo: Reach accounts. The studio also applied a one day credit earning ban on affected players, less for punishment than to “ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken.”
The resets were handled last evening and specifically targeted folks who employed “an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.).” Bungie will also be completing a “more comprehensive pass” later this week, after the studio is confident enough in its automated banning system. We’re taking this move as further proof of the age old adage — cheaters never win.
