That's a good deal. It even says buy 3 get 1 free. I could pick up a couple for some of my clan buddies. If everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't we? You've got to do what you can to even the playing field.

My bad, didn't check his other auctions. My brother, greendj27, lives in Madison. Should I send him after this guy.:twisted:

Okay, I'm a pc gamer, not an xbox gamer, but don't they kick people that lag like that? Hell, most pc games can be set to autokick when people hit a certain ping. Is this not available on most xbox live games?
Considering his name is lagswitch*com, and he has 141 feedback... he's probably sold a bunch of these already.
Competitive online gaming will always be a joke.

if every1 does it, every1 will lag... BTW, this can easily be stopped... if connection is lost or really low, you are automatically booted.

Well, according to bungie, they are working one a fix for this for Halo, so hopefully that will put this guy out of business.
Oh, and I would be glad to drive over to this fuckers house. ;)

Can you imagine two people with this fighting each other?
1 is being shot by 2. 1 turns on LS and moves behind 2 while he shoots his ghost. 1 appears and shoots 2 in the back, 2 turns on his LS and moves behind one.
1- I shot you, why are you behind me? u r teh gh3yxorz!
2- pff, stfu nubxor. I pwn3d j00 wit 1337 $killz.
1- You cheated, I u r teh homoxorz!

We need to take up a fund to have CAG buy one of them, dissect it, and then see if he's as full of crap as he appears.

It would be great if Xbox Live could detect these douchebags and ban their accounts.
This is why I don't play ranked games in Halo 2 anymore.
People always find ways to cheat. I remember somebody telling me that one of the first Sega football games on live would let you get delay of game penalties over and over forever. So some poor sports, when they were so far behind they couldn't come back, would just let the game sit and give them delays over and over for hours at a time. Basically turning it into seeing who was more stubborn, or had their connection go down first.
Hell when I play chess online every so often somebody I'm beating will decide to offer me a draw over and over and over. Just to try to get me to screw up (it can break up your mouse drag) or have me accidentally click 'Accept' that 100th time. Very lame.
The latest OXM mentions 'cheating on Halo 2' as the biggest downer of the month. When I saw that I knew it must be REALLY bad.
And this guy changed his id from usedtelephones to lagswitch*com just last month. I guess the used phone business wasn't going so well :rofl:

It's bad enough that I won't play in a Matchmade game unless the team I'm on has the host, just to try and prevent being cheated against. And even then, that's not a guarantee on it.
Bugnie's patch for these issues can't come soon enough.

This is why unranked games are the best. Online competition is only good in environments where there is no cheating, like the Madden Challenge.

What's the point of even playing if you are going to cheat. I mean if you really wanna be good at something just practice. Cheating only ruins the game for other people.

Yep several games automatically boot you out if you're lagging behind everyone else. Crimson Skies, for one, and most other games the host can kick anyone out or you can do a group vote out etc, so anyone using a cheat like this won't get very far.

the only fun cheating was using the all doors unlocked cheat in goldeneye, that makes the facility board tons bigger, with more fun

Do you really need to buy one to see how it works? It's just a box with RJ-45 jacks connected to a light switch to connect/disconnect the lines to cause lag. It works the same as unplugging the line from your Xbox or hitting the standby button on your modem, only it's more convenient. It should only cost a few bucks in materials to build.

i know somebody online who made his own the exact same way to lag in socom II. It just disconnects one or two of the wires and then reconnects them when you flip the switch back...

What cheat is that? I'd love to fire up Goldeneye and exploit that.

It would be nice if the Halo 2 matchmaking put all the cheaters in games against each other.
