Cheaters. They're the bane of every online title, for sure - but this must set something of a record. Before even going on sale earlier today, Bungie reacted to reports of users cheating in Halo: Reach's multiplayer mode.
The development team wrote a stern message on its website, days before the official game's launch, that said "We are already aware of a number of nefarious deeds by a very small percentage of early adopters and we have already been taking action. We expect that a few more will turn up once the population explodes on September 14th.
"Our team is standing at the ready behind the sights of our fully operational Banhammer Battlestation. We take the Reach online experience VERY seriously," the message continued. "Bungie has invested years of hard work creating a game that we want our fans to enjoy for years to come and we have zero tolerance for people who try and ruin that experience for others."
Eep. With the game sold early and apparently leaked a month before launch, it's no wonder there are alleged cheaters floating around Xbox Live already. Hopefully anyone caught in any wrongdoing will be culled to allow everyone else to enjoy the fun.
For those who want to have fun, why not read our Halo: Reach review if you've not already done so.

I was playing last night a some dirty scum f**ker! was getting headshot after headshot using a pistol with a score of 35+ obviously he was a cheating s**t, and I took great satisfaction in hammering him down from behind a couple of times, but seriously it ruins the game for everyone.
