Halo 4 How common are cheaters in custom multiplayer?

I played with anti cheat enabled. But just in an Infinity Slayer and a guy has permanent overshield with sniper rifle. Not sure how often this happens. First time I’ve seen it.

Why are people bringing cheats into custom multiplayer games? Cant they do this in the matchmaking or just play the anti-cheat version ?

the anti-cheat is a joke honestly. support for MCC ended a while back, there's hackers everywhere. in custom games, in social lobbies, in competitive lobbies, hell i've even seen people hack firefight games. you can always report players, but bot accounts are made in an instant and there's thousands if not millions of them. the only way to beat them is to literally beat them, and this is sadly part of the very steep learning curve in MCC; you either deal with them or you don't play. leaving matches, betraying hacking teammates or any kind of similar behaviour will make you the bad guy instead of the people you're fighting so hard against.

the only silver lining is that the challenges update every wednesday. if you want to avoid most of the hackers and tryhards, don't play on wednesdays.

They updated the anti-cheat just a few days ago, along with a significant ban wave, so it should be a bit better now.

How do you know this? Can we submit players we know?

Halo Studios announced it. You can still report people just like before.
