He told everyone on his blog. Anyway it looks like he's just joining the games and not fighting... Plus some of those games are when he's playing preseason games or at practice. Weird.
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-28-163/Gilbert-Arenas-Halo-Gate.html Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog, in a real show-off move, confronted Arenas about it, and demanded a "60 Minutes" style confession: "Gilbert," I said, approximately, "people say you're cheating at Halo 3." "I'm cheating?" he said. "How am I cheating?" "Gilbert," I asked, approximately, "are you creating dummy games with two fake friends and using the wins to rack up experience points?" "Yeah," he said, laughing. "Yeah." Sigh. "It's a glitch," he explained. "It's a glitch in the game. I seen some kids that were like 600s, they won 600 Halo games and we only had that game for two weeks. And all the kids go to school. So I'm like, 'What the hell you all doing?' And they said that's what they doing, two-on-two." http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2007/10/is_gilbert_cheating_at_halo.html#more
[QUOTE = Gilbert Arenas]He said he just discovered the trick last night with a buddy, and that they did it about 25 times. He said usually he plays with the kids from his own team, Final Boss. And he scoffed at the suggestion that he was doing this to compensate for below-average gaming skills. "That has nothing to do with me playing against other people, because when I play against other people I'm a 47 out of 50," he argued. "It has nothing to do with your [skill]. That's just like me playing basketball and I say, 'The first one to 100,000 shots...' and I go in there and say 'Yeah, I made 100,000, I won.' But when you go out there you can't shoot the ball." In other words, his argument is that he can shoot the ball, so any trickeration should be forgiven. But now that he'd been called out, I suggested, he wouldn't keep pulling the scam, right?[/QUOTE] Incredible how he related his Halo skills to his basketball. Man, I wish we could trade all our extra players + picks for the next few seasons for this guy.
Quick trade him from your fantasy teams! If he's spending that much time playing online the guy has to be out of shape.
i heard him on jim rome last week, which was totally EPIC and FRESH! i almost crashed my SLED, which probably would have knocked out all my CHINA...my CHICKLETS! sorry about that...i dont know what happened there anyway, gilbert seems like a nice guy, but a total bs'er. he said he plays videogames for 10 hours a day and sleeps 3 hours a nite.
On a similar note, an article on ESPN.com about professional gamers mentioned that Richard Jefferson pays $115 an hour for gaming lessons from one of the top pro gamers that has a $250k contract.
what thats terrible so what he cares about playing that much that he just doesnt try to practice by himself and get better.
