In the late-2000’s, I spent more time than I care to admit playing Halo online. During this time I was exposed to (but did not participate in) the small but unavoidable modding community within the game. People who had found ways to cheat, or alter the game to either win or sometimes just to implement fun new features. One of the techniques used was “Standby” cheating, which was when software was used to block the internet connections of the players on the opposing team, send large amounts of information to their connections, and force them to drop out of the game. If you were playing a 4v4 matchmaking game 3 of your teammates could be dropped from the game and the opposing team would just wait around to either kill you or run the clock for the win.
