foo, if you want to cheat, go ahead and cheat. Put peanut butter on the disk and fling it out the window. Whatever. It's your $60. Just accept the fact that Microsoft wont give you the credit that somebody, who worked through the same problem you bypassed, is getting. You won't get credit for beating level 4 because you skipped it. Cool. Gamerscore means nothing. If it means THAT much to you, make a separate "cheater profile". Cheat all you want. Use your "legit profile" when you go online. Be happy.

The End

You apperantly aren't reading my posts, I don't even like the achievments and will be gald when they are wiped out. My point is a company should not embarrase it's customers with a list that exposes them as a cheater, when 1. they can't cheat online. and 2. offline cheating has nothing to do with the rest of the world. I'm fine if they came up with a way of stopping me from taking credit from other saves, in fact when i used someone elses save I didn't even know that would work and was shocked it did.

I just think the list is misleading, it'll make other gamers think you've been caught cheating online. and that you shouldn't be trust in matches.

 I am all for MS trying to discourage cheating and to crack down on it.  But I do think creating a list of names and putting cheater in the Gamer Tag is too much.  I think zeroing out the Gamer Score is a great idea, and the 'cheater' not being able to regain the points for past Achievements.  That I like.  But I think they should nix the list and cheater title, but add a reduction in the max the 'cheaters' reputation can obtain.  For instance, make it so that the most stars they can ever get in Rep is 4, rather than 5.
