Well I hope bungie actually does something about these cheaters. And not just make empty threats.
To be honest I don't really understand this whole bridging thing fully, but I guess, if it applies to networking how I think, then yes, it could be used to alter everything to do with connection to the host, slowing down someone's connection, or preventing it altogether.
However, horrible lag could just be caused by a rubbish connection to the host.

In a nut shell bridging is taking a xbox and connecting it through a computer for it to access the internet. Yes, yes two ethernet ports are needed. The computer along with certain network monitoring software will then be able to "control" who gets host and even lag out other players.
It was originally supposed to prevent the modders from getting host every time, I think. But of course that idea backfired and only gave the cheaters in general another toy to play with.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
