Will this get the downloaders banned if they download?
Why would Bungie.net let people post these files on their site to begin with?

Modded? Do you mean Forged maps? Of course you can. There's no sense in posting their normal variants--everyone has them.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Ok, I tell you.

First, no the downloaders will not get banned for downloading the maps.

Second, Bungie does not like people sharing all the modded maps on their fileshare, but it does no harm to Halo 3.

See, those modded maps are actually forge variants modded by a few people. Since they are forge variants, they cannot be used in MM and for cheating purposes.

These maps are resigned by Anthony with his CON resigner that will never be public. He has a close group of friends who he lets edit the variants, then he resigns them and makes them playable.

But, don't get a CON resigner confused with an actual resigner. There is currently no Halo 3 map resigner, so that means no modding in Halo 3 MM. The variants can only be used in custom games for fun, so that's why Bungie probably doesn't delete theme.

The only people who can actually mod Halo 3's map files contain an dev kit or an xbox that works as a dev kit. An example of actual Halo 3 modding would be duel-wielding a Spartan Laser.

Don't worry. Blizzard's right. But I'm not sure if it is considered cheating to play modded maps in custom games (like Halo 2). Also if we see a modded map/picture do we report it?

I don't think Bungie will be handing out bans until people start map modding.

With the CON R. being kept private, there really is no threat for Bungie because it can only produce fun.

Scaring people with my idiocy daily.

I personally will not report modders unless I see them in matchmaking. Imo modding in customs is fine but matchmaking is 100% unnaceptable.

I checked out valhalla- trees on their sides and librarians,spartans and white elites....and some pieces of the in game turretslaying around.
boring.

Last resort- had warthog turrets laying around. spartans and elites,oddballs, a white team flag and two out of place wheels. one was in the water.
boring.

high ground
spartans and elite bots everywhere and some weird bridge pieces near the water.
boring

sandtrap- had tanks on things two stacked elephants and four by the downed phantom.
boring.

I was expecting some d-birds....weird sites etc....
and no im not banned.
but i didnt invite anyone as the custom game was invite only..
didnt go into forge in fear i might accidentaly save.

iF THEY WERENT TAMPERING WITH THE CODE THEN EXPLAIN THE OUT OF PLACE WHEELS ON LAST RESORT.
thats modding!(pretty sure)
but the other stuff is glitches...cept those in game turrets on valhalla....
dumb stuff really.

And I agree modding"glitching" custom games should be allowed, but not multiplayer.
Also,these maps are a waste of time.
I think someone either held standby and saved or uploaded/downloaded a shi77on on a router and saved. And thats how they are glitched, jus a theroy
