Standby ever heard of it?
Well standby is pretty much a cheating device. Using standby on xbox live locks a victory ever time and isn’t fair at all. From what I heard standby is located on a modem or routerWhat does it do?
During any kind of game on Xbox Live during a Halo2 match if a person uses standby it causes all other players screens to go blue cause the words reconnecting to pop up. Now their screens stay like this until the player responsible decides so turn off the standby or complete their desired task of either, capturing their opponents flag or planting a bomb or even going around racking up 30plus kills.
When do u know is someone is using Standby?
It is mostly hard to know unless.....one second the flag is at your base the next they score (kinda obvious) or one player suddenly has a large number of kills.
BUT BE CAREFUL
Just because your screen goes blue doesn’t mean somebody is cheating by using standby it could be from someone dropping out of the game
