Oh, I'm so ashamed: I didn't read that someone just asked a similar question. Nevermind, then (unless someone can report that this IS the place to ask; if so, cool, and thanks).

OK, What If I were to design a mod chip and use it in matchmaking. The only difference between my modchip and all those idiots who cheat with theirs, is mine keeps the matches cheat free. So all the physics in the game are kept intact and people could jump thru walls, shoot thru them, and hide in them. Would something like this be allowed, or does this fall in the category of modding and cheating? Thanks, and please respond to this because I don't know if I want to design one. I would call it the anti-mod.

i played a game about umm 3 days ago where the other team all had mods and had one shot battle rifle kills and superjumps anywhere its -blam!- for people who have to play other people w/ mods cuz it makes our ranks go down and theres no way we can beat a damn team w/ all kind of mods. i think bungie should b able to track people w/ mods cuz it sure as hell sucks playing against them. and anyone who plays another team w/ mods should put their names on here so bungie can look em up

i hate cheaters...if you can't play a game without having to cheat, then why even play a game? because i remember one time some guy told me he was a level 30 on his other account in a Head2Head game, and that if i quit he would help me level up in Team Slayer. And being to naive person i was, i quit. I sent him multiple party invites but he never joined my party. I know thats not neccesarily cheating, but it should be something they are aware of though. But i did watch a guy walk straight through a wall, commiting Stand By, and ten he he blammed it on me...anyways...thanks for another good update, and some drawing of Master Chief

Cheaters and modders suck ass and should be banned forever not even able to make another account except if you buy another X-Box. They should remember your X-Box and not let u make more accounts. Cheaters usually suck too. I was playing Team Preview with this one hacker who had the "Auto-Aim" hack where (as u probably know) gives you headshots every time. 25 head shots.

The I VoiDeD I guy had the freakin sniper and had his back turned to me and sniped me.

Just a question...

If you are against a team where one of their guys is cheating, should you leave feedback for cheating to the other people on their team? Cuz they probably would know about it. I quit when people cheat on my team and I know about it.

OMFG there are SO MANY PEOPLE cheating in matchmaking, it's to the point where I just dont want to play halo 2 anymore except for system link matches. I really hope your not bluffing, bungie, because if it doesnt get better I'm not gonna bother buying Halo 3. I'll beat campiegn mode at a friends house and be done with it. I'm not saying I cant stand loosing, but when its at the point that I am playing three matches in a row against modded boxs Its just not worth it to get my stats up. Anyone wanna play custom games, double team, Etc., my gamer tag is Ltn Syntech. If you have a modded Xbox, -blam!- you.

It's short for "Newbie" meaning, "New Player." It is used exclusively by players who've apparently forgotten that without exception, they were recently "noobs" too. Anyway, it's a general insult and it's often applied in the following context - "Noob-Combo." Referring to Plasma Pistol and Battle Rifle combo, which is far from a Noob combo. In fact a real noob combo would be one Needler and a handkerchief.


see, this is a 100 % proof why you bungie people lack halo 2 pro's.
son, battle rifle and plasma pistol is refred to ''noob combo'' because only the weak, unaccurate, dirty little noobs use it, the sad thing is that you guys didnt reach the point like me where you can actully dodge that -blam!-. if you play in a pro's game and p shoot, your actully gonna get owned because at pro level, we are fast enough to tell when your gonna shoot it.

every play with pro's?? and when i mean by pro's i only mean like 5 people including me.. in all of halo 2, so dont get me wrong.

I reached level 35 in ts like a ferrari, you can tell that from my ratio, and i could of easily reached 40. but sad thing is 50 % of my friends quit this game because of how unbalanced it is.


Spoken like a true moron. I love how people cry about a simple combination of a plasma pistol and BR, a.k.a. "newb combo". You people must really suck. There are much more lethal combos than that. For example: plasma pistol/melee, plasma pistol/brute shot, duel-needlers/BR, all of which are instant kills. I personally lurk around confined areas with just a plasma pistol and then I melee. The trick is changing positions so people don't know where you are. You get alot of spawn kills this way too.

P.S. If you were a "pro" you wouldn't be crying over combinations. That's called a CONTRADICTION! If your a pro then ACT like one. Just remember if your calling someone a newb, it probably means your getting owned, and if your getting owned by a newb then what does that make you?

OMFG you -blam!-! OF COURSE IT IS, RE-FREAKING-TARD!! And to clear it up further, ANYTHING THAT CHANGES, ALTERS, UPGRADES OR EFFECTS THE GAMEPLAY, GAME CONTENT, MATCHMAKING MAPS OR SAVES, AND MATCHMAKING STATS IS CHEATING!!!!!!! How in the hell can we make this any clearer? Dont change anything at all, and if you have the urge, turn off your xbox and walk away!

I think that cheating it really -blam!- and that bungie is doing nothing about it. Bungie is making me mad with all there lies. They say that when people use mods to cheat they know but they are just lieing. If they did now people would be banned by now. So I wish pepole would stop or wish i had a mod myself if Bungie is just going to sit back and do nothing.

something ive recently found floating around the web is "special" game variants... stuff like "fight club" and "tag"* and stuff... *(where there is no starting weapon, no weapons on the map, just a single oddball, and you play tag by tossing the oddball at eachother and since no one has a weapon it automatically picks up the ball)... i'm assuming these are "hacked" game variants, but are the bannable offenses? if so, why? what harm are they causing? does it infringe on copyright laws?

-- i know you didnt ask, but heres my take on it = its a "custom" game type, right? its hardly custom if there are restrictions... sure, the person "modded" the files, but not to cheat or screw with the rules, but make an enjoyable game variant that guys at bungie maybe didnt think about... no one is cheating, ranks are not affected, there is no "unfair advantage", basically its a "my freedom ends where yours begins" situtation... plus, the game has the ability to do it, but just not the built-in option -- just like the game has the ability for everyone to do the "super-bounce" but some lack the skill or time to master these moves... so i say (me being a just a guy sitting at home at his computer at 2 AM in his underwear), if you ban for legitimate hacked game varients, you should ban (or at least suspend) for the super-bounce...

I just played against with a team that has a modified XBox or something they can jump so high when ever they want and they can shoot BR like an SMG and they move so fast. Their gamertag are LegendXIII, LEGENDIII, and the other two I'm not sure if they have it or not but those other two I'm sure of it. This is not the first time it happen to me, I hate loosing my rank because of people like them I hope you guys will do something about soon.

Thanks for your time.

My clan keeps getting screwed on warlock. Lots of clans are cheating on that map. In fact of all the times that my clan played on that map only once did we face a clan that did not cheat. They are always gliding around super fast, jumping super high, and getting one hit kills with the BR. And when I look at the stats of those cheating clans so i can report them to h2cheats@microsoft.com, i discover that the only map they ever play on is warlock. 1) how are they cheating like that?, and 2) how are they only ever playing on warlock? I have only ever encountered cheating on the warlock map, leading me to believe that that map is seriously screwed up. As a temporary solution I suggest the removal of warlock from clan matches. Warlock seems particularly glitchy and clans are organized enough to take advantage of that.

I guess the only idiot here is you son,
first no one is stupid if his confused about a game.
dont insult people that propably know much more about life than your ass.
son, there is a big ass differnce between elites and spartans. the only thing that elites differ from spartans is that their just bigger. being bigger in halo 2 means for example, more of your smg shots will hit the elite than a spartan. its a lot easier to shotgun an elite than a spartan, its much easier to snipe an elite in the head than a spartan. so you see, sadly the only stupid person here is you.
and one more thing, being fast at typing isnt about how fast you can write, its about how accurate your typing is plus speed. you dont just type a bunch of wrong and misspelled words and say your fast. and Im much faster than you trust me..


You aren't very accurate for being "fast" at typing. You should probably also learn how to spell common contractions like "they're" (contraction of "they are", not to be mistaken with "their") and "you're" (contraction of "you are", not "your"). If you want to correct someone's grammar and spelling, you should probably start by proofreading your own horrible writing. A little capitalization wouldn't hurt either. People like you make me sick.
