It seems like ppl using mods has been much worse since Frankie said they will ban hackers. All of my friends say half of their games are against modders. I think they are testing Bungie and XBox Live to piss them off. And a lot of them dont get banned either.

i get it that people want to ban "modders" but the thing is it takes a lot to be able to creat your own hack on any game i for one have no earthly idea how its down, however i think waht a lot of players have forgoten is that "HALO IS JUST A V I D E O GAME" nothing more . granted is very fun and is a great break from all the b.s. that they show on tv. Im 25 and i play just to have fun, what kills me is that some players that are better than me are like 10-12 yrs old, i dont mind that they young but shouldn't be be in bed or studding for school its just sad. also cant they set up another server for people that want to openly mod maps, weapons, levels whatever it was done before it was done on the pc version and you could download all sorts of player created maps that was really fun just knowing that some 12 yr old created a map that was funner that some of the maps that are on halo 2, like the NEW ZANZIBAR map that was pretty fun.

Seriously i get the whole HALO IS JUST A VIDEO GAME thing, but anyone who says that is just stupid. Yeah it's just a video game, i don't really care much about my level in this game. But people who cheat just ruin the game, it's not even fun to play with them. What fun is it to play a game where you're basically gonna lose no matter what? It's not even like you get to play the game cuz it goes by so quickly cuz of their mods. Not only are the pissin off the people who really care about ranks and stuff, the people who play for fun can't even do that anymore.

I'm extremely impressed with Halo 2, but I have managed to come across two main complaints thus far. Figured I'd voice my opinion about at least one of them in the small chance you might actually listen.

I must say that the decision to take radar off of *all* head-to-head gametypes simply doesn't make sense to me. I generally don't have any problem with any particular game variation (including no radar), but this one just stands out like a sore thumb. One of the most intense and depth-producing aspects of a one-on-one battle is the motion-detector, move/countermove, attack/counterattack sort of dance between the two players. A move is made, seen on the radar, countered, and that move is countered, so on and so forth... where it really becomes an insanely deep, tactical, strategic battle of wits between the two players to attempt to find the best point of attack. That kind of gameplay really hooked me on head-to-head matchmaking. But now it's gone. Not just in *some* gametypes... but in ALL. Completely wiped clean. No balance, no variation, nothing. As I played head to head matches without it, I realized that now it's more of a luck-based, hit-and-miss style of gameplay... where you just better hope you're facing the right direction at the right time. You're constantly at risk without any chance of defending yourself if the opponent just so happens to spawn or unintentionally run behind you at the right time. The only real way around that kind of danger is to get the first kill and back into a corner, which is a completely lame way to play the game, obviously. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt too much to remove radar from such games like oddball, king, and bigger sized head to head maps like Ascension. But I strongly suggest you consider adding it back to some of the appropriate gametypes... it would bring head to head back to its former glory. Thanks for your time.

i recently played a game on warlock where a player on the opposing team would super bounce everytime he jumped anywhere, and it would take one battle rifle shot to kill us. he would soar through the air and get double and triple kills as we spawned. I cant remember the players name but i think you guys marked the game as unreliable but i still lost my 28. I was very mad and plus we got killed, i dont even think we got to 10 kills, the mod user had like 30 something kills 1 death in the very beginning. I was hoping that you guys could do something quick about this because my friends and i have experienced many other games with similar effects and results.

Are any of you gonna get the 360 when it comes out? I hear that the new XBox Live will have better "anti-cheeting" technology. What do you think?

Please take some of the cheaters off of the leaderboards. People like IM USING H4X, XX MODDER 1 XX AND XX MODDER 2 XX are redlights. You guys stated that people using hax light up your system like a wildfire, well why are there still modders than? You guys threatened everyone by telling them there i s an immediate ban punishment yet no one takes you serious, because we all know you guys just sit on your asses all day doing "Work" Your not reliable and no one is scared, maybe its time to start actually checking stats and banning people. Its pretty easy to check someones recent games and to see WARLOCK WARLOCK WARLOCK WARLOCK WARLOCK with the occasional CONTAINMENT........you guys are awesome but suck at the same time.

I was just wondering on how they are able to get online and hack a map? I played this one player, and he just tore everyone up, jumping on the ceiling and firing like crazy! Now when i looked at the game stats and you can tell!
http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo2WebMaps/richgame.aspx?g=2122 22672&mn=0&mx=248&v=80&p=2&zs=1
That was a couple of days ago, and he is doing it constantly and i know i am not the only one who left feedback on this person! He jumped 14 levels in 1 day! And it seems like nothing is being done about it, I am not saying nothing is being done! But why does it take so long for the feedback system to work, even though i understand how many you must get!

Some people do hack all the time. I've been lucky enough that i'm playin on a new tag so i'm not up in the mid to high 20's yet. If you're a level 25+ you see hacking all the time. It's cuz these people make it so they only play on the new maps. Even being a 16 on skirmish i'm still running into these people. I played 2 games against hackers last night. And wow is it fun to play neutral bomb on warlock and have the game last like under 2 minutes. These people are ruining the gaming experience, it's not even fun.

Bungie. I play with this guy who mods every once in a while. And I don't like it, but he's a good friend and he's good. Is it ok if I'm playing with him and he ends up modding when I don't want him to?

and if he is just playing normal, like i am goiing to ask him to today cause I'm sick of him hacking but I want to play with him. But say we are playing normal and we run into hackers, they are hacking us and there is nothing we can do. Is it ok if he fights back by running fast and jumping high. Basically modding back. Like what if we used it in self defense well he uses it. oh and please give him one more chance bungie. I will tell him to stop and i am sure he will do it. I am saying this because he only started two days ago and I know i can get him to stop. I can tell him that he will get banned and it's easy to detect so that he wont do it but if he doesn't listen i guess you guys should just ban him but give im till tommorrow and if he does it after tommarrow, ban him so that he wont ruin any body elses games any more. I will not play with him anymore unless he stops and if he mods i will just quit.

Honestly, I totally understand that they don't have everything set up to detect the hackers and everything. It's gotta through testing and what now. But Bungie is lazy as $HIT!!!

All they'd have to do is spend a little time going through their leader boards and looking for some people and banning them immediately. There are lots of people who you can tell cheat just by their names. Others you only have to check their games to see that they cheat, it would be so easy for them to check that but still these people remain on the leaderboards.

And this is why 12 year olds should be banned from all forums....FIrst of all half of what you said makes no sense. They're not hacking anyone's files, they've just modified their own files. And as for the whole camera thing, are you stupid? It's gonna have video enabled, not required. All you gotta do is unplug it, turn it off, face it towards the wall, or not buy one. Plus any parent who allows their daughter to play on xbl with a camera is completely irresponsible (as are the parents that let their 14 year old daughter have webcams on their computers now) You know how many people have webcams on their computers? It's not like you can just randomly hack into people cams and see them. As for charging them a fee that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The reason microsoft hates mods for xbox is cuz it makes them lose money. Not only can people change things about games, they can download games. Alll you gotta do is rent a game, copy it, and play it all you want. I bet microsoft was mad when they came out with netflix style video game company.

I personally know people with modded xbox's and ps2's. The thing is, they don't take them online, or if they do they do it on xbc. They don't cheat, it's just a way for them to play every game they want and not have it cost a fortune. It's still not right though,
