I never heard of Halo 2 XBOX mods, other than some guy who was modding types, and said he modded. Of course, he got banned.
And Halo 3 should have mods, but according to Bungie, modding = ban.I know Bungie don't ban for mods...its Microsofts doing.
Bungie has made some sort of an agreement to Halo 3 Xbox360 modders, who use the developer 360's to disable .xex map checksum.
they agree not to ban them, on the condition they keep to custom games and research purposes.
which in my eyes mean, Bungie does care about the modding community, but since Microsoft owns the Halo IP, they are -blam!-.

You want to be creative, can't get anymore creative than with the SKD..want AI, I believe you can choose spawn points, crescendo events and more this is why they = win.
SDK = win.
Actually, people with developer xbox 360's wouldn't get banned at all in the first place. They are supposed to have a licences from Microsoft to use those developer 360's. And also, developer 360's can't connect to xbox live. They use a separate online service called PartnerNet. So Bungie didn't make any deal with them whatsoever. They were allowed to mod maps already as long as they legally obtained their developer 360's which some people didn't.
Now Bungie did agree not to ban people caught playing modded maps or gametypes on the regular Xbox 360 in custom games or forge. But really, including an HEK with Halo 3 PC, the average player wouldn't know how to use it. And it get's more complicated as the game gets newer.
Also, if ODST is released for PC, knowing the past HEK's, another HEK would not be released for ODST because ODST does not have any multiplayer modes. It only has Campaign and Firefight. And Firefight mode is the same as campaign except instead of a story mode, you fight waves of enemies. I doubt Halo 3 PC will allow you to edit AI with the HEK. If it doesn't let you, then there's no way you're getting an HEK for ODST.
