I am the leader of a hiding clan called the HaloSpotters.

I was just wondering, since I'm thinking about modding halo 2, would bungie ban my account for playing on modded maps on Custom Games with friends?

My understanding when it comes to modded content is that you can be banned by either Bungie or Microsoft if you use it online. Chances are slim Bungie will do much about it because there are so few people on Halo 2, but Microsoft still might. As a general rule its best to stay offline when using anything modded. Remember that modded content does violate the ToU for XBL.

Just an FYI, the mods really don't like the discussion of modded content on the forums.

You don't get banned. You can play Online modded maps in customs ONLY! If you try to join a Matchmaking game with a modded map it will just kick you out of the game and you will be forced to sign back in. But you don't get banned. Once you remove the modded maps from your HDD and put some fresh clean unmodded maps on you will be able to play Matchmaking again...

I used to then my xbox killed over on me lol... I'm probably going to buy a PS3, and then just go out and buy a cheap xbox off of ebay. I refuse to buy another xbox console brand new just so it can break like 4 months later... I wish Bungie would expand their platform to PS3. That would be awesome!

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Actually, that's where you are mistaken. All new Xbox 360's manufactured after 2007 have been fixed so they don't break anymore unless you drop the system out of your window. I've only had to get my 360 repaired once and it hasn't broken anymore for 2 years. No signs of breaking at all.
