judgement day for modders? somehow i REALLY doubt that. Yes a few will get banned, but most of the smart ones wont get online till the modding community says what they are banning for. Beleive me, M$ has had many different mod "catching" methods b4, and all have become passable. Most ppl that play online, all actually, turn their chips off, because M$ can detect if its on. M$ would check to see if your hard drive was changed if you had a live account b4 u put a hard drive in if you modded, but thats why most ppl just upgrade, then get live. Now M$ and Bungie are goin to come up with some brilliant idea, like checking saves, and map files. Congrats, this will indeed stop the modders from cheating! And I am happy as everyone else. BUT this also will probably take out the "good" modders who haven't used ANY hacks/mods online, nor cheated. That being said, just move any hacked/modded save off the c drive, as well as any saves not from an official xbox game, and any dashboards. Blam, not banned, BUT no cheating could be possible. Now if they do the unthinkable and update your chip so it can read the F drive, and scan that for stuff, im sure there will be a class action lawsuit filed against the almighty monopoly for invasion of privacy, due to the fact that the hard drives are your property that you purchased seperately and put in. Either way, this is a scary time for modders, good or bad. Will this be for the good of M$ and Bungie? OR will this just make halo 2 online a little better? . Either way, i support both sides, modders and M$/Bungie. Just don't take away part of the fun from owners of modded xboxs just because some ppl cheat, take the cheat away from the cheaters, not the service away from the players. Either way, the only thing getting hurt here is the players, cheaters deserved to be punished, but its M$ who released games with soft mod capability, and it's also M$ who didn't protect their system enough. Also, Bungie should put in one of those lil did you know things on halo 2 loading screens that super bounce's are legal to do.
ANYVAY, ALL HAIL BUNGIE, FOR THEY ARE MY GOD....oh wait....im athiest....
