What's up Frankie, man I am glad to hear we won't have to deal with getting gunned down by a needler when my partner and I were using shotgun/sword - ME, plasma pistol + battle rifle him. We came around a corner on warlock and caught the Modder from behind, he shot him with the pistol and I the shot gun, as my partner starts laying into his visor. I flip to sword and slash only to turn around and see my bro drop, I charge again but am cut down by his almighty needler.... So no more down the stairwell in his chest rockets, 2 might I add and die from a bone cracker. I love what you are doing and sometimes play 6 hours straight with no food or pee breaks. I am only able to get on about once a week so my rating suck cuz my buddy hates to hear me say, shoot the enemy first then WE will find extra weapons.

I do agree that modding can be fun but not to play Live with it.If u want to mode u should take it xbox live, where u dont have to pay to play. People pay good money to play Live. why should they have to deal with modders.

So true, General Grudge. If theres anything I hate besides frickin modders, it's those who quit at the first sign of defeit. Your not going to win all the time, unless your a gutless modder, so take a loss now and then. But please don't abbandon the rest of your team and have them take on a greater loss. DON'T BE A QUITER!!!

please help with the modding. I believe that if you address it from an alternative standpoint, you may be able to end it for good. Honestly, once you address the mods out now, there will be more. That is they way things go, and if you can actually conceptually understand and address the issue, the answer will present itself. I hate warlock, 1 out of three times if your rank is above 23, you will get put into a game with mods. It makes me not want to play. The worst part about the mods is that people blame their loosing on them when the people arent modding. I think i yell at more kids telling them to shut their whiny mouths and that they werent just modded more thatn i yell about anything, and it is players on my team. No one likes to loose. Loosing due to cheating is terribly frustrating, but if you loose because you got your a** kicked, then right on.
As for the bad language, a lot of the players are pubecent kids so either break your sense of humor down to the 7th grade level and turn what they say around into " yeah so's your mother" or turn your headset off or down, and quit complaining.
So what about the mods, oh I have given a great deal of thought to this, and i have come up with a solution that will/ i repeat will actually work.
Give the kids condoms.
What I mean is give the mods a platform to play online. Let there be a modded option where they can go and play.
Granted this condones it too a degree, but it will keep most of them out of the gaming for the rest of us.
In the 30 + ranked games it is mod vs mod. So please getr rid of this for the rest of us. I is worse than you think. I corrpts the ranking system.
A guy who (without Mods in the mix ) would be an a** kicker and probably mid 30's, is a 23 or 25 because the higher he advances without mods, the more he looses and is knocked back down. That means that me, who would proabably be a 25 or so (with out mods in the mix) gets beat down, looses a rank, and has to #1 hear the business from the others in my clan, and 2 play with players who are not a challenge, and unlike modded folk, I dont think that is fun. PLEASE!!! PLEASE !!! at least think about my solution . I know and you know if you use technology to fix the problem, it will re-surface even stronger like a mutant virus in a sci fi movie. Try diplomacy not technology.
Give the Kids Condoms"

10,000 x 60 dollars per month = at least $600,000 DOLLARS! per year
but the amount of cheaters im guessing is more around the range of 20,000................
that would make the grand total
1.2 million dollars a year!!!!!!!!!

I found this person's case very funny.. I mean all you legit players are crazy to spend 720 dollars a year on XBL [/sarcasm] ..Please do some research before you post :D. As I'm from Europe, I believe that is the yearly cost, and most use trial cards.


Actually, an annual account is only $50 and a trial is $40 so, yeah cobra is a pissed off, paranoid psycho. I don't think they do it for the money, they do it to laugh at weirdos like you.

Frankie,

This happened twice. My friends and I were playing Splitscreen Slayer on Sanctuary, and 1 person would throw a granade at another person and they would die, but it was counted as a suicide. Is this a glitch or something?

i've stopped playing matchmaking and whatnot cuz of all this cheating and offensive language and all the crap that goes on with playing the world. i've had my fill of halo and playing with people who arent in it for fun isnt worth my time. i hope after the update most of the riff raff will be weeded out and we all can play a game for fun again. until then, i'll be playing tetris where my only opponent is that wicked gravity. yeah, im kidding. but im stickin to custom games for now.
p.s. if i hear another person say "noob" or "own" im going into my attic to play pong and candyland. peace BuN G

jtr88 ask's

I love playin halo2 online with people i met on xbox live but it was the best game to play on live now it has been changed into a hellraising nightmear by cheaters fu@#n cheaters sorry about the swearing but these last couple of weeks have been rediculos.I dont blam bungie for this problem but going into matchmaking is just rediculos -blam!- there is so much cheating is has gotten into the point where ur probly better off playin custom games or switching games like ghost recon 2,unreal championship2,conker live & reloaded ect...........these are all awsome games and know there is so much ppl on my friends list playing the new conker game that i have to delete a bunch of friends to play halo2 or just buy the game and i did. i still play halo2 alot but everytime i go into matchmaking i pray to god its not a modder sry to say it is when you get in the 30's range u will get modded its a fact. i can't amagine what bungie has to go through to try and fix this nonsense because its probly just a pain in the a@# to work at bungie and call ppl and such. i have beaten so many ppl legit that they think im modding cuz i have amazing headshot stats and it's cool to have ppl call u a modder when ur not cuz that means i dont have to cheat to be good but i just get all that stuff said to me buy guys that are 37's on the leaderboards teamslayer and stuff. i got a nick name from these guys a.k.a ''king sniper" please fix halo2 so i can stop swearing and so on. i could be on the leaderboards but its the modders taking my spot. others like compr0miz3,Kudos are amazing at sniping to bad he doesnt play any more cuz of the cheating.

please write back to let me know when ur thinking on fixing the modding problem cuz rumors say this monday but hay im just a noob what do i know from xbox live.

I think that the most effective way to stop cheating is by doing this. On the X-Box 360, have a chip that is installed that stops cheating. How, you say? If someone cheats, have the head-honchos at Live send a message to this chip, which is wired with a little explosives. Imagine it. Some one just finished cheating to win a game, and they're all happy...but wait..what's the ticking noise that sounds like a countdown timer...BOOOM...X-Box goes up in flames. No more cheating...

On a more realistic note, I congratulate Bungie on an amazing game and say "go get those cheating bastards."

What would be a good solution to the modding is that the ones that do it get their X-Box fried. After people find out what is going on the cheating will sooner or later stop. If you agree please respond. Yours truly PCHECKER
