Send a friend request, and we will play either Head to Head or 2 Vs 2. See what happens, but unlike you I wont whine if I lose (or be upset for that matter)..I'll just say good game and leave.

EDIT: I am talking to the monkey guy.

And anyways monkey, the fact of the matter is that it inconviences the modders- hence making it harder and less likly for them to cheat. If they can just go buy another xbox, well so be it - that one will be banned eventually and they will have to get another (just so you know they cost money, even if its from a pawn shop). As for other accounts, thats true (maybe) they can get another one BUT it will be banned (maybe instantly?) just the same and they will have to get another etc, hence causing the cheaters more trouble then its worth. I say its about time the cheaters are inconvienced, rather then us (lisening to our box to avoid them etc)- and for that I am HAPPY and I give praise to BUNGIE for not just letting it pass and have such a great game go to the skill'less losers.

Well we have yet to see if this is another dissapointment given to us by the bungie team.

I thought that "stand by" was fixed, but after i got stand by'd about ten times just today, I would say that the fix is not that effective.

Somehow i dont think cheating will ever be fixed :(

Enemy of my enemy's enemy is still me enemy. Get it?

I dont hack but it is kind of funny to see a warthog flying and then blowing it out of the sky. Other than that hacking sux and should never return to halo.

Hey, what about people who use slightly modded gametypes in Custom Games? Like turning on the 'Secondary Tank' option? We could get banned for that?!?!?

  • 07.19.2005 9:04 PM PDT

yes you will be banned from any hacked profiles even if it is something as small as that.

im callin the bluff lmao. They still havent stoped standby -blam!- and there is no way to keep modders from stoping what they are doing because its the same way with pc games people will still do it and even if it slows down or stops or whatever people will find somethin' else to complain about. Instead of bungie tryin' to "please every gamertag" just make a new matchmakin' fer mods. wow that was hard. u guys worry like everyone is gonna quit playin but alot of people have already and 360 comin up so guess what they will be back. If u guys would have tried to make this game alot more like the first one and stop tryin' to "balance every weapon" or "please the noobs" we wouldnt have had so many problems in the first place. I'm tired of everyone complainin' about the crap on live and how "-blam!-" halo 2 is, if u don't like it dont play it. Wow people it doesnt take math to figure this stuff out. People complain way to much and they will never make it "perfect" or even close to. people have nothin' better to do than -blam!- so let em i say. just quit tryin to fix everyones problems and tell them to get over it. most people hate hackin' because they cant figure out how to it. I was. But i got over it and everyone else should to because i can tell when the new maps are loadin' because the hardrive makes a noise. my god people if u cant tell the difference between it readin' your disc and loadin' your hardrive freakin' read some forums and learn. All i'm sayin is yes it would be -blam!- if u didnt fix it but u need to worry about makin' more new games instead of tryin' to fix everyones problem.

Dude this game is addictive. Accept it. Its either because its the people you play with or your skill with a certain weapon. Or maby its because they are the greatest halo players on earth or some other reason thats not because they enjoy it. Some people have the strength to quit it. Others dont. They are either the ones who enjoy it or are addicted to it. And there is going to be a lot more people enjoying it now that the hackers are gone.

Do you guys even read the update when you post on here:

Q: What if I am playing ONLY custom games with modded content?


A: You will be banned. We do not discriminate between custom and Matchmade games with regards to modded content. Sorry, but that's the way it is. And don't get all holier than thou – it is in the terms of use that you can't modify our content, and you know you shouldn't be doing it anyway. Here's a couple of examples from the Xbox Live Terms of Use statement:

Unless expressly allowed, you may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software or services obtained from or through Xbox Live.


And this one is a zinger:

Xbox Live may only be accessed with an unmodified, except for Microsoft authorized repairs and upgrades, Xbox video game console. Any attempt to disassemble, decompile, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, modify, further sublicense, distribute or use for other purposes either the hardware or software of the Xbox or the Service, is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your account and/or your ability to access Xbox Live via your Xbox, and the pursuit of other legal remedies by Microsoft. Microsoft may take any legal action it deems appropriate against users who violate Microsoft's systems or network security, and such users may also incur criminal and/or civil liability.

Again, if you want to play in Matchmaking again, delete any and all modded Halo content now for safety, and don't log onto our service with a modified box.


Take note people who think modding should be allowed or a playlist should be made for it, ITS AGAINST T XBOX LIVES TERMS OR USE !!! Ther-for IT WILL NEVER EVER ABSOLUTELY NOT EVER HAPPEN IN A MILLION GAZILLION YEARS!!! EVER!! as well it shouldnt.... if you like the mods and playing with other people with the mods from around the world then go to www.xbconnect.com << they embrace modders there and you can learn new things from them there also.

dude the only reason there were modders is becuz bungie introduced new maps, its not becuz theywernt able to standbye anymore. ppl cannnot cheat in new ways if bungie doesnt introduce anything new.

Dude, the world is corupt. There will allways be someone that -blam!-es about something. As far as hacking goes I dont think anybody will ever hack on halo 2 again. And even if people could Bungie will always come out with an AU that banns them too.

I don't play modded content but I think it's bullcrap what bungie is doing about banning people who play modded content in CUSTOM GAMES. Custom games are meant to be private and fun and anybody that joins them can leave anytime and not be punished by having their rank decreased. I totally agree with banning people who play modded games on matchmaking. Those kind of people should be castrated with a fork while they are tied to a pole in the middle of winter. I happen to know some pretty cool guys that play modded content on CUSTOM GAMES. Notice the capitol letters on CUSTOM GAMES. My friends admit that they have never played in matchmaking but I don't know if I can trust them. I've never played with them in matchmaking. Besides what if you have a friend who doesn't even live near you and you want to play a fun modded game. "Hey buddy I'll be there in about 12 hours to play. Think you can wait that long or should I send you some crack so you can stay up?" Geez. Bungie should have thought this thing through before applying the rules to CUSTOM GAMES. I know I'm probably just rambling right now. I know I'll probably get flamed for this post or get banned but I really don't care because I have the right to free speech.
