i think even though there are going to be new cheats later on, you still have a lot of time for that to happen so get ready for ranked games and every 1 try your best !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to play matchmaking without worrying about modders that think they are the best players in the world. PS: It's not much, but I got a triple kill on three modders while they were zooming around. Modders are not invincible.

Thank you very much Bungie. This has been a long time coming. I can't tell you how hard it has been when encountering these low life cheaters. In my opinion this update will kill two birds with one stone. As i'm sure everyone will agree that the cheaters are also the most abusive lowlifes on live. This means we not only get rid of the cheaters but also a load of the -blam!--talkers. I hope the Waaaambulence service is prepared for the influx of calls their about to receive!!!

I hope you unskilled players enjoyed pretending you were good at Halo 2 by using your -blam!- a$$ mods. If it makes you feel any better, my levels are legit and now you are going to get owned by all of the legit players. Good thing you wasted your time and/or money modding your Xbox so you can be a little -blam!- in matchmaking.

Two points that i have picked up this week. Firstly, there are still some jerks who have read the update and still think they are invincible. Still think that they can cheat to their hearts content. Secondly, there are quite a few people who would benefit by turning off their xboxs and going back to school. I mean really guys, some of the spelling & grammer is awful.

my friend has a softmodded xbox, but in frankies post, he said modified live content, he doesnt mod maps, or anything else. On halo 2 he is legit, and on other games he is legit, no mods anywhere. will he be banned for having softmodded xbox? he likes all the things he can do with it, like change light color, and the skin is way better then the xbox skin.

Some people think that if they never shut off their xbox ever again that they will not have to download the au, is this true?

I'm not even sure if I've played with a cheater. I know its not the easiest thing in the world to aim and shoot at a fast pace, but that the whole point!!! Well, good job Bungie, keep it up. Maybe I'll notice the playing field level out come tomorrow.

hey Frankie, all of the modders that i know say that they have "backed up" mods and bungie can't do anything to them. Is this true , and will there be modding in the future using these "backed up" mods?

Wow, nice... about time too, congratulations on the update Bungie, I bet it was a real hassle for the coders and the live team to put this together, see they love us guys don’t insult them.

Want to hear something funny, I was playing team slayer and this modder was using that horrid speed hack thingy on us but the little idiot got himself stuck in the grating in one of the vents on turf. We just left him there in his cage, unfortunately he got out and started killing us and we lost. :(

Damn illegal modders.

One question I did not see answered and I have never seen answered -- will this AUTO UPDATE fix SUPER JUMPING and take it out completely? It's really an unfair advantage....

bungie is retarded for banning simple things like weaponless or more tanks on maps and other things besides they have allready blocked all of the AR stuff except game types and that makes no sence why they would block that to. If having modified junk on the ar for game types that should be allowed because bungie highly supported halo ce didnt they and isnt halo CE the same thing MODIFIED HALO a.k.a. CUSTOM EDITION???

THERE IS A QUESTION FOR YOU BUNGIE YOU IDIOTS


i have a friend that is a modder thevidkid, and one thing that most non modders do not understand is that action replay is needed to transfer your modded map files to your xbox. Bungie needed to ban action replay totally as well to stop that. Just like they are seeking out alot of the distributors of modded content and shuting them down.

That part of the bungie licence sums up everything, "modify"....and "distribute or use for other purposes either the hardware or software of the Xbox or the Service", are the 2 main points used for this. Now dont think u got me on a point when it states "software of the xbox" guess again. Xbox software is needed to mod, its found within 3 "i will leave unnamed games needed to mod your xbox. For those of you who say bungie has no right, you are sadly mistaken. Bungie is well within its rights.

Well, I was a skilled one in XBL, and my levels were low because of cheaters. My levels would have been like at least 20, if they would not've been reseted when I sometimeswere outta XBL. And my modchip doesn't even work yet. And if it would, I'd never use it on XBL. I don't wanna be a flamer, or any other of those n00bs, so I'll not say, what I think of those, who say all of the modders to be freakin', 'cause not all are. I think only the ones are, who use the mods to just for winning the games on XBL. I'd use them fo' fun.

Hey, that thing, what Bungie said in firerushodst's quote, I haven't got modded xbox yet, so why can't I go to XBL?

The best us genuine players can do if we do encounter any further cheating is to leave them the appropriate negative feedback & report there tag with additional info to bungie asap. Often players do nothing to actually prevent cheating, choosing instead to complain in a post that cheaters simply 'still excist'. If progress is to be made, some form of action needs to be taken by all parties involved.
