Thank you very much. This has been long awaited. Let the cheaters fall.

Also thanks for all of the funny commentary on the weekly updates. I enjoy reading them. Keep up the good work to all at Bungie!

It's great to get the cheaters taken care of, thanks for all your hard work and continued support.

To be honest though, I'm pretty disappointed that we didn't get to see mister chief this week. Any chance we could see him as a ninja turtle? (donatello was my favorite)

The autoupdate is going to be awesome. I have worked so hard against good players and cheaters to earn my 25 level. I do have one question. If a cheater gets banned, then what stops them from making a new account? They would right back on cheating again.

they may make a new account, but the update will take their precious little hard drive and make it a limp, useless piece of the modders meaningless existence

nothing will stop them dude thats what ive been sayin and more hacks and loopholes are comin' u guys dont get it because most of you dont play pc games. its the same as soon as there is a patch, it means its a delay for hacks thats all.

If you were in games with modders on your team, will your ranks be reset like the actual modders?

I understand what your sayin FAT,
There are always way of getting around anything.
I for 1 do play PC games and know that it only takes a few days ( if that) to come up with a new mod, cheat etc........
Because there ar epeople working on them before these updates even come out.
you can belive that there are people right now waiting for the update to come out just so they can exploit it.
It will allways be that way because the people playing the games are smarter then the ones making them

I know ive said it once, but all say it again. Bungie doesnt need any Noobish modders under their belt. Reason is because modders have no skill what so ever and they rely on mods to win. this is a message to all the noobish -blam!-s out there know as modders. "WE WIN, YOU -blam!-S GOT PWNED LIKE A BUNCH OF NOOBS, wait a minute, THEY ARE -blam!-ISH NOOBS THAT SUCK NUTS."
Your not welcome to halo 2 any longer. so you can be a bunch of noobs and F off.

its cool that all of te hardcore modders that can pull a rocket through a sniper are going down but am i the only one who disagrees about this costom game -blam!-?! why is it that big of a deal that u start a game without weapons or something? cause if they ban my friend because he has "the GULCH war" game (game where there is 2 wraiths and 2 tanks) on his system i am going to pull the internet cable. its pretty -blam!- that we cant play those fun modded games! its fricken costom games!!! they are there so we can play stpid games with out it counting!!!
by the way i think bungie already went to far! it is a stupid game that we play when we are board! by the way if you are on the leader boards get a fricken' life, you are 30 years old and u still live with your mom!


Thank you for that most valued input...not. Using any modded files from halo2 is in violation of an endless number of agreements with Microsoft and with Bungie. Halo2 is not an open source game fool. Be glad they're not arresting and jailing modders.

As for your second piece of most profound input, Halo is one of the few games where you can continue to increase your skill level through experience. The rank ideally should be a good indication of that experience and skill. People with a very low level always whine about how the rank doesn't mean anything...care to test that hypothesis against a legitimate 30? I've heard so many people accuse me of not having a life after they take a severe ass-beating...come up with something new for bungi3's sake!

Well, unfortunatelly I Just talked to some modders on Xbox connect and they said that they are still playing and cheating.

Thanks bungie for once again getting everyones hopes up, only to be dashed away within minutes of downloading the update.

Maybe next time, like when you give a release date for halo 3, people will not only belive you, but will wait for a very looooong time afterwards to buy the game just to make sure these bugs are fixed beofre putting it in there xbox.

Amen. I've been in at leas 20 games with modders, hackers, and cheaters in the last couple of days alone. Praise the Lord, and cheaters beware, I'm coming for you low down a**es

When I had XBL, I were in at least 96% of my games with modders, and in almost all games, there was one guy at least, who used something, that made his/her enemies lag. Once there was a modder on my team (only once), and the enemies died by just 5 to 10 SMG shots. (that, almost always happened to me)

Wow I go play rumble preview after I get the update feeling all warm inside thinking that the modding problem is gone, but when I get in the game I realize that nothing has changed I get modded after the auto update then I go play slayer and guess what I get modded again. Its ridiculous why people are going out of the way to be rebelious toward bungie cause they said they were gonna fix the problem. All I can do now is hope that modding will cease becasue even with the update it hasn't.

I think it's great you are releasing a patch but there are always going to be modders on live"atleast thats what i think" and it's also kind crappy that we cant use action replay. Whats the deal with that?

most of these so called modders arent modders in the 1st place, just script kiddies who take whats already been done an packaged for them with a neat lil nfo on how to mod it up, then they post here about how "it wont last, a new one will be found" well keep looking, just because someone gave you a link to a site with a .rar for you to ftp to your box doesnt make you a modder. it does make you lame to keep waiting for someone to keep working at that which keeps working against you and your breed.

Don't say me noob, when I get that modchip working. Some can say this is easy, but for some, it seems to be realllyhard; I go LVL 15 against a whole group of modders, and played through a single player campaign on Legendary, Normal and Heroic, but Easy was too hard, because I could never have enough patience to play on it...lol. No challenge on H2's Easy mode.
