Hi,

what about the thing using a savegame glitch with MECHASSAULT1, so you can set your PAL-Xbox to NTSC-Output (for enabling HDTV without having to install a modchip).

This has _nothing_ to do with Halo2. I'm wondering if this is also a bannable offense.

I love what you guys are doing for us, but after i downloaded that auto update, i still was victim to cheaters, and so was my friend. Anyway im glad were finally almost able to gain our True rank instead of haveing it ruined by cheaters.

Thanks for your time and dedication, you guys need bigger paychecks.

We all thank you bungie, UIKH2771-CYNICALOREGON-BING9O-WHINEYKIMBERLY

Ok do you guys really think is is going to stop modders? Yes bungie is doing a good job but they cant stop EVERYTHING. There will still be some cheaters and for a few weeks maybe even modders. This AU take awhile to ome into full effect but i dont think it will stop modders all of the way. So i can see it now you guys are saying "thank you bungie so much for stopping the modders" but not to long ago you were saying "bungie ur not doing anything" what will you say when you find out the AU doesnt work so well? The moral of this is there will always be cheaters you will have to deal with it or stop playing. What people will do no wthat they dont have "mods" they will now standby, and i know you all remeber that. So i say just let bungie do thier thing and deal witht he cheaters. Remeber its just a game and i say that to all the legit and cheaters out there.

P.S What about the glitches that dont make the game fun like the sword glitcht hat u fly right past the guy. Or how about when someone has host they have a stronger autoaim. Or my favorite the shotgun, if your host u will kill them far away with 1 shot but if ur not u wont kill them when u are point blank. So im saying halo isnt prefect and it never will be perfect so deal with it!
Have a nice day. =)

So it's almost upon us. The Autoupdate you've been screaming for. The one that takes care of hackers, modders and other flavors of cheat. All the questions you could possibly have are answered in here.END.

TO FRAKIE's MORONIC SELF:

Hey tardmonkey you and your company suck. Learn to make a proper auto update before you start throwing terms around like a "banhammer."

Good God you are immature to represent a company as large as Bungie. Oh well what can I honestly expect from a group of sell outs. Anyways just because I am nice here is the work around for the Auto Update which I figured out in about 10 minutes. I am going to also post this on the modding sites: www.danhrules.co.uk and www.halo2mods.tk in hopes that the cheating will spread so you guys can release a proper AU and maybe stop being a bunch of sorry sell outs.

FTP to the folder with the maps(E:\TDATA\*******64\C$) and make a new folder exactly the same name as the auto update folder except for the second 0, change that 0 to a 7. Now put everything but the default.xbe into the folder you made. Now go to U$ and take the default.xbe from it and put that in the original AU folder and overwrite it.

I modded this new AU in 20 minutes. It's amazing this good eh? lol

I don't even play the game anymore because of how bad cheating has gotten. Anyways if you have any questions as to what I have just said feel free to email me at mc.arab@gmail.com.

Adios.

about the whole rank thing. i think that rank should be invisible to everyone who plays halo. because people use their mods to show off their "Skill" that with no rank showing, no one would strive for a better rank. they would play matchmaking to play matchmaking and get paired with people their own skill. i played a rumble traing game (swords) and got 35 medals and 25 kils. the guy behind me only had 13. here is the game. after that he said that he was better than me because he had a 25 in head to head and like no other ranks. i also recall some one saying that they had a 27 which ment htey were better than me. i got 70 something kills and he got 12. the whole i dea behind online video games is to have fun. not to be trashtalked by people who's parents think that the"M" on halo stand for miniature. i am going to buy a PS3 beacuse the people who play PS2 online are generaly smarter. imean, even on XLink people have to know how to set it up. Yeah i want halo 3 but not after my experience with halo 2.

and if any body thinks they can mod well, go die and get a life. if you need to cheat to play a video game than got should have thought about creating you a little harder.

Ok thats really stupid. I dont mod or cheat and I dont plan to but now your cant even use action replay to change custom game gametypes,thats stupid what will it matter it dosent apply to ranking so it is worthless. So to define modifying in custom games with the new update we basicly cant even create NEW custom game because technically that is modifying the game.

Hey Bungie, if u dont know people are still modding and if u fix that, i have played against a few people that could lag me out of games. I know they are doing it because when i walk by them i hear them talking. "hey lag him out , wats taking so long". I came to a conclusion the only way to stop modding is to get rid of the maps. you probly cant do that because people paid for them. So just remove them from the playlist and try to fix the lagging out problem. Oh one more thing HOST as people call it is garbage. It gives people to much of an advantage . I get shot from the shot gun spawn to the covenant sniper spawn in burial mounds. the shot gun works better with host, the sniper, battle rifle, smg, and you can throw gernades better. you MUST find some way to fix it.
