Good Good, soon all the legitimate players will feal the wrath of HalfEvilHomer, or most probably ill feel the wrath of people on the other team. Look forward to playing against real players, and not those people who i will not mention.

I usually run into atleast two modded games an hour in the early A.M. (cst). This is the first day in weeks where I had zero modders. Maybee coinsadence maybee not. However what I would like to see is a page with banned screen names on it. If I report some one to the alias I would like to know that I am not doing so in vain. If not a page is there any way I can tell if someone I reported has been banned???

I don't know if you actually read these, but...

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,


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.

, and that's why you will be banned from online custom games for modding. It is AGAINST THE LAW. IT'S NOT UP TO BUNGIE. Idiots.

xhuskyx, shut up, you haven't posted one reasonable comment on the thread. My guess is that you know NOTHING about hardware OR modding and you should just leave everyone alone.

Mistaking Mike, same to you. Please at least TRY to use punctuation. I don't care if your English is bad. You're embarrasing yourself.

Would just like to say that so far this update is not worth two cents in my book, dont get me wrong I dont like modders or cheats of any kind, but last night I was playing a game of team slayer with some buds of mine and there was one person obvisouly modding. This knuckle head was like 200' (feet) up in the air and shooting all in sight. I think, but cant prove it, the whole team was cheating, like only two of them had like 1 and 2 kills each and I never saw them, the other guy whom I never saw ended up w/like 14 killls and 2 deaths.
All in all I guess Bungie is working their tails off to fix chit like this but some how there are a few or maybe more bad apples that keep on slipping through the cracks. Like I've said before, you can take the cheater out of the game but you'll never be able to completly take the game, of cheating, out of the cheater. I comend Bungie and all of their efforts and encourge them to keep on working on it. I would like to offer a suggestion: While in a game if you experince someone cheating, REPORT THEM THEN and BOOT THEM and follow that up with an e-mail to the folks at Bungie. I would like to say that with the support of legit players like myself and the countless others out there, we can and will defeat the modders!!!

It finally here. I'm getting pretty sick of modders bragging when they win. I still have played with a modder or two, but it a lot less of modders than I was playing with. Good job Bungie and keep working.

REPORT THEM THEN and BOOT THEM !!!



Didn't know i could boot cheaters.

One other thing I read somewhere a week or so ago. I read that this update wasn't so much to stop modders dead in their track. I read somewhere that the update was more for a more effecient means of tracking modders to ban.

As for who has a life more? Modders or Legit players. We all equally do not have a life because we all post here and play Halo 2...

As for caring about levels. I really dont care about lvl for more that bragging rites. I have never cheated and never intentially quite a game. I dont mind loosing as long as all is fair. Modders only make me mad because there is no sport in it... There is no sport in shooting someone that cant shoot back. Dummy glitch I at least had a chance of winning. Standby I had a chance (however small). Against modders no chance.

It has been said in this post that the only reason that the legitimate players are griping is because they dont know how to mod. This is simply untrue. Alot of people CHOOSE not to mod. For various reasons. I know how to mod I know the sites to go to and I to know how to get around the updates. I simply CHOOSE not to becasue once again I see no sport in beeting a defenseless foe.

I think Bungie is doing a great job. A suggestion would be to take the new maps out of matched play until the issue is a little more resolved. After all you can still catch the modders in custom games

What I want to know is what the banned statistics are. How many people are being banned per day, per week, and so on? How quickly is modding and cheating detected and how soon after it's detected are people banned? The non-cheating community wants to know the results of what we are paying for.

okay maybe i am wrong BUT action replay enhances the game more than it degrades or ruins it in custom games... bungie already ruined matchmaking by releasing the new maps to team slayer, skirmish , ect, ruining so many peoples ranks so alot of people buy this so they can actually have fun with the game instead of playing the same old stufff... and half of the stuff on the action replay menu to donwload is things that you can make without it but without going through the trouble of thinking it up.

Being a rep for XL, I occasionally get to hear about all the wonderful little tricks that people pull on H2.

Unfortunately, I also get to listen to all the mod-monkies whine about how they can't get online. Small price to pay I suppose.

I think the update is a little harsh to the modders, but I am glad there gone.

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.

awhile ago they said that standby was gone but it still happens to me. now after the update im still getting modded. solution for mod: TAKE THE NEW MAPS OUT OF MATCHMAKING. keep those all in team preview. if you people would actually think about what you do this problem wouldnt have ever come up.


i have gotten modded on zanzibar and coagulation and i used to be a modder myself so if the person has a hard mod bungie cant detect them any way. they back up the levels to thier harddrive and mod them thierself so even if bungie thinks they fixed this -blam!- they didnt and you will probably still get modded
