why have i already played against people cheating when the update just came out



I did to


Did you even read the article? It clearly says that people aren't instantly banned from Live - once they log in and are detected as having modified content, they will be ban soon after. So yes, you will still encounter people using mods, but know that it's the last time you'll encounter that particular individual as he/she will then be flagged for banning.

Do you guys send messages of some sort to people who get banned?
I mean, I have no reason too have been banned, but when I tryed signing on this afternoon (after playing several games this morning) I get the troubleshooting error...

The only thing I can think of is if there is an issue with my wireless network, but everything seems to be fine...I just can't connect to xboxlive...


If you've been banned by the Bungie Banhammer, you won't receive a troubleshooting error and it will only apply to Halo 2. It sounds like you are having a different set of problems - potentially caused by the map issue or the downloader issue explained in the article. I suggest contacting Xbox support for additional help.

Yesterday me and my clan members played a few minor clan and the guys in theyre can were like levels 40,37,34, and 33 but they sucked. They were horrible for their levels and we tied them. We could have one but we goofed off. I guess they used to mod because they did not deserved their levels great job bungie.

What happened after they got rid of stand byers , people started using mods. What is going to happen after they get rid of modders, people will find another way to cheat . you'll never stop cheating no matter what you do there will always be a form of cheating. Plus people dont care if they get banned , xbox 360 is coming out in november, which is a short way away. Im sure they can wait till then.

it's kinda fun....i have just became a member of the community but i have always read all the articles that pertained to the "BANHAMMER" and u guys have to realize that there r a lot of modders on XBL and it's going to take some time to complete the purge of them all....no wait...sorry....nothing is perfect, so i hate to say this but modding is just something we all have to deal with....believe me i have lost many ranks to modders but in the end you just have to realize the behind the super modded Xbox is a really scared little kid that can't assimilate into the life we call the world.

P.S. sorry if there is any mispells, haven't typed in a long time, lol

I got a question about modding for Bungie. What if you make modds to basically make new suit colors, deck out zanzibar in awsome look, make new maps that put a new spice, maybe add a extra element to the level to bring more fun about, or even help create new weapons that would be given to all. If we referr this to you so you can put it on your site, is it ok we do it live.
I am in trainning to become a Game Designer as well programer and I was wondering about this. I would like to try to add the Pelican to larger multiplayer maps so when there is 16 player match, then you have a new transportation. New element to the game, capture the base. Pelican can hold up to 4 people in the back, one on the turrent, and one pilot driving.

BEWARE THE JUSTICE OF THE BANHAMMER! LET IT SWING!!

-Although I couldn't do anything about playing against modders, another player and I intentionally played game lists where we were likely to have modders, and personally waged a war against those who modded on our team. It's an odd feeling running up to your enemies and convincing them that you want to lose, however I felt a much greater sense of satisfaction as the odds were evened against the cheaters, and hearing them cry; "Why are you doing that? Stop!!, Youre going to win, whats your problem?"

-THANK YOU BUNGIE!!!! Peace of mind has returned to Halo 2 once more

-to all those a--holes who thought it was funny as they stole rank from legit players, careened about levels at super-speeds, fired entire BR clips (without missing) directly into opponents heads, and skied into the air over and over again; What will you do now that its all on skill and luck? YOU WILL CRY ABOUT IT- just like all the other cheaters blown off of their pedestal.

From: ME

You guyz are awesome! I just wish you were a little quicker. I haven't played H2 with the new update yet , but from the looks of it it seems to be working. Before the update, I tried to play a Team Slayer game with my friends and well...the score was 12 to -162 !!! we lost pretty bad...but i wonder...did we break any records for the most negative killls in a game?!?!? ;)
thanks again

ps. in case your wondering we were modded where the mod was set so that the opposing team (us) would commit suicide if we fired our weapons

They cant get rid of all the modders theres so many on xbox live that it would take months to get them all . They'll never get rid of cheaters.

Hey SketchFactor, does your xbox ever download any content from hosts of games or from other players machines?

I am thinking back to the days of PC halflife multiplayer where it would download what ever content you were missing.

Gooooooo Bungie! U guys rock. I can finally play team slayer without having to worrying about freakin cheaters who have no skill and have to cheat to win. I can finally search for games without having to listen to my xbox to see if it is a new map. I got modded after the update but it was because the cheaters had not turned their xbox off. So goooooood job! I know about six or seven people who mod and every single one of them got banned! It is soooooo awsome. They keep askin me for 2 month free cards but why would i ever give them that. They suck. I hope they quit halo all together. We dont need them. Now i have a friends list and recent players list free of cheaters thanks to u guys! I know someone else will figure out a way to cheat because they have no life and thats all they do because they suck at life. I just hope that when that happens u guys can pass another update that worked as well as this one did. Thanks again!
