ok modders are bad in MM but there cool to play with in custom games just setting around doing weird -blam!-. Modders and the poeple they play with should only be banned if they play in ranked MM games not custom and unranked games. A question, does glitching count as a mod the way bungie finds and bans modders. i'm not a modder by the way i just think there fun to play with in custom games.

I am all for the ban of modds and their tag alongs. no need to improve perfection. but i have a question. i dont know if it has been already addressed and if it has, sorry for the repeat.

how do i know if someone in my party is a modder? what if im just playing with people and i think we keep on winning cause i pwnd? it is not my fault they are modd cheating bastards. how would i go about proving my ignorance?

P.S. this is a 'what-if'. I am not banned and havent really played a game where i have seen actual modding. ( yes, im new to LIVE )

Edit- On a side note.... the moderators of these forums are modds too! they moddified my sig so that is doesnt say '-blam!-'. why not meester mod? it is just a female dog, and that is the actually name the artist used for the song. I know that if i was a hunter that would be the word i would say when i smack someone.

Whats the point playing with modders? Its as if they take control of the game and there is nothing you can do by expelling them from that game. It woud be nice to have a feature in the game to dump them during game play and to report them so some one could track them right away!

Wouldn't it be easier to prevent modders from entering match made games in the first place? Modders in match making are cheaters. In custom games, I choose who I play with/against so I have a way out and I can do my own policing. In Match Making, the system chooses that for me. In itself, that is fine but when Bungie has the ability to detect a modder before it assigns it to one of my games, then I consider Bungie is failing me as a gamer. I don't mind modders, it's cheaters I can't accept. When I choose optimatch and you give me a modder, that's not what I bought, is it?

On top of that, after the game, I shouldn't have to report a gamer for being a modder. Halo2 should do that for me and take actions straight away by banning their Halo2 account on he spot. If it takes 2 days (or however long) for a modder to be banned after I report them, then it's 2 days (or however long) of fun had by the modder at everyone else's expense. That's not on.

I think Bungie is doing a lot but I think they are taking too soft an approach. I did not pay to have my online experiences ruined by cheaters, I don't want to play with them, I don't want to play against them and they probably don't like me anyway so why let them interact with me in the first place? The only thing that happens is I have a rant at them and they tell me that I smell and other niceties. Then I have to report them.

Own up to your customers Bungie, properly.

If Bungie has a code of conduct that they themselves can't enforce, why have it. What if everyone who wanted to play an honest, but cannot, due to bungie's failure to enforce the rules, asked for a refund off their live accounts. Maybe we can get some results then???

Its awesome that Bungie is putting all this effort forth, but what about all the other types of cheating (de-levelers not included because that is not 'technically' cheating, just pathetic). I can't count the number of times I've been handed a loss because some a**hole thinks its a great idea to stand-by. I have actually dropped from a 22 ranking in big team battle that was 3/4 of the way to 23, down to an 18 (which I now have back to 21, but I just lost a game so it'll be right back down to 20 soon) because of people like this. Even when you're on their team, any cheater's team, it takes all the fun out of the game. Sure, I'd like to get my ranking up just like most other people that play, but I primarily play because its fun.

I also have a question. Are the bans people are now getting for "playing a significant number of games with known reported modders" going out to only people who partied were partied with them, or could someone receive that ban if they happened to be put in a game with the known modder quite a few times? I ask this because as far as I can tell the matchmaking service for Halo 2 controls who you end up playing a game with. I would like to know whether or not matchmaking controls who you end up playing with (assuming you are the only member of your party) because if it does then it would be unreasonable to ban a player because they ended up playing with that modder multiple times. I'm not inferring that this can/does/will happen, but I am curious (which is why I asked).

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

Ya well what about the people who dont know that there team had a moder till it is the middle of the match and then they quit and also the banning system is messed up i think just taken there acount away is not enough on the actual modder it should be if yo mod once it is 2 weeks do it again a mounth 3 times and that acount is blocked 4ever.

P.S = this message is about as if u didn't party u were just thrown in.

Hi, playing with Modders is bad. Its bad if you are following a rigid scoring system such as the level system that bungie has introduced and by which other games have done as well (Albeit those games make more sense with their ranking system and have done it more successfully).

But even these games, with their superior ranking systems have also included (though they don't broadcast this) those little shady alley ways where modders can play. Most gamers with common sense (read tag line) know that by entering these "red light" districts they are inviting themselves to the excitement and danger of wandering down these shady avenues.

I enjoy Halo 2. I like playing it. However the game does have its limitations (which are many) and was a huge disapointment when I first purchased it. It was a disapointment in the mediocre standard to which Bungie had set for itself. Even after watching the "behind the scenes" footage I simply shook my head and decided that the project had been mismanaged and there wasn't a clear designation in place which is why there were many set backs in production.

So you give us this.. a revisited Halo 1 with a couple of different elements. Big whoop. Now with online play, you are getting upset that people are bored of your standard of multiplayer gaming. That is not their problem. That is your problem. Where as some of these modder are complete jerk offs others are of course just making it a fun experience for themselves and others. Another poster mentioned that Doom 1 and 2 are still being played, and yes they are.

Becuase ID software has been liberal with their players in understanding that gamers make their business fun and profiteable. Unfortunately for Bungie and Halo Team, it seems that the more that I learn about you and your operation the more I don't like you. I feel that other players are beginning to feel the same way.

Now continue with your witch hunt and be on your merry way Bungie, before long you will find that your loyal crowd of "733t N00b2" with the mentallity of 12 year old "yes men" are all you have, and the rest of us, who do only look at these things as just a game, will have moved onto greener pastures.

A Friendly Business Warning,
Me.

you know there is alot of people and alot of modding sites working on how to taked down the banhammer andare testing..there are already some modders that dont get banned unles they are given alot of cheating feed back like standbyers but what if noobs think,"well banhammer wil ban them any way so just dont waste time to leave feed back" ...and the modder still keeps on modding. many efforts are being made to find a way for modders not to get banned even people that dont mod want to get boosted without using theyr twomonth producer and texting them to the modder, instead they will just go to sleep while frustations are being made with modder - TC

I think that Bungie should focus a little more on Standbyers. They are the most annoying of all. They mess with your conection and I hate it. To solve the problem of boosters: The most common question people on XBL ask when they first meet a modder is "Will you mod me up". Usually they want to be modded up in team slayer since that one shows up the most. Well it's actually quite simple to solve this problem. Maybe instead of calling it "Team Slayer" you should call it just "Slayer". Basically what I am saying is get rid of the teams in ranked games. Also that would be more accurate ranking since it will focus more on the individual skill.

...Just a thought.

You guys -blam!-ed on and on about this! Come on yes, we all know that modding is wrong and yada yada yada but your ranting is obviously not going to make bungie go " hey, you know what I feel like doing today? I feel like wasting all my free time in and after work to try and stop cheating because I see this guy that posted on here some month ago saying i lost my 22 to to an 18. I gotta doing something about this." You guys are pathatic look for the signs,like a party of 4 and when you have host boxes the party leaves and comes back agian and again. If you're a complete NOOB at this damn game your ready to get your ass owned by some modder/standbyer. Have fun being a total F#ck tard
