I'm so sick of playing against modders, 'specialy in clan matches, they just ruin all the fun out of the game, guys using auto aim, others using battlerifles that shoot like sniper rifles... it's been better since the X360 launch though, but it's still there, and I think it's sad if you can only win by modding.

Since the banhammer came down hard on people using modified content on Xbox Live, a new trend has emerged - "Boosting" with modders. People are using free trial accounts and using mods to boost their friends or their main accounts as much as they can until they eventually get banned.

Just because our auto-ban system only goes after the actual people who have modified content doesn't mean we don't also know about the people partying with these modders. Yesterday several thousand players were banned, all people who were found to have played a significant number of games with known reported modders.

These bans were temporary - this time. But let this be a warning - if you play with people who have modified content on their box - you're at risk for being banned yourself. Whether the mods are actually being "used" or not, or if you don't intend to boost, if you continue playing with anyone who has modified content you will be flagged.

The best advice - don't party with anyone who has modified content. Period. Let them take the fall.


Ok. That's find and dandy. But why don't you give us back the XP, eh? Sure you ban them, but the damage that has been done is never fixed. Give us back our lost XP...

I dont actually get much time to post in forums as and where around the world. But i do try and read what going on inplaces i like to check out. ie bungie.net

Modding in matchmaking really spoils the whole point of getting ranked on your skill.
Our clan nigh on gave up on the clanmatch matchmaking gametype, because of modding. it just became a joke somewhat to have a go. Im glad bungie does take it seriously and so should other games companies and developers. (smackdown vs raw 2006 anyone...) it ruins the experience the developer wanted us to have and the hardearned deniro we paid for it.

keep it up Bungie!

Thank you Bungie for doing something about the people who hang around the modders!
It is greatly appreciated. I know that I have asked Bungie to look into these people in the past.....thanks again from all of us who just want to play and not sit and watch blue screens or instant death.

Cheating is out of hand. bungie claims they're working on it but they're not. i had not played for 2 weeks and the first game i played i got cheated on. the second game, cheated on, for five and a row. cheating is out of control. get a grip and quit sitting on your asses

It's funny, everyone whines about how they were against some one who modded, but I've NEVER had that problem.

Modders and boosters suck! Play the game fair and earn your wings fair or don't even play at all!

hey, i know that you all hate modders and all that but would it be alright for me to ask about the whole banning process because i heard a rumor that if i log onto halo2 with a xbox live gamertag but do not go into matchmaking i will not get banned. i would really like to know because me and my friends want to make this really cool movie that we have thought up but we live in different parts of the state and can't get together to make it so we would have to do it on live. i personally hate people who mod on matchmaking because it does take all the fun out of it. but i would just like to play around with my friends some in a custom game and then log off when i am done.

this isnt the place to ask this but ok...
THIS RULE IS SET IN STONE....
If at anytime you log on to xboxlive with a modded dashboard you will be banned from matchmaking withing 6 hours or the second you sign off of xbox live, which ever one comes first... so lets say you signed on at noon and started modding at 6 o clock a message will pop up and say ur banned hahaha u stupid hacker <-- not really but thats wut i get from it
and it will sign u off... and from then on when ever u try and play matchmaking it will log u off and tell u that... so yea... just dont mod and you wolnt get baned... simple enouf right?

ok i am a modder and im really hating the fact that all of these players are ragging on ALL modders its really pissin me off !! you need to accept the fact that not all modders are bad.granted any1 who cheats in anyway to make them or their friends o any others higher in any way is just dumb.BUT if you dare keep going on about how custom game modders are bad i may be forced to take my currnet project to the next level (pm if you must know) CUSTOM MODDERS ARE NOT BAD they just wanna have fun, and thats what video games are all about! now some of you must be thinking o yea sitting and spawn killing all yur friends in a custom game doesnt sound like any fun well thats cuz yur dumb its called fun-mods you know flying warthogs etc. NOW! if you can honestly give me a GOOD reason why fun shouldn't be allowed in custom games then i'll give up until then...stop raggin on fun-modders!

-Auron

i will now go find another forum or game to play because i will soon be shut down by "the man" and get banned

p.s. read my sig

why dont they ban IP's rather then specific GT's. That would solve most of cheating.

Yes, it's good to bann those damn cheaters who just ruin the fun of the game, on one of my accounts(PubesInTheDrain) I got banned for no reason what so ever. Don't believe me, well look at my stats and look at my games, i'm legit and I wanna know why I got banned. I didn't play with a modder, standbyer, bridger or anyone in the cheaters club, not even in a custom game. So bungie, tell me how I got banned. My email is kovmaster3000@yahoo.com and my AIM is ShDwRpTr16
