You are a bunch of -blam!- -blam!--blam!- -blam!-s bungie I got suspended on two account for playing in a custom game with some one modding. YOU DID NOT WARN US YOU -blam!-S OR TELL US WHAT WE DID. What if we didnt have a comp you perverts and we didnt know better because no one told us you are DUMB ASSSES!!!!


They don't have to warn anyone. You are the idiot for playing with mod's in the first place. If I were in charge I would ban you all. MOD's are illegal period. If you don't understand that then just go back to the hole you crawled out of.

Modding is the coolest thing ever in custom games bungie needs to -blam!- themselves modding is not the problem now network bridgers and standbyers are but you are two busy wacking off to know that. YOU DO NOTHING THERE ARE LVL 40s+in HtH That is not POSSIBLE WITHOUT CHEATING DUMBASSES NO BRAINS BALLS OR DICKS. Wait so how are you wacking off, that is just wrong.

I went in a game where the PP shot force fields where you shot it so you shoot under you and you just keep going up. I even used it to push me though the top of the tuff barrier it was hella cool. Bungie needs to learn to comunicate with the community. WE ARE SMARTER THAN YOU. We would ban standbyers so fast it wouldnt be funny. YOU NEVER GET THE HtH standbyers and they are the werst and you do nothing to help us out DONT LIE you know you do nothing everyone here with skill will call you on that. Newbies have no clue how much it sucks to be good.

I was banned the other day and I couldn’t figure out why and now after reading this post it might have been because I was playing with modders. However, I had no idea I was playing with modders. I don’t think the “banhammer” is very effective because innocent people were banned.

AARRRGGHH!!!!

Every now and then, I play alone and get matched either with or against Modders. Now this is what scares me... I have actually beaten modders before. Can Bungie tell the difference between modders and legit players? Can you guys develop a way to block certain/specific gamertags from joining your games or being in the same matchmaking? I hate it when I play against the SAME modder 3 times. Also I fear that cheaters leave a lot of negative feedback on other players that are legit and positive on thier little modding friends. What do we do about it, how is that being taken care of?

Also:

Something I think would be interesting would be to reset the levels every once and awhile. Just to give a fresh start and help you meet new people. The higher your level, the harder it is to meet new guys.

Wait, I'm confused.
I'm going to get Live soon, but I'm not getting banned by someone else...so here's my question.

I'm playing a team game, and someone else is cheating or using modded content. I know that quitting in games is supposed to lower your rank, and I hate walking out on teammates, so would I get banned for continuing to play?
The whole reason i'm getting live is to play my friend in Halo 2, and if I'm going to be possibly banned because another jackass in the game is modding, I won't even bother with the subscription.

I think the ban has already been lifted search your gammertag and if you can see your rank it has been lifted.

Thanks for dealing with the cheating modders, but, and I don't mean to support something that is obviously wrong... but what's wrong with modding? I mean, cheating mods, yes, I would give any modder an excellent falsetto (don't get it? Go look up "eunuch") but I've seen some real mods and they were pretty cool. Why not allow modding in unranked games or even have a mod-accepting server. If they want to screw with their Xbox, let them. Just don't make us get involved. So, get the modders out of the system, but let's just isolate them like the the lepers they are. By the way, I am not a modder.

I know where you're coming from. I've played two games recently against modders who weren't very good modders. They modded the map so that all of us were affected. For example, we were playing on Warlock, and all the shotguns fired rockets, SMGs did extra dmg (but had half ammo) and I spawned with Overshield a few times. It was fun until the modder told his teammates to quit so he could superjump and one-shot us with BR. Well, he didn't rly "tell" them, more like he "screamed at them at the top his lungs". It was pretty pathetic. But yeah.. it would be cool if mods were allowed in Custom without getting you banned from MM. However, your idea wouldn't really work with how Halo 2 is set up on Live.

Can I get banned for playing custom NON RANKED matches with modders just to mess around?? It seems that Bungie doesn't care as all the modders I know are banned from MM not custom gamez.

You can't get banned from playing Custom games. However, if someone plays custom with modded content, it will be detected and he will be banned from MM. Dunno if that applies to people who play with them in Custom.

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.

Dude whats your beef they gave everyone plenty of time and warnings to get modded content off of thier XBOX's. They didn't even have to do that. Using modded content on Xbox Live, not halo2, is illegal and not tolerated as per the user agreement you had to to accept to in order to play LIVE. No body reads fine print anymore. If you wanna get mad at some one e-mail Microsoft and complain to them. I am sure it will go far, as far as a fart in the wind that is. Get over it, and stop crying like a baby. I would love to see you sit down behind a computer at the Bungie studio and do what they do. Talk about a Noob. You wouldn't know the first thing about what they do. Ha Ha ignorance is bliss, its easy to bash someone when you have no idea what your talking about, just shouting random slurs like the nieghborhood drunk.

People were already warned time after time after time. Stop with the warning and get rid of them. Good god...How many times are you going to keep warning people until they get the picture.Some people are even still using the standby. I dont worry to much about it all because most of it has cleaned up but to keep a handle on it and finish weeding these people out, stop warning and get rid of them.

YESSSS! I couldn't agree more! Just tonight I ran into cheaters three games in a row and one of them was so obvious about it I am positive he didn't even care if he got banned or not. The game even affected me where as I could never fully load my SMG, I got sniped on Warlock and there was a ghost, oh and the guy never took any damage. He moved fast as hell and emptied full BR clips in a split second. These idiots completely -blam!- on what could be a really good gaming experience so It would be best to ban IP addresses or credit cards (hah! thats funny). Someone said they produce fake trial cards....Isn't that a federal offense?? Bungie/M$ or whoever is responsible but you are being WAY too soft on these rich spoiled small -blam!- runts.. Seriously man, some of you kids talkin -blam!- sound like you got another ten years and -blam!- glimpse until your balls drop. Not my fault you get beat up by some black kid in school, I don't care how big and bad you think you are but when you're running down the map faster than a warthog and I assasinate you then do recognize.


Okay I feel better now, ty. ^__^
