one of my so called mates modded his box and got me to log my account on it.

I found out it was modded AFTER I had logged in... now thanks to that complete A-Hole i've been permenately banned from matchmaking. Despite the fact that i only played a custom game that i quite like after 1 minute.

Thank you bungie.

now perhaps is the time for me to do some research on this free service Xbox Connect thingy i've heard about...

I can't stand the modders at all and it is sad that they have to cheat to win. So I'm glad Bungie's going after them. But to go after someone who plays with a modder is going too far. I mean, I party with certain players a lot, but I don't know if they are a modder or not. You think they're going to admit it to me? I've never seen them cheat, but why ban me if they do? I've reported several people who I've seen do it - but if they do and I don't know!? Ridiculous.

Let's not punish the good guys. All you'll do is pi$$ everyone off and no one will want to play.

This is EXACTLY why 8 yr olds should not play this game. Its why it has an age rating, you are entirely too immature to even open the box!

Oh, and all the retards who write ' Bungie are -blam!-, they never warned us !! ' actually they did, several times, in very strong terms. Just because you either decided to ignore them at the advice of your retarded mates (see above) or couldn't be bothered to find out (even though you obviously know about this site having posted to it you numbnut! ) dont spam this forum with your whining. You cheat. You get banned. Anybody who cant understand this is too stupid for words.


The age rating has got to be the most annoying thing ever. Bungie should be fined for letting the kids play on a MA game.
You folks -blam!-ing and moaning need to stop. They told everyone plenty of times before now about modding/cheating and playing w/ those that do. Get a life now that you've got no xbl account.

Rellik PIR... you should be banned just for your last post, admitting you cheat to gain your levels. what a turd

well what happens if one of your onlne friends has some offensible content on their xbox that you are not aware of. That seems not really fair if you get banned in those circumstances

Well just last night I was partying with one of my lost clan member's and he was using AR,hard mods and all that crap. So what you're saying here is that I won't get bann playing with him or I would. Because it was a sort of mod that wen't to your Box but only for that game.

But he was saying he was already bann from Match Making........... And he was playing a custom game.

Would it affect me and the other 3-4-5 people that were there?

And Bungie? I'm quite new at this messaging. Can you tell me how to get a Display Picture.

Everybody stop asking how to tell if someone is modding. modders jump like 1000 in the air, shoot bullets out of the back of their head, shoot automatic snipers, run fast, and shoot scopion tank shells out of their asses. o and somebody said they tweak little things so the system cant notice. thats impossible. leaving feedback does nothing. the system instantly notices a modder because it reconfigures the standard ms dashboard and they will be banned next time they sign on. but they dont care because they can just get 2 month frees from noobs who want to get non legit levels.

The modder we all know and love to hate should be banned, and so should the people their boosting. None of them deserve the false rank the cheated to get.

But I have seen some modds, never played them, that looked cool. These where true mods. Like the ones you find for the Battlefield series. Such as Desert Combat. These are true modds, modds that don't give anyone an advantage. Modds that improve the game. I guess it would be better to call them Player Created Content, the modds that PC games have. I don't see any problem with these. So long as their not in Ranked games.

I have what should be a simple suggestion. Don't ban the account. What? Heresy, you say. I beg to differ. Instead....











BAN THEIR XBOX!! Use the MAC code, if the Xbox has one, to shut down modders for good. Yay!!!

Is anyone else having trouble following eighty percent of these posts?
Really quick:
They're = they are
Their = belonging to them
there = a place far, far beyond the 4th grade.

its BANNED, not BAND.

Did anybody read the #1 or the follow-up? First of all, the query was only run for matchmaking (not custom games, ie, if you played a modded custom game 3 hours or 3 months ago, it makes little difference, you will not be banned, although you may be banned for future modded games on live)
Secondly, only those teamed with modders over a substantial (more than one) number of games in MATCHMAKING have been banned; temporarily.

For those of you with reading comprehension problems, these are the main points you should have gathered:
1. Playing with modders = bad
2. You will not be banned if you were, by chance or invite, whether you knew it or not, paired with a modder for a few games.

Apparently you missed the first post of Page 2. Achronos is a moderator here. He seems to have better info than you do... so please save the self righteousness for when you're actually right.

Yes, you'll get banned even if you just play with them in customs.

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.

Well CD if you read this messgae I think my friend was ok playing custom game's with modifications but eventually he wound up in a Match Making game and got bann from Match Making there. So if you get your own mods. you might be safe in only custom game's unless you get reported and nailed.




Good luck getting out of that one.

Zack I can answer that question if Frankie doesn't mind, or one of the Bungie workers.

Mods are an illegal download, chip, or a modification to your xbox consol.
There are soft mods and the one that will get you bann in the day that you buy it a Hard mod.
There are different downloads to your chip that you get from the computer.

Oh and I forgot. Action Replay another soft mod that you get downloads from the computer too. But that one won't get you bann.
That's pretty much all I know to that question. Bungie will answer the rest.

I like the fact that bungie is cracking down on modders. I just wish they could some how keep them permantly out of ranked games. My clan and I are getting so sick and tired of the run around from xbox and bungie on their leniency on modders. If they get busted for modding and that is getting feedback directly about that person they should be kicked off of xbox live permantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well for the last week's since the patch I've ran into only legitimate players.

Which is a good thing because I hate getting modded. Since mods I wanted to be a banner eh?

Plus without modders I can actually level instead of deleveling from anti-modding.
But maybe just maybe when XBox 360 come's out I might just mod this old xbox consol and get bann from Match Making. I don't mind It's just fun but illegal.

well I have played with some modders but why do you ban them even if they do hamrless mods like shooting a train out of a rocket. Why do you ban those people. Sure I HATE modders, but within every bad is some good.

P.S.
I do not mod
