Ok everyone. Because I hate bungie for being retarded ill tell you all. I was going to tell you how but I dont want everyone getting a 30 it would make me less cool. If i am not host i can make it so both me and the standbyers that i did it two so far get points for winning. If bungie can't deffend me from the standbyers I feel no regrets from doing this. I hurt no one I just dont lose out. I have been stanbyed 50+ times on a single account. This way when i get host i can -blam!- the dumb stanbyers legit since I dont standby considering my modem is in another room. Bungie can not detect the standbyers or network bridgers FACT they are deffence less. If there system can detect it plz post the names of a few you detected. They maybe able to detect standbyers if they do it to much iv heard. Everything bungie does is half assed PLZ CORRECT ME. Every cheat there ever was still exists just not as common. Modders can keep going as long as they dont log off as far as i know. O ya you need to fire one of the 2 guys that controls banning because he appearantly talked to one of my friends and gave me a 1 week ban form XBL because my retarded friend said too and he thought he was kidding when he said who he was. Nothing but more evidence that bungie is -blam!-.

Why can't bungie just ban the modder that is reported? Which if you are playing a game can easily recognize a modder. And not the people playing with him. Also, if a modder is using the 2 mon. trial offer can't xbox or Bungie know what system it is coming from.


From someone hates modders and 8 yr. old kids playing H2, Where are the damm parents!!!

BUNGI ROCKS HARD YOU NEED TO BANED ALL MODDERS IF YOU ASK ME
Posted by: SketchFactor
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.

I have never played a modded game nor been in a MM game with a modder on my side, it has always hurt me, but still i am for modding. Im not saying for matchmaking, that is just plain and simple cheating! I just dont see what the big deal is about modding in custom games, i mean whats a better way of custom games then modding where you can control anything you want!

Why do you respect them They made a crappy game in reality. If i had the Cash i would buy a new one to play with my friends. Name one thing that make this a great game..... online offline would be increadable if it could be done. They give standbyers host or the network bridgers take it by force. They let the Modders run free for Months. YOU CAN DELETE FEED BACK.t is stored on your Xbox and if you know how you can go in a delete it. Standbyers are still running rampant in HtH and DT. There is a new thing where if you don't get host you can make it so you and the other guy get Exp for the hth game. Every 5 or so games a guy lags himself out before the game starts and he and i lvl up??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??Bungie is a -blam!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

I am going to kill someone at bungie.






J/K





Maybe.


I just decided to make your "YOU CAN DELETE FEEDBACK" bit of lie in bold, so that people could recognize it. If there's one thing I hate, it's the stench of lies. So, I came here with the truth.

Some people claim to be able to intercept and delete negative feedback before it's actually counted against them. Surely this is a good ole fashioned internet lie?

There is no way for people to intercept negative feedback, or alter our system. (sigh) Where do people come up with this stuff?

relik PIR, you're right, they are defenceless against standbyers in terms of being able to stop people doing it. There is no way Bungie can sit in your house and stop you pressing the button.

But they CAN detect it. It DOES show up. You WILL get permanently banned. Hundreds already have been. Ever see any posts entitled ' WTF- I was just banned for nothing!.. ' Have a guess why they were banned? Go on, guess.

Anybody who thinks they are 'getting away ' with standby is a complete moron... just like the modders who whine on here about being banned.

Bungie have told people its easy to detect and they WILL be permanently banned for it. The fact that cheating retards decide to ignore them makes me happy as they will get banned that much faster. Good.

Also, to further clarify, this particular query was specifically targeted at MATCHMAKING - not custom games. However, using mods of any sort over Xbox Live is still against the rules and is still grounds for potential permanent suspension. True, our main focus is preventing modders and boosters from ruining matchmade games, but it doesn't mean we're giving permission to do these things in custom games.

The best thing you can do is to not have any modified content on your box and not play with people who do.


Actually, I did read it.
Were those playing modded custom games banned? no
Will you be banned in the future for modded custom games? Yes

Re-read my post, tard.

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.

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

Posted by: Elite Shadow X
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.

After reading the news it made me think, what if Matchmaking randomly puts you into a group that mods, wouldn't that be unfair for the person that doesn't mod get bans just because Matchmaking puts you into a bad group?

NOTE: But reading the news. Atleast I know that bungie is taking care of those cheaters in Live.


No. Read the article to learn that it is only people who played with modders alot.

ok. Here is my story since I you don't seem to pay attention to the dozen times I said I dont cheat. For the love of God I can't even superbounce on asension very well. I have Dsl modem with no button on it and its in another room a good 60feet too and from. so I cant pull the cord either. On a account I had a while ago I went to a friends house and played with it on his soft modded Xbox. Modding is super cool. but I declined him offer to do it to mine. He has never been banned from feed back even when he modded like a mad man. The bannhammer is the only thing that stopped him. My accout after 3 days of playing on a modded Xbox didnt get a simple suspention. After Week of him playing nothing ever happend as long as he deleted his feedback. That hundreds of cheating feedback he got I am sure so why was he never suspended or anything. YOU thing they are just biding there time ahahaahahhahaha. As I said before they did not say till after they suspended a bunch of people that is was wrong to go in CUSTOM MODDED GAMES just that tag alongs in matchmaking is wrong no dbout. If you have mods in a custom game the hammer will get you since there system can't tell the difference. He was using the same thing you use to soft mod to delete feed back. If they can detect standbyers why are there 3 I know personaly stanby on the 1st page of HtH( I was a stepping stone to them. With my 29 legit hth rank. God you newbies. I am so mad because I see no such thing as them detecting it. Hundreds HAHAHAAHAHAHAH it should be Thousands dumb ass.

Okay, Great!! I hate modders but I was just checking the leaderboards and (I know this may not be the place to report this but...) it is soooo very obvious that the #2 ranked clan in minor clanmatch is not quite playing fairly. They have played a whopping 150 some odd games, have only been playing since the 16th of August and are ranked a 49. Hmmmmm.... Not to mention, their clan name is "we mod so what" (in various caps and lowers). Might be worth checking into. If I posted this in the wrong place, sorry. I don't post messages very often.

Anyhow, Thanks Bungie!! It has been a lot more enjoyable to play since the new update.

What if we get thrown into a match with modded "boosters" and we don't know it? Is there a list of known modders somewhere that I can use to protect myself from a potentially unjust ban?

HAHAHAAHAHAH If bungie can detect stanbyers and feedback worked on modders why did both last so long and one is common still in games with few people to leave feedback.

Why did it take 2 weeks for them to at least blacklist a few people from the HtH leaderboards hu? Come on anwser me you dumb newbie. You can't talk to me. Your stuck where you are because your crappy. Iam suck where i am because of cheaters. If feedback works why is there a 49 clan called "so i mod" or whatever it was hu you newbie. feedback and the banhammer are useless unless they log out to the best of my knowledge.

Mod are not' illegal'. It's a breach of the Terms of Service (ToS) but it won't get you put in jail.

As for relliK PIR, he should be banned for his conduct not to mention his cheating.

Ok bungie do it right this time though. Last time you said it was taken care of and once I passed level 31 i got modded on every match.
youve pissed off a lot of people by playing god
If you cant take care of modders and standbyers in the end, at least make a type of matchmaking for banned people
People are modding cause they get modded on, thats what happen to me.

And 1 other thing are you going to make an update for the old maps cause cause a child could figure out how to get passed it and dont say its impossible cause its not impossible to get past your update file either (NETWORK BRIDGERS FOUND OUT YOU HAVE MULTIPLE LINES GOING INTO THE XBOX AND THEY ALL CANT ALL BE BLOCKED OR LAGGED OUT LIKE YOU DO TO PEOPLE IN A MATCHMADE GAME

SO PLEASE FIX IT COMPLETLY CAUSE ITS NOT FAIR TO GET BANNED WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE USING RANDOM KEY GENERATORS FOR MULTIPLE 2 MONTH FREE TRIALS AND WE KEEP GETTING MODDED ON
