Subject: "The Octagon" modded?

So my friend challenged me to a 1v1 and loads up a map called "The Octagon." It wasn't using the instant respawn mod, but I'm still paranoid.

Looking at the map in forge it looks fishy, like has objects floating without support and has objects meshing with one another.

I've seen the map used on MLG.com, is it modded? Or just the instant respawn gametype?

I'm asking because I'm paranoid that someone invited me to a modded game and I'll be penalized for it. That and I don't want modded content on my XBOX. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for reading my signature!

Umm your three years late to the geo-merging party.

I appreciate it, how do they get the objects to float/merge without modding?

Also, I'd have to deliberately mod my box to do the instant respawn gametype right? LIke I can't just walk into a custom game and have my box modded right?

They either hold the object in midair and save and quit or they place a object then they stack another object on the object and delete the first object.

The instant respawn gametype is downloadable right here on Bungie.net. You don't have to mod your Xbox 360 to download it.

Why Bungie doesn't remove the modded gametypes, I'll never know, but all I know is that you aren't allowed to have modded maps or gametypes in your File Share and if you do modding online, you'll be banned.

Its very easy to make things float. Make an object put one on top of the other and delete the first one.

OK thanks, but I haven't modded my box inadvertently or anything have I?

plus, if bungie would bring the banhammer down on every single person who played on a modded map, then, if you hadnt played on a modded map yet, would go into matchmaking with about 12 people playing halo 3 matchmaking. thats how many ppl hav been on modded maps.
so ur safe
but im not, because i had a modded gametype or something in my fileshare i think and now im perm banned from fileshare :((((
still working out the details and crap with a friend who works for bungie

Thanks for the feedback, I'm just trying to abide by the rules you know?

  • 08.12.2010 3:29 PM PDT

Lol. Have you heared of Forge?

  • 08.12.2010 3:40 PM PDT

I am the mushroomman.

It's glitching the game, not modding. And it's really easy.

LOL, you can't be punishes unless you upload the modded content to your fileshare. And you know there is a Forge tool right?
