I don't really think it is possible. i've made many enemies but NOTHING has happened or changed to Halo or my PC.

Of course, all they have to do is type CONSOLE: HAXX0RZ (user name here)

No.

So it's not possible then? I was just wondering because my friend keeps getting kicked out of a server when we play Halo for PC multiplayer, I mean it doesn't says that she got kicked or anything like that, just that she'll sort of lost her connection from the server and it will make her quit the server, and it happens often. I have my doubts about someone being able to get into your computer throught Halo but was just hoping if I could get some feedback from someone who knows more about that?
Thanx

No, your friend isnt getting hacked. Her ping is probably just too high and got kicked for that. Either than or she was being annoying and was kicked for that.

But it is possible to hack indirectly through halo. You could get some of the other players IP addresses and go from there, but I wouldnt worry about that. I've never heard of anything like that happeneing, and I dont know why anyone would do that.

Someone who you play Halo PC with can not do anything special to harm your computer, although the host can view your IP adress if they have -console on.

Hacking through Halo is near impossible, I've only heard of it once, and even then with only sketchy details and inconclusive evidence.

I wouldn't worry about it, but if you want to be safe, go grab a firewall and stick it on your computer. ZoneAlarm makes great free firewalls which can be configured to allow Halo access to the internet.
