Could someone brief me on cheating; what is standby and what does it do. What is modding, bridging, boosting etc and what do they do. Cause my router is twating up at the moment and then it does that connecting to session crap and then the game starts again and im the only player. This could not be seen as cheating could it? Cause i sure sa hell dont wanna be banned. Especially from Halo 3.
Just curious and worried. Feedback shall be appriciated.

To the Thread Starter: Fix your modem, crappy hardware can probably get you banned from matchmaking, as it's not fair to the other players.

LMFAO LOL LMFAO OMG LOL ROFLMAO..... i normally criticize people for doing that, but it was hilarious when i first read it. Best. 1 Liner. Ever.

No seriously.

Modding- downloading modifications on your computer then transferring the files to you XBOX, in order to get an advantage nobody else has ( I.E. super speed, infinite ammo, invicibility-with-Elite...)

Bridging- Stealing host and/or lagging others out of the game to boost rank. (can only be acheived with a router or other device that splits your connection)

Boosting can be clean or unclean, ill give you two definitions

Boosting (clean)- helping a lower ranked person get up in the ranks by using your skills to help the lower ranked player.

Boosting(dirty)- joining somebody's matchmaking room knowing he is using illegal mods to win.

I understand Bungie.net is its own entity with its own rules and regualtions however I can also see how someone loggin onto the forums and seeing various threads dealing with cheating might look at some of the terms being used and go "What are they talking about?".


you can send messages to people that work at Bnet. I know its a shock at first that a company that made a game over two years ago will still try to improve the game and actually answer your question in a timly manner. Get used to it this is BUNGIE they are the best of the best, and they keep geting better.

yeah... im not gonna do that. im not quite clear on it either.

1) dont own a router.

2) my computer is stupid, so cant download the files.

you have to be an idiot not to find the site with the mods though.

Edit: Bungie is not the best of the best. get off their sack. I understand the basic rule in math Halo series>all , but get off their nuts. name a game besides halo they made that was great. and ive played them all, their ok, but geez.

I realise that it may sound like i am a worried cheater but im not and the only thing my mucked up modem does is knock me outta the game and probably lower my level. I am just curious as to what people do to cheat, cause i have been in games where the blue screen comes up and when i return i am dead. Is this me being the victom of some wizards crazy cheating spells.

The problem is your horrible connection due to your hardware malfunctions. You need to fix this problem but all that is happening is that you are lagging out and it will not get you banned. But it would be better if you fixed your router.
