Could there be some new anti cheating measures that are going to be implemented during the downtime?

But I will say this to modders, and please, spread the word if you know any. Quit now. Right now. Today. The Banhammer will look like the nicest thing we ever did pretty soon. That is the only warning I am giving, because bluntly, I want the modders to suck it down when it arrives in the night like an angry ninja.


Interesting point!

The Banhammer goes Global? XBL throws down the gauntlet? Cheaters get banned from more than just H2 MatchMaking?

ZOMG, I think that I may have just had a mini-stroke at the very idea.


Not likely Microsoft, isn’t that stupid I hope. If they did that they wouldn’t have to worry about the consequences of modders. They’d unleash something considerably worse, computer savvy individuals would render the XboxLive service inoperable. But you get what you ask for, so you never know.

Bungie better give us some good halo 3 info because of this !

lol, 24 hours isn't long people.

Since you said this, I wont feel bad about going all out an a theory.
Maybe their fix Live so it doesnt crash the next time Bungie decides to release Halo 3 videos, possibly in November. I know its far out there but hey, I'm speculating here.

Get up so I can kill you again!

Hmm, I wonder what MS brings to Xbox Live or Xbox.com now...maybe an anti-cheat thing that some of u mentioned. Or some kind of reward to people who's at the top of leaderboards or something. Or maybe placing out a Splinter Cell DA demo on the Marketplace (I know they don't have to shut down XBL to do so, but it could be a nice gift as for the wait).

Maybe extending the friends list to 150 or 200 ppl? That probably won't happen 'till the fall update of the dashboard I guess. On tuesday it will be more something between XBL and Xbox.com since they're both down I guess.

Oh well...on wednesday we will all know. Hey...maybe a cool Arcade game? Tetris anyone?

If something sweet happens with the banhammer, I will be thrilled. I doubt it, though. It seems like the Xbox Live crew has been somewhat less than helpful when it comes to solving cheating-related problems.

The xbox live downtime in not related to the new punishemnt for cheater. Here is what KP posted at the HBO forums

It will come in the night. You will not know when. You might not even know that it came. Then, suddenly and without warning, the hammer falls.

Chill. It's only 1 day. The only people who are REALLY in trouble because of this are the people who are playing the Phantasy Star Universe beta which ends tomarrow

Why would you care if its down your in a cheating clan you may as well get used to no halo 2 because you are going to get banned if you cheat or play with cheaters.
