As you may know Bungie is really cracking down on XBL cheating on its game Halo 2, because sooooooo many people are complaing about the cheating problem. The people that are being banned are people who mod and know that they have a chance of getting banned, by non-modders. But the people who are rating them out are MODDERS. Why? Why do fellow modders rat on other modders? Do they think by doing this Bungie will avoid them if they keep rating out other people. It doesn't matter if you only put in another warthog in blood gulch with sparkedit or you hack the crap out of it. You are still a modder and the people who cheat on XBL are modders too. Its BS that Mod sites like HALOMODS rat out people and other web sites when they are basicly doing the same thing. Instead of getting people banned we should fine ways around Bungie's auto updates and crap. Bungie sees us all the same way. Why can't we?
(oh by the way I am NOT a mad modder for getting banned. I have only halo on my hd because its only the stock HD. i can't hack halo 2 but i am a modder and what is happening is BS, and in the end all modders will lose if this keeps up.)
The modders who are getting banned are exploiting Bungies software online to give them an advantage when playing in online/ranked games. Bungie are fine with people modding their software and using the mods offline for enjoyment purposes, they are aware of the mods for Halo and Halo 2 and fully allow people to play with the game files all they want, but when you bring these mods online and use them, you are bringing a clear disadvantage to the other players on live who all paid for the game and service and deserve to have the most fun and balanced play that is possible. Would you honestly play a game all day where you know your going to get beat in every game?
The modders at HaloMods are exploiting Bungies software, but they are in no way supporting these exploits online and bringing them into ranked games at a disadvantage to other players.

Why? So you can hack maps, play online against non-modded players and get an easy win? Have you no skill or something? The best mod you can get, is to realize that its a god damn game...

No, in the end, all modders who play online with their mods will lose if it keeps up. Modders who share maps with friends through xbconnect and don't use them against other people in ranked games are fine. You could even get away with using the maps in an arranged game with friends, just as long as you don't win/lose the map, the data never gets sent to the server to show up on your stats page. This is just theory from another person, try it if your brave.
Yes, but what i am saying is that modders and mod sites are rating modders out. I am Not saying that its bad for a non-mod xbox players to get someone a modded xbox player banned. They have very right to do it. But what I am saying is that if you mod a xbox and you go through all of the bs that the next guy did to mod his box. Why rat if you know what he had to go through?
Oh and the last line thing, HaloMods is rating sites to Bungie. Go on over to halomods. I know their mods are not really cheap/hacker ones that you find on Xbox Live, but if your a mod site, why rat on other mod sites to bungie. All I am saying is this.
non-modded xbox player gets a modded xbox player banned = Fine
modded xbox player/mod site gets a modded xbox player banned = bad.
