The Bungie team is banning people from Halo 2 matchmaking and Bungie.net once we have solid evidence that someone has cheated or engaged in conduct we consider to be grounds for banning. If you are banned by Bungie, it means that we have actual game data that shows you have used a standby exploit, played with hacked or modified content or you collaborated to boost up the leaderboard. If you are found to be guilty of this you will be flagged in our system and a ban will be applied that prevents you from entering into matchmaking on Xbox Live. You will still be able to play custom games but you will not be able to play in any of the matchmaking playlists. You will also be removed from any existing leaderboards and your account will be blacklisted from our website.

If you're banned by the Xbox Live team, it will likely be due to amassing enough negative feedback to warrant some degree of punishment. The Live team has the ability to ban your entire gamertag from ALL of Xbox Live. This means you won't be able to play ANY game on Live, not just Halo 2. The Live team can issue bans that range from 24 hours (first time, minor offenses) to permanent. In addition, they have secondary punishments such as blocking a players ability to use voice chat.

Q

I was just in a game with someone who was shooting rockets out of their sniper rifle and flying around the map in a Warthog. WTF!?
A

You've just been the victim of someone using hacked or modified game files on Live. This is a severe offense and one that we take very seriously. "Hacking" Halo 2 to change the game in any way is forbidden and will get you banned. Luckily we have ways of detecting people who use these files and we are banning them as fast as we can. If you encounter something like this, please report them to h2cheats@microsoft.com.

I appreciate you calling me an idiot. It's nice to know that people base their perception on one question. So here is another idiotic question, since we have established my IQ. What's the point of modding maps? I understand Bungie's concern about cheating, which I support, but playing modded maps for fun is illegal? Then why not ban posts altogether about SoftModding and Hard Modding?
