If XBC were to ftp into someones box to do a checksum on the cachefiles, it would first, have to have their xboxs ftp address (different for everyone where in halo its always the same) it would then need a username and password, then it would have to scan the cache drives and find the maps, verify that it's scanning the correct maps, check them, then report back.  Furthermore, since you cannot ftp into someones box while running Halo, if they have a trainer on their xbe, or if they load HCE before halo, no one could know.  Because Halo only checks for desyncing with the important things that effect both boxes, (I imagine its for bandwidth reason, as well as not wanting to code it all) it is impossible for one box while in Halo, to check another box for hacks (also in Halo.)  UNLESS, someone were to rewrite the game to check for KNOWN hacks, such as glasswalls, zoom hacks, and glowing characters, or other general differences then cause a desync if this is found, AND BOTH PARTIES had this patch applied to their game.  If one person didn't have it, it would either desync immediately, or do nothing.  Therefore, this hack is unfeasable.  

Of course...  Just a month ago it was unfeasable to browse the web from your xbox.

I imagine Halo 2 will not be so easily hacked actually. The reason things like bitmaps don't cause desyncing is because the programmers got lazy in halo. It would not be hard for them to add checks like this into Halo 2. And I know the people at Bungie are well aware of what we at the scene are doing with the original Halo. If they're smart (which they are) you can bet they are using the scene for ideas about Halo 2.

Ok than I hope they read this:
Please make there be a gun like the new Battle Rifle which requires skill to shoot like the pistol where you can actually have tournaments to see whose better. LOL

O ya and keep it simple, one of the reasons halo is so good is cause its so simple, No doors, not 10 dif weapons u can hold and so on.

LOL, but the thing about GW is most people I have played with them still cant win, or if they do barely on there host. And real good people dont wanna use them cause they dont to mess up there name.

And do yall think bungie really cares that we hack? I mean when they made Halo PC didnt they say they made it so it would be easy to hack?

something that might be more simple would be if xbc would clear your cache befor booting the game.

What about the ppl who want to play modded see you need to think first not to be meen or anyting but yeah that is a good idea but will never work at all. cause i play modded alot and i dont want my cache cleared.

[Mavrox]

so make a backup of your cache befor you play on xbc. and have it so when you join that it copies the same map form the person hosting. to your box then if the intent is to play a modded level every body is on the same playing ground.

[Mavrox]

true i there are some ppl that have a slower connection then others.

I havent read everything, and someone probably posted this, but the patched default.xbe would go out of sync with the normal ones most likely

If you could make an anti-hack patch that worked, then you could most definitely make better hacks online.

[Pillzburydoofus]

It seems like the best way that XBC could integrate this currently, would be to somehow figure out how to connect to the xbox and delete cache files WHILE Halo is on.  And this should be an option for the host to check or uncheck in case they want to play a modded level.  The only problem this would cause is with people who have compressed their modded maps for permanent hacks.  They would have to use a non-modded version (game disc) to load, so that leaves honor system to those with permanent mods.

We got Halo 2 soon lol

I'm not guna bother reading all of the above but I must say I haven't EVER come across a cheater and if I have they must have REALLY been bad, so bad that I didn't notice it lol.

errrrr.......no it wasn't

[jz28]

with xbc's current public stance on modding your xbox, i am 200% positive they will do nothing xbox side to fix any cheating problems.

[Tidusblitz111]

Am I under the wrong impression, I was hacking my b.g. cache yesterday... come to find out I could not use hacks(A.R. shooting sniper rounds, jumping higher, etc...)

I heard you have to be the host to use hacks....Is this true...(i am doing a search on the forums now...)

[jaysoccer7c]

what do uy mean u could not use them?online?
to play a true modded game online, every xbox has to have the same mods on not jus the host

if u think u can shoot sniper shots on an ar and cheat w/ that online it aint happenin
