I dont know how long this has been going on. I just started playing optimatch again and ran into a bunch of modders....

I was modded last night twice too, one was in the high 20's and the other was level 32.
The bastard was in my team on one of the games, I quit straight away.

I read on Bungie.net news that they've banned over 50,000 accounts though, maybe they've found a way around the ban hammer

The problem was never fixed. Bungie just used scare tactics and an "auto update" that was rather useless to keep people from modding.

They now realize that bungie was bluffing and people are starting to cheat again because they know Bungie can't do anything about it.

happened to me this weekend as well. we almost beat one of the guys on team skirmish, which is pretty bad.
other time it was on turf and there was this big greeen alien ship outside which i had never seen before. not sure if that was part of the mod or not but the guy "Flew" me up there in the jeep, so that was cool. still reported him for cheating anyway. I think he was a level 42.

I feel for you all. I play an average of 3 hours a day, weekends sometimes as many as 8, and I have never been in a game with modders. Lucky I guess, but from my perspective the auto detection system that bungie has is doing its job.

What auto detection? I've been leaving in-game feedback for the cheaters, emailing h2cheats@M i c r o s o f t.com, and been monitoring the cheater's gamertags to see when they will finally be banned, but out of the 15 people I'm currently monitoring... only 2 guys have been banned.

Their auto detection is a lie. They were just spewing banning threats to prevent people from trying to mod. I'm only a level 29 now because of the cheaters.

modders are here becuase bungie lied about the auto update and are just banning people as they go on the leader boards (they still have them).

i wouldnt trust bungie with a crayon. they would probally say it last forever. but then someone would realize that it has absolutly no protection what-so-ever.

bungie based its anti-cheat on security-through-obscurity.

Ohh come on guys listen to what your saying. Why would Bungie lie? Have you not seen the drop of modders on XBlive? Of course there are still a few dickheads on Live but Bungie are trying their hardest to stop modding. I would like to see you guys try and filter out ALL of the modders from Halo 2. You guys just do not appreciate what they are doing for YOU and everyone else on Live. THEY want to make it better and they have been. They have banned a SHIT load of accounts to make Live better. If they had more people working around the clock to sift through the modders and legit players on Live then it would be cleaned up much faster.

I agree its not as bad as it used to be, the old standby was just ridiculous.. but it's still there..
I find what works best for me because I have an old xbox is listen to see if its a new map being loaded in the pregame lobby and if so just back out.. repeat until its an old map, chances are vastly reduced of being modded..

If you have and old box give that a go.. if not? I dunno, anyone else have any tactics to thrwat this crap?

I play often but haven't seen a modder in a while. Only going to run into that problem more if you are playing to rank up and not have fun. Go to a training game. Never got modded there one time.

franchiseplayer · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2005, 03:40:00 AM »

They cant stop modders, they can just ban them if they use the modded files shortly after. I went back on it two weeks ago and haven't had one single modder since.

i got modded this weekend too, well actually both teams had a modder.. basterds, that takes the fun out of the game..
(weird how everyone was exited for halo 2 to be released, but once it was n everybody started playing on live,they realized the game was buggy as hell. Hope bungie takes their time on halo 3...actually halo 2 its the only game i know of that has alot of problems on Live[cheaters,glitches,etc]..lol)
