Well actually every game has modders/cheaters to some degree. Halo 2 is by far the most popular game for XboxLive since it's start. So therefore the number of creep-o's that crawl out of the woodwork to cheat goes up as well. I would say that from a ratio standpoint, XboxLive as a whole would be about 15% cheaters, and that for Halo2, that ratio increases to closer to 25-30% cheaters.

Plus with the matchmaking system, which is a great idea, you are constantly matched with randoms. So the chance of encountering a cheater is higher. When I played Mechwarrior a lot, I never encountered many cheaters, because I would play games with the same people over and over. If a dude cheated, you had the choice not to play with him. And without the rankings, people did not have as much incentive to cheat.

you couldnt cheat on halo 1 that I know of. Played it on XBC and never ran into cheaters.

no you couldn't cheat in halo 1, for some reason bungie decided to include checksums for the maps in halo 1, but not 2. With a check sum, the game checks the signature of the two maps that the players were going to play on, if they didn't match, the game would end the match.

you could cheat, you can get glasswalls, but its obvious when they do it and you could kick them.

I was playing Big Team battle today on Terminal and a modder popped up on my team. However he was terrible. He only ended up 23 kills and 8 deaths (for reference I got 23 and 4). Link

If it wasnt for me, it would have been a tied game! Jesus...if a modder is on my team, I want to at least blow out the other team

I don't know but look how many people with the ability(I'm assuming that if you post here you have a modded xbox?)to mod but don't. Why not stop bitchin about it and do something, is there really nooooo way to like countermod or something? Seriously I'll donate 100 bucks to the cause. If it's possible it shouldn't just be handed out to prevent it being used to cheat. I don't know now that I look at what I've written but it that shit would be badasssss.

I'd love to be able to use an anti-mod patch on XBL (for Halo 2), but I don't think it's possible.

It's possible for KAI and XBC, but not XBL.

how could it be impossible to do something if cheaters can cheat, then couldn't you make a cheat that uses the same back door to sabotage the cheaters. i don't know, i wish i knew more about it i'm considering posting over at halomods.

Can you elaborate on what this entails? It'd be awesome to get rid of the scumbags that mod in matchmaking.

Cheers

Yeah please post the info mate. Its good that there are almost NO modders at all in the Aussie room of XKai. They are all great people on that. The only cheaters and stuff from Australia go into the hacking section which is good. Anyway it would be cool to post how to prevent modders and hackers just in case people like myself get these assholes coming on Kai. Thanks mate

hey if you are interested in showing your support for creating hacks to prevent or render modders useless please visit this post and vote or post ***NOT HERE WITH THIS LINK PLEASE*****
Thanks

Just a week or two before the Halo 2 hacking forums were closed down someone posted a W.I.P anti-modding program that would run on Kai and XBC (through your PC) that can detect if anyone in your game was using hacked maps. The program was in it's beta stages and sounded legit. Unfortunately, the forums were closed and I have no clue what happened to the program he was creating.

I don't remember the guys name, but it's the same guy who first released the Auto Aim hack.

I'd love to find out what ever happened to his program and whether it can be adapted to work on Xbox Live through the bridging/firewall crap that people have been using lately. I'm tired of getting cheated on.

I ran into another pair of cheating bastards on XBL last night. Got stuck playing with them twice. The bastards GT's were EmployedWhale and Born Darkness. They sucked ass and the guys on our team (myself included) intentionally lost the games just to piss these guys off.

They got mad because we intentionally lost the games and didn't understand why we didn't want to help them cheat.

D*mn only if you could remember who did it, maybe if you post over at halomods it'll jog somebodies memory, i'd really like to see an antimodding software happen. Just show programmers that there is legitimate interest in this project and maybe something will happen..... I think i'll make a new topic of this.....
