Anyone Else Go Online With Halo2 Only To Get Banne
« on: November 09, 2004, 05:01:00 PM »

I am using an xbox with a xecuter2 bios and I played my retail copy of halo2 on my xbox in stealth mode last night, and everything was fine.  I try to play it today and it says my system is modified, so I can't go online with it now.  Anyone else getting this?  Did bungie slip something in there??  <

Looks like they finally did it, word is MS is now checking to see if you're using a bigger hard drive on Live.  I'm seriously pissed off.  <

Has anyone tried actually swapping in their old hd freshly formatted and restored to its original splendor, or are we officially banned?  <

Has anybody here cleared out all the homebrew apps and unsigned files from their C and E partitions to another partition such as F, make evox boot from F so that C and E look exactly like they were originally on a retail box, hopefully this will work. This is what I'm doing before going on live.

Has anybody here upgraded to another larger HD from their previous one, this will also get you banned.

How many people haven't been banned?  <

Look at the Sticky threads in this section. Shanafan posted a nice summary of what is going on.

yea i tried to go online with halo 2, said it couldnt connect, went to network troubleshooter and it said i had modified hardware...

modchip off (xenium ice), 120gb hd, and yea my c partition probably had a few extra files on it if that helps...

i would kick every M$ employee right in the face

Same story for me. I'm 110% sure I booted the original retail bios, b/c the only other bios i use is the Xecuter2 4981 live blocking bios.  I waited in line for 3 hours to get Halo 2, and now I can't even play it online!
