Halo 2 a secret weapon against Xbox hackers? |
While I don’t like the idea at all of playing online against people who cheat (it’s one of my big reservations about online game matchups), I can’t fault any XBox owner from upgrading or modding an XBox to make it more useful to him/her. Adding more hard disk space, or runing a Linux OS hardly seems like the type of mod that should get any XBox user in trouble, but it appears that Microsoft may not think this way. 
Microsoft appears to be using its smash “Halo 2″ game as a vehicle to crack down on mod chips and other hacks of its Xbox video game console. Hundreds of Xbox owners have reported in online forums in recent days that they were banned from Xbox Live, Microsoft’s online gaming service, after trying to play “Halo 2″ online with a modified console
It’s all rumour and supposition, nothing concrete here, so please note the question mark in the post title. Again, if mods are being employed to gain advantage to the online game player then I’m all for Microsoft banning them from playing Halo 2, but all other types of mods Microsoft should encourage or at least turn a blind eye to them like TiVo seems to do. What’s the harm in people doing cool things with their XBox? Why doesn’t Microsoft support that type of activity? Or do they? I don’t get this one.
Did this post make you go hmm?

How do they get the mods on their X-Box anyway? I have a freind who mods but he won’t tell me how. All he says is he makes his. Do you know of a website that you would go to to do this? I think that you should be able to mod in custom games but in mathmaking they should just boot the modder. If you know just let me know or watev.
