Title: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: captain_nintendo on May 24, 2007, 11:32:16 AM Article here (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6171135.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatured&tag=featurednews;title;4)
"Console maker nixes Xbox Live access for systems that it determines have been altered "to try and maintain a fair gaming environment." I hated when people used soft mods to cheat on Halo 2. I also dont want to see Halo 3 or my current favorite "Phantasy Star Universe" get hacked. Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on May 24, 2007, 12:04:27 PM Lame.
Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: phoenix1967 on May 24, 2007, 12:24:59 PM Yeah. I remember when H2 came out with some of the older map packs and people were using hacks and such to exploit them. It took a few patches before being able to see that they were using mods and ban them from the service.
I'm glad to see that Bungie/Microsoft is taking a hard stand against modders. Nothing makes a game less fun than a couple of idiots that don't want to play fair. Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: Tynstar on May 24, 2007, 01:20:42 PM I am glad they did it. Fuck you cheaters!

I thought modding was like [img width=576 height=768]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h247/bimptacular/my360.jpg[/img] Am I wrong? Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: Tynstar on May 24, 2007, 03:31:02 PM If all you change is the case then that is a mod. But a lot of the time people but bigger hard drives in and software that lets people cheat . Those are hackers and ruined Halo 2.
Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: phoenix1967 on May 24, 2007, 03:51:26 PM Yeah. They're using the terminology interchangeably. Their definition of modding is what's considered to be hacking.
I guess the word I'd use to describe the photo Leon put up is "customizing" since it's only changing the appearance of the 360 and not the hardware/software. Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on May 24, 2007, 03:58:34 PM Ah, gotcha.
Yeah, fuck you haXXorZ! Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: Tondog on May 24, 2007, 11:25:06 PM Or mod chips to allow pirated games to be played.
Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: captain_nintendo on May 25, 2007, 07:42:38 AM Damn those pirates and Haxxors!
Title: Re: Microsoft bans modded 360s Post by: Tondog on May 25, 2007, 11:17:51 AM Totally. Damn them all. Damn people wanna rip off the gaming industry.
