Cheats or Advantages on Halo 2 via XBox Live

Hi all,

I don't want to know any cheats in Halo 2, but I would like to know if
it's common for others to use cheats when playing matches online via
XBox Live. I'll admit I'm not the best at Halo 2, but I can hold my
own in other first person games like UT2004 and MoH. When playing
matches on Halo 2 though, either some of these guys are WAY too lucky,
they have some major advantage, or they have cheats. Some head to head
matches I play it's a slaughter, and these guys are doing what often
seems almost impossible moves and shots.

The only advantages I can think of is someone using a 16x9 HDTV
television over the standard 4x3 (if that's even possible) to see more
of the display. Or maybe using the keyboard/mouse adapter instead of
the controller. I'm not sure, but it's obvious some folks have a
leg-up. Or cheating, though I'd hate to assume this.

Like I said, I'm not the best, I'll admit, but it's not like me to get
zero frags... and it's happening way too often. I know i'm better then
that!

Thanks,

Ringo

Cheats are possible with a mod-chip, but you can't use a modded box online
(at least you can't have the chip turned on), so they aren't cheaters,
they're just pros. Trust me, I have seen people do insane stuff, and I found
out it was actually possible, like rocket jumping off a cliff in Coagulation
and boarding my Banshee while I was like half the map away. That one got me
mad

I'd have to agree

I'm piled so much lead into a guy with dual guns
and he kills me with a single pistol

cheats are out there, they have to be

No, there definitely aren't. People have yet to invent a mod chip that you
can play online with. All current mod chips must be turned off, or you're
banned from Xbox Live forever when you go online. As to your example, if he
uses cover right and keeps most of your shots missing, he could even
regenerate shields during the battle and be essentially invulnerable. And a
single pistol kills pretty fast if you get repeated headshots (I think four
shots does it with normal health and damage).

In Response to Rees:

Modchips aren't always for cheating and most of the time
have no effect on the ability to cheat. Modchips usually
enables you to play imports/divx/ etc..really has nothing
to do with cheating.

Cheating is through the use of intentional cheat codes or
accidental game glitches and bugs.

Why does everyone assume Modchips enable cheating?
Remember PS1 modchips? It had nothing to do with cheating,
it enabled to play backed up games on CD-R (which I am
against. I'd rather have two copies of the original game
if one was damaged or I'd return the damaged disc and try
to contact the company for advice.)

With Halo, though, Modchips are the only way to cheat. I know they have many
other uses, but there are some that let you cheat. There are no intentional
cheat codes in Halo 2, and there are no glitches or bugs big enough to count
as cheating in a multiplayer game.
