No. In order to modify Halo 2 you have to void the warranty on your xbox and install 3rd party software in order to either "softmod" or "hardmod" your xbox.

No, any other accounts on your xbox will not receive any bannings unless you sign into live with your Halo 2 modified.

While we here at HBO think the results are pretty cool, this is a Halo site, not an Xbox modding site. We do not provide any information on how to mod your Xbox or how to hack Halo, nor will we in the future. There are plenty of places to get this sort of information, if you're interested - if you can't find them without our help, you probably shouldn't be looking.

For the record: HBO is completely non-profit. More than that, it's non-income-generating at ALL. We accept no advertising, we offer no subscriptions. All of the money to run this website (and it adds up to a significant amount) comes from the pockets of staff members. There isn't a lot left over for stuff like clan sponsorship - sorry.

Yes and no. For the "new" maps (ones from either map update) yes. For the "old" maps (the ones originally on the Halo 2 disk) you can either have Halo 2 on your hard drive or use a disk. However most users prefer to story their game on the hard drive so that they don't have to burn a new disk whenever they want to change something.

No, you will be banned within 6 hours of sign in or if you sign out. It doesn't matter if you go into matchmaking or play any other games, the countdown starts the second you sign in.

Yes and No. You can sign onto Xbox Live with the Halo 2 disc files on your hard drive, but are running off of your disc. HOWEVER, if you launch and are running Halo 2 off of your hard drive (AKA you started the game through the "Games" menu in your dashboard) then you will not be able to get onto Xbox Live and you could possibly cause your entire Xbox to be banned from Xbox Live permanently. The SLR McLaren is the top of the Mercedes [sport] line.. they've spent millions on it.

Halo 2 is the sequel to the 2001 'Game of the Year' multi-million selling Xbox game. Which is widely recognised as one of the greatest First Person Shooters ever made.

No, we are not a fix it shop. We don't fix mods or help people mod because we have a site to run and our own mods and mod teams to work with. Sometimes we do attempt to fix bugs in a file, but we wont spend a lot of time on it. If it's defective, it will simply be deleted and not added to the site.

Yes. You can install one of a plethora of modchip devices. You can do some really crazy things when you start hacking the hardware, as the Xbox is essentially a normal computer. People have upgraded the process and RAM to allow high-def playback, others include LCD and LED lights so you can control the box without a TV.

A In a nutshell, Bungie considers cheating to be the act of manipulating or interfering with aspects of the game or networking to give yourself or your team an unfair advantage. The exact methods and cases will vary as people invent new ways to do bad things. Our team is constantly monitoring the latest exploits and issues and will be reacting as necessary. Common examples of things that will get someone banned from Live play include "standby cheats" (i.e.

Microsoft is keeping all it's cards close to it's chest in this matter, it is completely unknown if we shall see a Windows version or not, a lot of people assume we will, but as of yet nothing is official. We'll let you know if any changes are made.

I said before, no one has discussed at any length how much gamers will be able to mod Halo. What we do know is that there will be a level editor, and that Gearbox "wants to give us controls to the deeper parts of HaloPC." What you heard was probably in reference to Halo for XBox, which was not designed in a manner that allows it to be modded. HaloPC is being designed with modders in mind, so the situation will be different.

IE modding refers to altering/expanding content of an IE based game. These alterations can include items, spells, areas, characters, quests, sounds, rules, kits and more!

A mod chip allows you to run homebrew software, and backups of your games. It enables you to run Linux if you wanted to, you can run emulators, media players, file managers, whatever you can find.

You will need 2 torx screwdriver bits (bit size T-10 & T-20) available from most DIY stores and a 15 watt soldering iron.

No you can't use a mod chip with XBOX live. Microsoft scans your console for changes to the BIOS (that's what a mod chip does) then bans your machine if it finds one. You can turn off all our mod chips and play online, but you have to have the original discs for that and not backups.

Answer: To run this mod just run it from the play games menu of Steam. Once in-game select new game and select from either the high end pc version or the low end pc version. Answer: No problem, go to the options section and change the keys to suit yourself. The keys in Antlion Troopers Deuce default to an arrow keys configuration. Answer: If you are having trouble on a specific section it is more than likely due to you not doing very good on previous sections.

In a nutshell, Bungie considers cheating to be the act of manipulating or interfering with aspects of the game or networking to give yourself or your team an unfair advantage.

Yes and yes. As of September 2003, the projected release date is "Spring 2004", but the most-recent Official Xbox Magazine had a nasty rumor about a possible delay to "Summer 2004". For a glimpse at what Halo 2 may contain, take a look at the PC version of Halo. You want to be able to fly a Banshee around in multiplayer? You got it. You want a flamethrower? No problem. A rocket turret on the Warthog? Check.

The "new" maps (ones that came with the multiplayer map pack and aren't on your Halo 2 disk) are stored on your xbox's hard drive in E:\TDATA\4d530064.

how do u get ozx memory to recognize my usb memory stick. i have a sandisk 256 and ozx say "NO FatX at drive" If your mem stick isn't formatted as FATX, then you need to start up your XBox to Microsoft's dashboard and insert your memstick. THe Dashboard will say the disk has been damaged and has been reformated. BE ADVISED: all of your data previously on your mem stick WILL be gone! I don't know about the 2004 Holiday Bundle, but most of the 2003 Holiday Bundles XBoxes *should* be v1.

HBO will stay HBO - just like myth.bungie.org covers Myth, Myth II, Myth III and marathon.bungie.org covers Marathon, Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity. We'll probably set up filters so that you can view only Halo 2 info, if you want (or Halo info, or Halo PC info) - check the Screenshots section for one way we might handle this.

On February 9, 2006 Microsoft send out a press release that a PC version of Halo 2 was in development. (press release)

Yes. At this time, Halo 2 is going to be exclusive to the Windows Vista operating system. You'll need Vista to play this game. Don't expect it to come out for any other OS anytime soon.

Hmm - a quick run down: Graphically, the game will look better in a higher resolution. There will be new maps exclusive to the PC version of Halo 2. There will be a built-in map editor and modding system. The aiming system has been changed to balance the mouse and keyboard input devices. More later.

Again, Bungie has said nothing yet, but here's hoping they change things. Speech in Halo 2, in my opinion, doesn't work terribly well. Enemies can always hear you within a given radius, even through structures, while the interface requires you to specifically signal that you want to communicate to remote teammates-- and even when you do so, nearby enemies can still overhear you.

Laska chooses all mods and admins, usually out of longtime players who are active, helpful, and older. People who ask never get the job.

Yes you can change the colour of the scrollbar. Go to this scrollbar generator, and try out a few colors, and they'll give you the code to put into your headers. These are a few sites that list some of the most commonly used hexidecimal colours that can be used to change the colours of your forums.
