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.

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

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.

Maybe. There is a chance you will. But thats why? we recommend getting a second account or using free trials. Plus, even if you get banned you can still have fun in custom games.

If your Xbox has never been on Xbox Live and you sign up AFTER you upgrade the hard drive then you are safe. For more information read about the marriage theory.

A Players who find their gamertags banned from Xbox Live have wound up in that situation due to violations of the Xbox Live Terms of Use.

You can play on Live with a modded Xbox, but you have to be extremely careful not to trigger one of Microsoft's bans. As soon as you've gone on Live, Microsoft records two numbers, your EEPROM id and your Hard drive serial number. If any of those change afterwards, they'll know you've modded your Xbox and ban you good. Therefore, if you're planning on upgrading your hard drive, then don't go on Live until after you've performed the mod.

A The Bungie team is banning people from Halo 2 matchmaking and Bungie.net once we have solid evidence that someone has cheated or engaged in conduct we consider to be grounds for banning. If you are banned by Bungie, it means that we have actual game data that shows you have used a standby exploit, played with hacked or modified content or you collaborated to boost up the leaderboard.

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.

No currently you can not, at least not without swapping the chips over or flicking a switch that came with your mod.

It all depends on the size of your hard drive. An xbox has a either a 10Gig or an 8Gig drive as standard allowing about 4.5Gig - 7 Gig of free space. Games can vary between .4Gig and 5Gig+ in size. Most gamers fit 0-3 games on a 10Gig drive. If you up the size of your hard drive to an 120Gig drive for example you will fit more like 50+ Games.

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.

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.
