I keep seeing people run around with modded versioned of the Waypoint Security chest piece and the Gamestop MultiThreat chest piece. How come the ban hammer isn’t hitting these people but goes after people who unintentionally do stuff?

The UA/Base Security [W] Chest or more commonly known as the Security Chest ‘Tier 1’/Waypoint Security Chestpiece is indeed trackable by these prerequisites:
-Halo Career Milestone 30
-Yes, Sensei (Earn a ‘First Strike’ Medal in a Halo: Reach Matchmaking Game)
If they are wearing it and do not have the Yes, Sensei Achievement unlocked and/or as a decent Halo GS, it is clearly modded. If you catch this at all, use LIVE’s report features to report them, tampering being the reason.
Now the Preorder Multihtreat Chestplate is harder to prove whether or not it was modded. I had to buy my code from eBay as I didn’t pre-order Reach. Not saying it is impossible to prove however. If you come across a party of 8 for example in BTB Matchmaking together linked up and they all have it equipped, then that can be a red flag; or if you’re invited to a custom game with 15 other people and all other 15 people have it equipped. If you see a person here or there wearing it, that will be harder to determine whether or not they modded to get it.
Edit: if the armor is hacked, the likely reason the banhammer is not picking up on the modding is that these armor pieces are not rank specific, which would be harder to catch. I’m also going to assume that modding the said achievements would also lead to increased odds of being caught and banned by the banhammer, so I have to say based on that, these people may find that it is easier just to give themselves the armor, as the odds of getting caught be the automated systems between Reach and LIVE are much lower. Due to that, to catch these people, a manual report would likely have to be filed so it can be looked into. LIVE Enforcement Team can look into an individual’s download history file to see if they have said file for the Multithreat Chestpiece, as well as the proper achievement and Halo Gamerscore for the Security Chestplate.

I know the requirements but there are people running around with the Horizon modded ones that remove the grenades and grenade belts from the preorder one and the waypoint. That’s how I know they’re modded.
People really pay attention to others’ armor?

when their name plate is see through then yes. I’m constantly seeing matches where the people have a clear nameplate. I’m assuming they hacked it some way.
I never check out armor but if I see someone else with 100% commendations I’ll check their stats to see if it’s legit; more often than not they are all onyx max without the concomitant amount of kills to account for it. I will never understand how glitching this type of thing or full/partial party boosting could impart any sense of satisfaction to the person that would resort to such a tactic.
