Does anyone else agree that there seems to be a lot of players with mods? It is extremely frustrating playing against these people…Are mods detected & players banned?
Video or it didn’t happen, because I can guarantee you that what you’re claiming (or think) to be “mods” aren’t at all.
I’ve seen probably thousands of these types of posts and only two (2) have been legitimate. The very large majority of the time its either a frustrated player not wanting to take a loss and comes up with an excuse, a misinformed player who thinks some lag is modding or someone not informed of the revenant sniping “glitch” (its not really a glitch).
But to answer your question, yes there are systems in place to prevent modders and to ban them after about an hour if they do manage to get around the patches. Microsoft takes it very seriously and their systems have gotten a lot better over the last few years.
Thank you for your reply…my 10yr old son is the player getting frustrated when one player out of 8 seems to be way ahead of everyone else. I myself don’t have a good enough understanding of it all to know anything about it. I will tell him what you have said and suggest he tries not to get so upset and frustrated!
I have only once in my entire Reach career run into a player who was hacking.
It was a host booter, in an Invasion game on Spire. And it was within a month or two of the game’s release.
The Banhammer keeps Reach clean far as I can tell.
Anyway, sometimes players do substantially better than others. I win several FFA games by more than 10 points. Or I score upwards of 20 points in a Team game (almost 1/2 the total score to win out of 4 players on the team.)
Hacking for Reach is virtually impossible. There are a few very rare, isolated cases extremely occasionally, but most of the time their tampering is caught by Microsoft before their console even hits Matchmaking.

By the by: Halo is rated to be for ages 16 and above. I question your parenting for letting a ten-year-old play a game intended for people six years older.
A good example that I can think of is if someone shoots through the wall and kills you. That’s just your internet having you lag or really bad host.
I ran into several cheaters in H2 and H3, no real modders, not just DDOSers (you know, black screen for 8 min and when you come out its 47-0 in swat or snipes.
That being said, people modded the crap out of those games, my guess is I never played with modders because I didnt play that much. But that being said, there were still many modders.
In halo 3, a kid was about as popular for modding with aimbots and such as some are for spawnkilling in reach BTB. Clips below.
People like this in H3
or this
This guy could unban himself by the way
However, in reach, a game where almost NO ONE has seen real aimbots, mods, and IP spamming in match making, I have had one run in with a real modder. I wish I could link his Bnet for yall, but I can remember his real tag and its against forum rules.
This guy had his GT disguised as one of his allies guests (you heard me right). My buddies and I were spawnkilling in objective and we run into what looks like a normal lobby, but one of the guests has stats (about a 1.05 k/d) so we didnt think it was a modder, we thought it was just a glitch and those were his hosts old stats. However, we heard “flag stolen” about 5 seconds into the game and needless to say we flipped yoink.
That being said, it is nearly impossible to mod reach, take it online, and get away with it. Ive played 65 days of in game time and only once seen a modder, that was promptly banned by the end of the night. I dont know anyone else personally that has seen any mods online in halo reach.
I found some modder once in Team Slayer, the jerk was using an aim bot and doing sniper kills like crazy, needless to say, everyone was angry.

This easily calls for Proof about it. I play in games where my buddies do exponentially better than myself or the rest. Sometimes more than having half the winning score. It’s just a variety of ranged skills in the end.
Also, not to sound condescending but it’s a Teen-Mature Game. I wouldn’t expect your 10 year old to start PWNing like it ain’t no thang.
<mark>This is about all ANY of us of all ages can do.</mark>
@ Reyaweks - Please take the Gamertags/Names out of your previous post. Regardless of the issue, calling out people isn’t looked highly upon. Forum Guidelines are pretty much against it.
It’s fine to discuss the subject but if there’s an issue with a member/player - Report them and leave it to the necessary parties/actions. This is an issue for Microsoft and not a bunch of Forum Members.

the game is rated 17+, meaning its intended for people of the and above the age of 17.
I would let my 10 year old play this. I wouldnt let my 10 year old play L4D or fallout.
And CoD is not allowed in my house.
I didn’t say he COULDN’T play it but don’t expect him to be at a fair advantage to older experience “veterans”
I Agree
Typical “someone is better than me so he must be modding/cheating/hacking!”
The only type of “cheating” you’ll probably encounter in Reach are host booters.
As for everything else, I have better chances at being struck by lightning.
what is this nonsense, you guys cant honestly tell me you deal with modders on the daily.

I get drastically killed by ways that just don’t seem possible…but it’s also a video game based off graphics and code so I really don’t dig too deep into it. If I were to go like 0/20 then I’d raise a red flag. I’m not great but I have great/good/bad games. It always varies.

I can honestly say, ive never been killed by mods in reach, I have been beaten by mods once in reach though.
I couldn’t tell if I have. Very possible but I just don’t feel the need to dig that deep. The match is over in X amount of minutes. I avoid who I feel is cheating. Next match…

You’re just facing off better players and the game host might not be the best possible.
I’ll say it again, I have better chances at getting struck by lightning than facing off against a modder in Reach.
