IN halo reach i have all the visor colors and this is sad i know. But in the coding for reach there is a red visor customization option i would like to know why only people with mods can access this. The descripion of the visor is my visor is red yours is blue i am dead and so are you… the visor is 300000000cr so with all of this coding please tell me why dont we have this?
Cut content

> -snip-
More likely than not it is cut content, just like the GRD helmet that was supposed to come with the Defiant Map Pack (But was cut due to time constraints), as well as three chestplate armor variants that were in the Halo: Reach Beta and despite still being in the game code were never added to the main game for unknown reasons.
Also people doing what you described to gain access to what is known as ‘Premium Content’ are violating Live Code of Conduct and Terms of Use. I would recommend you not go down that route, and if you see anybody with said red visor in matchmaking, report them for modding.
I’d love the red visor to be included in the game as much as the next person, but what I would prefer tbh is that all exclusive content to be released to everyone as the game is now 8 years old and I see no benefit to keeping it exclusive anymore. I can think of other games that have done that and I’m all for it after enough time has passed. You don’t have to agree with me but it’s something that may attract a few more players back also if this happened. Sorry to go slightly off topic.

To start, the Eternal Armor Effect (Blue Flames) and Bungie Nameplate is no longer possible as they were a limited time unlock from the Bungie website, and were coded together. Since nameplate capability was never transferred to 343 Industries and was lost from the Bungie website, the Eternal Armor effect linked to the Bungie nameplate, as well as nameplates generally speaking are locked indefinatelty, so Nameplates and the Eternal Armor Effect cannot be unlocked on 343 Industries end. Nothing at this point through legitimate means will make them unlockable again.
As for the preorder bonuses, such as the UA/HUL (Tier 3) Recon Helmet and the Gamestop Preorder Exclusive Multi-threat Chestplate, these were incentives for people to buy the game pre day one (Paying the full retail $60 value in advance, and in some cases specifically at Gamestop) and giving away said bonuses to everybody would be unfair. The same goes for the Legendary Armor Effect (Red Flames) and Elite Officer Armor as they are Legendary Edition Content for people who shelled out the extra money to get it. If it was suddenly given to everybody, it would be unfair to those who paid the extra amount of money to get the content.
As for the Halo Waypoint exclusive armors (The CQB Helmet Variants, The Military Police Helmet Variants, and the Security[W] chestplate, I can agree with having these unlocked for everybody at this point due to the Xbox 360 Halo Waypoint App being glitchy, outdated, and not functioning properly, and since the Halo Channel on the Xbox One doesn’t have any features to unlock these, yes these should be unlocked by default for everybody.
The Three Beta Chestplate Pieces in the files but not the main game would also be nice to have them unlocked for everybody to see in the Armory, but they would have to be earned via rank and cR, which I feel is understandable, same goes with the Red Visor. I also feel the GRD Helmet should also be released as an unlockable item.
Sadly though at this point in the game’s life, it will never happen as 343i’s focus is now on Halo Infinite.

weren’t all 3 beta chest pieces in the final release? just they added some extras to them like the grenade belts from beta security and beta multi thread to the ones we have in the retail release.

They do have additions to them but the three clean variants of just metal plating aren’t readily available as they are locked indefinately. One of them apparently is a variant of the Security[W] Chest without the grenade and grenade belt additions, and another variant the Multithreat Chestplate without the grenade belt, I don’t know what the third variant is.
These would actually be sweet as legitimate ingame unlocks instead as permanently locked ‘premium content’ as the lack of additions sounds nice.

Regardless of whether or not making your visor red goes against the Xbox Code of Conduct, the fact remains that Microsoft will detect those with modded consoles themselves and do what they feel is necessary. Getting someone banned even faster for making a slim strip on their character’s face red when there are those modding to gain competitive advantages is not only a waste of your time but also a sleazy move.

How exactly is that a sleazy move? Let’s use the DMR Concrete and Battle Rifle Blast skins from Halo 4 as examples. They are Premium Content, and there is no legitimate way to obtain them, yet people have modded to get them and run around with them. This is unfair to the majority of the community as they see this; other players running around with them game after game, they know they cannot get it legitimately, and up causes frustration. When people mod to unlock premium content, that is sleazy. It is no different than those who mod to give themselves the red visor, or any of the Beta Reach Chestplates in Reach. It’s like saying “Hey guys, look what I got. You can’t get it at all, but I have it, because I am a proud troll and cheater. Have fun not having what I have.” It’s kind of like a middle finger if you will, and since those people break CoC and ToU doing so, they deserve to be justifiably reported.
Granted, there is an automated banhammer in place, but it is not infallable, as things do slip through, and once people use the report feature, a feature and part of the LIVE services they pay for, a function, which when used to report modders for any reason that would violate CoC which they have done is not sleazy(it is a feature to help maintain the fairness and quality of service in the LIVE community) file reports against the modders, then the reports end up in the Xbox LIVE Enforcement team’s hands and they then can determine what action to take as a response.
Basically people who mod to unlock said premium content that is otherwise unlockable are cheating in a way as they are unlocking content in a way not intended by the developer (It would be different if 343 Industries supported and enabled cheating and they have shown they do not) that is otherwise not possible to obtain, so if you will cheating via modding for personal ingame gain that is not otherwise possible.

It’s sleazy because you intend on getting someone locked out of a multi-hundred dollar device they paid for because they modified that device to make a strip on their character’s face a different color. They’re, statistically, going to be locked out of it regardless if they connect the device to Xbox Live so you get your petty jealousy-induced revenge that way, but because you personally haven’t taken the time to learn how to modify that device you wish to potentially get that person permanently IP banned.
They have something you desire - not something that makes them play better than you - and you don’t like that. You want that red strip and will throw a tantrum if you can’t get it. You just admitted to that on a few occasions.
I’ve never modified a console myself, but that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be allowed to do something that’s ultimately harmless to those above the age of twelve. Report those who use aimbots etc., but don’t cry because someone made the lens on a DMR scope a slightly different color.

When I used to play Halo 4 and see people running around with said premium content, I would leave the game so I wasn’t ‘intentionally playing with others using ill-legit methods’ by Code of Conduct standards. Heck, Community Engineer Cizlin and I even found out one of our friends modded to get the BR Blast and we cut connections with him to prevent a ban on our behalf once we found out. This is why I push the issue, is because to prevent a ban on my behalf via ‘intentionally playing with others using ill-legit methods’, I have to up and go the second we see this in a game, and that is the issue it poses, and really it would be silly that I would have to keep an eye out for a player with a red visor or beta armor just so I can up and go to prevent that.
It’s not about not having it, and I do apologize for the misunderstanding on that. I just feel some players mod to have it to pretty much shove it in other player’s faces and that is a middle finger to me. Yes, I am one of the older Halo Photographers as well, as you can tell by my medals here on Waypoint, and the idea of having more content for screenshot purposes sounds nice, but not if it risks a ban. Personally, I love my blue visors more than any other variant as well. My stats here on Waypoint should show my Spartan with said visor for Halo: Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5:Guardians, unless it’s glitched.
It’s not jealously or about throwing tantrums, just protecting my account, because I don’t want to risk a ban just because some other person modded and I happened to be in a game with them and I didn’t notice their mod. That is why I report when I see this type of stuff. That should be understandable.

And do you have any examples of people being banned from Xbox Live because someone in a matchmaking lobby chose to mod their console? Because your lines about “This is unfair to the majority of the community as they see this; other players running around with them game after game, they know they cannot get it legitimately” etc. really doesn’t make it seem as though you’re just looking out for your account.

Players who have used the Halo: Reach Ultra White Mod, which you can find if you use the search feature through the Halo: Reach ‘Why Did I get Banned?’ thread (Click Meh!). There were several instances where people came here to Waypoint, used that thread (Note this was before 03/01/2018 and we were able to see detailed stats here) to state they were banned unjustifiably; or didn’t know why they were banned and then admitted to using that. Same with a couple of people who admitted modding their self a Bungie Nameplate. These were cosmetic mods and people were banned for them. It’s just better not to risk it at all, and just follow CoC.

I’m not asking for examples of people being banned for modding.
I’m asking for examples of people being banned because they matched up with another player who was modding in matchmaking.

i hope this is a joke,
either way you wont get banned in halo 1-4 since 343 dont care about those games and have an anything goes attitude.
you will get console banned but 343 just ignore modders/cheaters/boosters and glitchers.
You will never get banned for playing with a modder,the only things you will get banned on xbl for is toxic messages and modding on your account.

Infected Lobbies can cause this to happen, and Halo 3 was notorious for this where modders who create lobbies that would unlock obscene amounts of EXP and in some cases automatically unlock achievements or other ingame gains that weren’t earned. There are quite a good amount of examples of that on the official Xbox Forums if you were to look there. The banhammer would sense the change sometimes and issue bans to people in the infected lobbies.

Right from the Xbox LIVE Code of Conduct Page (Click Meh!)
Don’t cheat or tamper. For example, don’t:
- Use unauthorized hardware or software - Exploit game vulnerabilities or glitches - Make unauthorized modifications to your account profile or its contents (e.g., tenure, Avatar, game saves, Gamerscore, achievements) - Intentionally play with someone who is using unauthorized software or methodsSo no, this is not a joke, it’s a part of Code of Conduct. Also as I just mentioned above, Infected Lobbies are good examples of the past where the automated banhammer struck multiple players in it, even those who popped in by accident and had the change done to their game profile from the infected lobby.

I’m not talking about custom lobbies where you have to choose to play with that person.
I’m talking about matchmaking where random players are matched up automatically.

There are examples on the Xbox Forums of that. Cizlin would know of more personal examples that people have brought to him personally due to being a community engineer. If you want a personal example as such, I would recommend reaching out to him.

Also as I just mentioned above, Infected Lobbies are good examples of the past where the automated banhammer struck multiple players in it, even those who popped in by accident and had the change done to their game profile from the infected lobby.
code of conduct is 90% just filler, only 10% will get you banned.
first time i was ever infected was 2008 on cod 5, that acc is still fine a decade later, i challenge you to find the source of that infected lobby thing
