Several posters have professed doubt about this image. It was not, to the best of our knowledge, produced in photoshop or edited in any misleading way. The hack in question is achieved, generally speaking, by using a modchip to allow users to connect to their Xbox's hard drives using an ordinary Windows PC, edit the cached map files that Halo 2 (like Halo 1 before it) keeps on the Xbox's hard drive, and then running the game with those edited map caches. In this case, the mod author swapped the model of one weapon, the plasma sword, for another weapon, the plasma rifle, to get around the engine's definition of the sword as a non-dual-wieldable weapon. This is one of the more trivial kinds of hacks that have been performed using Halo or Halo 2 on the Xbox; others have included a pilotable dropship and Pelican and a flying warthog. More information on this and other user modifications to Halo and Halo 2 can be found at http://www.halomods.com

Using a modded Xbox on Xbox Live will get you banned. It's not a good idea.

There is NO way for this to affect anyones game online. First of all, modded XBoxes are banned from XBox Live, for life. Second, even if someone did this, your box would have to have it done to it too. So dont rant and rave about hackers, get over yourselfs and just play.

Do not be too sure. Players are already using similar methods to cheat at PGR2. It is possible to activate a modchip, extract game elements like map cache files, modify them, upload them to the Xbox, deactivate the modchip, and connect to Xbox Live.

Some Xbox owners who have modded their Xboxes by doing other modifications-- such as replacing the hard drive-- are finding themselves banned. But I doubt it is possible now, nor do I believe it will be possible forever-- for Microsoft to detect every single possible method of modifying an Xbox.

Now, Halo 2's networking model has an authoritative server, so I doubt a hack like this would have any effect unless the host was the modified console. In any case, the game would most likely go out of sync in a fairly spectacular way, probably one that could be detected by looking at game statistics. But don't say there is NO way.

Remember, the idiot proof mousetrap only works until they invent a better idiot.

yes it is possible! I was on the internet stocking up on halo 2 mods for my xbox when i stumbled over the mod that lets you get into the pelican. I just hope your not an ameteur modder because it is not that easy. I don't know if you will be able to get it into coagulation, but its possible. And there is also a mod for a shadow being able to be jacked. The cheats are at: files.halomods.com you will have to register to their forums to get it though

Completely possible. If you notice the angle of the left sword is all fucked up... maybe it would seem fake if it were at the actual perceptual angle of what a sword should be. But you can edit the meta data of the game to make it think that its a sword. And in editing said data you can also attack with the both swords.

no sword icorn is apearing in the upper left, and MC's left hand is apearing as he only had one sword.

In reply to: the pic is fake

Read a thread before you reply. Idiots were posting that same complaint months ago.

The modder replaced the model of another weapon with the sword's model. It's not a photoshop fake.

Your right you have to have two icons to have like two energy swords.
narcogen's picture

In reply to: Yeah I think The Image is Fake

I don't believe this is still going on.

The image is NOT FAKE. It was achieved by a very early modder who replaced the model of a plasma weapon with the sword's model. It was not (and was never) functional, nor intended to be. But it is not a photoshop fake; if it were, I'd have identified it as such.
