'''Alldev''' is a devmode program that works for Halo: PC and for Halo: Custom Edition [[Multiplayer|multiplayer]]. Basically, it allows server hosts to cheat. Non-hosts can use the lesser cheats, but cheats such as invincibility can only be achieved by the host. Often, people will host servers with Alldev for the sole purpose of having fun with cheats on. | '''Alldev''' is a devmode program that works for Halo: PC and for Halo: Custom Edition [[Multiplayer|multiplayer]].

Instead of allowing the user to use commands on the console, it has at least eleven command codes built into it. Basic cheats such as super jump and invincibility can be switched on with the press of a button. One of DevTrainer's greatest features is its built-in ability to freeze time, allowing the player to stop all slow-moving projectiles, grenades, AI-controlled characters, and vehicles. It does not allow the player to freeze other players in place, unless they happen to be driving a vehicle. | ||
