All of these mods are used in Halo 2 to give the "modder" a slight edge in gameplay. However, he/she can only use a lot of the mods if he/she has host of the game. Often, modders are in a party with a "bridger" or a "stand-byer." Bridgers use a program on the computer which interacts with your router and xbox to send a modder or anyone host of the game. This is effective in the process of "leveling-up." This is when gamers join a modders game to get their level boosted up because the modder is almost unstoppable. Stand-byers use many techinques to freeze other gamers games. This includes: Pressing the "stand-by" button on a modem, and slightly unplugging the ethernet cable from their Xbox. When a stand byer is sucessful, other gamers either get the dreaded "blue screen" or they get a similar black screen. Everyone but the stand-byer gets this. This allows the stand-byer to run around the map and kill all opponents. This is effectful, but illegal, as well as all mods. | All of these mods are used in Halo 2 to give the "modder" a slight edge in gameplay.
