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 techniques 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 successful, 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 effective, but illegal, as are all mods. | ||

Sometimes, though, people mod for fun by making the mods on the maps able to be used by everybody in the game. This is what modding was originally intended for: fun and messing around. Often modders make a map with a theme, such as a snowy version of a normal map, a night time version of a normal map, a SWAT type map, or anything you can imagine. Some mods add player models from a Campaign map to a Multiplayer Map, including [[Heretic]] [[Elites]], [[ODSTs]] | Sometimes, though, people mod for fun by making the mods on the maps able to be used by everybody in the game.

Some mods add player models from a Campaign map to a Multiplayer Map, including [[Heretic]] [[Elites]], [[ODSTs]] etc. Sometimes people make mods just to see what kind of new and innovative things they can do such as "Active Scenery" which allows objects, like [[Pelican]] Dropships, to move around the map without AI or anyone controlling it. An example of Bungie made active scenery is the Train on [[Terminal]] or the [[Monitor]] on [[Backwash]]. | ||
