'''Modding''' is the act of altering aspects of a game by manipulating its program code and other resources. A number of things qualify as mods, ranging from palette swaps to the creation of entirely new maps. Some mods involve the alteration of game resources, while others run independently of a game and edit its working memory. Because modding is often used for cheating, it is not allowed on [[Xbox Live]] and the use of a modded Xbox on Xbox Live will result in a terminated account. However, modding can be done without penalty in [[Halo Custom Edition]], an expansion of [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)]]. | '''Modding''' is the act of altering aspects of a game by manipulating its program code and other resources.
