Modding can add [[weapons]], turn weapons that are single-wielded into [[dual-wield]]ed weapons, such as the [[Covenant]] [[Energy Sword]] or even [[Sniper Rifles]]. Also, mods can make a player jump incredible distances and in some cases, break the game or map barrier.

Also, mods can make a player jump incredible distances and in some cases, break the game or map barrier. These mods CAN be used for everyones enjoyment also, and in Halo: CE, modding is not like cheating because it affects everyone in the game, EX: If the assault rifle is modded to shoot tank rounds or sniper bullets, all the players can shoot out the sniper bullets and tank rounds, Modders that are legitimate players and do not cheat discourage cheaters to be called modders, rather hackers. | ||

Most of these maps are hard drive maps such as [[Containment (Level)]] or [[Terminal (Level)]] | Most of these maps are hard drive maps such as [[Containment (Level)]] or [[Terminal (Level)]]. It is possible to modify the maps on the Game Disk, but it is a very hard process and may break your DVD drive. The easier way is to copy the game to the [[Xbox]] hard drive, but you won't be able to play on [[Xbox LIVE]] with them. | ||
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 other players' routers and xboxs to make a modder or anyone else host of the game. This is effective in the process of "leveling-up." This is when gamers join a modder's 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 Internet 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. | All of these mods are used in [[Halo 2]] to give the "modder" a slight edge in gameplay.
