One of the first forms of cheating that took place in Halo 2 was the Standby Cheat. This cheat involved players intentionally pressing the standby button on their modem, freezing the game for other players, giving the cheater time to accomplish their objective. This cheat was heavily exploited by many players, and was quickly realized by Bungie. Players that standby too often would be detected and banned from any and all matchmaking, and in the majority of cases from Xbox Live. Players would often use this cheat to change the outcome of a game that was previously not in their favor, in order to pad their ranked matchmaking stats.
