2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Singleplayer do whatever you like, multiplayer do not cheat.
Multiplayer, don't cheat - join or start lobbies playing the way you want to play.
The only correct answer.
Except on 2b2t.
Context: that's an "anarchy" server where modifying the client is explicitly allowed.
I wouldn't count that as cheating.
In the original halo on PC I modded the game so the rifle was shoot out banshees instead of bullets. I also made the warthog fly. I guess now that I’m typing this is was not really cheating as it was a 1v1 match and we got to screw around with the mods is did.
The hex editor was a blast. I made the pistol shoot 100 bullets at once.
Haha, that never occurred to me. That’s a cool one.
I wanted to make it shoot plasma grenades, but at first it just blew up in my face, then it lobbed plasma grenades in front of me.
Eventually I changed the impact of the bullet on each object in the game so it would explode like a plasma grenade instead of giving off the impact animation.
Took forever.
I wonder if I can still install that old version anywhere and mess with the hex codes.
Pretty sure I kept crashing my PC back in the day by trying that lmao
I remember I was playing vs a friend, and I was hosting. The assault rifle was default on mine, but I knew my friend has his set to shoot rockets. He got the drop on me once so I sprayed the ground in front of him, then killed him when he lagged because of the dozens of explosions on his end.
Bungie had a whole semi official mod for Halo 1 on PC called Custom Edition. Chaos Gultch, anyone? Completely insane fun online.
