I'm glad you brought this up. Modders are a very real and exponentially growing problem. They're common in the Lone Wolves and MLG playlists, and they've practically overrun Team Slayer. It's a lose-lose situation. If the modder is on the other team, you will (predictably) lose. But the long-term damage can be far worse when they're on your team. Just a few hours ago, I was playing MLG when I was paired up with a modder on my team. I've used the same account legitimately since Halo 3 Launch Day (September 25, 2007). Now my EXP has been hacked all the way to over 131,000. My stats have been decimated. To anyone who wants to avoid modders' parasitic influence, look for anyone with a "BUNGIE" nameplate in the matchmaking pregame lobby. They are almost certainly not from Bungie – they are a modder, so turn off your Xbox immediately, before the game can start. I really wish I'd done this a few hours ago. Stay safe out there.
