Bungie gets out the 'banhammer'

360 News | Questionable File Share content could get you banned from Halo 3.

Bungie's weekly update this week has shown that the developer is serious about clamping down on Halo 3 players who are using the game's File Share function to distribute inappropriate and illegal content to the game.

The latest Bungie update acknowledges that the developer has noticed "a moderate influx of things appearing in File Shares that don't belong there." Any players who are found to have modified content on their File Share will face new technology "that will effectively terminate your Halo multiplayer experience online in every imaginable facet."

A series of Q&As have been posted on the Bungie site to show gamers what the Bungie team deems inappropriate. Any player with hacked variations of maps or screenshots containing inappropriate content will soon find themselves swiftly booted from the multiplayer world of Halo 3.

Bungie intends to start banning players effective immediately, so gamers should take the time to spring clean their File Share or face the swinging wrath of the almighty banhammer.

You can put custom content in your Halo 3 maps? To do that wouldn't you have to have a modded console, so you would eb banned from live?

This is the first time I am hearing about mods on Halo 3.... Is there such a function apart from the few FORGE choices that we have ??

A friend showed me a hacked Last Resort map he had.

There was a duplicate fan thing in the water, except it wasn't on anything, so it just kept rolling along.

About 20 inactive Elite and MC characters just standing around.

A turret was twirling around in the ground so you could go through the group.

And a few others I;ve forgotten.

Yeah my brother has that map, he showed me.
It also has barrier things where they shouldn't be and they are red instead of yellow.
Would it be wise to remove these maps? I don't see how they hurt anyone.
