Haha so pwned.
I bet he was warned before he did it, so no sympathy here, hope MW2 single player is good enough for you.
It's your own damn fault. The only to get it back is with a new xbox and new credit card number.Quote:

Not owning an xbox, I don't know what "modded" means. What does it mean?
modifying the drive(?) so it can play burnt gamesQuote:

But you'd be surprised, people have been banned for as little as installing a better ( non-m$ approved ) fan to avoid the "red ring of death."
your freaking stupid to actually start playing live on modded 360.Quote:

Mine's modded and been so for about a year now. Fresh 500GB HDD, new DVD Drive with flashed Firmware, flashed BiOS, along with team xecuters modchip. To go along with that it's been case modded, painted and a window cut in the side exposing my DVD tray. Along with lights and controller switched to control the lights on the inside of the case and controllers.Quote:

Not once been banned, nor warned about being banned from live. Nor will I ever.
It's only the idiots that don't know what they're doing ( mostly little kids ) that get banned from live.
I like microsofts style.
i think if you reflash your hard drive, and buy a new one the serial on it will be reset, i could be wrong
Nope, it bans the NIC MAC address.Quote:

This may require an unbanned xbox key.
Thats a soft way to do it, or you can install an infectus chip. (If thats still around, there are other chips too.)
Dont give MS any more money.
It's posts like this that make me want to ban everyone and start fresh.Quote:

justwith this game i get banned
what r they fking doing to know wich is modded
Why does it matter what they do to find out that your consoles chipped ? To say you've got away for it for 2 years is very lucky, but Microsoft was always bound to catch you.
If you don't wanna pay for games, then why not just download games on your PC (if you have one) instead.
I propose to close this thread as there is nothing he can do to avoid/delete the ban.
i propose u read the posts befores and see theres a way..
Really difficult tbh
My english level is kind of low and still searching some way..
if i cant get one suppose i will sell it
What's stopping you?!?!Quote:

Can u get banned from Playstation Network 2?
You shouldn't play online, just keep yourself in the "safe-side" until the official release of the game, and also you should have took off any storages (HDD, memory cards) and don't play online until it's released...
Good luck on getting unbanned, you gonna need it :o
It can be difficult, but theres many tutorials (which i wont link here) that can guide you through easy. It's better than sitting with a $250 paperweight. Dont sell it, thats bullshit, then the buyer will be fucked and that isnt cool.Quote:

It's oh-so enticing: you find a copy of a brand new game like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on a pirate site and the temptation to download it is too strong.
Well, that temptation may have cost up to 1 million users of Microsoft's Xbox Live the ability to use that service. According to a report in InformationWeek, Microsoft has banned as many as a million players from Xbox Live for altering their consoles in order to play pirated versions of games.
This week, Activision's new Call of Duty was released, and InformationWeek speculated that because pirated versions of the game appeared on various sharing sites in advance of the release, the game's developer may have exhorted Microsoft to enact the bans.
"Xbox 360 consoles are equipped with digital rights management technologies designed to detect pirated software," InformationWeek wrote, "but some players have successfully 'modded,' or modified, their machines to circumvent DRM protections."
Even if someone has been banned, their Xbox will still play offline games, InformationWeek said. But it's not at all clear if the bans are permanent or if Microsoft will allow those who have been booted from Xbox Live to return at some point down the line.
In a statement Microsoft said: its "commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of the Xbox Live community remains a top priority. All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and modifying their Xbox 360 console violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live. We can assure you that if an Xbox Live member follows the Xbox Live terms of use, purchased a retail copy of Modern Warfare 2 and played the game on an unmodified Xbox 360, no action will be taken."
And on the Xbox support page, Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson, has addressed some of the circumstances that could lead to a player's being banned.
"Players who find their Gamertags banned from Xbox Live have wound up in that situation due to violations of the Xbox Live Terms of Use," Major Nelson wrote.
"The Xbox Live team monitors players for not just cheating, but also for things like threats, racism, profanity, and just being an all around poor sport and ruining the game for others.
"When a Gamertag comes up as violating our policies for online behavior, the person who owns that Gamertag is punished by being banned from the service. Keep in mind, this isn't just a ban on a particular game. This is a ban on the Xbox Live service as a whole, so you won't be able to go online at all during your ban. Initially, you may be banned for a day, a week, or depending on severity, permanently! Kiss that $50 goodbye."
That makes me get some hope.. butQuote:

Less than half of all xbox users actually play online. There are MANY people who would pay a decent amount for it on eBay, because they don't play online. I've had my 360 Elite console for almost 2 years now, and yes, i would still have bought it (but cheaper obviously) if it had no online capabilities.Quote:

well i actually bough it for that.. got like 10 games since i bough it and i just played on it to go online.
This was on the news a couple of days ago. Microsoft has banned people's Xbox who modded their console. So I guess you learned your lesson.
I pretty much do that, just got MW2 but its being gay on my Windows 7 install, and I've been loving L4D 2 demo. Microsoft screwed me anyway, I lost my 360 thru a surge, and then after getting another it RLoD'd on me.. Fuck M$Quote:

Also i think on buying MW2 on PC..
Does its good as on xbox?
Tbh i reckon the developers of the mod software will release some way around it some time soonQuote:

I knew the pirating community wouldn't let us down :D
No need for a proxy.Quote:

Lol so is the game a legit copy or did you download it?...maybe you did use it wrongly / violate rules, i know my friend got banned ages ago for playin the cod4 live before release lol
Thanks for the info.... Now i will wait to see what will happenQuote:

There are some ways to unlock it at moment just that theyr quite complicated for me.
As my enlgish is not the best.. im learning its kind of complicated
i will wait and see if haxor make this easier
@Nuloki seams a bit difficult to do ^^
@donkjam
ye.. but as time goes i suppose this will get easier
well at least i hope it gets easier.
theres a few vids on youtube but i dont know if theyre legit and work :/
I like how people are already going on about what i already mentioned. You're banned, thats it. You either buy a new console, or try and do what i suggested.
I have 2 xbox's, one modded, and one legit.
PS. Even if you had waited longer to play MW2, you would have still been banned, over 1 million consoles were banned, beause Microsoft waited till they found a way around "anti-detection" software pirates had. So you would have been banned anyway..
Mmm srry :/Quote:

or its an auto ban
Track modden consoles and ban them
You can't escape it if you don't know how.Quote:

It couldn't have been because of mw2 because i was playing a legit version and i still got bannedQuote:

This banning ruins it for those who want a better experience, because the ones that pirate will always get around it; it's similar to the PSP community: Sony releases a hardware or software modification that prevents all piracy and homebrew. less than a week later, there's always at least a proof of concept. now I can't do the 1 Tb mod to my new 360 like I wanted
