mod chip questions

I was wondering 1st...i just bought a Xecuter 3 CE mod chip and i was wondering if it was illegal... and 2nd will i be able to go online with H2 and not get permanantly banned?

 

1/ No. It is legal to talk and buy X3.

2/ Yes, you can go XBL if the modchip is off.

 

but is there a way where i can use my mods on halo 2??

 

I'm not sure about modding halo2

 

well i know how to mod halo..but can i even go on w/out getting banned..because ive heard too many things, because people who softmod can go into custom games and not get banned so i was wondering if hardmodders can too??¿¿

 

Dunno..Ask some of the people in the custom game rooms..

 

If you use mods on Halo 2 you will eventually get banned from match making and will only be able to play custom games. If they detect a hardware mod, say you accidently try to log on to XBL with your mod chip on you will be banned from XBL completely with that particular machine.
