when you soft mod and you get banned you can still play in custom games right?..is it true that if u use a mod chip and get banned your whole xbox is banned from xbox live forever?
Id suggest that instead of using xboxlive, try aquaduct or xbconnect (depending on system). they are underground lan tunneling programs that uses your games multiplayer (over lan) option to connect to other mulptiples of xboxs over a tunneling software. It can be quite frustrating trying to join a game sometimes, but you can easily start one.
