HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I don't know if this is the right area to post this, I am new to halomods. I got alot of questions so bare with me. I just started modding Halo 2. I will list the questions, please help me out.

1. If you have put a bigger HDD in your Xbox and downloaded Halo 2 to it, can you still play Xbox Live with that?

2. I am having trouble find Halo 2 maps. Is there just none or are people not posting them here. I got a few, but I am trying to get as many as I can. Modded maps I mean, I am not requesting the orginial maps. I have my copy of Halo 2.

3. Is there anyway possible to cheat on Xbox Live? I see people doing crazy things in videos in such, but I don't know if its XBC or XBL. I was wondering this because every game has there elite few who find ways around the newest blocks, and I was wondering if thats the case with Halo 2. I am not nessecarily wanting to cheat on XBL, but when I find out that certain things are possible it makes me want to find out how.

4. Also, this doesnt retain to halomods, but I am sure someone can help. Whenever I play on XBC I get alot of lag. I have 6mb connection so whats the deal?

Thanks again for any help you can give me.

1: You can do that, if you have never been on xbox LIVE before with that xbox, for example. Say you have a brand new xbox, and you put a big hard drive in there, and then put a live account on it, that would work. if you already have an xbox with live on it, then as soon as you sign on with a large hard drive, you will get banned.

2: People dont post the whole maps, they post a .ppf, you use a program called PPF-O-Matic to apply the .ppf to the map, which makes it modded, according to the patch.

3: There are ways to "cheat" on xbox live, people usually just call it glitching, but you can do stuff like grab the flag and score instantly, while being invisible and invincible basically, and you can do alot of other crazy stuff, you can find more info on that at http://HighImpactHalo.org

4: It's possible that you just have alot of things open on your computer, try closing all browser windows, AIM, p2p sharing applications, stuff like that, have lots of stuff open will cause lag.

Lets say I made a new account on my new unmodded Xbox, and transfered that live account to my modded xbox would that work? or lets say I just make a whole new account on my modded xbox. Would that work as well?
