Yes.. You can only mod you xbox with those games.. They have errors in the games which allow you to boot files which normally arent allow.
Once you get your xbox softmodded using one of those games you can then mod any game you like inclduing halo maps.

No, you can only mod your xbox with one of those first few games.. After that you can then modify any maps on your xbox as you like..

Yes you can but you have to learn how to setup ready for xbox live when you mod it.. You cannot run modded maps on xbox live only other game communities like http://www.xbconnect.com and http://www.teamxlink.co.uk

again he is stating that you must softmod your xbox before you can modify and play modified games on your xbox.

you CAN NOT play on XBL with a softmoded runnning on your xbox. you will need to uninstall the softmod to play on XBL.
I dont want to get it... can someone e-mail me the Splinter cell one?
And how do you copy your hardrive? Should i do that befor soft modding?
Thanks

Hi,
Why dont you want to get bittorrent ?
Most of the sites where you might find things of interest for your softmodded box will be got by using a bittorrent frontend, or you could always join a newsgroup / IRC channel to get your stuff.
Personally I would use bittorrent as it is easiest to set up and nice and fast - use it with P2P Guardian and you should be safe.
There are some really good tutorials on this site to help with all aspects of softmodding, I would have a browse and if you are still unsure someone will be able to help out.
I have done 4 softmods with a few 'issues' along the way and have asked on here and got help every time.
Dont be afraid to ask !
