what if I've got the MS Dash setup to not connect to live?
I've got a modchip in, but I want to get Live for Halo 2.
the deal here is live aware games. a live aware game will try to connect to live upon boot up. removing live from the dashboard will just stop your dashboard from connecting to live, but your games will still try.
the answer is, when doing ANY GAMING from a mod-enabled xbox these days (whether soft mod or modchip) you are just better off disconnecting the network cable. There are just too many live aware games coming out that will screw you over.
Of course the other answer is to only play games with the mod disabled. of course this will only work with retail games which are all you should be playing anyway.
can you disable your modchip? if so, just make sure it's disabled before playing Halo 2.
