Finding an Aimbot Program
Aimbots are small programs that run simultaneously alongside their paired game, which is "Halo" in this case. Aimbot programs are Open Gaming Content (OCG), and can thus be created and modified by independent users and shared online. Specific modules and parameters have been released as predetermined Aimbots, and they are available in various locations. They are most often posted on forums relating to "Halo" online play. There are also general Aimbot utilities that allow the user to determine the specifications and sensitivities of the Aimbot. See Resources for an Aimbot module.
Installing an Aimbot Module
Once an Aimbot program has been downloaded to your hard drive, running the program will initiate the setup. The Aimbot program will detect "Halo" if it is installed on your computer, and will adjust the game's settings to allow for the module's input on user controls and functions.
What Aimbots Can Do
The capabilities of Aimbots include, but are not limited to:
Enabling Autofire when a target is acquired
Quickly scanning the user's view to acquire a target
Tracking and automatically firing to effect on specifically colored targets (usually employed in team-based play)
Adjusting the scanning range (to determine the maximum distance at which the Aimbot will acquire and fire upon a target)
Public Opinion
Aimbots give players a major advantage in online competitive matches, are viewed by some as cheating and are banned from tournament play. Though they are fairly common on Halo's public servers, there are still communities that explicitly ban their use.
