He must think there are cheat codes in CoX.
I know area codes and zip codes, does that count? No, it sounds to me like you found one of the weirdos.

I got invited to a team this morning, and as soon as I got on, one of the guys asked me if I knew any codes. I'd never heard this term before, but I asked if he meant ID numbers for AE missions, since it was the only thing I could think of that was code-like. He said no, then said "if you don't know what codes are, come back when you learn" and kicked me from the team.

Nope. Next time tell him: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. (bonus geek points for knowing what that is)
Sounds like an idiot that thinks there are cheat codes in the game. There aren't.

Maybe he meant these? I can't imagine someone who kicks another person for not knowing about them, though. It's not like they're universally known about, and it's not like not knowing about them is some kind of problem...

This.
The only other codes that come to mind are the game codes used to upgrade/open an account. Since those are one-time use i doubt those are what he meant either. i think you just ended up on one of those teams made up of misinformed fools who've invented nonexistent features/cheats for the game.

Awww, oh well been awhile since I played any console games. I think I'll stick with PC for the foreseeable future.
Tell them that GodMode is activated by pressing ALT+F4. If they complain that it didn't work, tell them that it means someone else was trying to activate it at the same time, and they were slightly faster, so they got it. Also, CTRL+W is the backup version.

It's not invented! They Exist! For example, if you type Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious after using a Tier 1 blaster attack but BEFORE it hits and the hit kills the npc on an odd second (based on server time) you get a purple drop! Every time! But you have to type it by hand when you do it, you can't use macros, binds, copy/paste, or the Up/Enter trick. But once you try, fail or no, you have to wait 48 hours before it works for your account again.

You know, if you figured out what was the slowest moving blaster tier 1, and had it 3 slotted for range, and used boost range beforehand, and were a really fast and accurate typist, that might be possible.

CoH overrides certain windows shortcuts. Alt+F4 temporarily switches you to your first alt tray, then uses the bottom inspiration in your 4th column.

"START" was not part of the command, and not required in any way... other than to actually start the game after you were done entering the code.
If you were using 2 players (for example), you'd have had to press SELECT before START... which would have screwed it up if it was part of the code.

In retrospect, this is the most likely scenario.
And my posting of the Konami code was from memory of almost 20 years ago, I'm proud that I got it as close to correct as I did.

'2d' is the geekspeak for the user interface... everything that's not the 3D game. So, it would take away all your windows including the chat window which has the command line to undo the command.
'Disable2d' is usually default bound to your period key or the number pad period key. You can toggle it on and off with that key. Inputting the command directly leaves you no way to bring it back. And I think that the '++' means treat it as 'always on' as if you were pressing and holding down a button to make it work which could theoretically override the period toggle even if you knew about it.
Pure evil.
I'm sure a reboot of the game would undo it, but you may still start up with no UI which would require using a key bound to bring the UI back.
And if did that to someone in the game and they petitioned you, you're most likely looking at a two week ban at the least.
