Burnout x360a Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Happened with Halo 2 and Halo 3 a month or so before proper release so no suprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy W01f 816 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Yeah, some one had the bright idea to give reviewers digital copies instead of physical ones for reviews. Dumb asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Leto II Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It has been leaked but it is not readily available. Right now the leaked version is only playable on a JTAG consoles (ones that can download content and put it on the harddrive so they have access to dlc aka homebrew).

Starstrukk X360A Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I can't wait to see the wave of people that pirated it and get their gamertag banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3xus Gam3r Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I can't wait to see the wave of people that pirated it and get their gamertag banned. Just wait for MS's Ban Day in November, a thousands of Consoles is gonna be banned haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Just wait for MS's Ban Day in November, a thousands of Consoles is gonna be banned haha I just don't know why people would take that chance of having themselves banned just to have it early.

Kraderic Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I can't wait to see the wave of people that pirated it and get their gamertag banned. I think they're going to do console bans actually. Anyone can drop down $8 dollars for a one-month account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaskingz Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oh dear lord. Console bans? YES, that teaches those fools who think they can mess with the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct my friend had a modded console and they only ban the console not the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Wilhelm Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I just don't know why people would take that chance of having themselves banned just to have it early. I think that with a lot of people, it'll not be about playing it early and more about playing it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyubasterd00 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) I think that with a lot of people, it'll not be about playing it early and more about playing it for free. True, I enjoy free things as much as the next guy, but I prefer to weigh the reward/risk. Ban is much worse to me than being able to play early is good. I'm also thinking anyone with an older xbox that didn't upgrade will probably try it and then upgrade to the new one if they get banned.

fallout frank Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 the reward is much greater than the risk a modded console will get banned every november which means they get a year of free gaming, they only have to download five games and they have saved the money to buy a new console, microsoft dont care because the ban allways falls just before the release of cod, so everyone that gets banned instantly go's and buys a new console and cod, giving cod great sales and boosting microsofts christmas sales. Very clever in a way on microsofts part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegamustard Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah there will probably be massive bans but the game is only leaked for Jtag consoles and the majority of those are banned already, so they are complete offline systems. So no true risk unless you play it and then jump on live with it on your card and then Bungie just bans your account. Hopefully most people playing it will be smarter than that.

GILLHUHN Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Honestly i would enjoy playing early and i would still buy a copy on launch day i need this game so badly! Edit: Not a regular copy either legendary edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernawt Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have a feeling they'll do a huge "ban wave" right before release. They did it last year for MW2 and tens of thousands of consoles got banned. Serves them right, if I say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnout x360a Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Microsoft banned people that pirated Halo 3 early until 31/12/9999 so the same thing will probably happen here. I read on a recent news article that this digital download version of Reach is allegedly digitally signed by Microsoft so as a result can be run on unmodded xbox 360 consoles. What's this "Ban Day" you speak of? I've done achievement hacking, am I going to get banned? What do you mean by 'hacking' do you mean you boosted it or you used illegal methods. The latter will result in a ban but boosting is not a problem. Edited August 23, 2010 by Burnout x360a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3xus Gam3r Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 What's this "Ban Day" you speak of? I've done achievement hacking, am I going to get banned? Yup...you will be banned, console+profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
