Pirate gamers face more sanctions

[cunny]

The developers behind Halo: Reach have taken another step aimed at cracking down on pirates.

Bung says people illegally playing the game ahead of next week's release will have credits they've earned wiped.

Announcing the move on its website Bung said "any credits you earn during this slim pre-Launch window are going to be summarily and systematically reset prior to launch".

"Don't get too attached to any fancy new gear you have already acquired".

Well were heading into Ban Time Soon, They will be starting to watch eveything over the Coming Month or so...

Anyway I have no interest in this particular Game .... Waiting for F1 2010 But Halo is a Microsoft Game so they will come down hard on early play or Flag users for there upcoming ban wave.

hey mate, i was like that, i hated halo 3 an the others, but when i play co op with my brother, i loved it.

my brother is crazy, he accepted the update and tried to jump online.
it never worked online tho, he done the same thing last year with cod 6 and he never got banned.

lets see what will happen this year. i never got banned last year, i only flashed the xbox 1 time and so did my brother.


any way good luck to us all!!!!!


ps do you think if we all get banned this nov will it be worth it buying a new xbox an flash it after the ban wave, will it last another year?

There is speculation that the new dashboard is going to be able to detect as soon as you flash the drives. So if this is true it wont last a year. It will only last as long as it takes microsoft to detect it then ban it.

We will have to wait and see and keep an eye on updates from the ongoing tests.

ok mate, my brother will accept the update when it comes out so i will let you know if he gets banned. its the same xbox what survived the last ban wave.

i reckon they will wait for black ops before the wave ban just as they did last year with mw 2.
