[quote=ign]A group of game modders has reportedly been able to download Halo: Reach a month early before its September 14 release date.
Halo: Reach was recently put on Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace store for game reviewers to download. The group was able to break through Microsoft's security to download and play the game. The group contends, however, it will not distribute Halo: Reach.
"So after alot of .xex cracking etc.. Me and my team finally did it, we got Halo: Reach!," the modders said. "This is not released for public, and we are not really planning on releasing either."
So far, Bungie moderators posted a warning on the studio's forums politely telling everyone to not post spoilers and to avoid internet message boards until the game's official release.
"Posting to Discuss, Request, or Link To information or campaign spoilers from illegitimately obtained sources -- including illegitimately obtained copies of Halo: Reach -- before the game is officially released will be considered a leak and will be treated as such," the message said.
"The moderation team is doing their best, but if you want to stay 100% spoiler free, our best advice is to 'go dark' by staying off all internet gaming forums until you have played through the game!"
Microsoft has issued a statement to IGN saying the company is looking into the purported leak.
"We are aware of claims being made regarding a security exploit related to 'Halo: Reach' and are aggressively investigating the matter," a spokesperson said. "We have no further details to share at this time."[/quote]

its actually on the xbox live marketplace, if you are willing to pay 99,999 MS points for it...

and its probably restricted too...
if this needs to go to the games general, then can someone move it there?
Assholes. Just wait until September like every other fucking person who has to wait.

Says the person who can't mod. If that were you I guarantee you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
Anyone else think Halo Reach might be the first good Halo game since CE?
They aren't going to distribute it so I don't see a problem.

The multiplayer without forge is kinda bland to me.
The real problem with this is the same as with Halo 3; expect spoiler rick rolls.
you think these guys' accounts will be banned until the year 9999?
im willing to bet microsoft pulls a dick move and files a lawsuit/gets them arrested

Since it's only a few people this time, yup.
[QUOTE=skynrdfan2;24217078]im willing to bet microsoft pulls a dick move and files a lawsuit/gets them arrested[/QUOTE]
So it's a dick move to get someone who did something illegal arrested? :downs:
Anyway, its morons like this who make modders look bad.
inb4 someone leaks something and Bungie is forced to make up something worse than the banpocalypse.
If they're not going to release it, spoil the shit out of it. fuck the community
I was seriously expecting Badage Boys in here.
Anyway, I don't think Microsoft should bother with them unless it's to hire them.
So they go "We got halo, we wont release it"
I don't see how this makes any news.

It's a bloody good game, I liked the bit where [sp]curiosity got the best of you and you clicked on this thinking it was a spoiler[/sp]
Whoever is saying Microsoft is a dick if they file a lawsuit are incompetent morons.. They illegally hacked through their security to download the game. It doesn't matter if they won't distribute it or not, they at least have the balls to announce what they have done.
I remember how people say that this kind of stuff isn't a big deal, like when Mass Effect 2 was leaked a week or two before release.
However, then people start revealing spoilers and it ruins the fun for everyone else :smith:

What was wrong with Halo 2 and Halo 3?
Well they are only allowed to play singleplayer.
And you can imagine what the ban time for this will be.

Why the year 9999? Just say "You have been banned from XBox Live." so they know that they fucked up.

One of my accounts on the xbox forums is banned until the year 2162.
Furthermore, I actually think it would be better on these guys to release it because they can take the credit but dissapear amongst all of the mirrors and users.

Well played.
That shit should be secure. How the hell do they have access to download it... it should be like state exams where the tests are locked up in a vault or something.
