Halo 3 'early adopter' banned for many lifetimes

Finish the fight
in 9999

that's when some people may need to activate their copy of Windows Vista..=X

What's really funny is the thread on the xbox forums where they figure out why they were banned. They thought it was because they updated UNO. hehe.

Strong Bad's punching gloves give him mad FPS skillz.

From what I heard, a Bungie employee got access for their kid. The kind was tricked into handing his account info over to these guys. They told him they'd trade him for access to a PGR4 beta (which didn't exist, I believe). They then logged in with his account info and downloaded Halo Epsilon.

Apparently (again, I could be wrong), these are guys who buy RROD 360s, refurb them and sell them off. Yet another reason why you don't buy used 360s.

Also, check out the guys game score. 61,000! I would feel bad for them if they weren't such scum.

Waves,
Seriously. Well those bastards deserve to be banned, also I found really intriguing how could anyone get 61,000 I mean they aren’t 61 Disney games on the x360 right?.

I agree. If your gonna get sneak peeks like that you could at least play offline and record it or something. Be smart guy. BE SMART

Imagine that, a private, internal beta that shouldn't have gotten out phones home.

i noticed both of those too.
...it bothered me.

It bothered me, too, a whole lot.

The person(s) responsible have been properly sacked.

I've been sacked.

Remember kids,

Don't drink and blog.

Banzo Kazooie. =P

If I were MS, I would have thrown in a RROD for good measure.

BAMM!

I am sick and tired of hearing about the RROD, but that was fuckin hilarious. Y

Supposedly these are guys who buy broken 360s, refurb them, and sell them off again. How much do you want to bet he'll just sell off the one that got banned?

Yet another reason why you shouldn't buy used 360s.

Oh damn....ZING!!!

That was a good one!

I know what you mean man. I'm sitting at a meager 3300 and I would be devastated if I lost those few points, lol. With what little time I actually get to play, I feel like I worked hard for every point.

5,500 good earned achievements and I mean earned because I didn't get them like some people do by renting games like Fight night round or Disney games that practically give you free achievements or by a Glitch.

No sir I did it by playing every game I have in Hard mode, the only ones missing are the ones that require more than 3 hours of gameplay such as “7 day survivor” and the “Seriously” achievement in Gears of War.

Really I don't what I would do if my account was banned, I don’t feel like doing the whole “Saint” Walkthrough again in Dead Rising.

@Wots.,

i hear ya man, but you can't sensor yourself from games just because the achievements are easy. if you hadn't played fight night round 3, u should check it out, the easy achievements are just a bonus. i did rent tmnt, but i stopped after 200 achievement points, it was that bad. that was my first and last gamerscore whoring adventure.

I must be the only person who doesn't care about achievement points. I mean, they killed a games fun for me. COD2. Bought it, decided to get all the points, and began to play on the hardest setting. Got so frustrated COD2 now sits on a shelf, unwanted, unloved, and the free mappack codes, unredeemed. Since then I've been like "fuck it, if I get points I get points."

I'm sitting at 3500 right now.

@sheppy,

i care to an extent. i'm not obsessed. but the tougher achievements are very gratifying when you get them. it's more of a personal accomplishment vs. bragging rights. it also makes me challenge myself more in games. i wouldn't have challenged myself to get better in Guitar Hero II if it wasn't for the achievements. but on the other hand, i don't play dead rising near as much as i should because i feel a sort of inadequacy and a need to achieve everything in one runthrough which is probably impossible.

Well you are right on that one collin also I might check Fight Night Round, I have never played a Boxing game before, sounds interesting.

I know what you are saying Sheppy, some achievements are incredible frustrating and Boring but not all of them, a quick example: Dead Rising.

Dead Rising Achievements made that game awesome and the best part is that it truly made me play the game again but in different ways also it really makes you want to be the best in the game. Is considered one of the hardest games on the x360 and I got 94% of the achievements, I had to stop playing after I got Gears of War, The Darkness, Crackdown, Forza 2 and Now Bioshock.

When I get all the Bioshock achievements I might finish the “Otis” walkthrough so I only have 2 achievements left. Is impossible for me to get the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements since I never get to play more than 3 hours and that so sad because I was having a lot of fun in the first 3 hours, Surviving in that game is awesome, except when you have to wait the 10 minutes before having to move again (That’s a pro tip, Get all the food you can and camp at one spot then wait until you have just enough food to continue to the next point)

In all my experience the most frustrating achievements are the ones in Crackdown, they are tedious and yet I keep playing it like for 15 minutes whenever I feel like it.

Well basically, COD2 killed it for me because, unless you played the hardest difficulty, you only unlocked two achievements. But for each level on the hardest is a new achievement. I also despise time trials and such so my Tomb Raider Legends effectively remains incomplete. I basically play until I get bored with the game. I looked up the achievements on Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and I was tempted to play it just so I don't have to manually translate that game. Sad part? On my copy of Gundam Musuo, 3/4s of the ahcievements would be unlocked already. Co-op is seriously fun in that game. Plus, having a friend handy during the insanely stupid sequence in Original Mode where I started a level and literally fought Gato's Gelgoog, Tal-geese III, God Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and then Double Zeta Gundam in a marathon. Five bosses in a row when the game's normal missions are literally 4 bosses max spread out across a 20 minute mission.

I didn't know there was another Gundam game for the x360,sounds like like fun.I was looking foward to DW:Gundam but I might buy it when it gets a price cut.

Tell me that other Gundam game you can get it anywhere or you have to import it,seriously I didn't know of it existance until Now.
