Halo sucks. If I wanted to jump all over the goddamn place I'd play frogger.

WoW would actually probably be better for jumping.

yes, frogger games generally have well told stories, fps action, and vehicle combat the rivals most current games today.

ahead of it's time....

@Cletus VanDamme So you come into a HALO TOPIC just to say Halo sucks and you`d rather play another game?
Shouldn`t you be in school right now kid?

I expressed an opinion about the game in an open forum and did so without going the fanboy route of saying that "game xyz is better."

If you had half a brain you would have identified my post for what it so obviously is.....chum for Halo fanboys.

You're the first ;)

Making people laugh while simultaneously offending/ticking other people off is kind of my cup of tea.

It keeps me young.

At least the three guys over at Game-tuts aren't releasing the game, they're just showing off the multiplayer. I don't know about other sites, though.

People really underestimate the dedication and the power of hackers. Leaving a tantalizing product behind a single code is just begging for trouble.

Well there's hackers and then you also have Microsoft's half assed security. They aren't exactly known as being a leader in software security. I read once that Microsoft said they would like to be the gatekeepers of your banking and health information. A bunch of my friends and I laughed for days over that one.

It doesn't help that they have a bullseye painted on their back but they've been promising better security for years but everyone knows that the if you want to pirate games, the 360 is the way to go.

Honestly, putting it up in XBL was a bad move, that's like an open invitation to hackers and pirates, especially with such a high-profile game as Reach. This was basically inevitable, I don't know what they expected.

yeah, if people try to play this before launch, you can be the banhammer drops on them. remember the other games where people played before the official release? this'll be fun to see.

Not surprising. I thought this was going to happen the second I learned that it's technically available for download.

It's really not that major though, I mean Halo 2, 3 and ODST leaked, and so did many other games. The Half-Life 2 alpha version leaked like 2 years before the game was finally released, and a Doom 3 alpha was out before anyone really knew anything about the game, if I remember correctly.

I'm still surprised at MS's new habit of hosting review copies. If they're on the servers why not offer a digital copy as well. Worked well for Blizz and Starcraft.

But the real issue is; how do we squire pirate hats for our spartains?

Right. Pirates win again. It's amazing, between Ubisoft and EA's DRMs self-goaling themselves repeatedly into harming consumers instead, Machinarium short-selling itself to get people to actually pay for it, Apple opening up the most outrageous breach of firmware security in recent memory in iPhonePadPod and JTags growing into its own market with custom dashboards, we can't win. Pirates do what pirates do. I wonder how much money goes into making a product hack-proof, and how a product would've changed if it were channeled into the development funds.

So... who wants to put money they're gonna sneak in a survival story about Another Spartan Who Survived Reach in order to create a spin-off? Something like Halo: Behind Enemy Lines? I'm putting down like a hundred bucks. Also COME ON SEPTEMBER BE HERE ALREADY

@WINterfang If they have the smarts/time to get this from MS servers, they can unban their concoles/gamertags.

Or they can just hack Major Nelson's and use that like the other hacking website did.

I can say Forge world looks freaking sweet. Tho I get the distinct feeling that the reason that they had people saying "you can't do that" wasn't because of technical limitations ..... more because they wouldn't be able to shell out as many DLC map packs.

regardless it gets two thumbs up.
