Gamer banned for 7000yrs (typical MS would do this lol)

Gamer gets banned for 7000 years on Xbox Live for hacking into the Halo 3 Beta.

Quote:

Sneaking on to the CoD4 beta – that earns you a digital slap on the wrist. Cheekily squirreling into the tip-top secret Halo 3 Epsilon beta build – that’s a bit more serious. In fact when it comes to Halo, you probably ought to avoid trespassing as you would the den of an angry she-bear. A now appropriately named gamer, Scar, had snuck his way into the beta build without Microsoft’s express permission using something known as the two-controller exploit. After only a few hours of playing, and without actually getting to play alongside anyone else, Scar found himself banned from Xbox Live until December 31st, 9999.

Speaking to GameSpot, he said "I downloaded it from Marketplace and played it for maybe six hours or so all alone, in custom games and campaign. [Then] it would kick me offline every time i tried to play Epsilon. It wasn't until the next day when I signed on that I found out I got banned."

But so what? All you need is a new Xbox Live account and you’re back in. No biggie, right? Well, unfortunately for Scar – a self-confessed "achievement whore" – he’d racked up a 61,000 point GamerScore, which will now be nothing but his gaming legacy to his great-great-great-great… etc grandchildren. He is making no plans to appeal his ban.

Not a huge issue for him... it will probably take MS at least that long to work the bugs out of the code!

:D

:roll:

Another example of Microsoft saying "You'll have what we give you, you know nothing about what the consumer wants"

At least he took it better than Hitler.... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

(IF you guys saw that post a couple of days ago.)

Oh god... they've gone nuts. Over Halo?! That has to be the most overrated game series of all time!

Hale isnt even a decent shooter compared to things available on the PC, the only reason it ever became famous is the fact that it was the first shooter that was really playable for consoles.

Never liked halo myself. I go for the semi-realistic, not cartoonish aliens.

So, does this mean that the next Halo game is due out in 9999 AD? Maybe that will be a game that actually hits its release deadline, this is BIG news!

:D Chock
