Microsoft stated that all people who:

"...use external methods with a PC to unofficially put a SGT Johnson addon to their profiles are trackable. The used code can be read and we are aware of the current codes being exploited. All profiles using these codes will be banned permanently from the Xbox Live service."

just a heads up people.

Source? Cause I'm googling the hell out of it and can't find anything.

Edit, Also, if microsoft can't determine if the xbox's hard drive has been tampered with by now, I don't think they can really read the hard drive while your online. So I think this may be bogus until you provide a source.

ayepecks i don't think V-99 meant it aggressively, it's just that he likes this game and wants to stand up for it. just like talking about MS banning people invariably gets a response from the pro-mod/pro-hack lobby etc.

i don't even know what all this Sgt Johnson hoopla's about. What's the big deal with people adding him to their Halo save files anyway?

Cause it was a pre-order bonus apparently. And you could only get it if you pre-ordered the game from select retailers, which is complete bogus in my opinion cause not all stores would offer this.

But Still, without a source, I think that this is just all just made up. I tried searching for an official source from majornelson.com / microsoft.com / xbox.com and still haven't been able to find any tangible leads.

I doubt it is made up. If you use a redeem code to get the content, they can easily verify if you didn't use a code to get it. Their system is closed/proprietary for a reason.

Go ahead and try it and report back so we can verify their response. :)

Still no official word from microsoft from what I can gather from the net. So far I think that this may be made up. Also, when the marketplace first opened up online, there were loads of glitches that occurred in which people downloaded bonus materials for games that were not verified for. Yes, Microsoft did do some action towards those members, but others who said that they downloaded it have not had any of their content removed from their hard drives. Once on the hard drive, always on the hard drive.

Edit: can say that a friend had done it, and so far he hasn't been banned whatsoever.

That's right I wasn't being aggressive. I meant to ask a genuine question, "do you feel you got your moneys worth?"

Sorry ayepecks.

Sorry ayepecks.

Gotcha -- no problemo!

Yeah, I gladly paid $60 for this. I think it's more of a $40-$50 title since I already had the multiplayer with Halo 3, but I don't regret the purchase. But the graphics are still fairly dated. Hopefully Reach will utilize a new engine (or heavily modified/updated).

i agree with most of ayepeck's observations, it's a good game that has some very obvious shortcomings - mostly the short game time and rehashed MP. speaking of which, every time i play team slayer ranked it goes to the same map - i always forget what it's called. but it's just that one, not like Halo 3 which cycled through a few of em.

nestea, doing all that stuff is pretty juvenile. i mean all that for a skin? i understand the need to defy authority, but it's not like anyone's forcing them to play this particular game to begin with.

Anyone down to try and get the FF and Deja Vu achievements?

Man, if I ever get some spare time I'd love to try for all the online achievements with people, but it doesn't seem like I do. After I get off work I go work out and I never get home until 8 p.m., and I have to get up at 6 a.m. weekdays. Gah.

I'll have time one weekend, I just don't know which one.

Guys weird question for everybody. Now because I have ODST, do I need to have the old free Halo 3 DLC that I downloaded on my hard drive? I was just clearing things out on my hard drive and realized that DLC might not need to be on there.

Now I digress. Who else has installed ODST to their hard drive? I can't believe it only takes up 3.5gb! My 20gb hard drive has over 6.1 gb's free on it. It hasn't been this empty ever. :p

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
