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

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
