:rofl:

Just wanted to send all the pirates scurrying to check their "high level" sources to enquire the validity of the leak... just to come back running saying "FAKE" "MY SOURCES HAVE NOTHING", etc, etc :p

thanks for getting me excited for nothing :angry:

worked on one :p

[Draken]

Not really a great source, there are definitely better ones out there and none of my 'sources' are confirming this leak.

worked on one :p

Nope, worked on two :D

piracy is new? i remember swapping disks at school circa 1984. i mean even Matthew Broderick was a youngster back then. it was just a slow news day for kotaku. i mean all formats, all games...there's always a pirate copy. makes buying even more gratifying.

Well the newsworthy factor of this is that it's a "review copy" and within the last week there's been a lot of "review copies" leaked all of a sudden. Others include Saints Row 2, NBA 2K9, Fracture, and Blitz the League 2. The real question is who's doing the leaking of the "review copies". Anyone with a brain and enjoys playing on XBL should stay away from them until real retail is out.

People are playing it online with no problems at all.

Like I said, as long as you sign out and/or disconnect the console while the disk is in, nothing will happen.

MS usually ollects info and do batch bans later though.

Also even if you play offline, your console is still recording achievements wich gets shown online when you reconnect. unless you create a dummy account to play it. Even then for all we know the console could be reporting to MS what other accounts has been doing on it while it was offline.

And that is the pretty big IF question right there.

We'll find out one day I'm sure. Still, I don't see why people are making it sound like MS would be out more than usual to catch people pirating it. It's not their game and they wouldn't give it the attention anymore than Bomberman Zero being pirated (ok well maybe not that bad :p). You know what I mean though. This isn't Halo 3 we're talking about, which they would no doubt put a massive effort into banning people, and that's exactly what they did ;)

lol how is this thread still alive?

Why wouldn't it be? Nobody is breaking any rules :s

No just skirting them talking about pirated releases and actual scene stuff on the first and second pages. I'm not saying we have to have a zero tolerance policy for talking about this kind of stuff, but it only perpetuates more "scene" discussion, which we all know where that leads.

Well ..... no body is telling where to download it or talking about the game and spoiling it, me and Audioboxer joked about false pirate releases (no..... obviously Far Cry 2 isn't out there :rolleyes: ) and that's all, anyway like I've said in the opening post delete it if it offends anyone (Y)

As long as no links are posted or any members posts details of taking in part pirating it, the topic is ok from what I've seen before on Neowin.

Not like there is much more to say on the matter, the game has leaked. Nothing else. We have an official topic to discuss the game in :yes:

(Y) DrunknMunky, well said, there's an official topic, period. This is a game I'm buying and that means a lot to me :p

actually I got warned a long time ago for saying I was playing a game that wasn't released yet....I disagree with the warning.....especially when I see a thread like this

[HawkMan]

Nobody is saying they're playing it.

well there was one... but that post and a few replies sems mysteriusly gone :p

ohh!! :o just noticed that!! and wasn't me!

Well then it was right to remove it (not sure it deserves a warn though). Like I said though, taking part in discussion that you have a game pirated (like other members who have posted pictures of pirated games) isn't allowed.

It's another one of Neowin's double standards at the end of the day. As long as you don't say anything about where you got it, it's ok to discuss it afaik.

I know, it just feels like some people endorse it and others make shady comments and it gets out of hand one way or another.

Thankfully the mods now are getting better at cleaning this "gray area" posts so things don't get out of hand easily.

[Draken]

hmmm opening this topic was a BAD idea, sorry :( there are more post here than in the official topic, if any mod read this pls close it

[HawkMan]

That's probably because this topic discusses actualnews about the game, or surrounding game.

meanwhile the other topic won't get many posts untill the game releases, unless all the pirates want to talk publically about their pirting and get warnings and lots of deleted posts :p

[neoadorable]

the real meanwhile is that fallout 3 is getting free word of mouth. it's all a big conspiracy. that and anti virus software. guess who writes the viruses? ;)
