Neztea Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I love how distributors sometimes don't give a damn about release date. Though, I think I'll be playing this all weekend. Neztea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leph555 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 nice lol but won't you get banned if you play online? edit: i am not saying its fake but doesn't microsoft ban the people who get early copies, those that aren't developers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neztea Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 I believe when ODST was leaked in France, Microsoft said that they won't ban players who got their hands on it early. Only those with leaked pirated games will be banned.. I hope your wrong though. Just finishing installing it on my HD. ;) Neztea Edit: Also, this is the real deal, Not pirated in any way shape or form. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash_09 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 it might be the same case as with Halo ODST , if you bought it legally from a retailer despite them selling it early then i don't think there'll be a problem , the bans will only effect people with modded consoles and firmware who pirated the game as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circaflex Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 youll get banned, had a friend who got banned when he has the actual game. He phoned MS and they said he needs to send them proof of purchase and he will be unbanned the day of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 youll get banned, had a friend who got banned when he has the actual game. He phoned MS and they said he needs to send them proof of purchase and he will be unbanned the day of release. Your friend should sue. The burden should be on MS to prove that you have a non-retail copy of a game (aka pirated). I'd definitely demand some sort of compensation for 1. not getting to play the game that I bought, and 2. the hassle of sending in proof and waiting/hoping MS unbans your account/console.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted November 6, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 6, 2009 I went to my source to try and get COD:MW2 today, but they stopped selling games :( Now I need to wait like the rest of them for Tuesday :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 legal copy, won't get banned :). that makes no sense man. a legal copy has the exact same crc that a correct pirated copy has, it's an identical copy. There is no way MS can detect if you are using a pirated copy unless it's an incorrect crc match, so if you play the game early they can't tell if it's legit or not, so you're at risk of being banned.

Spookie Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 so if you play the game early they can't tell if it's legit or not, so you're at risk of being banned. No you aren't over 4000 people are playing online at this moment, more on SP no doubt. You think MS have the man power to ban 4000 then expect them to send in PoP? Don't spread FUD.

George P Global Moderator Posted November 7, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2009 No one really knows how they do it, they just wake up one day and just ban away. Anyways, back to the topic, lucky you, I have to wait and get my 360 back from repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad. Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 So how has Microsoft done so before? I've been led to believe that as time goes on, a list of users who've played with bad CRC rips, very early etc. have been added to a list, and come the ban wave - everyone is banned together. The only times I've seen people banned outside of the ban wave is Halo ODST and Forza, and they're the pretty big games of the year. I also believe that wave 4 has been the reason of so many people being banned, I mean introduced between Forza and GTA/CoD:MW2 and there's a way around it for the pirates which is easily detectable for MS? Sounds like MS were just baiting in the pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
