But there's more ways for a game to leak right? Maybe someone will find a way to create a signed ISO from the JTAG version.

No they wont. Sorry.

With the PS Jailbreak, we could see PS3 games starting to leak early and playing 3 weeks before everyone else...

PSJailbreak and how Halo Reach was leaked are in two far different worlds.

No, I don't trust you, and no, you don't know. You're a 15yr old kid that actually knows nothing and takes wild stabs at it in the dark.

Halo Reach is on MS's servers for reviewers to download. The security was cracked allowing hackers to steal a copy, which was then decrypted and packaged for jtaggers.

/end.

This...all of it. Once the xcp was leaked, people started to crack it manually. People got really close but were missing a few things, tool to extract the GOD from the xcp was posted by Jester. GOD2ISO + wx360 = Halo Reach files.

Reach to be MS?s biggest marketing spend ever

August 24th, 2010 @ 12:55

By Johnny Cullen

Microsoft?s has told Advertising Age it will go OTT with its Halo: Reach marketing spend, promising it to be the biggest ever for one of its games.

Global product manager Michael Stout didn?t give exact figures, but Halo 3?s launch spend was $6.5 million back in September 2007.

Plans for the Bungie shooter?s advertising include 300 million Mountain Dews, 30 million bags of Doritos, a UFC sponsorship, live action TV spots and a robot in San Francisco.

Halo: Reach launches worldwide on September 14 for 360.

Halo: Reach Campaign will feature matchmaking

August 23rd, 2010 @ 11:11

By Johnny Cullen

Bungie?s confirmed it?s implemented Xbox Live matchmaking in Halo: Reach?s Campaign.

Previously with Halo 3 and ODST, you could only invite your friends to play online.

With Reach, though, you can play with anyone over Live in the Campaign, according to the latest Bungie update.

Easy win.

We played the shooter?s Firefight mode at Microsoft?s Play Day event in Cologne last week. Get Keza Macdonald?s impressions here.

Reach launches on September 14.

Commemorate the launch of Halo: Reach with a Monument of Light

August 24th, 2010 @ 16:13

By Stephany Nunneley

Microsoft and Bungie are calling upon Halo fans to create a ?monument of light? to commemorate the Noble Team and the planet Reach.

By visiting the Remember Reach website, players can contribute a ?a point of light? to collectively form a ?dramatic monument?.

In addition, a collection of three live-action short films depicting what it was like living on Reach prior to the Covenant invasion will also be unveiled from director Noam Murro.

Here?s how it all works:

Visitors can explore and contribute to RememberReach.com, where a continually regenerating sculpture composed of thousands of points of light will take form, produced by a state-of-the-art robotic installation. By guiding a robotic arm to their chosen coordinates, visitors will add another light to the sculpture, honouring the heroic Spartans in the most anticipated game of 2010. The monument is constructed by special camera equipment which captures and composites the movements and light pulses from the robotic arm, which visitors can see in action on the website.

As the community bands together to create a monument to the highly anticipated launch of ?Halo: Reach,? they will also be able to access other content, including a collection of dramatic live-action shorts that capture a poignant snapshot of life on the planet Reach just before the arrival of the dreaded Covenant. The stirring vignettes offer an intimate look at the lives of citizens and soldiers on Reach prior to the legendary battle that set the epic ?Halo? saga in motion.

The final live-action short, ?Deliver Hope,? debuts this Thursday, August 26 on Halo.Xbox.com, Halo Waypoint and www.bungie.net.

The game launches worldwide on September 14, and will see the largest marketing push yet from Microsoft.

Now I remember why I stopped playing Halo 3.... I stopped playing because if you go solo you always end up against better team players (I'm pretty sure everyone ended up with those people, you know the ones that spawn camps every single point and can't even do **** once you spawn) and seriously, whats the win and lose ratio if you go solo matchmaking? :angry: I'm pretty sure people are gonna do the same thing for Reach.... sigh...(most of my friends plays Call of Duty now, so I can't form team with them :( ). Just frustrating really, I was playing Halo 3 for 4 hours and not even 1 win :sleep:

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
