Well so call mr. awesome just ****ed up writing his gamertag on a picture that is ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

Can I haz ACCOUNT BAN!?

Its just 18 more days before the game comes out, not that much longer guys. Waited all this long, just a few more days. 2 weeks and 4 days to be exact.

I mean hell IM GETTING THE SYSTEM AND LEGENDARY EDITION and im patient, and im NEVER patient lol. I sold my system and everything to "upgrade". So its ok guys, we will live till 14.

Hell I even "got' the game and played it on a system I have, i couldnt make it past the menu, something in my brain was telling me to just wait it out instead of ruining it, sad part of all this, i NEVER play single player of ANYWAY game... lol. So it didnt matter to me anyway, but point being not that long left.

You won't get banned for buying a game early. We went over this when MW2 came out, as it's not their fault they were sold the game early.

Yeah I dunno how that rumor is still going around. Nobody's ever been banned for buying the game early and its happened with just about all huge releases.

I understand, but he will be monitored up the ass, and as soon as he pops the game in and connects to live, or is connected to live and it reports him playing the game before release, you know microsoft has the right to ban you right?

Now if he has another system, or is bragging for epeen, then he's not gonna get banned, but oh well he has a copy before everyone else. The real fun is playing it before everyone else. Hence Midnight releases.

He won't get banned. If he does all he has to do is call Microsoft Support and show proof that he purchased the game and he will be unbanned.

IF you downloaded the game, then you will 100% get banned, but obviously this guy didn't.

i've been asked about unauthorized pre-release play on Halo: Reach. Let me address that.

as with all unauthorized play on Xbox LIVE, anyone playing any unauthorized title runs the risk of account permaban and console.

remember, legit store bought copy runs no risk of ban. Key word: UNAUTHORIZED. We have ways of knowing. :>

We already received our physical review copy, though I am not reviewing it, so I don't get to play it :(. So long as it's a retail copy that was purchased or given to you buy MS PR, you are all good.

Looks like Halo Reach will be my first Xbox game with the new packaging! WOOT WOOT! Shipping from Newegg soon!

So I have yet to see this clearly answered anywhere, although I haven't looked real hard in order to avoid spoilers, but how long is single player?

Depends on the difficulty you play. At least, that is Bungie's official answer to this question. Usually a Halo game lasts between 6-10 hours depending on difficulty. 6 on easy, 8-10 on legendary. I recall normal took me abour 7 hours to beat when I got Halo 3.

lol, do people really play on easy? I mean, I don't always start on the hardest difficulty, but easy just seems like tossing $$ out the window. But thanks for the answers.

TBH, I do. BUT I only do it for achievements after I've run through campaign the first time. 90% of the time I get too into a campaign that I forget about specific achievements. So I play through again on easy to get anything else done.

I never drop down to easy, but I'll usually go with normal for my first playthrough of a game, just because I want to see the story. If I like the game, then I'll go for a harder difficulty next time.

P.S. 999th reply! Not bad for a game that isn't out yet :) .

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
