Tech Star Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you downloaded the game, then you will 100% get banned, but obviously this guy didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence Midnight releases. from stepto tiwtter feed. 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. :> http://twitter.com/stepto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted August 28, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hmm, i want this game... but don't want this game xD I remember the Halo 3 hype. It's what made me buy a 360 first time round... also made me sell it... I was so disappointed with that xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Well so call mr. awesome just ****ed up writing his gamertag on a picture that is ALL OVER THE INTERNET. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_c_b Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 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?

danisflying527 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Im hoping its longer than 8 hours! + im so pumped for reach why cant september 14th JUST HAPPEN NOW OMG I wants forges 2.0s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emn1ty Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 lol, do people really play on easy? I mean, I don't always start on the hardest difficulty, but easy just seems like tossing $$ out the window. But thanks for the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakes Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 lol, do people really play on easy? I mean, I don't always start on the hardest difficulty, but easy just seems like tossing $$ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do :p the first run on easy/normal because I am more interested in story and want to get through as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingeringSoul Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 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 :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
