While on the subject of people getting banned/blacklisted.
Also, same thing happened to people who illegitimately got the halo 3 epsilon, except worse.

Well golly, let's pity them. Shame they did something illegal.

They're being inconsistent though. Everybody who got the epsilon had their consoles banned. Or did they just decide that 23,000 useless consoles would be too much?

Halo 3 Epsilon is the beta...right?

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 7:57 pm

Yeah, it was the most recent beta.

It was meant to be a much more private, closed beta (as far as I know). Some kids downloaded it through a friend's Xbox Live account's download history. They got banned...what a surprise.

On the subject of Call of Duty 4's beta, I think it was Infinity Ward's decision on whether or not to ban people. Since it is an open beta after all, I think they didn't mind it as much (it's only 3 multiplayer maps, whereas Halo 3 Epsilon actually had some singleplayer content which Microsoft/Bungie didn't want leaked), but they were mad enough to give 24 hour bans, and they fixed the bug (beta costs 99,999 MP if you don't have a token).

Hey i would have been baned for 24 hours to play a beta of Halo3 anyday.
Edit: if you want to play you can... but you would have to spend alot of microsoft points over $600 worth. =P

No. The people who played the Halo 3 Epsilon were banned permanently (the console says they are banned until 12/31/9999). The people who played the Call of Duty 4 beta who weren't supposed to were banned for 24 hours.

O alright i'm sayin 24 ours is a cheap price to pay.

Microsoft's Major Nelson has stated that contrary to various rumors, the company did not ban tens of thousands of Live gamers as a result of gamers taking advantage of a COD 4 beta entry glitch. However, Major Nelson comments that account sharing IS in violation of the terms and is generally not a safe thing to do.
