Halo 3 players might not be banned
Halo 3 players who were lucky enough to pick up a copy before the official in store date might not be banned from Xbox Live after all. Now if you are a Microsoft employee, well then you are still out of luck and are going to be banned.
The rumors about banning and not being banned are all over the place, and with no known official notice on either the Xbox Live site or the Halo3 web sites on bans, not being banned, who will be banned for getting the game early, it is everyone’s best guess on this one.
Earlier today, a Microsoft rep told Pro-G that gamers who played Halo 3 early would have their LIVE accounts banned. The rep also confirmed that Microsoft was able to ban accounts based on information collected by the console which showed when the game was played. However, Pro-G has since been contacted by another MS rep, who said the ban only applies to Microsoft employees. Source: Pro-G
So all you happy UK halo 3 boffins, enjoy yourselves, unless of course you work for Microsoft, but even that is just ending up being rumor and various reps saying various things, so no one really knows for sure.
You can see the hoopla here at EuroGamer, and Xbox360 fanboy, so there is a lot of confusion on the issue right now. The official release date is 25 September, if you can keep it off line for Halo, then you are probably cool to play, build your skills, and work out how the game is played off line, then when the game officially releases, go on line, and have a great time.
