This is hilarious, I posted on it yesterday on my blog -some n00bs actually got their hands on illegal copies of Halo 3 -and started playing it online 8)7 for the world (prob. Bungie and Microsoft testing still) to see their gamer tags. Next day they get blocked, and then they turn to the Xbox forums (links included to the thread) to complain, until suddenly they realize what happened...LMFAO so funny. The gamertag is | SCAR | and now he's banned until 12/31/9999 LOL

Lol most people feel the need to post a thread as they join, one word of warning, dont start posting loads, if theres a thread even slightly appropriate to what you want to discuss, use that, they would just end up getting closed and being a waste of time:)

IMO if anyone is dumb enough to get an illegal copy of an EPSILON test of a game and doesnt go on appear offline or something to hide it, deserves a thread dedicated to their stupidity

At least they got a whole day of fun before getting banned but they can just do another tag correct?

That message about only being able to play until 9999 is also quite amusing specially as the planet would have exploded or the human population would be extinct by then. :P

Thanks for making me laught a bit mate.

September 6th, 2007, 14:52
yeah the 9999 would so be in your face -I can just imagine staring at that. I don't think it's as easy as getting a new gamertag -it's all linked to your account with live, so credit card, name, address. I think he'll have a lot more trouble (using his mom maybe lol) getting back -oh the shame! Playing Halo 3 under your mom's name!

And how exactly would an unsigned build of a game run on a retail console ? This quite obviously a hoax by 2 kids who got banned for playing on live with a modded console (and most likely some pirated game that is not h3).

September 6th, 2007, 14:58
yeah i thought about that too -still I did see those pics on the internets of those shrink-wrapped Halo 3 boxes somewhere in Italy.. Remember, it's shipping already, so there's bound to be some guy trying to make a buck selling them out of a truck or whatever. At least that's what I'm thinking.

The game's gold, and usually high-profile titles leak into the warez-scene more or less the exact hour they arrive at the presser. So most probably, say 100% chance, it is signed.

Those were just for promotional purposes. They were empty.

IMO if anyone is dumb enough to get an illegal copy of an EPSILON test of a game and doesnt go on appear offline or something to hide it, deserves a thread dedicated to their stupidity = appearing offline wouldnt have done anything, the whole time i was playing there was debug text running in the right corner and also the text in the bottom middle saying when i logged in and what my GT was. even if i appeared offline they would have still seen that.


yeah the 9999 would so be in your face -I can just imagine staring at that. I don't think it's as easy as getting a new gamertag -it's all linked to your account with live, so credit card, name, address. I think he'll have a lot more trouble (using his mom maybe lol) getting back -oh the shame! Playing Halo 3 under your mom's name! its only a ban on the console/gamertag you played it on, i personally have 4 360s and my dad has one of his own, all of which work fine online, and yes, i can easily sign up for a new tag under the same address and name and IP.

And how exactly would an unsigned build of a game run on a retail console ? This quite obviously a hoax by 2 kids who got banned for playing on live with a modded console (and most likely some pirated game that is not h3). The Halo 3 Epsilon test is not unsigned... im sure you read the story where a woman that works at MS got he son the epsilon then a couple guys stole his account and did the second profile glitch to get the beta off him, well they let some people do it then it blossomed into a good 100 people glitching into it, and i was one of them.

Hey Scar, thanks for teh explanation -still after reading your story, they have a reason banning u? And seriously, it's just a matter of getting a new gamertag/account and ur free to go?

Just thinking, with all the millions of Live players out there, this whole story makes it seem like a small place after all l0l ;)

He would have to buy a new 360 to go back on Xbox Live. yes, i have 4 360s of my own so i just switched to a different one... and MS support seems like they are going to unban my account, i just have to call them back again later

Two questions, you say you have 4 360s of your own, what possible need could you have for four of the exact same console?

And do you have money to burn? Cause with 4 360s of your own, not anyone else in the family, just for you, thats just a silly waste of money...

Scar
September 6th, 2007, 22:59
it was pretty sweet, i only played by myself except for 1 game of 2 player co-op on tsavo highway with a friend, since matchmaking had 0 players in it i had to play my own customs and forge.

Forge: not too many options... you get to place any vehicle, weapon, power up anywhere on the map, change spawn points and add teleporters, but other than that not much to do...

Sandtrap: they say its "the largest map ever" well, i dont think so... sure its bigger than coag but the actual playing area isnt too big, if you go outside the barriers (marked by flashing light posts) grenades will start popping out of the ground and blowing you up every 10 seconds, the elephant is cool, very big with 3 turrets and 2 mongooses, however it moves really slow.

Last Resort: very cool map, the graphic detail on this map is amazing, the sand and plants *drool* the inside of the base is much larger now, instead of a gate you cant walk through or drive through (zanzibar halo2) its a low gate you can jump over but not drive through until you open it from inside.

Campaign: the epsilon only has one level, Tsavo Highway. first i played it alone on normal difficulty, i got to a certain part where there were 2 wraths and about 6 brutes on choppers, by myself it took about 20 minutes to finish. then i played co-op with a friend, i got to the same part and there were 4 wraiths and about 12 choppers. so the more people you have in co-op the more enemies you will have.

Other stuff i noticed was the gametypes Infection, described as the halo 2 zombies, and Hide and seek were built in. some of the armor choices were pretty cool looking, you can also change the voice from male to female.

The saved films are amazing, you can pause fast forward, take screeenshots, move the camera, cut out any parts you want saved. and more.

Tahts all i can think of for now so hope you like my review. lol

Scar violated an agreement with Xbox Live, he took advantage of a young kid's ignorance, and he disrespected a very respectable game developer by cheating his way into their Epsilon. Perhaps that last one is just my opinion, but it's pretty obvious Scar got what he deserved.

However Scar, you seem like an alright guy, and your job provides a much needed service for the Live community (As long as you don't try to sell that banned 360 to an unsuspecting kid), so I hope from here on out you can play clean.

I think Halo 3 blazes along at 60 fps a second. And Scar, how is the music in the game, and can you divulge anythin about the future missions after Tsavo from diolouge or cinematics?

Btw: You can just spoil the shit out of Epislon, and MS will just have to sit there, groooovin on it!

taht's cool -I looked and I got in total some 80k unique visitors (fcuked up all my graphs! lolol) which is *ahem* slightly more than the 400/day :)

Anyhoo, I'm just doing my blog by myself as a hobby, not really blogging, more linking to s1ht i come across and like myself. If anyone is interested in joining in, just give me a shout at homicidal (dottt) insomniac (aattt) yahoo.com -i got some ads running on it, but it's not meant to make money (though I soo got my Legendary Edition just about paid for because of this FTW!), so don't need anyone looking to make money (though I would share equally the 3 cents a day it makes, only fair right?). So if you surf a lot, and like to play with blogs and s1ht, just drop me a line!
(hoping the admins will forgive me this one time for this blatant recruiting under their noses lolz) Hey Scar, you should start your own blog man, like 'Scar-red for Life' or something -you must be the most famous gamertag in the world by now lolz

it depends. i think you could create a whole new account or something but they couldve possibly ip banned him which would suck though i suppose he could always set up a proxy or some shit. anyways, ya thats pretty dumb, but ive learned that a lot of people are pretty fucking dumb over the years. if youve ever read those "world's stupidest criminals" books or watched those tv shows that do the same thing then youll know.

btw, the world will probably still exist in 9999, and it's likely that humanity will too (assuming we don't nuke ourselves into oblivion.) but anyways, my point is that some scientists have estimated that the sun will probably last another half billion years, some say longer and others say shorter, but i think its pretty likely that the earth and humanity will last another 7 thousand years given the overall scale of geologic time. pretty crazy to think about though - 7 thousand years from now. that would make us like more ancient then jesus, the romans, greeks and even babylonians i think, in relation to how old they are to us now. just imagine the gaming experience!

Hmmm. maybe I can help out that stats by posting my story of getting banned from my bedroom last night because I played an illegal copy of "annoy the heck out of the wife". :)

Can anyone write a decent article on Scar?
Everyone is so rude these days.
Jealousy.

Here Scar. Here's an article just for you! One without jealousy, or hateful writings.

Scar was banned from xbox live recently for playing the Halo 3 Epsilon. His life will go on. Everyone seems to be writing about how he fixes xbox's, or how he has a high gamerscore, and how sad/funny it is. I think it's funny how many respectable websites stoop down to new lows of jealousy, just to write a article.

I always get messages from people who read here too, mentioned it tons cos I thought everyone else got them. I've had about 8 or so mention it on my console what your other tag is, but not given anything out or other such info;)

ummm Well I hope your not that Stupid cause I know someone who STILL has Epsilon and isnt banned cuz he is smart and by the way NO he doesnt work for xbox or microsoft in anyway. All you have to do is UNPLUG your internet wire or wireless adapter OUT of your 360 then play the game Offline of course but custom games were still available through system link and single player was normal. HA




Its the Epsilon, you cant play anything offline.

= appearing offline wouldnt have done anything, the whole time i was playing there was debug text running in the right corner and also the text in the bottom middle saying when i logged in and what my GT was. even if i appeared offline they would have still seen that.


its only a ban on the console/gamertag you played it on, i personally have 4 360s and my dad has one of his own, all of which work fine online, and yes, i can easily sign up for a new tag under the same address and name and IP.

The Halo 3 Epsilon test is not unsigned... im sure you read the story where a woman that works at MS got he son the epsilon then a couple guys stole his account and did the second profile glitch to get the beta off him, well they let some people do it then it blossomed into a good 100 people glitching into it, and i was one of them.

There such a thing as scheduled deletion, he needs to go into test network connection, then more info, then press Y for codes...a pop up appears with WXY&Z codes. If Z is 0000-0000 then he is not scheduled to be banned in the next update. If his Z code has other digits he's in ban waiting...lol

The epsilon beta was no way near as stupidly done as CoD4. Microsoft have banned people, will ban people - but because their phone people are so stupid you only have to call up & complain to unban anyway.

September 10th, 2007, 16:26
yeah but epsilon beta was never ment to be for the public like cod4 and its harder to moniter all the public players who have cod4beta while microsft/bungie obviously new who would be getting epsilon ,before hand and not just people who have signed up for it.

September 10th, 2007, 16:32
Meh in all honesty they broke the TOU and therefore got banned well played to them getting the game etc but wasnt really worth it are they able to create new accounts tho???

Also i found the foto most interesting u'd think "famous" ppl would stop making videos and taking naked fotos because they cant keep hold of them ah well i wont complain

No Chris they are not...

Halo 3 Epsilon is the name of the build of the program.

Beta in computer terms & not meant as build reference means 'TEST'

It is a Halo 3 Espilon Build, Program & or Epsilon Beta where Beta is used to describe it as test and not following from Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma...etc

LOL, trouble is I can't play you at that yet cos of your annon gamertag. I would need to join one of your matches whilst im in appear offline cos others would join through dashboard. I tried getting on yesterday, but it all went to fuck - wireless router crashed! and as always it happens really late and checking all the splitter things, & phone sockets does my head in.
