    Halo: MCC Just Arrived


    Throwing a hissy fit at Badger for pointing out actual terms and conditions of the Forums is as silly as freaking out that you're going to be banned for playing a legitimate copy of the game that arrived a few days early because of the US release date.

    And Nelson does have a point because it does scream "Hey look at me" when people ask questions to stuff they already know the answer to.

    Nobody has ever been banned for playing a legitimate copy of a game early. Ever.

    And we're on the 3rd generation of XBox Consoles.

    Certainly not 'attention seeking' at all, on my part anyway - As it was obviously aimed at me.

    Yes, I've played alot of games early, as recently as, Alien:Isolation and in the past FIFA, PES and pretty much any other game I've received before release date. I didn't go making threads about them.

    The reason I made this thread is because, well... Halo IS Xbox, pretty much and we know how Microsoft can be when their stuff gets out early. I don't mind playing the 'lesser' games early at all. But all you have to do it Google about Halo 4 playing early
    bans, to see why I asked the question. Maybe those Halo 4 were illegally downloaded copies though, who knows.

    So yes, I asked the question, read Halo Waypoint forums, saw that Az had played it this morning and decided I might aswell.

    So I don't see why that Silver Nelson troll has to come and start arguments.

    Well it might seem "aimed at you" because you're the OP here but it's more a generalisation.

    Nobody has ever been been banned for playing a a legitimate copy early.

    I did get a 24 hour ban from Twitch when I broadcast "The Evil Within" for a friend because Bethesda have a "don't share our games before the release date... don't even talk about having played them" policy that I wasn't aware of. They used being the copyright
    owner of the game as their justification to have the content taken down. Not something that I have a problem with and a policy I would have had no trouble respecting had I known at the time.

    The only trouble is when people are doing something they shouldn't... they feel guilty... and that's why your "Should I play this game early" thread could be miss-interpreted as being the same as those "I was playing a game of COD this morning and before
    I knew what was happening... I prestiged 9 times in the lobby... I had no idea it was modded... do you think I'll get a ban"?

    Halo: MCC Just Arrived

    I was one of the ones that received a ban for playing Halo 4 early, but the ban was dropped the next day when they realised all those who had received it like me were playing legit copies and that the ban was an automated mistake.

  5. Considering Major Nelson (the real one) was streaming Halo MCC on Twitch last night I really can't see anyone getting banned for playing it early.

    Warning to anyone playing HALO 2 on Co-Op.

    There are parts of the game where you cannot proceed unless both of you stand in front of the door.

    My wife and I spent 20 minutes looking for a way out of the massive Elevator Room on the first mission and only realised this after watching a walkthrough.

    Keep it in mind and spare yourselves some grief.

  7. Your wife plays video games? My wife is either at work, at the gym, or demanding I take her out FIVE nights a week. But strangely she has ZERO interest in video games.

    Halo: MCC Just Arrived

    Like Mr Badger said it is in the terms and conditions now about playing new releases early and I know Pesty posted he was one of a few that got banned for playing Halo 4 early but that was overturned the next day when they realised it was a legit copy, I've
    never heard of anyone else being banned for playing a legit copy early.

    My son asked me was it ok about a month back to play ( he received a game early from Simplygames ) so I sent one of the enforcement team a message just to clarify the position on this, explained it was a legit copy etc, basically the message I received back
    was ... "Enjoy but please refrain from posting spoilers on YouTube etc as not to spoil anything for the rest of the community" .....

    Ok not a straight "YES" but I took that as one lol

    I believe as long as people are not stupid, receive a game early and start posting spoilers for others then you shouldn't have no worries.

    I have no inclination what so ever to get this game. Feel like im th eonly one not getting it. Admittedly im not the biggest Halo fan but have njoyed all the games. I just dont get what all the fuss about this collection is tbh.

    As for anyone getting legit games early, Play them, If they ban you they will undo it. Technically they dont have a legal leg to stand on unless they put a warning when you boot up the game telling you not to play it before a certain date. If you then still
    go ahead and play it you deserve to be banned.

    Yes Mrs Azrael enjoys her video games.

    I think her Wizard in "Diablo III" is Paragon 70.

    When they let the HALO Upload clips show publicly you can watch her bagging her first Elite.

    It was a proud moment for both of us.

  12. Nothing wrong with anyone having a partner that likes to enjoy video games Halo: MCC Just Arrived :)

    Lofty lmao that's a yes to me too, or that's how I would of read it.

    Either way its the 11th and I still haven't had a chance to play it lol. I have to go out shortly so there isn't any much point in my playing it now, I'll just wait till I get back. Hows it holding up for everyone? Halo: MCC Just Arrived :D
