Early Halo_ ODST Players Won't Be Banned (So Long As They Bought A Copy)

Published on January 01, 0001 by Chef Mia

Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, you’re French. And somehow, your local game store

was selling copies of Halo: ODST weeks before it was meant rummy 51 to be out. Then Microsoft threatens action. You’d think “action” meant “XBL bans”, right?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/microsoft-taking-action-against-those-who-buy-and-play-5346774 Gladly, that’s not the case. Well, provided you bought the game, at rummy best any rate. Xbox Live Chief of Police Stephen Toulouse has issued a brief statement saying that while Microsoft are looking into how this whole mess

rummy golds took place, “we will not be banning legitimate customers from Xbox LIVE who play

early”. http://kotaku.com/362810/the-xbox-live-police Glad we got that cleared up. Microsoft refused to clarify the situation with us yesterday, so it’s nice to see that things have been sorted out. So if you’re French, speak English, are reading this and managed to get one of those copies…play away! You got lucky, hope you’re enjoying it. If, however, you’re in possession of a copy not procured through innocent, legitimate means…well, you deserve what you get. [Stepto @ Twitter]

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
