Don't send the guy any messages, some people did this and now their accounts are permabanned on xbox live.
That seems a bit harsh

Wouldn't that be incredibly illegal?
Setting up user accounts just the entice people to ask about the presumably pirated game?
That seems a bit harsh
I'm sure Microsoft read the messages. If they're requesting a link to the download, then they can fuck the hell off. And props to MSFT for doing so.
Friend of mine asked: " How are you already playing the game? I smell piracy"
got banned aswell.
They should contest that ban then, because that isn't right.
Yeah he is trying to fight for his account in the support chat lol, but the mail clearly states that the support can't do anything, don't know.
I didn't ven know that microsoft is able to monitor all messages and ban for the content without a report
Friend of mine asked: " How are you already playing the game? I smell piracy"

gotta be pretty dumb to ask someone how to ask how someone is playing a game nearlly a month early lulz sorry but people should know by now to keep themselves away from shit like this if they dont want any intentions of being banned or whatever
Check other posts by the people on that Se7enSins forum who have said that they got banned. They're pirating games and running flashed/JTAG consoles. Guess their luck just ran out.gotta be pretty dumb to ask someone how to ask how someone is playing a game nearlly a month early lulz sorry but people should know by now to keep themselves away from shit like this if they dont want any intentions of being banned or whatever

Like I said, check the other posts from the people that were banned. Here's one for example: -Se7ensins is not a piracy forum, It promotes modding and the line between both is fine but its unfair to tar everyone with the same brush.
Running a Flashed/JTAG/RTH console does not mean you steal games.
This is one of those people who got banned talking about another 360 game that leaked, which they were downloading from a torrent site. But yes, they totally got banned just for sending a message, I'm sure! None of them steal games! He was probably downloading a "legal backup".This has to be a funny hoax, but either way. I'm downloading too. Getting a steady 130kp/s now, and uploading just as much.

It just means you probably do.
The post I quoted comes from a thread entitled "its out for download" that's talking about Halo: Reach. He's talking about pirating Halo: Reach from a torrent site on the day it leaked. He mentions his download and upload speeds. But no, he's not a pirate at all.....Um, he got banned because he was downloading a file that may or may not of been Halo 4?

Couple of guys on se7ensins forums and a friend of mine
They all got banned for "playing a pirated copy of a game", although they just sent messages.
I have no idea what was the content in the messages, some may asked for uploading the game.
Fact is this account is being monitored and even the messages
Well, in future they'll know only to communicate by sitting in a barn, filming what happens on a grainy VHS and uploading that to YouTube.
So this is like any other normal Halo launch. Don't these games leak mad early every time?
They can ban you for looking at the screen the wrong way (they really could)
Friend of mine asked: " How are you already playing the game? I smell piracy"
got banned aswell.
I played Halo 3 and Reach well before street date (legitimate copies) and never got banned for it.
What's with the new policy?
Can the same not be said of people who run Hacked PS3, PSP's or Vita's because by that standard GAF is full of pirates
Well, if Halo 4 really has leaked, and it seems like it has, then I guess I need to start being extra safe about spoilers. The internet is now unsafe.

is this some weird extreme fan rumors made up by psychotic fans trying to 'prevent' spoilers for the game from leaking?Don't send the guy any messages, some people did this and now their accounts are permabanned on xbox live.

seems so.
You may be banned for any reason, or no reason.
Doesn't matter the context.
I hope those people get their Xbox Live membership (of whats left anyways) refunded oh wait they wont.
I agree about banning pirates but not mass banning people due to sending messages.
That's a review copy from their PR firm, guaranteed.
Super advance copies like that will often be shipped in a box with no cover or label.
343 gone and Bungled?
Big question is whether it was the French or us Aussies this time?
Sweet, I'm going to message him just for the lulz.
edit: I don't know how to message people who aren't on my friends list. Oh well.
I agree that some things about the discs look a little...off, but I don't know how you would fake the "Playing Halo 4" message on your Xbox Live profile...Halo Reach got leaked a few weeks before release date here in PR, mainly because they made the discs here but as others said, disc 2 looks really fake lol
