Banned
Let's see people come in and defend Microsoft again like they did when that other guy got banned for playing a legit copy early.
They will. It baffles me why people keep going back to MS after stuff like this.

Done.MS provide early specialisation code as per promotion that ran until Nov 20
Code has a glitch which allows users to download Crimson Map Pack for free
MS embrace the glitch and tells users to download, allowing them to play for a limited time
MS begins banning said users who who were encouraged to download their "glitch" DLC
That's fucking entrapment :lol
OP, probably chuck this in the OP for those who aren't aware
Microsoft is such a shit company. It's really sad how popular the Xbox has become and how willing people are to put up with their shit.

Now I'm curious as to what Nintendo's looks like. Do they even have one?

Downloading free content?
Sounds like a shady deal. They knew what they were doing.
What do they have to do with MS banning people?
Yep, so far users in the Waypoint thread are reporting bans from "H4 online features." I'll toss that in the OP.edit: appears it's just a ban from Halo 4?

They're banning people from Halo 4 specifically. Sounds like 343 HAS to be involved.
Who who what what
He is also mocking people from this thread.In this type of situation, it's best to do suck it up and do what EA did when they found out countless people exploited a promo code and got tons of games for free.
I'm not entirely clear on this myself; looking around online it seems like some people are saying they're straight-up XBL bans.
Clearly you should have gotten a receipt with that download!!
One user in the Halo thread stated it seems to be an XBL ban but I haven't gotten any other reports of users getting XBL bans only H4 bans. Guess we'll see for sure if/when this picks up.I'm not entirely clear on this myself; looking around online it seems like some people are saying they're straight-up XBL bans.
So how is this working exactly? It sounds like they have an automatic banning thing that's just making this mess worse. Surely it's not just banning anyone who had access to the Crimson download, considering people who bought the LE should have that content pass.
I got the map pack download/specialization code in my email and downloaded it before I even heard about the mixup, as I'm sure many people did. It's not right to ban people who did it after hearing about the mixup for multiple reasons, including the fact that 1. 343 came out and said it was a promotion and 2. how would they even be able to tell?
Hope they sort this out pronto. I think the game is great, but all of these weird PR mistakes are really grating.
People with season passes are being banned too.

Playing those maps for free is like STEALING. I say ban and charge their credit card for the cost of the maps that the thieves enjoyed at Microsoft's expense.
