Halo Leak's and me
By RageGummy 17 Comments
In 2001, I first stepped into the shell that is Master Chief and played my first FPS. I remember learning how to take down shields and finish with headshots, instead of just rallying off bullets into a Elite until it falls over. Fast forward nine years, and I'm still as mad for Halo as I was when I first set foot on the ring world. This time though, theres a problem.
Its 21 days till Halo:Reach hits the shelf's of your favourite gaming store, but yet hackers/modders/knob jockey's(Delete appropriate) have managed to extract the game from Microsoft's servers and its now being circulated around torrent sites, videos have started to appear and there's one that has caught my eye. Its a full campaign video that is hosted on a streaming site, it plays threw the entire game and its starting to eat my soul.
Iv been thinking why it bothers me so much that they have it or more who to blame for it being out in the wild. Do you blame Microsoft, there keeping it on secure servers and using there system were they can send out a redeem code to a reviewer and get the game this way. That saves having Disk's flying around, or having people travel to the campus or a hotel(even though that is what Jeff's doing this week) to play it for a few days. What do they do when someone breaks there system, should they release it for download via marketplace so less people get it as a copy and more people can play it without any worries of seeing any leeks.
Who ever is to blame, I know that every evening that I come to sit down at my laptop I'm going to have to be careful what I click and where I look. I don't want to be having to do this for another 21 days, so the video may get the better of me.
