Another thing is that in a couple of years when people stop playing halo 3 ( A sad day for all of us :squirrel_sad: ) what good will saying you had a rare armor in a game people don't play anymore do?
5 or 6 years I can definitely see... maybe bungie will have a new amazing FPS to replace it. But what will become of Forgehub? Maybe we'll have a "from the creators of forgehub comes an exciting new website guaranteed to knock your maps off! it's BUNGIE'SNEXTGAMEHERELOL HUB!"
WTF, HOW DESPRATE ARE PEOPLE TO GET RECON ARMOR!! ITS A FU**** TRAGEDY THAT SOME LITTLE BASTARD COULD HACK INTO SOMEONES PERSONAL FILE AND THEN STEAL THE INFORMATION, AND EVEN TAKE THE ACCOUNT OVER, ITS ALSO AN OUTRAGE THAT MICROSOFT WONT STAND UP AND DO ANY REAL RESEARCH TO HELP OUT THE CUSTOMERS THAT THEY SERVICE, MICROSOFT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE SERIUS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS FROM ANYTHING LIKE THIS! :squirrel_rant: :squirrel_rant: :squirrel_rant:
Big corporations like microsoft seem bent on making a situation worse. I mean cmon this guy got his account got hacked by some A@!# and they cant even 1.ban the account 2.Find the hacker (possible, but hard) 3.at least give his new account recon armor(actually this is presumed)
I can't stand hackers. I mean, when FOX blows this out of proportion like they did Mass Effect, its gonna be a huge blow to the gaming industry. I mean, a lot of gamers are under the age of legality in their country of residence. Parents are gonna start pulling the plugs on accounts because their credit cards are on there, because there is a huge risk of getting your identity stolen onlin--I mean onLive...wait... I mean, does anyone think this'll stay out of the news? If anything, it'll get more time in the news. What'll push it out? The new episode of...wait, strike. How about...? Nope, affected by the strike. And you know the funniest part of all? The account is still active, so its probably already been resolved, and by the time news agencies even here about "deranged lunatics steal identity and this...recon armor? A new look at Halo 3, coming at 11." Don't believe me?
I hate hackers. But more importantly. How did he snipe himself in the head. That's grade-A suberb-ness.
You would have to be pretty think to pull off something like this. Yay! You unlocked armor, however you are now wanted in all 50 states for identity theft. Seems like a good trade off to me... However, the one thing I strongly disagree with is the general negativity towards hackers here. While there aren't many left, there are some ethical hackers (hack either for the challenge or to help others find security holes) who sadly often get blamed as a stereotype. That is the biggest problem with the internet today, to me at least, is the general hate on hackers. Almost anyone who hates hackers in general, has no idea what they're saying. However, this hacker deserves what coming to him, I personaly would hate to have a company as powerful as microsoft after my butt for identity theft. Tim
Websites about map making can live on forever. Maybe Halo will be different, but some games that are just plain outdated still have map making communities. Warcraft 3 for sure has an active community, but it's been replaced by Starcraft II and World of Warcraft in terms of both storylines and gameplay. But it's still being used.
You know what, HALO IS LIFE (And Don't You Forget It!!) Now Someone who goes to a halo site and says people like us have no life, well THEY have no life!!! :squirrel_evil: :squirrel_evil: :squirrel_rant: :squirrel_rant: twiggles429, YOU ARE FAIL! ~mackmack5
