Many Halo players love going to as close to the cold forged steel face of the banhammer as much as possible, but this guy is getting sent to the hospital with blunt force trumma and possibly a lawsuit from the fine ninjas at Bungie and Microsoft.

Let this story be a lesson kids, don't -blam!- with Bungie or Microsoft.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

I can see him getting thrown in jail. What he did was illegal, hacking into copyrighted material and all. He claims that he did nothing wrong, that Achievements are not copyrighted, but in fact they are a part of the game, and since the game is copyrighted, so are the achievements.

Of course not jail, but he will be having very empty pockets soon.

What good could come out of this is that Microsoft will be able to patch up there exploits. Sadly, it had to happen to Bungie, and not some crappy game maker, I'm looking at you EA.

This dude is right.

this is ridiculous. i hope he ends up in jail. he ruined the fun of the game and did it illegally.

  • 06.25.2009 1:51 PM PDT

I just hope those achievements are fake, so many spoilers in them. WHY DID I LOOK?!

If they were copyrighted each achievement would have TM after it, like the game title and characters do.

No nothing he did was illegal, he did not have the game an meraly glithched XBL to make it look like he had it, no legal action can be taken since avhevements are not copyrighted, he will only get banned

  • 06.25.2009 1:56 PM PDT

In my opinion it's Microsoft's fault for allowing game IDs to be broadcasted so freely on Xbox.com. I haen't looked at the achievements, except unfortunately the vidmasters when someone in a group posted them without a spoiler warning, but I don't know about any of the ohters.

This guy shouldn't be thrown in jail, while I believe it was morally wrong of him to do this, he was technically just using a product in an unorthodox way. He should just get IP banned from Xbox Live.

  • 06.25.2009 2:00 PM PDT

So technically he revealed to the world Halo 3: ODST achievements, and yet, he threatens Microsoft and Bungie that if he gets banned, he'll reveal more stuff?

That statement can give me many troubles, and they can take legal action against him.

I just can't wait to see how the Bungie ninjas will assassinate him. Poison dart? or the hot molten edge of the energy sword shoved slowly into his back by Stosh.

The Microsoft ninjas will be to busy, passing bureaucratic papers around.

  • 06.25.2009 2:04 PM PDT

Am I wrong, or hasn't there been a few people with all the achievements? I thought I remembered someone bringing it up a couple months ago. And I thought I have seen at least 5 more since. But the article keeps saying he is the first one. Did anyone else remember seeing all the achievements awhile ago and many other times?

  • 06.25.2009 2:07 PM PDT

Please get rid of those links. I'd hate to have a honest person have to eat the banhammer.
Edit: Never mind, that's the non spoiler version.

It's ironic. I'd never heard of this despite him apparantly hitting the BBC news... and yet now because of you OP, I now know all the ODST achievements.

You're just as bad in a way :)

He's probably some punk 21 year old college drop out living in his mums basement and flips burgers for a living. Then he comes home and does stuff like this to get attention. And his claim for local news is just a cry for help.

No not really, Achievements are hosted by Microsoft, and have no part in the game, when you do something in the game it unlocks the achievement on the dashboard, which is Microsoft.

You guys need to chill, nothing happened to me, apart from I got hit with a platinum custom made ban hammer. Besides they cant sue me or throw me in jail I am 16. One last thing that article that was written had so many false accusations.

1. I said I tried Recon armor but it didn't work.
2. I said I would release more achievements if I was going to get banned or not I never pacifically said that "I will release more if I get banned", but now I see that I shouldn't of, and I am not going to.

It was not my fault that Microsoft has weak security, it really was a simple process, and in my opinion most of you guys loved that you saw the achievements, yet again "THERE ACHIEVEMENTS".

Remember that guy that stole a Bungie employee account and got the Halo 3 epsilon? What happened to him, JUST A BAN. Well for the people that didn't want to see them I apologize sincerely, its just that the article was written way over the top and made it seem as if I committed murder, all I did is display some words and images. Tell me guys what is illegal about that?

P.S: RIP Michael Jackson, he just passed away at the age of 50.
