Yesterday, we informed you about the launch of the first flight/beta program for Halo Reach PC. And today, 343 Industries revealed that this beta build for Halo Reach PC has been leaked and illegally distributed online.
343 Industries notes that those that play this leaked beta build will get banned, and will be removed from current and all future 343 programs.
“It has come to our attention that the Halo Insider flight has been illegally distributed online. If you download or play this illegal copy, we have the right to ban all associated accounts and remove you from all current or future 343 programs.”
For those wondering, this first beta build for Halo Reach PC features an updated version of the build 343 Industries brought to E3 earlier this month which includes the Halo: Reach campaign mission “Tip of the Spear” and nothing more.
Halo Reach is the first game that will be released on the PC via the Halo: The Master Chief Collection. 343 Industries has also shared a video showcasing this campaign in 4K and with 60fps, so we strongly suggest watching it instead of playing the leaked beta (especially if you are part of the team’s Insider Flighting program).
Enjoy!

Game use Xbox Live which use standard microsoft account. This account is used for all MS services: windows login, xbox, skype, linkedin, github etc. Banned accounts cant be used with MS services. This is very similar to Google accounts which works not only for Gmail but also for Android and Chrome
I wait until they unFu.k all the console things from the game
This game use Xbox Live for online. Matchmaking, multiplayer and friends, cloud saves, campaign cooperation… all use Xbox Live. You can check Steam Page to verify this. You can’t play this game without “console things”. This game is fully integrated to Xbox Live and can’t work without it 🙂

Why you wont respond ? Eh?
fow low = console game !
Someone would have to be a massive idiot not to use a sockpuppet account and a VPN to play the leaked build of Halo MCC’s Test Flight anyways.
Oh noes, they’ll ban a throwaway account. Whatever shall I do?
“…which includes the Halo: Reach campaign mission “Tip of the Spear” and nothing more.”
Oh boy. One mission. Hold me back. Think I’ll just wait for the entire thing to be released.
Threatting consumers with bans for a beta build which only has one level of the game… yea right now i gonna go get it out of spite, i don’t respond well to threats even less to stupid ones like this when they should be encouraging ME to give them money.
