MS Warns console bans If You Play Gears of War: Judgment Illegally

[Loose]

Microsoft has vowed "vigorous action" against those who illegally download Gears of War: Judgement, as a leaked version appears online over a month before the game's 22nd March release date.

The apparently-complete version of Judgment appeared on internet torrent sites overnight.

"We are aware of isolated cases in which Gears of War: Judgment content has been propped on the web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation immediately," a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer this morning.

"Consumers should be aware that piracy is illegal and we take vigorous action against illegal activity related to our products and services."

A similar situation occurred when Halo 4 leaked online before its release last year - although not as long before release as Gears of War: Judgment. Microsoft was left battling spoiler videos after the game appeared on a number of download sites.

Users with a pirated copy of Halo 4 who played online also faced the wrath of Microsoft's banhammer. Anyone found playing a leaked copy before release risked a lifetime console ban from Xbox Live.

Microsoft has promised the same treatment this time around.

"Playing pirated copies of games, such as Gears of War: Judgment, is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use and will result in enforcement action, such as account and console bans."

An unfinished but playable version of Gears of War 3 was also leaked prior to release. The build appeared online more than two months before its September 2011 launch date and spoiled a number of campaign plot points.

Judgment is the first Gears game to be developed at Bulletstorm developer and Epic Games subsidiary People Can Fly. The original Gears team at Epic is now working on projects unknown.

I tried to play. It was one of the first games that was supposed to have a great campaign that i just skipped in favor of multiplayer, which i got bored of pretty quickly as well. Theres just not enough variety in their weapons. They havnt added much to the series in terms of weapons. Not much imagination down at epic. If ratchet and clank can have a bunch of new weapons i cant see why epic cant come up with more new ones.

It comes down to what you just said here. When you look at games like Uncharted and how they flow from level to level its pure entertainment and action. With Gears its like same boring shyt over and over again.

The ending was a good ending, but the whole thing outside of that and Dom was forgettable.

The harsh truth about GoW is that it never evolved throughout the course of 3 games and many years.

The gameplay and feel of Gears Trilogy from beginning to end change so little, it's a damn shame because the 1st was awesome and innovative.

I'm trying to remember the ending....was Marcus on a beach or something? I'm at work so I can't look at youtube or anything.

Marcus kills the queen, I can't remember all the details, but the final fight and the ending left me satisfied with the conclusion.

The game was a huge disappointment though.

OK I was talking about the ending cutscene I guess...but yea the Queen is dead and so is her giant bug. I think I missed the part about why the queen was a human.

Nobody is going to buy this game anyway

 

[DStyles]

Don't see the point of even playing this early. Are the servers up and running for online multiplayer?

I mean, who the fukk even bothers with campaign these days. Them CoD developers don't even bother with that shyt anymore.

That's what i`m saying, after 3 everyone I know was done w/ GoW. Most didn't even make it through 3.

I didn't even fukk w/ the multi-player once I beat it traded it in for $30 bucks to at least get half the value

 

[CoolazzFemale]

never played it before
