Bungie planned a wipe of in-game credits to level the playing field, and it was believed they’d do it today ready for launch. It fired last week.
Last Thursday to be more exact as Bungie revealed in their Weekly Update blog that the credit wipe had already taken place so those who own a legitimate copy could play Halo: Reach without worrying they’d lose all their hard earned in-game bucks.
”Tyson also dropped by and wanted us to inform everyone that the Credit wipe we told you about last week has been initiated and that if you’ve gotten a hold of a legitimate, legally obtained copy of Halo: Reach, please feel free to fire it up and play,” said Bungie.
The studio and Microsoft has already spotted a number of dirty deeds online with Halo: Reach and are awaiting the best moments to strike. ”We will be ready, watching, waiting, firing at will on people who deserve it. We have all sorts of new fancy tools at our disposal now and as we start to come up to full speed we’ll be engaging all of them.”
”Voice bans, host bans, console bans, gamertag bans, credit bans and the automatic habitual quitter penalty are but a few of our sharply honed weapons hungering for blood.” Halo: Reach releases exclusively on Xbox 360 tomorrow globally. If you’re in the UK then there’s a chance for you to grab if pretty darn cheap at Tesco.
