An anonymous US gamer using the gamertag "Scar" managed to unwittingly download Halo 3 Epsilon. He played the game with his console connected to Xbox Live and quickly came to the attention of Microsoft. In September 2007, his gamertag and console account were banned until December 31 9999, resulting in the longest ban from xbox live ever.

-''Epsilon'' had several features not seen in the game, such as being able to spawn [[Shade]] turrets and [[Covenant watchtower|Deployable Lookout Towers]] in Forge. This can be seen in older ''Halo 3'' leaked footage, and the two aforementioned items have been modded into some multiplayer maps, all of them part of the ''Epsilon'' set.
