I don't know how much the rest of you know about leaker culture (I'm an expert), but truthfacts and accountability are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in games journalism where you can become successful by lying to your audience. If you mislead someone as a leaker, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is that GAF, after hearing about this, is not going to trust CBOAt's posts again, nor will they give him credit for earlier, correct, leaks. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but CBOAT has alienated an entire forum with this move.
CBOAT, publicly apologize and stop posting anything negative or disparaging about Xbox One or any of its Games or you can kiss your account goodbye.
The problem with this theory is that the Beta already had the changes and CBoaT still stuck to his story.What if the resolution WAS 720p and the textures WERE alpha but Respawn wanted CBoaT dead so they changed it all at the last minute?

There's no way they would have used the alpha textures in the final game. To me, the resolution seems like Microsoft not wanting anything to be 720p.What if the resolution WAS 720p and the textures WERE alpha but Respawn wanted CBoaT dead so they changed it all at the last minute?

Wait, why is cboat banned again (somewhat arbitraily I might add since he does't post that much anyway)? It's because out of all the things he's gotten right, he got a few things wrong? I'm not saying this to be snarky, but am genuinely curious as I haven't been following Titanfall all that much.
Evillore said:You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use NeoGAF to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory,
I still believe in you, CBOAT.
He has made a lot of right calls over the years. His recent missteps have been curious. It's unusual for him to make mistakes like this. I hope he returns with information that he is sure is accurate.
You don't seriously believe this, do you?
Cboat deliberately spread fud with this latest rumor. He should be banned.
Why even bother with the 72 hour ban? The guy rarely even posts.
Well, if that's the case, so then ban him permanently? Set a precedent that you can never be wrong ever about anything?
ntkrnl promised a Titanfall-skinned Xbox One for the mass market and now that's not happening so do you still trust him? "B-b-but he's a controlled leaker." Well, ok, but then we'd still be bending the rules for someone.
I'm not for drawing hard lines like that. At this point, CBoaT should probably just be done with us anyway.

Hahaha No... He's getting banned right?

He was talking about both, resolution and textures. Also why would respawn care so much about proving Cboat wrong? They're not even owned by microsoft.If you have more plausible reasoning for the curious resolution of 792p, we're all ears.

Well....what group wanted the ban?
The reason I don't want a perma-ban for CBOAT for this is because this does not deserve a prema-ban. People get things wrong sometimes, I understand that. That is why there should be different level (severity) of bans. Most leakers on gaf try to get some sort of confirmation before posting on gaf. (If they don't then they usually don't post on gaf but rather go to tweeter, like Thuway and Famous of done in the past). That's what we have right now and it works great. This is one of the reasons I trust most leakers on Gaf, which is something I cannot say for other places.
Well...at least some of it has to be fanaticism. Dude literally said for Xbox fanatics to clean his ass out with their tears, lol.

Is this true? I must have missed that post.

I think the FBI did something similar to Keri Russell in The Americans.

Well, duh. I didn't believe it was going to be upgraded to 900p despite it tearing and dropping into the 30s.
