Yeah, I can think of a dozen or so guys that are doing the best they can to help stop this. Thanks for keeping things exciting over at the Xbox forums guys. :)

I will KILL those damn pirates.

Okay maybe not kill, but rather beat them over the head and then cut their pirated Halo 2 in half and cut their nose with it.

You figure that 3 thousand people have the Pirated copy by November 11th

By November 11th, 5 million people have the legal copy of Halo 2

Plus, those gamers with the leaked copy might get jealous of XBL, buy an Xbox, get an XBL good gamertag, and get the actual copy of Halo 2. A COMPLETE waste of money, but hell they'd get away w/ it.

BTW, kudos to spnkr. He knows what he's talking about


What you fail to realize is that they don't NEED Xbox Live. People who get bootlegged games use tunneling software like XBOX CONNECT to play online. I am not opposed to Tunneling Software, but tunneling software should have a few regulations placed on it. All they (bootleggers) have to do is wait until the 9th, and then they can start playing thier bootlegged Halo 2 disc over the tunneling software (XBC) which fools system link games into playing over the internet using high-speed (And for some games like RS3, 56k) Internet. it actually works, and is a free alternative to XBL, however with no downloads. It's a good idea for those who can't afford LIVE. However, it's also the playground of bootleggers, and needs to take some steps in stopping bootlegged games from being ran on thier servers. It's a serious problem, and needs to be addressed

1: The spoken dialog in the game is french, and has several subtitles in different languages.

2: All chatter throughout the game is again French, so the game did not come from a north american source.

3:Your not going to find this game by google. I can name no less than 30 sites that have this game right now. Most are removing it from the servers. The game has officially been "Nuked" by most release groups

-Meaning, they wont source it out.

4.Like I said I have a modded box, by I have pre-ordered several copies of the game. Without LIVE halo is a average game.

5:Most of you are hypocrit's, Some of you say that you wouldnt be mad if it's pirated after....but are because it's before the official release?

Bungie is losing money either way arent they? Dont get on your high horse and crusade against this piracy if your not willing to stand up against ALL piracy.

6:Stop with all the ball cutting, hangin, lynching crap. It makes you all sound retarded.

preparense para lo que venga

i'd just like to say for all the people anxiously waiting for Halo 2 that i know in my city, we'd like to express our anger towards this unfortunate incident.......even though saying "unfortunate incident" is towning down our emotions by a-lot, i just hope who ever started this and who ever is following with these PIRATES get caught and punished learn a valuable lesson you dumb-M-F-ers. No matter what though BUNGIE you have our support and we are still counting down to line up and buy our Limited edition version of the masterpiece you worked so hard to give us the pleasure to play.

Its very true that they can always use XBC. I was on xbconnect and there talking about halo2. Ppl are playing it too, on xbc. However, if u got on da website, u'll c that the admin (biohazard) is not supporting this and is gonna ban anyone who plays halo2 on xbc. He has shut down some of the forums, and most likely he will shut down the halo2 being played, as well as ban the accounts.

I can't believe it actually came to this. It happens to some games but how could a copy of halo 2 fall into the hands of a total retard. I mean this is HALO2 we are talking about i thought after the whole Half-Life 2 things bungie made certain precautions to keep this from happening. But here we are a little more than a half a month away and someone couldn't resist to put it on the internet.

All i can say is weak extremely weak =:(

NTSC stands for the National Television Systems Committee, it is the colour video standard used in North America, Canada, Mexico and Japan


PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line, it is the TV standard used for Europe, Hong Kong and the Middle East.


It's basically the signal that tv and such use in different areas, and the leak is PAL
