Despite how pissed this has me and how much I like Bungie and want to help out I feel somewhat worried about looking for a link to report because of the fact the entire story could be ruined by opening the page. *Sigh*

Yeah, but we'll have to take the risk to bring justice to the world and to Bungie!


Yeah I realised that, and I'm looking for links to report

This news is absolutely mind boggling. I can't understand why anyone would pirate this game. This isn't any ordinary game, this is Halo 2 for crying out loud. I hope that whoever did this was not a bungie fan, because it makes me sick to think of a fan betraying bungie like that... I can't imagine who would do it.

For those of you asking question about how they are able to play it on their PC, that does seem interesting... My guess is that they aren't playing it on their PC, but merely using the PC as a means to download the game dvd, and then burn a copy themselves. I'm pretty sure the xbox has protection against this, so they must be playing on modded 'boxes. IF that's how they're doing it, it would seem that this pirated copy is limited in the number of people who can actually use it. But, I have no real idea how these things works, so I donno. Are there xbox emulators for PC?

I think, though, that this is the first time I'm really glad that bungie is now part of Microsoft. That sure gives them a lot more fire power in this area of tracking-down bad guys.

I'm sorry that this had to happen, bungie. But it's still going to be a great, amazing game on November 9th. Thank you all for what you've given to this community.

Just trying to help out. This site releases a lot of games. I would think the most likely to release a copy of Halo 2. Be carefull though, I heard that if you go there with no virus protection you get like 140 trojans. This site is extra bootleg, but if you didn't no Bungie, go to that site and check it out.

Its "supr" not super....thats no typo.

Sweet mother of god. Those greedy bastards, WTF! I think one of the best things about HALO 2 is the wait. Sure im anxious...but come on! Seriously. Anyone who would do this is NOT a Bungie fan. Nor do they deserve to be. Curse whoever did this. I am upset, and i have so much respect and appreciation for Bungie and the hard working people who put their life into this game. Shame on whoever did this and i hope they burn in hell. God bless Bungie.

Well fortunaly the torrent seed of Halo 2 they had have been removed. But I have still seen sites that have the seed.
Also the name of the one that upploaded it is elite, at least on a few that I have seen.

Well, I knew some B@#$ would attempt to do this, they knew some F@#$ would attempt to do this, but what they hadn't anticipated is that they will pay for doing this! I can't believe some jerk would do such a thing as to rip off the greatest game ever created, (aside from Halo 3, 4, ect, if they have one...Which we will find out on November 9th based on the story which those F@$# now already know and ripped off) and I will do my part to help. I would never rip Halo 2 off! I have already preordered, and I will make them pay!
So everybody,

Goddammit!!!! the nerve of some people.. I feel with all you great guys who worked your asses of on what sees to be a f***ing great game. But you can be sure that most fans will BE LOYAL! and purchase the game legally, and by that giving our support to U gyus. Wich i'm sure will someday bring us another great game.
We've waited a few years for this game, I think we'll be able to wait another 27 lousy days (oh man I just can't wait). Thanks BUNGIE. Øyvind from Hamar, Norway.

The suprnova mods are actually being smart about this and not letting the Halo 2 torrent up. They had one earlier which they deleted and are now not allowing any more to go up.

I've already submitted 3 sites which have it. I feel bad ratting out good torrent sites, but this is Halo 2. It really pissed me off that some people will have beaten the entire game by the time it comes out.

This really pisses me off, I've been waiting patiently for the greatest game in the world, HALO 2, to come out, and some a-hole goes and places a pirated copy of it on the net. I hope that they get what is coming to them, they shouldn't have messed with bungie and microsoft, but especially not the die hard fans, they have a huge army of fans on their tails now. The ones that did this should consider themselves marked for death. They better hope that they aren't found by anyone cause if they are, microsoft is going to make their lives miserable.

I did find a website that has it. Its http://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/view_32335.

if you give bungie the link to the torrent on those sites that had the name of the first uploader they might be able to track the F****r down, those with the latest bit torrent programs could even try and catch the ip of the bastard
