listen guys, lets not get this out of all preportion here! there has been piracy since the days of the zx speccy, as a stundent of ecconomics and sociology there is a little thing which rules the world...ecconomic determanism! and we are all living in its unholy land.
i dont think the fact that this french version has been posted up on file sharing sites will hurt bungie's / microsofts sales in the slightest.
The people who want to play this game on live will have to buy the original copy and many people seems to think that it is a good thing to reward a company who have really spent time making this part of the game, what looks to be a deep and varied ( not to mention totaly cool ) experence. sure the one player game is something we are all looking forward to immensly but be honest after thats done we still have a mode which will provide near endless fun, the pirate copys dont get that and so will miss out.
sure it must be frustrating for the programmers artists, team members who have worked hard on the cinematic one player experence and dont want this spoiled, but listen u dont have to read these spoiler things, wait till some of the more reputable sites and mags review the game, these people know how to give u the gist while respecting the fact u want to live the experence, not hear about it from them!
what im saying is just wait till the 9th / 11th ( if your in uk grr! ) get ur game and play it : u know its going to be great, and nothing which has happend with this leaked version will change your experence unless you let it!
im a bit older and wiser than a lot of the players on the forum and unlike some i would have been more suprised if the game had remained under wraps till the date of release, there was just to much potential money to be made from the rip verison.
like most of you here my copy is on pre-order and has been for a bit now this will not change because it has been pirated.
unlike others on this board i don not hate or wish violence or other misfortune on the pirates either, as great as this game will no doubt be, it is only that.. a game! and no form of entertainment is worth enciting hatred over, there is already to much hatred in the world as things stand.
-my advice, forget the leak ever happened, buy the original and enjoy one of the best slices of digital entertainment im sure we will all have seen in many a year - and have fun, this is entertainment after all.
ill see u on the battlefield people ..keep it tight and check those corners : )
