I haven't downloaded Halo 2 nor do I intend to (at least not until the English version is released. This is not Minority Report so do not flame me for something I may or may not do in the future.

I only have 2 comments to make:

1. The average age of this forums' users seems to be around the 10 or 12 mark. The use of spelling, grammar and overall level of childish responses boggles my mind ("Master Chief" this and "Master Chief" that - it's just a game...)

2. Isn't the real issue here one of jealousy? Let's face facts: most of the people posting on this forum have pre-ordered Halo 2.

They are pissed that they have been beaten to the punch because thousands of people around the world are going to have already finished the game before their copy even arrives. So much for the concept of pre-ordering allowing children to boast to their friends.

The contents expressed in this message are my own opinion. I don't really care if you agree or not so please don't message me.

First, I am ready for action sir. I would like to add to those who think that Halo2 will be available for PC that NO! it will not. What's going on the net with the name of Halo 2 is only the Xbox DVD Rip, which means that it's an exact copy of the game which needs to be burned on a DVD and then you need some sort of Xbox chip to read this "False" Halo 2. I will be looking for these files soon. For now I must prepare myself for the upcoming Metallica gig.

Good luck Bungie!

Like Hell we're jealous! Believe me, even if I had not preordered Halo 2, I would be really pissed. In fact, you were the the first one just now to remind me that I indeed had preordered Halo 2. Shut your ignorant trap.

I see that you've made your b.net account today so i don't think that you should come in here and be such a wiseguy. Besides I think you should read the post I made for half an hour ago then you'd see that I don't want an illegal copy of Halo 2 and I'm therefore not jealous AT ALL. I'm angry that some guy are spoiling Bungies hard work and the excitement and good conversations that appears here on B.net. People also get mad at spammers or flamers because they screw it up for everybody else.
Don't comment the average age or spelling of these forums when you started today and haven't seen what posts and people that have been around. In Underground people are/where very good spellers and actually quite old.

There are other ways of telling people that you think they're wrong. You don't have to flame it just makes it worse...

While not near as serious as the theft of Valve's source code for Half-Life 2, a pirated copy of Halo 2 being destributed is a huge deal and someone should be smacked. First will start with the person who got the pirated copy then move on to the person that let it leak.

So can people play Halo 2 on PC with pirated copy or is it just the fear of it being able to be burned to DVD-R and destributed freely?

This has nothing to do with jealousy. This leak and all who download it are insults to Bungie's honor. This is about pride and having the maturity to wait until Nov 9th for this epic of a game to come out, and to respect the years of hard work Bungie put into this.

So far i would have to congraduate bungie on their efforts. Yesterday when i heard about it i went to see if any of the torrent sites i use were sharing the fie. Sadly enough over 40 people had already gotten the etire file, and were seeding, and another 180+ were still downloading, leaching, at the time. I sent my email, which i'm sure others did along with me, and then checked back on the torrent later last night. All i can say is that the file is no longer being seeded or leached. Don't try to say that peoples concencies got to all of them accross the world to stop stealing this great companies efforts, rather, it looks to me like Bungie is getting it done.

They might not be able to stop the fact that it has already been downloaded by some, but they can stop it from being downloaded by anyone else. They will just have to accept it.

Too bad Halo PC is still being downloaded by mad.

ok listen up u bastards who think that pirating and downloading halo2 is fine. Think microsoft cant stop it? Just watch them.....just cuz u have it downloaded u think ur soo -blam!- cool. Well guess wat, piracy is illegal and always has been. Its 5 yrs up to jail just so u no, and u dont even deserve to look at the game, yet play it. U also just ruin the experiences not for other fans, but for yourself. u wont be able to play halo2 on xbox live. xbox connect admins are alrdy starting to shut down halo2 servers until november 9th also. I bet u guys just wanted the game early so u can brag about beating it the first day. psh well come november 9th and we will kick ur asses inside and out. Downloading music......videos.....of the internet is not as bad as this and u no y? Its becuz the game isnt even out, and the music u download is for ur own personal use. Not ruin it for everyone else and act like a total jackass like some people are doing on these forums. most of u that downloaded it are -blam!-s and those of u who admitted to dowloading it are even bigger -blam!-s. U think we act like 12 yr olds (btw im 16) becuz of how we're acting? Well u -blam!-es act like ur 5 yrs old, bragging about -blam!- that people dont care.

anyone realize that sargey became a member only today? He has a point, if the pirates don't ruin anything then i am sure we all will not be quite so harsh, but still knowing that people are feasting on Halo 2 while we are searching for any tiny bit of info legally released about anything! # of levels, new weapons or vehicles, and many other things.


What has me joing today got to do with anything?
