Death to the bastards that would dare screw with Bungie. I'm using some of my anger against them - i've already reported two download IPs, and will be on the lookout for anything else worth sending an e-mail about over the coming days.

I don't mind anyone pirating any other game, other games just are not halo 2 damn it! Anyway, I'm reporting for duty aswell.

Woah, somebody's in the office at Bungie Studios, on the webcam. Looks like Sketch to me, but I'm not sure... I'm bored..

Anybody who is stupid enough to jump the gun and try to play the game before everybody have a serious problem. Why would you spoil a group of people's hard work by pirating it? In the essence of Sarge from RvB: "That dosen't make a lick of sense!"

haha.. plz stop all this bs about defending bungie, peolpe.. there is really nothing you can do about it... these things happen all the time, but i was still a little shocked considering that there is less then a month till it's released... I won't dl though, cause i don't really give a -blam!-, I have no problem with waiting for the real american subtitle version! cause the version that was piratcopied had french subtitles! ( which btw would look like -blam!-)
in less then a month there will be a halo 2 special limited edition lying in between cards and stuff in my mailbox...


PS.: YES, i realize that the real resaon why I replied was that i could brag about getting the HALO 2 SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION! hehe;)

It's actually called Halo 2 Limited Edition... not Special... If people want to defend Bungie they'll just do that they don't need your permission...

I've been noticing a lot of people posting about how the loyal Halo community will personally rise up and kick this pirates ass.

Posted by: Sathe Athear
All Microsoft/Bungie need to do is, is when they find one of these bastards, they need to 'accidently' post the said persons details on these forums (Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.) and the loyal Halo 2 community would do the rest :)


First of all... You speak for yourself because I wouldn't leave my living room to kick his ass if the guy ended up living next door to me. Thats not my job, I don't get paid to do that, and it wont benefit me in any way shape or form from doing that...

Secondly, what's with people pledging an oath of loyalty to a corporation... Thats some scary -blam!- man especially if that corporation is Microsoft. I love Bungie and I love their games... I've played through every single one of them except for Minotaur. But I'm not going to swear my loyal to to them and declare, "Reporting for duty sir!" like a freakin' zealot...

Halo got posted to the internet (such is the video game business) If you look at the list of other torrents on the sites that have Halo 2 you can find about 70 other xBox games... Where is the outrage over those... Everyone swears up and down that they hate pirates but I'm sure every single one of you have downloaded some kind of intellectual property that you didn't own at one point in time (be it mp3s or movies or even just installing a copy of something a friend had on their computer) Does that justify this situation, of course not, but trust that Microsoft is on this like white on rice... for Christ's sake these are the same people who's counterfeit protection on their Windows Manuals is more elaborate than anything you would ever find on US currency...

-Klown

P.S. Yes I know I just registered today but that doesn't mean my point is any less valid and that most of you are getting worked up about something (a.) you have no control over and (b.) something that doesn't concern you (I pre-ordered Halo 2 and none of this will affect me grabbing my copy on Nov 9th and playing it till my grades are driven way below sea level and my friends start talking about me in the past tense)


I'm with ya on this...

The pirated copy has ENGLISH subtitles(and a fe other language subs) and french audio.

The subtitles are only shown during cutscenes though, so unless you know french you wont undertsand anything said during gameplay.

whoever did this should rot in hell. i'm definitely going to help out with this, and i'm equally sure to will protect this beautiful nation from being run by the low-lifes who do this. slaughterhouse01 reporting in, http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=2000201 &topic=16889917 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=2000201 &topic=16890743 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=2000201 &topic=16885303 and i'm pretty sure there's more around that place.

As I am just another humble Haloite, I would like to ask something of Bungie. When they and Microsoft find this golbin, can we hang him out side Bungie HQ from a light pole and shoot him with Battle rifles and SMGs? (looks crestfallen) yeah, ok. Maybe that was a little over the top, but I guess there are always those people out there that try and grief others. I'm with Thomas Mihael on this one. Arm up Spartans.

this is so -blam!-!! i cant believe someone would be that stupid and annoying not to wait until the game comes out on november 9th. Although i do know some people at my school who do this kind of stuff and get others to pay them for copies of games. Man i hate these people. I hope that the resources of microsoft will be able to hunt down and destroy those losers that did this horrible crime against us and bungie.
