I would like to help, but I don't know where to look...I've done the obvious searches, but I figure someone that Pirated Halo 2 wouldn't be so dense....also, Microsoft and Bungie I'm sure have already checked such pages. If anyone has an idea of where to start. Message me or talk to me through AIM-Thisguyhere44

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

This is truly sickening.

What kind of pudgy, pimply faced, slack-jawed, inbred 32-year-old-living-in-mom's-basement sorry excuse for a human would do this?!

I hope whoever he/she/it/they are, they are brought to justice.

And I'll do my part, by buying a second copy of Halo2 on top of my preordered one =)

(yeah I know, thats kinda ridiculous, but I already have 2 Xbox, so what the hey. Then I'll be able to play system link games that much easier!)

Bungie start hireing some bounty hunters if we can't find them! Oh and a resinable price for them would be $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Poor Bungie. How annoying. -_-

And poor me, too. Having to avoid spoilers for the next month. Better smash my PC so I'm not tempted to read any threads entitled "OMG!!1 HAl0 2!!!." *Nods*

No worries, though... I'm buying 4 copies on launch day, hopefully along with millions of others. I just hope this doesn't hurt sales or mess with the community. I really hate it when people leak things. >_<

Good luck finding em'! We're on your side. *Comfort*

First of all, all of you that posted thinking that this "release" of Halo 2 is going to instantly be on PC is....downright ignorant. Second of all, you all need to calm the -blam!- down, take your rids and accept things like this can and will happen. I don't personally have a copy myself, nor plan on it, nor give a rats ass. Just all of you being like: "OMG LETS GO OUT AND CATCH US SOME PIRATES". Right guys, right. Nothing gets on the internet before it comes out, not ever. Ever, ever ever....ev...oh wait, everything does. Either go cry to your mommies or deal with it, but I think most of you are going to do the first thing.

Yeah, complacency is always the best answer.

Just beause this crap happens frequently doesnt make it any more right.

why are you posting? go find your precious pirates so you can try to use it as a pickup line when you talk to a girl the first time in your life.

"hey baby, i caught the guy that pirated halo 2!.....hey? where are you going? come back!"

Truthfully, if you really want to save the game for yourself all you really have to do is ignore the people who are offering the game to you early. Some people think that having it this early makes a difference. Wheras I believe that the hype surrounding Halo 2 isn't neccessarily about who gets it first. I think the real fun and excitement will be all the people playing on Xbox Live on November 9th....the calls and conversations friends will have between each other about the single player...the LAN parties that will go on between friends and "enemies". To have the game this early....I dunno, it would be more dissappointing to me.

The game is 75% of the excitement, the rest is about who's playing it with you and the connection you get.

But that's all in my opinion...

Man, why would somebody do this, the game is a month away, so they decide to possible hold it off longer because somebody desperately wanted a French version. I will personally see to it that you die a horrible death.
