I just want to say something to the people saying that Microsoft can't do anything to the ones who leaked Halo 2.....

Wouldn't Microsoft have that game protected under national and international copyright laws? And isn't the illegal copying and distribution of a copyrighted product known as copyright infrigment? (sp?) So wouldn't Microsoft be well withing it's legal rights to sue them for every penny they have? Wait, the French don't use pennys do they?

Oh well, just like my bumper sticker says:
BOYCOT FRANCE!


wow now after ALL the hundreds of movies and pc games and software and music and xbox games and ps2 games and everything else that is pirated and copyright infringment laws why do you think this would be any different from those? because your army of fans is searching for the source of the leak? you make me laugh, this army of fans knows nothing of the underground world of the internet or how to come even close to scratching the surface these fans of yours are looking on websites and torrents and crappy p2p tools such as kazza you are so far from the heart of piracy its not even funny. antoher point is even if by some off chance this person was found that leaked the release of halo2 i can almost guarantee he lives in a foriegn country and then the us would have to extradite him for a copyrigth infringment? a high profile murder maybe but not for a copyright infringement, and even if they did get the extradition papers signed by a court and both countries the person would have more than enough time to pack his bags for finland where internet crime is not recognized as a criminal act.

Good! Im glad someone pirated Halo 2! Finally...

We people get pissed off when the date that Halo 2 was SUPPOSED to come out was LAST YEAR!! The push-backs of the game make it impossible to like the game when it finally comes out. I do appreciate that you want to make the game better, but seriously... dont lead us to think its coming out next month and then push it back again...

Whoever pirated Halo 2 is a genius and Bungie is lucky that a rebellion hasn't started up yet!

The November 9th release date has been set since late spring. Bungie's not postponing the release date just to mess with us. If you just want a quick game then stop playing Halo. Every day that we wait for Halo makes it even better when we finally get to play it for real.

Why the hell are you posting here for leaked pics? This is Bungie, not some halfassed website for downloading.

Clap clap calp, congratulations bungie you now have an army of 12 year olds. Just about every post on this subject has been posted by 12 year olds or younger. Your individual promises to bungie are noble but will never actually help. No you idiots its not coming to PC, you can play it with a modded xbox. My sincerest condolences to the entire bungie staff for all your hard work being stolen like that, but -blam!- happens. And with regards to Microsofts threats about "witness[ing] the firepower of this fully operational battle station" in its investigation with the leak, umm I would have to say a little too late there. Any one ever seen someone actually buy a version of Windows? Or a version of Office? Or has anyone ever heard of thier 64bit operating system Longhorn? I would supose not because its release hasn't arrived and its been out on the internet going on a year. Where is this battle station to stop piracy, and why is it just being released all of a sudden?
The only people or persons who are seriously screwd are the ones who actually put it up on the internet. As for the people currently downloading the leaked copy, they are pretty safe as far as truly being in a crock of trouble unless they decide to sign onto Live. And who can really blame them for downloading it? If your starving and food is right in front of you, why sit there and starve? My point exactly. As long as they don't start spamming me personaly with secrets from the game, I don' give a crap. There is only a small percentage of people who can even play the game, those with modded boxes. And two, they cant play Live from a game off of their hard drive. Well that may not be entirely true, but if they do they get the happy outcome of Microsoft banning their xbox.
You cannot stop it, so quit trying. Flame all you want, its useless. Bungie don't cry. Your hard work hasn't been tainted in the least bit and sales of the game will not be effected either. Microsoft quit making empty promises against piracy because PIRACY > YOU. And I guess I can say good luck to all the 12 year olds currently on the trail of the frenchman who pwned Microsoft yesterday. Heres to 11/9 and the joy we will still experience on Halo 2uesday.


This guy is right you know. I am seriously dissapointed that somebody would ruin all the anticipation, but really it can't be stopped. HL2 got leaked too to the best of my knowlege., but it got delayed. Props to Bungie for all their hard work and keeping the release date despite these loosers pirating the game.

If you're gonna flame me have fun. Slaes won't be touched. Have you seen how many people have responded in one way or another. I know two people who are getting two copies of the game. This could acctually boost the sales, because of dedicated fans being outraged.


Yeah is sux if you -blam!- gets stolenbut your not going to stop it.Jjust to let you know you can play a moded xbox on live and not get banned. Its called port blocking.
