After I had pre-ordered Halo 2 and found out that it had been leaked a month before it's release, I felt absolutely shattered. Luckily I managed to track down a site that was promoting spoilers and quite possibly downloads for Halo 2 and sent the link into the Microsoft Piracy place.
How do you like them apples ye filthy pirates!?

I cannot believe this, the fact that it is coming out in 21 days and people have to ruin others expieriences. Looking back at earlier posts, i have seen many sites containing spoiliers, none of which i have read (thank god).

May the dove of peace Crap in their mouths( the pirates)

I'm not french, so honestly I could care less....But blaming a whole culture over a game that a french guy didnt even steal? Also, after going back through the posts there have been no less than 100 remarks towards the french.


@Ikkon, You remark about braggin rightd - were you referring to the leakers or the people downloading it.

If its the downloaders I would agree that alot of them are doing it just to brag, but the leakers dont do it for braggin rights. I cant speak for the halo2 leaker, so I wont try to give a reason for him/her. I know that in the piracy field that the only thing you ever hear from the release groups is in a form of a .nfo file with the release.

If they went around bragging they would be caught in no time. The only groups thats are ever busted are the ones who were caught selling the crap they pirated...and even I will agree they deserve what they get.

Also, I went through here and checked the posts from the people who posted links to the download sites.

Funny thing, around the time of the links being posted the majority of the torrent sites had MAJOR spikes in downloaders.

Bungie made a big mistake in letting this forum get out of hand , as it made a big contribution to what they were fighting against.

Bla bla bla bla bla, that -blam!- german did it!!!!!!!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pre-ordered halo 2 3 MONTHS before release and now this happens.
Microsoft thinks that the game has been stolen from the factory where it was mass-producted. I also heard that the might be 3 gigabyte or 9 gigabyte. Hell thats a big game!
Gonna wait for DOA Ultimate know, will be sweet for some weeks than. You should check out that game, really great. Its like that Halo 2 will be da best FPS for XboX and Dead or Alive Ultimate the best beat 'em up for the XboX. Gonna wait till november 11th.........

Really, I'm just waiting to see if this guy in my school actually gets in trouble for piracy. I reported him on Friday but don't expect anything to really happen until either late today or tomorrow. I mean, the guy posted pictures of himself playing Halo 2 on the net for everyone to see! Is it just me, or is that stupid?

jbSPINE, it's 4.6 GB.

It's 2.8 compressed, but you cant do anything with it while its compressed. ONce it's un-rar'd it is around 4.6.....just a little to big for a dvd5.

My Gamer tag is "Chad7535" and i'd be more than happy to make some friends :-) see... i live in WV and all my friends play HL and starcraft, which are cool mind you but they refuse to buy Live because they are homo-blam!-. so im left by myself with a bunch of douches that bash everyone in the game you play. I bought the freaking game today people and this is the first time i've played it! so dont bash me and GIVE ME A LITTLE CREDIT!!!! ... ... im sorry... got a bit carried away :-) :-\

Someone on www.gamefaqs.com's boards knows who did it, I think. This one guy is a troll and posted about how Halo 2 sux and he could just be a fool (who angers me greatly that he would DARE say something like that) or he may know something. I will keep looking around the net. I'm close...I can feel it.

Yeah.. Man!!! I (almost) can't wait to 11th november when it comes out at my place... Just waiting for the pre-ordered game, and the news that tells us that MS and Bungie has nailed the -blam- leaking jerks....

I agree umm yeah. They definitely dropped the ball in regards to this thread. I sort of gave up telling people not to post links. No one seems to have read the previous pages. It also seems that this forum was a perfect place for xboxhacker to troll. People kept feeding him and feeding him. Just completely IGNORE trolls! I reported him to a few different sources and i don't think anything came out of it. Maybe he's banned now....but it was a LOT late. It's understandable to one degree b/c they are busy....but you would think they would have watched this thread more closely than the others. Oh well.
Oh and on a side note; which file did they take out? Just curious. A video file would make most sense. I saw u mention a DVD9. I'm not familiar with this size dvd. Is there some sort of hassle with burning this, that would cause the downloaders to put it on a dvd5? Might as well get something out of this thread, like a little dvd knowledge. lol

This forum has totally flipped and it happened somewhere after page 64, its all a big laugh from there on consisting of personal insults and bad tag lines. The Bungie crew must be having nightmares of this fourm. Its just a big mob out for leaker blood.
