I have heard that there is a way to find a link on Google. Bungie should send a platoon over to the link and crush it. For Halo2 and The seventh column.

man, this is terrible. The day Halo 2 was stolen, I was informed by my friend on XBL. I assumed he was lying, but the next day i checked the net. He was RIGHT! Now, my quest is to find all pirates of Halo 2 and crap on their porch. Then... i'll kick their asses in a few rounds of Halo to put them in their place. But, seriously, us gamers have to do what we can to keep Halo 2 a mystery until November 9th. Until then, lets kill us some pirates.

Damn,that is a good idea spartan 81, i should start doing that and fuk all those pirates. When theyare in jail they should get someone to play halo 2 in front of them all day long forever!! lol But i think that the waitfor halo 2 is the best part and thos tards didn't have the patience/respect towards Bungie! Long live Bungie!

We should locate these sinister perpetrators and break their thumbs to inhibit them from playing their distastefully attained pirated copy of such a marvelous and beautiful game such as Halo 2. I will try to get in deep and find some nerds who may know about this.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm not angry about Halo 2 being leaked.......I seriously think that the story line is exactly the same as the first one. San Andreas hasn't been leaked yet and I don't know anyone who has or has downloaded the leaked Halo 2 but from what I have heard.....it truly sucks, I will definately be buying a PS2 for SA......Has anyone had a good look at the San Andreas trailers?? the Graphics are soooooooooooooooooooooooo much more superior to Halo and Halo 2, the Halo 2 trailer that I have seen so far, the graphics are patchy and non textured properly, hey Bungie can't even make the Master Cheifs helmet visor make reflections of things in front of him.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut good bloody luck in finding this guy, I think that from what I have heard from forums etc etc that you will be very very very dissappointed.

It's bungies fault for not keeping better tabs on halo 2. A game of this size must have better security protecting it. I myself will wait for the real game just a few more days but hey thats life, welcome to the real world bungie. The pirates know who they are... GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

yea i think u can spike the site for all downloaders if they say yes you trace them and send a little *Agreement* which will put a pain in thier wallet.
it is just as bad to be one of the downloaders as much as it is to be the one whom made the download

OMG!!! I cannot believe this. I just got back from Holidays and so I am not going to read a whopping 83 pages so sorry if I repeat anything said earlier and sorry for the lateness of this reply.

This is disgusting whoever stole this game needs to be put in jail for a very, very long time. I heard from a friend that he knows someone who downloaded Halo 2. I thought he was just kidding but then I read this! How could someone steal Halo 2? Why would they be such morons? I cannot wait for this game and I sometimes wish I had a time maching to forward to November the 8th awaiting the midnight release of Halo 2, but never would I even consider stealing the game. I am so ANGRY! This game is to good for some moron to go giving it out freely for the PC. All the hard work put in by Bungie, all the scooter rides to the toilet down the long corridor made and all the snake evasions in the Bungie carpark. The 114 hour weeks spent working on the game. All of this done by Bungie and more and some guy comes along and puts it up for Download!

I will try my best to find this download and refer the website/email/person to the email address provided by you guys at Bungie. I hope this guy is found and put away for a long time. This guy is probably a repeat offender who needs to be strapped to 'the chair'. I am so furious.

Also may I add NavBeacon, you are an idiot. You have no idea about Halo 2 graphics or XBox's capability. Have you not seen the stats? PS2 has the worst graphics out of the 3. I have a PS2 and I regret buying the thing cos it couldn't even handle Halo if it tryed. The Halo 2 storyline and single player is going to absolutely kick butt. The multiplayer is going to be even more awesome. I pre-ordered this game in December and I know for a fact that I will not be dissapointed when this game is released. PS2 would explode if you waved a Halo 2 disk near it. By the look of San Andreas graphics they are absolutely nothing and I mean nothing compared to Halo 2's graphics.

Captain CheeZ reporting for duty SIR! ( He snaps to atention and gives a swift, Austrailian Militay Standered Salute)

I will search the web, and help find these... Pirate Scum! French eh? so we have a bunch of FROGYS spoiling Halo 2. good thing i can't read French.
TARGET REPORT
Please search the local markets, they might be selling them their. If so, take down as much information about the stock, the number plates of cars, and then phone the cops, make shore you ask for the under cover kind (undercovercops) the pirates are cowadly, but smart. they have look outs posted around looking for any cops. please note, half the time the people who run the market, are in on it too. I've seen it happen. as soon as the cops arive at the gate, the pirates get a phone call and they pack up real quick, and drive away.
If you can, dubble park in front of their van so they can't escape.
Even if their not selling halo or halo 2. Any pirate, given the chance will sell it if they could.

PEOPLE OF THE UNDERGROUND Hear me say! If we Sting all pirates NOW we will have done our duty. If you are reading this, and you know somebody who is selling pirate CDs DVD, or Games, even if they are giving them away. they are EATTING out of somebodys pay.

How would you feel, if just because some body makes a copy of YOUR CD and gives it away, you have just lost $20 out of your pay check. Now Just think that hundreds of peole are copying hundreds of your CDs, you are losing thousands of dollars now, money you need to put food on the table, money you need before the next "hit game".

Piracy Sucks.
i say, ANY one who flys a priate flag, should be hung and their head put on display for the buzered to pick.
Like the good old days.

Or may be the people heald responsible, if they don't tell who els they gave it to, should cover the FULL loss of this evil act.

Wow!! I didn't sit down to read the whole 83 some odd pages, but from what I gathered in the few pages I scanned over; I have a few reply's.
First, a few people seem to not understand how a pirated version of the game made it to the pc. Understand that this is not a pc version that was leaked. It was in fact an Xbox version. When someone has a modded box, you can ftp (file transfer protocal) into your xbox and pull the files of the game off. You then use a program like winrar to 'zip' the files to then upload them to the net. The number one place that these kinda files show up, is bittorrent websites. The sad thing is, is that most leechers will not really be found, since it is essentially a p2p program.
I would imagine that the version of the game that made it to the net is a beta, made for testers, but I don't know for sure. I am an avid fan of Halo, and though it's hard to resist the temptation, I must resist dl'ing this file. I will not settle for something less than the original in this kinda situation.
To Bungie, sorry about the hard times, but I'm sure that you realize that the pirates, and people in the know, really are a small population, and although I'm sure it annoys the hell out of you, you will survive and reign on top.
What kind of compitition do you have, san andreas, HA!! You will make history with this release.
Can't wait for the third!!!!!

Halo 2 has *pre-sold* 1.5 million copies! This will be the largest game launch in history, it will even top the highest grossing movie of all time. I don't think Microsoft/Bungie have anything to worry about concerning their paychecks on this game. Grow up you retards, this isn't a militia, you aren't going to hunt them down, you are probably 90 lb geeks and couldn't hurt yourself muchless someone else. Stop acting like ass clowns and wait for the game to come out to retail and STFU

If you believe the PS2 has better graphics than the xbox you're deluding yourself. I'm waiting and anticipating the release of PS3. I'm not saying the PS2 is awful. But in comparrison to the xbox it is. You should leave the violent and immoral world of GTA and bask in the wonders of a marvolously architectured game. You guys at Bungie did a great job in the first game. And I'm sure the 2nd will not be a disapointment. You probably guessed to make it better than the first, duh, it's a given rule to try to make the sequel 10X better. At this poin though I wouln't woory about the pirated game. Just make the most of the release.
