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.

Ahh....another dumb noob who stereotyoes the French and thinks he's in the military.
Grow up.

Eh, pinch me if I'm dreaming. I clicked on my XBL gamertag on this site and it brought up my friends and one of them was on Live with Halo 2. It has to be XBL aware.

Well, it had to happen. Its obvious that one of the most anticipated games of all time would be a target of thieves. My question is this - Why was there not enough security at the production site? For a massive AAA game to be released and have someone steal it bewilders me. Considering the Sales that this game will generate, its similar to somone stealing millions and millions of dollars from a bank with low security.

Either way its a shame, but irreversable, instead why not look into why it happened and then prevent theft for any future releases.

Perhaps its a good time for game developers / publishers to team up with the music industry in the fight to piracy?

Good luck Bungie in tracking down the offenders, I am here to offer assistance if required.

Kind Regards,

it is true, the version of halo 2 only works on a modded xbox (meaning it has a mod chip installed) but they cannot save it to there hard drive because the disk is encripted.

I know this because my best friend has a copy of the halo 2 game and it only works on his MODDED xbox.

Don't kill me, he is the one that bought it.

It is awsome tho, especally the second level where..... i let you find out!

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.


wtf does this guy think he is? ps2 is better than xbox? halo will probably have better graphics than a ps3 and i dont think a p.o.s i mean ps will ever have better graphics than halo 2 does, does this guy know wat he is saying? i mean wat kind of idiot says this kinda stuff and wats this about master chief having reflections on his helmet? its not like ppl would be going up to master chief looking for mirrors u fukking idiot it would be kinda cool if his visor did have reflections of something...and maybe it does in this finished version, but ur just a fukking moron and to bungie hopefully u find these damn pirates

I think this is Unbelievable!!!! Who ever has done such a thing to a great game shoould be in prison for LIFE or SHOT! People are ment to be trusted with such a 'precious game'. What does the person get out of it? Honestly... This has ruined it for not only Bungie but for the people that love Halo 2 and don't want see the game being released like it has been...

And people who Download/ Buy it of the net. it is only ruining the fun for yourself.... I cant wait till the last day before Halo 2 comes out. The suspence would be AWESOME!!!

wtf? does this dumbass know wat hes talkin about? halo will alone always own pos2 in graphics and as for halo 2 i doubt anything on pos3 will have close to as good as graphics as halo 2 and y would somebody care as to wat they see on master chiefs visor? u wont be having staring contests or anything so just stfu and quit thinking that pos2 is better because it isnt and almost anybody will agree with me...besides ur noob ass, and as for bungie i hope u get these pirates, and to everybody else that thinks the pirated version is just the first level or some retardd -blam!- like that its the whole game in french and was not made in europe it was put on the net somewhere in cali, and ppl have been going to california to get the game to play on their very own modded boxes, well some ppl have been going there, but dont ask me ive found out all this stuff from other ppl and forums so if u read around then u can find out a lot about this if u want to know and u dont even have to go to different sites go to some groups in 7th column-payce everybody

I didn't think Halo 2 could possibly be played on a PC since it is an Xbox exclusive game. If this is for real, I am extremely dissapointed and angered. I will do my part to minimize spoilers and piracy. I want the story to be a suprise for myself and everyone else. It will be amazing, and it will be a revelation.

People that have the mod XBOXs with the extra hard drive installed can play the game on their box. All they had to do was download the file(s), burn them from their computer onto a CD. Then insert the disk into the XBOX and download to the hard drive. It is the same concept for any game. They insert the disk and copy it to the hard drive. A buddy of mine has a mod XBOX that received a copy of the pirated halo 2 game and put it on his hard drive. After I told him how much trouble he could get into, he promptly erased it from his XBOX and said he could wait another 3 weeks. I patted him on the back. You're welcome Bungie. Keep up the good work!

If you are interested in moding your XBOX, there are plenty of website available to view how to do this. Emulators can also be installed to the hard drive to enable the playing of Atari games and the like.

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.
