I know who is screwing with Bungie and it is none other than the french. All the hacked halo2s that i have come into contact with are all in french.

Just a couple of sites that do have halo 2 up for downloading are:

www.shareconnector.com
www.filedonkey.com

As much as i want to play it I will wait. Besides you can't play those downloaded ones online anyway.

HALO 2 will be the light...................I'll be on xbox live wasting people on 11-9-04...see ya then

All right. I've thought it over. I've done the moral debating. I've made up my mind. I will act at the command of the Collumn. Give me the address of that bastard, and I will show him what a real bastard does to the -blam!-s who give bastards a bad name! A shotgun, a few shotgun rounds, a katana, a bowie knife, and a little C4. My secret order (we do exist, but we're too covert to dare to make a chapter) will execute any covert opperations you need done. Blow the factory that it leaked from? Sure? Nuke the country that it leaked in? We're already working on it. The Grays are ready, and we are prepared to die for Bungie!

This has probably been said lodsa times already, but i can't be bothered looking threw loadsa pages to see if anyone has already put what i'm putting here:

For those of you who are wondering how you can download halo 2 and it to work on your xbox, i'll tell you.
Your xbox needs to me chipped. this means that a special chip is put into your xbox, which lets you play imported games or backups - as far as i know, this is legal. But using the mod-chip to play illegal games that you have downloaded IS illegal (ofc). When people have downloaded the game, they simpily burn it onto a DVD-R, then put it in their xbox, and the mod-chip lets them play it.

Also, I'm sure i saw it on www.shareconnecter.com afew days ago. But, taking share connector to court... hmmmmm... good idea but really, they havn't done anything. They don't actually hast the files so they're not really doing anything illegal. They just give you a link to the file, it's then upto the user if (s)he clicks it or not.

And I think it's only the french version that's been leaked, unless an english version is out and i ahvn't heard about it. And cos it's french, no-one would want to d/l it cos they wouldn't be able to understand a word of it! Plus it would ruin the whole experience of waiting anciously for the November 9/11 release date :)

I hope you catch whoever leaked it out and give them a whack... into jail.
I'm waiting patiently for the release of it on the 11th here in the uk (my little brothers birthday :)). I'm not greedy and I don't want to goto prison either. I wouldn't even dream of getting it anyway in teh first place. I hope whoever did this will rot in prison, or get fined $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or £1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or €1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever their currency is.

Ouch. My hands hurt

Ok, Some information for all of you about the leaked copy, I didn't waste my time reading all 80 plus pages of outraged Halo 2 fans.

First, the leaked copy is for the XBox, so anyone complaining about it being a PC release is incorrect. The leak requires a modded XBox and the knowhow to get it on to the XBox..

Second, the leaked copy is a pal version and it's in french... there are english subtitles on cut scenes but not with the live action. All the insturctions and objectives are in english tho. Again, this isn't the same as the version that will be released on the 9th. Imagine lame French voice overs... the horror.

I can't wait to get my 2 real copies of Halo 2 on the 9th

Microsoft is not only looking for the places that are exibiting it, they are also looking for the Bastards whom are taking it. After all since Microsoft practically runs the internet there is no place to run

The game (that was leaked) was in french, but it doesn't matter because the xbox has subtitles. My friends at school back the creaters at bungie, and we had a disscussion about it and we will keep an eye and ear out for anything suspicious, but halo 2 isn't the only one to be pirated lately. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was also leaked. Is it possible that the latest rash of piracies are connected? I guess some people can't wait for games to come out and ruin the suspence for everyone.....

OK I'm not condoning the leak but lets get real. 1.5 million pre - orders, + xbox live subscriptions, a finished product but not in stores. I personally feel this is just a publicity stunt. If the french are responsable for the leak what are you (bungie) doing in France?
I am assuming it is an American based company and serves you right for taking jobs to other countries.

This happened before halo 2 went gold, right? so they pirated the unfinished game.......boy, are they stupid......and have they found out who leaked it yet?

ps: just wondering.....what happens 2 people who get caught with the pirated game?

To find the people who have it and are sharing it, Microsoft will need to go onto eMule, search for it or goto www.shareconnector.com and search for it there and click on the link. When Microsoft starts to download it, they can see who they're downloading off. So them they just get their IP address, email their ISP and tell them to tell the user that they've been caught sharing copies of one of their games. That's teh only way i can think of them doing it.
Strange that Microsoft would be downloading one of their own games, hehehe.
Well, i hope you catch those stupid frenchies that leaked it out.
If people get caught with it, they can face an unlimited fine and goto jail i think.
I hate people who download games, taking away all that hard work the companies have put into it. Music... I think it can be alright cos it costs what, £1 to make the CD and what do they sell it for, eh. Yup. make loadsa money. But games are more than music, so they should be taken more seriously, especially halo 2!!!!! burn stupid frenchies that pirated it!

When you think about it, this would have happened sooner or later. There was no way around it.
