If i knew who the guy leaking the info is, i'd report him (or what's left of him) after i'm finished with him and beleive me, it wouldn't be pretty. There's always got to be some loser who ruins the game for everyone:(

I wish i would have read this thread in mid october because you people floor me. Oh no someone stole a video game and it leaked out, who cares get over it.

This thing happens everyday, hell i remember bootlegging starwar 1 on opening day (in theatres) in my school tech room making copy after copy.
Everyday another person mods there xbox and no longer pays Microsoft to own games. People steal everyday it's life, so don't sit here and all cry about it. How many of of have ever taped a movie or have an illegal satilite in your homes? Do you cry about that ever night at the dinner table, chances are that your answer is a fat no. People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.
For all the people that went on about how this has ruined your life... you need to get over it and find other intrests, sure i love my video games hell i have 3 xboxes, 2 PS2's and a Game cube with close to 60 games but halo 2 is not my life (halo is far the best game i have ever played not counting RPG's). Hell we are even lining up at 9pm at an EB Games so come midnight we will be the first ones in also we bring with us beer, food, a table and are planning to play Risk in the cold while waiting. I may have the illegal copy of halo 2 which is in french but yet i still have 2 of them on pre order, if you can't speak french then why play single player. If you have the game why be a dick and post spoilers? that i dislike, but for the most part stop all the whinning and get over it. Or is it that you are all just jealous that some of us with the knowledge and know how to soft mod an xbox have halo 2 already...
And yes i realize that i have horrible grammer and spelling issues and long crazy run on sentences...

And the leak of the game is for Xbox not PC. With knowledge the xbox can do some amazinf things...

Chaotic Aptitude.
Keep the flames down eh?

ok ok.. listin up.. one day before the launch.. and i read almost 100 padges of complants and what not.. ok.. this is bull-blam!- and we all know it.. microsoft willnot download anything.. they are being stubbern and need names, addresses , phone numbers. its crazy.. but you have to think that if they are looking for personal information even after the release of halo 2 what will happen to the people who had downloaded it.. hopefully they will get shot in the head with an 12 guage slug.. and /or be in prison for an long time.. becouse stealing an game that huge is just wrong. bungie we feel for you.. its not cool that you work for three years on something and that it just turns to -blam!- becouse of the internet.. and for all you fkng retards that think that halo 2 will fall short of the hype.. your fkng crazy.. becouse from what i noticed about halo 2.. is that i would rather play that game than anything els i can think of right now.. it sux that i have to wait 16 hours.. but i will wait them out.. and all you i challenge you to single flag ctf on zanzibar.. << hoping that i spelled that right.. well add me to live if you want ..

If I had the choice to download the game or buy it. I would definatly buy it, I mean this game is frigen awsome and not to count the man hours put into this game have go to be incredible. Honestly I think anyone who downloads that or pirates that should step down a few ranks in the chain to go to heaven. Though I doubt god cares.

I know chaotic aptitude that you think it's okay to download that game before its out and then buy it when it comes out. But its not, Cause if you download that game that means your supporting people who pirate stuff. And for those who steal sattilite think it is cool cause you get tons of free channels its not. I Know these companies charge alot to see some movies, but when it boiles down to it, its still stealing. The prices would probably be lowered if everyone was paying for there satillite. Back home My friend had illeagle sattilite, and I had regular television, we all use to joke that I had 3 channels and thats it, If I wanted I could have had a illeagle sattillite but I find thats to easy. Life is like a game if you steal its like cheating, and who likes cheaters. You also must remember there are people unlike the avrage pirater who actually burn these games and sell em, turning aprofit for themeselves not bungie who spent years developing for the gamers. Not for gamers who pirate and make a price for themselves. All I got to say is I have a crap load of games, and everyone I take pride in cause I actually went out and bought them.

This piracy matter shoulld be dealt with right away! but for the peace of mind to bungie- This is the most antisapated game of the year. Everyone and there mother is going to purchase this game and not only because it is such a kick ass game, but also to honor and support you guys. The only real advantage that they get is some more playing time. damn them,-----damn them all 2 hell

I have to agree COMPLETELY with Chaotic Apathy. This guy knows what he's talking about. First of all, I want to thank you for saying that the leaked version is for XBOX. It was aggrevating to look at all these whiny -blam!-es talk about how they can't understand that it would be for PC. Dear God, has anyone ever heard of a Mod chip? Apparently you have (chaotic apathy) and I commend you for having the balls to shut these people up. Sure, when I first saw a pirated version for download, I was skeptical. That's why I downloaded it only to find it actually worked. I was thrilled to play the game before it came out and I rubbed it in all of my friends' faces. But, ya know what? I still bought Halo 2 and all of my friends did as well, so Bungie is not losing any support whatsoever. Sure, it's still stealing, but that's none of your Goddamn business because, ultimately, that sin is between me and Jesus, so get a life. There may be a few select people satisfied with their little French piracy, but if they want to play live or have any common decency or support for Bungie they'll buy the game, so I seriously doubt this is even an issue of discussion. It's not 3 years of work being stolen. It's 3 years of work being worshipped so much to the point that someone would BUY a copy even after they own one. If you (hypothetically) stole a TV, would you go back the next day and buy the exact same one from the same retailer? Odds are that you wouldn't. Why? because you already have one...no need for another.......(this is maybe a bad example , but you get the point.) Anyway, Bungie rules, so probably 99.9% of people who have the pirated version will buy the game regardless. Why? Because, like I said, Bungie rules, so I (we) support them. Also, who wants to hear some -blam!- French bull-blam!- when you could hear the Marines talk -blam!- to dead covenant and cry about being shot from live ones? In short, French is crap and Bungie rules, so all you retards that spend your short lives whining and complaining about piracy, get a life and come to terms with your own flaws and sins. Everyone steals in one way or another, it's human. Chaotic Apathy, you're the man. Piracy can never be stopped. (not that I support or encourage it) Deal with it!

Oh, and Sorry Choatic Aptitude for mispelling your name.....I only glanced at it because I was in such a rush to create an account just to reply to these recent idiotic posts, and I read it wrong. My mistake, but either way, I still support you.

Both Chaotic Aptitude and Math Ninja are dead on in what they are talking about. Not everyone has the same dang morals and those who do not believe in things such as the magical sky guy should not have those sort of thoughts jammed down their throat or into their minds. If they bought the game after doing their "bad deed", then Bungie lost an accumulative total of 0 dollars in any currency. There are also people who did not buy the game because they do not have the money and might not have it for a long time. Bungie also loses no money from these people since they would not get it anyway.

My method of playing Halo2 was to wait for one of my friends to rent it and then play it way too far into the night last Saturday. To all of those who are fanboys here, did you actually pay for your copy of Windows(if you use Windows)? Do you also download anything else such as music? To those who answer yes then no to the previous questions, do you have the money for that sort of stuff?

I think that the answers to my questions will follow the pattern:

no | yes | no
yes | no | yes
no | no | yes
yes | no | yes

Most people with the money for things buy it and those without do not buy it. To be fair I shall also answer my three questions honestly.

I use Linux | yes | no

Bungie wouldnt have lost money anyway, look at all the people that preordered it, halo2 is most anticipated, and pre ordered game ever, i think even better than gta-sa. and if you wanted it, you dont goto sites, try kazaa or morpheous. they have it but what are the chances of them having a bad file in it? hmmm a pretty good chance. besides the french version is the same as the retail one. everything but the campaign at least.

Man... I say... get over it...

I have 2 Xbox's... 1 Modded... 1 Limited Edition Halo X-Box... I bought 2 copies Nov. 9th. Original & Collector's Ed.

Halo 2 made frontpages of the newspapers... didn't they sell about 2 million copies day one? What's the big deal? It's obvious the fan support is still there... I had downloaded the french copy... about a month before release... doesn't mean I wasn't gonna buy the real deal... this issue is dead... the people that downloaded the game... and didn't buy it... are people who probably weren't gonna buy it in the 1st place... so there's actually no real loss...

Think about it...
