Banned from what?

My best guess is that he's saying that you can get banned from this websites forums for showing any links to pirated information or downloads, which he seems to have such high authority over seeing as he is a community member of Bungie and has only been here for 3 months and is stressing like he is a moderator.

just because the people who made the game are in the U.S. doesn't mean a U.S. citizen stole it, read the article at GameSpot

I sent in an email about the Halo 2 piracy information, because I think I know who it is.
If you need more information, please contact me via gold_spartan@hotmail.com

How could this happen to Bungie and Microsoft's Magnum Opus that is Halo 2!? I myself have been playing Halo:CE since I was stationed in Afghanistan in 2002 after a fellow soldier friend of mine introduced me to the subtle complexities of this masterpiece that is Halo:CE. Ever since then, I have L-O-N-G-E-D for a sequal to this perfect specimine of a game, and have been a regular reader on this site and H.B.O (Louis Wu is the man!!). I have been annoying my roomates and classmates on a regualr basis with 'my' Halo 2 updates that simply blew my mind. The first time I saw a complete render of a Brute to the first time I saw a Warthog BLOW UP on a downloaded video to all the weekly updates that I scrutenized and pondered: all of these experiences coupled with the ever-growing anxiety of Nov 9 have given me a reason to keep playing Halo and to be ever patient for Nov 9th. I eben had my wallet stolen one night when I went out with some friends, and the one thing that really pissed me off was the fact that my pre-order ticket for Halo 2 SE was in there. I didn't give a damn about my Driver's Liscense, my School ID, or even my Social Security Card! I was pissed that I lost my Halo 2 pre-order! I'm still pissed, but I was able to get another copy preordered...just not a special edition: Bungie...I've paid over $100.00 on Halo 2 and I'd spend $1,000.00 more if I had to. When I logged onto the underground yesterday and read about this INJUSTICE I literally shed tears! I felt...no make that FEEL cheated that some slovenly, no-good, shade-dwelling, SELFISH, fool-hearty, cold-blooded MISCREANTs could think about robbing the Halo community of everything htey have been so patiently longing for! Think how this makes me feel...I felt cheated when I saw a picture of that awesome looking cricket covenant thing on that toy site! I was pissed at that and now this blatant lack of respect to the fine folks at Bungie who love their Hippos and Bees! I for one will laugh contently when the unescapable grip of justice provided by the flaming ninjas that are Microsoft and Bungie tightens around those who have so foolishly attempted to RUIN this monumental occasion for our fine community! That is all I have to say...keep the support strong for MGS and Bungie for their tireless efforts are worthy of our praise and support. May the videogame gods smite everyone who has had any inkling of a part in this atrocity. See you guys on LIVE Nov 9th!!! Solja637....find me.

soulja637, please read some pages in this thread and understand that Microsoft isn't a superior anti-leaking company. it probably gets leaked the most [b] more than [b] any company out there. A few people point this out in their posts and give pretty good examples, too.

I must say that this is a horrible event. But to be honest my first thought was shoot lemme find it to play it, and then i said to myself that is horrible! i have been waiting patiently, impatiently at times, just like everyone else and for some one to steal the most anticipated game ever is a horrible injustice!!!! I am ticked that anyone would do this, there is less than 25 days till it's release JUST FRIGGIN WAIT! If i have to wait to BUY the best game ever i will wait and buy it, heck i would pay 100 dollars for it, then i am here to help bungie bust the idiots who can't wait. I will wait till Nov 9th and proudly pay my 54.99 for the SE at ebgames at 12 am and go right home and play anyone on live. TO THE LOSERS WHO COULDN'T WAIT.....I CAN'T WAIT TO KICK YOUR *** ON LIVE!!!! But till then....i will wait.

NOV 9th = not soon enough!

Don't be stupid. Most of them don't have the item that allows modded xboxes on XBL so you wont be able to "kick their asses."

Good point Godfather (you don't mind if I don't L33T your name right?). I have read all 80-some pages of this thread before posting, but what has happened is wrong and I just had to vent a bit of my fury. I mainly feel sorry for those who have had the game ruined for them by accidentally stumbling across some spoilers that have been leaked. how would you feel? Waiting 3 damn years just to have some sap post an integral part of the story on your favorite forum thus ruining that aspect of your growing anxiety and anticipation. Anyhow...keep up the great posts everyone.

Yeah. I understand what you mean. But really, even though it's not that good, it's not really that bad . You figure you are the first person who hasn't been under the "Kisss of " to see the brand new enemy or vehicle on the new Halo forest (I'm just making this up by the way). It can't be too bad, but yes I understand what you mean about the plot.
