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 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 that I lost my Halo 2 pre-order! I'm still , 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 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.
