I hope this doesn't mean that Halo2 itself is glitched and it is only the transitioning the leached version has to go through that is causing it

Yeah, I'd assume it's poor pirating. Bungie has some great testers.

Bungie should put a fake copy of it out on the internet (not telling them they made it) and when they download it it F@#$'s up their comp. And then a message comes up with Frankies face saying, YOU GOT BLAMMED!!

Cute, but illegal...

Unfortunately two wrongs don't make a right.

the glitch fits in well with the conspiracy theory that bungie put the "leaked" version out to hype up everyone and free advertising

Well, while you point that out, let me point out a few things.

1. Not even Microsoft's advertising goals are as farfetched as to Spam it's own internal investigators and piracy department.
2. Bungie wouldn't have the moderators in a tizzy about spoiler watch.
3. BBC news reported on the piracy, Microsoft has nothing to do with them, nor does it have ties with USA in that respect.

Only if you are a hell bent conspiracy theorist would that even be in the slightest bit possible.


<<Edit>> 4. Even if all the above was TRUE, the real copy would be out already. Games get leaked, especially big titles. Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 were both leaked and Halo 2 is no exception.

while i do agree with your points and I am not necessarily saying that I think bungie did it.

Do i think it is in the realm of possibility... yes


As far as spamming goes, how hard is it for microsoft to setup a dummy account to recieve these spams? I had nto seen the email address they provided before (especially with all the versions of windows (microsoft's real money maker) being pirated on the net).
I don't think bungie would put moderators in a tizzy over nothing, but how hard is it for someone to say, make sure no one does this
BBC has no ties to microsoftor america, thus an international leak would get there attention, especially if it is a european leak

I'm sorry i don't understand what side of the coin you are trying to show with #4 so I will leave that alone. *** Nevermind I get what your saying now, but don't games usually get leaked within a week or less of release (i assumed it was more from shipping/retail locations that can't control their in house shrink that caused a majority of leakage) I forget when Doom 3 got leaked but I thought it was only a day or two before it was released


but like i said, i don't think bungie did it, I just found it curious that the "glitch" kinda lends it self to the conspiracy theorists line of thinking

The Halo 2 Piracy is glitched, but go to www.gamepro.com and find out what else is going on. In their news update about it, they say that the only way the pirates can play the 3GB download of the game is on specially modded Xbox which only the pirates who already thought of this and/or already did, they'll be able to play the downloaded game. Microsoft suspects it was one of the factory workers who pocketed a copy of the game for his own self-gain three days after Bungie shipped the data out for pressing. Now Microsoft and Bungie are hunting the web for pirates who may or already have the game. Oh, and the copies of the game are all in French so I don't think they'll understand any of the dialogue unless they can understand the French language.

i read that the cinematics had subtitles from somewhere..

anyway, it would funny if the version was fine, but the pirates just sucked so bad, that they can't get past that part of the game!

That would be pretty funny!
And if that were true they are not worthy enough to play it.
I say they leave Halo too the pros (and their friends no matter how much they suck)
