Hey I am a new member which i should have been one a long time ago but now I am finally. So with people pirating Halo 2 and such doesnt that give them in upper hand on us nubs that will soon be playing Halo 2 online.. I mean we will be logging on and find ourselves with pros because they have been playing every hour of the day.. day in and day out. Just tell me what you think.

Well, sure they will have an advantage, but its unavoidable. What would you really like Bungie to do about it?

I will tell you what we can do and that is to shelter ourselves and become the biggest elites we have ever been in our lives. My life is Socom 2 online right now but when H2 drops my life will be Halo 2 on LIVE.

Easy....
1) watch the videos and such
2) report them if they are leaked
3) wait for Halo 2 to come out on November 9th

I don't think people are as worried about the release of Halo 2 due to the fact they'll be running into "experts" when they first play it online... at least I hope not. Most people are worried that someone will ruin the storyline for them before they get to play the game and see it for themselves.

i agree with lazybum. just get really good with the weapons on campaign mode, and then you wil be able to rule in multiplayer. plus, fighting with people who are better than you is just gonna make u better. SO STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!

but wouldnt it be wierd if the pistol was renderdd useless...most duel wielding weapons had no range...the battle rifle was seriously underpowered, shields rechargded too fast,, leaning and melee cobos werent even in the game. and it almost seamed that bungie tried so hard to balance the weapons that they made them all equally -blam!- with no single weapon having its own perks which actually also made vehicles unstopable...that would be wierd

I agree. Plus, you've got weapon advancements to consider. There are some of us (like I) who don't play on Xbox live. Yet, if we did, would show some severe advantages with certain weapons. For instance, I'm good with an Assault Rifle. What I'm saying is, get good with certain "Beginning" weapons. With that, you can cook a LOT of people, even if they've more experience. Then, take their good weapons (Which you'll be good with) and go on a hack and slash....

actually odds are the people who pirated halo 2 will not be able to play it on live...for one for the most part modded xboxes are banmned but im sure bungie would have added a little code to the non pirate verion after the leak just to tell the difference

i dont think that if you pirated Halo 2 you have an advantage. so you get a practice at the weapons and if so, what's the big deal? if you get killed, you get killed but beat the experienced player and you get bettoer but once you get the hang of it, you can go around and own anyone you want. its not gonna kill you to get killed online (no pun intended)

meh, no big deal. just avoid the pirates when they're giving out plot crap. the only way i got any good at all on h1 is by playing with people better than me on XBC. (I don't own the game, so i'm kind of a newb. maybe inter.) And re the guns, they're fine. Bungie knows how to make a game fun. Read the dual wielding guide, the bit about the plasma charge/pistol shot thing. pretty lethal.

Wellllllllll... I dont know exacly how Halo 2 will be... but guys, think about this... What if Halo 2 is bad? Bungie might have made a BAD SEQUEL. Its definitley not unheard of, so just cross your fingers and hope your precious 50 dollars you spent reserving it wasnt for nothing. They say its all great, but sometimes i wonder, what if they screwed it up to bad. For example, i saw the LEGAL video of the Zanzibar tournament... the warthog didnt seem to drive as realistically as it did in Halo 1, the battle rifle was underpowered, dual weilding seemed pointless, and i didnt really love the map. It was small, not alot of places to go to kill people and such. Hopefully, bungie did a nice job on the game, i have faith in them, but sometimes i wonder, you know? Well let me know what you think after you watch a couple of videos.

And remember...

Pirates have just as much of an upperhand as those who played the game OFFICIALLY ahead of time in the Halo 2 Multiplayer tryouts and reviewers (OXM) .

yes guys I know some are good at Halo 1 but that means nothing for Halo 2... Like the new guns could aim a lot different and we have no clue. As far as the dual wielding goes yes we have hear the best combos but until WE try them out we will not know for ourselves. All I am saying is for these -blam!- to pirate the game and have the upper hand at start is dumb. DOES ANYONE AGREE??

It wouldn't be so fair if Microsoft find some of these pirates.

It's impossible to get a version of a game on XBox Live that isn't legal, so the people with the leaked copy are just going to have to buy the real thing if they want to play it on Live later. The version they have does have multiplayer on it, and is playable on XBC, obvious to anybody who still plays Halo on XBC, but XBox Live detects when a different dashboard is being run on a xbox and bans it from playing on Live so basically, if somebody owns a leaked copy of Halo 2, they won't be able to play it on Live until they buy a full copy anyway. They'll have practice and such on the rest of us, but they aren't getting it for free.

Unless you suck at halo like my roomate, you will be fine. everyone gets to a stage where they can get no better at the game. everyone will reach this point so in the long run it will equal out. Sure they may have an advantage to start off with but hey in the ranked system online you wont have to play them if you are not on there level anyway. Plus, wont it be great to come back and kick the -blam!- out of the pirating bastards. Not like we will be able to know who they are anyway. why am i still writing. all i know is Hooper04 (gamertag) will be in the top 100 oh yeah baby
