Actually, they will be at a disadvantage...they have to mod their xbox, because Halo 2 has a fail-safe to keep it from being stolen and played before launch day (At least that's what I heard). And Modded Xboxs can't play on LIVE. And not being able to actually get online is the biggest disadvantage inonline-gaming ;).

Getting back for a second to the possibility that H2 might suck, I agree. There is a very small chance. But considering that the basic gameplay is not much changed from the original, it can only be as bad as Halo, and as we all know Halo rocks.

1. halo 2 will not "suck" not even a change
2. pirates will have an advantage simply by having it soon... BUT it will not take long for me and most ppl adapt and start fragging every other gamer online
3. to spend $400 to get a game that comes out in 2 week just proves that pirates r stupid and more than likely NEED that 2 weeks to keep up with more experienced gamers



hope to see you guys on halo 2 and maybe frag you here and there...

have to spend 400 to play the leak? how do you figure that..most mod chips are under 50 and the software for them is easily attainable online..and for halo, i couldnt find it but im sure that the people that know how to get it got it for free..and the majority of people that play the leak already had modded boxes. more importantly though, the only advantage the leakers have over the people that ware waiting for the 9th is that they will know the maps and the secrets of the maps better . everything aside from that is based on a persons skills with the game every one who says you are going to waste the leakers will have to wait because any one of them could very well be better than you or you could be better than them. just because your mad at them for playing the game earlier than you doesnt mean that you will somehow be better than them.you ould very well be better than them but thats all acording to who is better at the game. also halo 2 has some potential to suck becuase the original was perfect. it was a perfect game. and you know what happens when you fix things that arent broken...im not even going to bother and read over this again so bear with any horrible spelling or typing erros and or run on sentances or sentences that dont make a lick of sense

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!!!!!


as good as you may be at halo those pirating yahoos are going to have a big advantage of knowing the layout of the boards and that is a big thing. Regardless though the scores will even out once the true and loyal halo elites go online

no unless some one gives them information on it, i have a friend who has xbox live, he lives in maryland, and he has a version of halo 2 you know how it shows what game the person is playing, for his it says halo 2 and when i talk to him he says he has it. I dont know if there is a problem with my xbox but i have talked to other people who play it as well.

Who needs television?

Has anyone noticed how many people are playing H2 on XBConnect? Isn't that a multiplayer game very similar to live? I know there usernames are different in XBC than in live, but I am willing to bet that they are close. I will keep my eye out for them on live, will probably get my a~~ kicked at first, but we will get our victory later.

First of all, stop whining about it. Second of all, you won't be a noob forever, so learn from your mistakes. Lastly, there aren't as many people playing it day in and day out as you think. "In a recent poll, the majority of the population doesn't even know halo 2 was leaked!"

you guys r so dumb....
if you are any good at halo you should be just about the same at halo2
so they know how to use weapons better....BOOHOO
shut up and get better....i plan on raping all the pople who pirated halo2!
have fun killing pirates is what I say!


Okay, I will start by saying that the word "dumb" actually stands for the inability to speak. Secondly, judging from your abbreviations, run-on sentences, and failure to capitalize (other than a big "BOOHOO") that you have more of an inability to speak than anybody else who has posted.

That was the denotation of the word "dumb", however the conotation of the word is stupid or not smart. Even if that is what you meant you still fall under that category more than anybody else who has posted due to the same reasons stated above.

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...



You're a retard. Watching a video doesn't do anything in terms of letting you know how the game plays.

Halo 2 will be better than the first one. It will be an amazing unstopabble piece of video game history.

You'll see.

Master Th0r will soon become an unstoppable piece of video game history. Only the true warriors will have a chance to become one of his own. All the rest shall be shown no mercy. Be prepared for the rise of Th0r and his Clan.

I don't think there will be much of a disadvantage. The ranking system will put the hackers in a higher skill bracket, so the newer players won't have to deal with them right away. Once everyone gets better, the hackers will be fair game. ;)

the only thing the pirate ppl are gonna be good at is knowing the lvl's... and its not hard of find some vids on the net. or when you get it it will take like 20mins to know the maps. you will only get owned if your skillz really suck.

dude, pirates can't play halo 2 online, because their system will shut down if they go online
i mean sure, they could be good at AI.....but how hard is that?

If u played the first one than you will be fine. i seriously doubt bungie change the controls so that u wont know what button is what. if u never ever played halo ( which is impossible because everyone has played it and if anyone didnt play they are missing out.) than play campaign or multiplayer with your friends and get better before going online. Or u can just go online and get pointers from everyone who is a veteran. Its your choice.

The thing is that with the pirated version it was like a french copy so ...
first : The people who are stealing it must speak french to understand fully
second: There is no live with the stolen version bungie was just worried about the single
player story being given away

The other thing is that the controls are gonna be the same as halo so the only difrence is that they might know the levels better other than that they will have no advantage
