Last night a pirated copy of Halo 2 was released onto the internet. Needless to say we think this really sucks. Aside from years of hard work being stolen from us, we've gone to great lengths to ensure that the details of the Halo 2 campaign remain a mystery for players to experience for themselves on November 9th. Microsoft is currently engaged in a full scale investigation and to those foolish enough to partake in this piracy, you will soon witness the firepower of this fully operational battle station.



Members of the Bungie community - we need your help. The Underground Army is being called into action; this is not a drill. Anyone who has information regarding the leak of the game or individuals or websites promoting the download of these illegal files is asked to please contact us by sending email to piracy@microsoft.com or calling 1-800-RULEGIT. We also ask that you help us minimize the spoilers for those opting to wait for the retail release by refraining from posting screens, talking about the story and deleting any such posts you encounter. Many of you have already been actively tracking down and forwarding links to us and we thank you for your help.

#57486 Posted on: 10/15/2004 01:22 PM I think the Star Wars quote is a perfect analogy of what may happen to those responsible.

#57488 Posted on: 10/15/2004 02:39 PM But alas...if Halo 2 is anything like Halo 1 when it comes to level design: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed..." Darth Vader

#57498 Posted on: 10/15/2004 09:45 PM Its in french and supposedly there are some problems in the game, so it may not even be final. If I were to download this it would just be to check it out, I will wait until the proper english release is out before playing the full game. and whether I download that or not is my choice :P

#57501 Posted on: 10/15/2004 11:54 PM Steve Balmer encourages everyone to go over to release that anger and go over to the Dark Side. Kinda fitting to take appaerance of the 'evil' empire. Cant say that they arent honest with themselves I guess...

#57503 Posted on: 10/16/2004 02:13 AM Being affiliated with such a large org as MS, how can they not be surprised it leaked?? lol nice try anyway. i still can't believe dev's and companies act like piracy is a bad thing. besides the fact they'll get oh, say 5 million instead of 7 million profit (the horror!), they'll reach a much larger user base.. can't have it both ways game devs, you want your game to reach the audience? stop being wankers and let it go. sharing is a part of life & at the end of the day you'll still get your overly large cut of the pie. lol @ the nerds actually doing this, posting links & doing their work for them. fools.
