Dunno if any of you have heard about this or not....but there is a pirated version of halo 2 out on the intarweb and microsoft is cracking down on peeps

Yeah its leaked almost a month before the official release. I feel bad for the devs (Bungie and all)...

Shocking how people will download software and not support the devs/companies.!!!!!

This happens all the time with movies/music/games. Can't see the big deal. A billion people allready preordered it and they want to play online/support the company.
MS are just whining

is that a UK or US billion??

Prolly US..

aye true..... :\

people are just making a big deal out of it cause its one of teh most inticapated games of the year or some shit....people really want to play it and get pissed when people illegally download it I guess

I dont see how can they can get piassed. Halo 2 is all about online multiplayer, and theleaked copy wont be able to do that. I reckon you'll find some of thse that have the copy will in fact by the game. The money loss is just Msofts and Bungie's way of making a scene and noticed. Going by Msofts Security levels and awareness they wouldnt even know where to start..

It's in French, and It's in PAL format...

I think I'll just wait tell my Collectors Edition Halo 2 Comes in =D

i stopped by a friends house last night and he had Halo 2 on his XBOX. we played multiplayer against eachother for a few minutes. funny thing though - everything is in french except multiplayer mode.
