Arr matey, have ye played the Halo 2?

[Shlup]

Microsoft representatives confirmed that a pirated copy of "Halo 2"--in the French language and the PAL video format used by European television sets--began circulating on the Internet late Wednesday via newsgroups and "warez" sites for swapping pirated software. (article (http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-5409959.html))

Yeah, so, the game *cough*looks*cough* good. Anyone else *cough*hear about this*cough*?

[The Shoeless Hobo]

*cough*No*cough*

[Rostum]

Yeah if it turns up on suprnova.org or something I may as well download it.

[Lord Chainsaw]

As tempting as that sounds, I'm going to wait.

I want the full experience. I want to get that game on November 9 and enjoy it to the fullest. This pirated copy is just spoiling the fun of the game. It's like those kids at christmas who go looking for their presents.

Saw this on slashdot last week. They have/had it at Torrentreactor, if anyone's interested. I don't have an X-box, but I decided to see what torrent sites would have it.

[Maxico]

yeah the leaks a pretty touchy subject and some boards ban people just for talking about the details of it (bungie and gamespot/faqs). Im wonder where people get PAL tvs in america anyway?

[Shlup]

Eh...? I dunno, a friend has some "Avalanche" mod on his XBox and a 200GB hard drive.

I agree that it is akin to a kid looking for his Christmas presents before hand, but it's an interesting thing to do. I don't know anyone who has and XBox and hasn't already preordered the game, so I somehow doubt this will affect sales anyway.

[TasteyPies]

Shiver me timbers! Piraten takes all the fun out of it!

[Shlup]

But piraten puts its own fun in it. >:D

[Erdrick Holmes]

Great, I smell another setback like they did with Half Life 2.

[Maxico]

nope they cant. It went gold before the leak. and going gold is a sacred bond.

*monotone* SACRED BOND.
