Bungie Responds to Halo 2 Leak
Friday, Oct. 15 2004 | Author: derekA moderator on the “Bungie Forums”:http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=829516 has acknowledged the leak of Halo 2 to the ‘net, saying it could have been something as low-tech as an employee in the manufacturing plant pocketing a disc on the way home, and that Bungie hasn’t been hacked. Half-Life 2 was stolen several months ago from Valve’s internal network, so apparently some people were concerned that Bungie’s security had been compromised as well.
What is Microsoft going to do about this?
There’s no doubt in my mind that Microsoft has people tracking down whoever was responsible for this. I hope whoever it was thought that leaking the game was worth his job, I hear the Microsoft legal team employ some very effective ninja.

2i think its horrible and tragic that someone would steal this game from the wonderful people over at bungie, but i dont care about who plays it before i do, or who knows all about it first
i just want to get my twitching hands on it on nov. 9th

3I got the copy of it and im sad to say i regret it, all my geeky friends didnt get it and when i went to school i was expecting tons of halo junkies to be talking about it all day, but noone knew about it, considering how few people really have a modded xbox, so the BOOM was not as big as i would have wanted it to be, although its awesome, i regret it, but ill still play it 4ever >:D

8Yall are a bunch of bitches, wait for the real deal, unless the welfare checks didn’t come.

9Hey guys, I’m sorry nobody told you where to download it, but get off your moral high horses. I personally disagree with the Halo 2 leak and don’t want any part of it, I’ll calmly wait my turn on November 9. Don’t begrudge the people who got it early, save your energy for hunting the parties involved in leaking it, they’re the ones hurting the industry. The Electronic Entertainment Industry costs more than ever these days, and now with crap like this pulled, they’re going to have to start investing more in security.

10Agreed. The people or peson who leaked Halo 2 should be hanged be Bungie. Who would do that to them….possibly the greatest of game makers. You are pathetic and weak if you cannot wait for the real thing!

13i dont know about u guys but the leaked version of halo 2 is a piece of $hit. my brother downloaded it (being the dumbass he is)and went around braging about it. well, we he wasent home i went into his room and played on level. let me tell u the leak version sucks ass. its slow and the game frezzes alot too. if anyone is thinking about downloading the game i would hold off untill november 9. its only like 2 weeks away so i dont see the point in downloading a game that sucks ass when u can wait 2 weeks and buy the good copy.
October 26th, 2004 at 2:45 am
14I agree with max, what is the F*****ng point of getting a crap buggy version when you can have one thats had 2 months to be polished and fixed.
Whoever thinks this leak is good, I’ll shove a pole up them if they get the release date delayed.
I have spoken fo you all. ;-)
October 26th, 2004 at 10:47 am
15hahaha its a freakin video game. noob? get outside guys.
October 26th, 2004 at 11:40 am
16WTF?! Your the noob, you should not be on this site, take a look around at all the halo finatics (me being one of them). who cares what they say if they have just cause. in any case, halo2 is gonna kick gamers a$$es, and we all anticipate the real release.
October 26th, 2004 at 11:50 am

20If they do delay it again, I’ll have no choice but to D/L the leaked version… I’ve waited long enough!!!
October 26th, 2004 at 2:55 pm
21ok i don’t know what anyone is talking about when they say this version of Halo 2 is glitchy…….Its the freaking final release for France….so do they sell glitchy choppy versions of games to French ppl or something??
October 26th, 2004 at 4:16 pm
22No the more it is downloaded the worsde it gets. it is being compressed and decompressed hundreds or even thousands of times and some files are damaged and lost.
The first one i downloaded was glitchy as hell but i tried a diffrent link and it was perfect fast loading and evrything.
You just have to choose your DL spot.
what i dont understand is there relly isnt that m uch of a graphic diffrence or gameplay only a few elements are diffrent.
relly all i have to say is Halo 2 is not all its cracked up to be… i mean 3 years and somthing should be better like doom 3 wans horrible now i think HL 2 is great even the glitchy alpha eak so that they one you need to buy.

23Halo 2 sucks guys!! My friend has it already. It doesn’t freeze and everything is in English. There is no falling damage, no dominant pistol, no health, you can fly a banshee, and the GAME SUCKS!!! They changed it too much
October 26th, 2004 at 10:33 pm

October 26th, 2004 at 11:07 pm

October 26th, 2004 at 11:11 pm
28im sorry gusy but ive been on this post a half a day and i already hate sno)py. halo is the best game ever and no one should ever say its sux. oh by da way mark, yes the frenchies get the shitty scratched glitchy games. cause they gay and they frenchies…
(i think the real reason is because it was stolen, kinda like hacked so it wasnt a complete file.)
October 26th, 2004 at 11:27 pm
29One last thing b4 i go to bed wtf does this mean??? Halo 2 sucks guys!! My friend has it already. It doesn’t freeze and everything is in English.

30You guys all suck balls. Halo2 rocks. Even the French Version is sickass. Screw anyone who thinks Halo is shit. The graphics are 100 times better than Halo1, the gameplay is faster, more exciting, everything is cool except for stupid french voices. I am definitely buying this game, just cos I want the manual/packaging. Also like I said, French sux.
October 27th, 2004 at 2:27 am
31Hey Drew,
If your mate has some serious Pot, can he send me some. I think Halo2 is friggin excellent and gets better the more I smoke.
