Remove logic from the equation and it will start to make sense.

I don't know, are people expecting an amazing story in Halo 2 or something? I didn't find the story in Halo to be very deep or involving...sure it had a story, but it usually took a backseat to action and gameplay. It's different with something like MGS2, for example, a game heavily built around a story.
Not that I would like people to post spoilers from Halo 2 of course...just that I didn't know people took the story in Halo so seriously (yes I know there are books, but the first game still didn't have much of a story).

There should be an immediate freeze on any new account signups here, in order to prevent people registering dummy accounts and using them to post spoilers in thread titles. Any member who does, should be banned, of course, but if they're using a relatively new account, their IP address should be checked against all other members to try and determine if they have any other accounts here - to deter any existing members who might have double accounts. Just a suggestion..
before Episode III, like a few weeks before (it'll be hard because of E3 around the same time), I'm gonna tread carefully whenever I get on the web...Teddman said:Seriously though, it really sucks that it got leaked so fast. I was just talking to a friend (and fellow Halo-fanatic) about how the anticipation level is so high, I couldn't imagine a worker at a pressing plant not jacking a disc. No sooner said than...
Basically I either have to swear off forums for over three weeks, or resign myself to finding out a lot about the game unintentionally. Because word is going to spread like wildfire... I wanted to start playing the game and enjoy all the surprises.

People can spoil more than story - enemies, weapons, vehicles, scenarios etc. I want my Halo2 experience to be pristinely fresh. I haven't read any media on it since its first showing (the ORIGINAL video), and don't want to know anything about it till I play it myself.
Remember Windows XP leak? Now that was crazy and potentially much more damaging to Microsoft. But having said that, I don't remember anyone being worried or feeling bad for Microsoft over it :\
One could say that Ico didn't have 'much of a story' (in that it wasn't too complex or too long or whatever) but I sure as f*** wouldn't like if anyone spoiled the ending for me, or anything of it's story for that matter. Story in Halo was integral to gameplay and interesting enough so that I wouldn't like that spoiled either.

what did i do for what? huh?!
Wasn't it kind of Bungie to starve the public of Halo 2 Single Player news and media for over two years, so that the pirates could have a fresh play experience?
I actually feel for Halo fans. I hope you guys can avoid the spoilers, like I couldn't with Sons of Liberty.

I am not worried about the impact of this leak has to Microsoft. Sure it's going to do some sales damage since it was released so fucking EARLY but the poor guys at Bungie, they must be devastated.Marconelly said:
Errr sorry I guess I should have been specific, this is probably the largest piracy act in the world of videogames. I'm pretty sure these regular movie releases as a whole is a much bigger problem along with the music and software. As a single event the XP leak probably ranks pretty high but other than that I honestly wouldn't know, I'm not into the whole piracy scene.
I honestly don't think there's going to be any problems related to spoilers in this forum. All threads and posts will be spoiler edited beforehand because I highly doubt anyone is going to want to incur the wrath of 200+ people.
For those of you who chose to download the leak: please be mindful about spoilers and use the spoiler tag.

Uh oh, people actually ruined the MGS2 storyline when it was released? That sucks, I better go into a media blackout starting now.
Exactly what Deepthroat said. There are too many entanglements and contracts in the way for that to happen. Retailers need a firm date for such a high profile title and any changes would wreak mass chaos in terms of shipment, manufacturing, product allocation, and marketing.
yeah, its a complete 180..bobafett said:
maybe it's cuz it's in the news section on other sites now..
i dunno..
This is crazy. This could do significant damage just by virtue of how early it is and WHO plays these games. Halo fans aren't exactly technically stupid, and the temptation is probably going to hook a lot of them into downloading the thing.
EDIT: Obviously I don't mean to imply that this is going to hurt MS in any way. The game will still sell millions. It just might sell a few hundred thousand copies less.

This makes me fucking angry. There are few houses in the world that put the dedication and care to their project, and manage their PR as carefully as Bungie. The whole media story has been incredibly well scripted for the biggest possible excitement.
Then everything is ruined only a month away from release because of a bunch of pirates. I guess the guys at Bungie are pretty irritated at Microsoft, too - they should have realized that this is the hottest property to steal and control the copies very strictly. Hell, it wouldn't have cost so much to fly ten armed guards from US to all of the factories pressing the discs.

Betas and release candidates do, but this news suggests that what was leaked was based on the gold master version - the one they use for mass production - i.e. no fingerprint.
Whoha stop there, don't insult the whole french nation by putting that moron Reirom with us. He's from Brazil, not France ! And how he "knew" is a mystery, or maybe just some luck (he got the date wrong by one day). This guy is the worst liar you will ever find.m0dus said:
While this certainly sucks, I don't think it'll have any significant effect on sales 'cause 1) no live support 2) you need modded xbox to play 3) you need fat pipe and dvd burner to dl it.... so immediately, people who want to play on live will buy the game anyway and people with modded xbox's who *don't* care about live would probably not have bought the game to begin with.

No, it could still be leaked just as easily...
Fewer people would be able to take advantage of it, however...
This is much worse than the Doom 3 leak, which happened only after it had hit SOME retail stores. Also, in that case, there was at least some valuable information to be gained from early impressions (performance info).
This just sucks.
Not even, more in the 'thousands' less I'm sure.puck1337 said:
Not implying that this is good. It's a damn shame for the guys who worked on it. Also I'm not implying people should fill Microsoft's pockets. They shouldnt. it should sell just enough to break even, and the rest should be given away for free. Or the price should be much, and much lower on all games. Profit is for the corrupt humans in this world that make the place worse for the poor.
That's just not how this corrupt world works yet though. If you can't pay for it. I think you may download it. If you can, then you're a thief. If you pay, your acting righteously, but you paid too much.
I can't believe I just read that. Ahhh to be young and oblivious to the world again.

The fact that you have a PC to post from proves that you have money to spend on luxuries, and are thus just as culpable as anyone of being greedy.
