Halo 2 Piracy
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 [b]piracy@microsoft.com[/b] 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.

Piracy is bad thing. But in an alternate universe where paranormal activity is normal in one's twisted mine, this might actually be a good thing. But in my case, I say anyone that does piracy should go to hell. No offense guys, but I think the real fans wouldn't just forget about all of the suspense and actually pirate this rich and glorious wonder of the world but instead wait until Halo 2 comes out in November the 9th so you'll get so excited that you'll enjoy playing the game more than ever before. I think the sure intensity of waiting for this amazing gift of God himself would be enough to inspire you not to go too far and actually break the rules like pirating games. And thats take me back to the beggining of what I said. Like no offense really but you kinds of guys are truly and horribly twisted. Anyway, I think it would be pretty stupid to actually pirate the game. I am saying this because with the FRENCH version you are playing, there would be no point in playing the campaign mode. Now seriously, would there be? Like practically most people wouldn't even be able to understand one single word the anybody is saying in the game. I rest my case. In conclusion, do the right thing and stop pirating the game of Halo 2. Even if you do already have the game already pirated up and you play it all the time, you should just grab that worthless and shameful disc, look away from it, and just throw it away on some hard cement any walk away. Yeah I know that must be hard but trust me, you will happy and proud of yourself that you did the right thing and that you are a true fan of the inspiring game, Halo 2.
