Halo 2 Leaked...


Recommended Posts

What do you mean by Nuked (I tried using Nforce before but it was too complicated with no one being able to help me, so I stuck to Xbins and suprnova)

By nuked he meant nuked.

At least try to learn some of the basic terms when you fuċk around with warez.

:cry:  I want that game , i know where to download it but i don't do it  :cry:

What's stopping you?

Your conscience?

Get it & buy it (which, nowadays, are two different things), no harm done.

Since you're using Windows they are punishing you ... so, they don't need to sue you.

Indeed, lol :rofl:

Nuked usually means a bad rip or it doesnt work right or missing stuff, and when its nuked they usually "flame" the group for a bad release

Huh?

Check that link earlier in my post ;)

Nuking is there to stop distribution of fuċked up or crappy releases.

And since it's done on a site based level (thus by a single or very small circle of person(s)), how should there be 'flaming' involved?

read this earlier on bbc news :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3743110.stm

and i quote :

" We consider downloading this code or making it available for others to download as theft," said the company in a statement "

All of you who have stated that you have downloaded it might want to edit your post as if microsoft did pursue everyone who downloaded it then neowin would have no choice but to hand your information to microsoft in a court of law :no:

what the **** is dvd 5 and 9, are they regions?

584735465[/snapback]

dvd9 is like when a dvd has 2 layers on it .. so you can store a lot more then a "regular" dvd5.. which is only 1 layer.. that's about 4.7gb as we know.. dvd9 is about double.. or something like that :p

what the **** is dvd 5 and 9, are they regions?

584735465[/snapback]

DVDs can either have one or two layers. DVD5 can hold 4.7 GB of data, and DVD9 can hold twice that much. The reason that DVD9 is bad when it comes to pirating is that household DVD burners cannot burn dual-layer DVDs.

584735465[/snapback]

DVD5 is a single layered DVD that holds ~4.7GB of data.

DVD9 is a dual-layered disc holding more than 9GB.

Edit:

Actually there are dual layer burners now :p

thats what i was trying to say

584735449[/snapback]

Oops, sorry ;)

Didn't mean to sound rude...

All of you who have stated that you have downloaded it might want to edit your post as if microsoft did pursue everyone who downloaded it then neowin would have no choice but to hand your information to microsoft in a court of law  :no:

584735464[/snapback]

Because Microsofts PR guys now make the law? :rolleyes:

If I downloaded it I did only that.

If I buy stolen goods, am I a thief?

It's always the same basic debate all over again ;)

what the **** is dvd 5 and 9, are they regions?

584735465[/snapback]

DVD 5 = Just one layer, one side. About 5GiB of data fit on one (hence the name)

DVD 9 = Two layers on one side. About 9GiB of data fit on there (etc.)

DVD 10, DVD 18, go figure ;)

//e: Holy sh?t! 6 posts about this one while I was writing:woot::

and I love how he is bypassing the filters :whistle:

Microsoft can come after me if they want. But sadly they would find nothing. I'm a true loyal fan to bungie and I have not downloaded the release (partially because I was at school all day and couldn't find it anymore when I came home but I guess I could applaud the big M and Bungie for stopping the hosts.....I guess.....*tear*)

Personally, Ill buy it. If you enjoy a game you really should. Not that Im an angel, but the amount of money that goes into some of these games is only rivaled by major motion pictures. These guys need jobs too so they can buy pizza, and the box for the pizza is made by a paper maker, and the sauce is made by the tomato farmers, and delivered by the guy that would probably download the game. Anyway its good for the economy to support those who work hard to bring you cool games. If it was ALL free, no doubt the quality would not be there. If free quality was availavle then where is it?

Anyway, id still like to see some screenshots ;)

Ummm....those screenshotes are more of 'renders' I would say. The Xbox version doesn't look THAT good (sadly).

But like I said before, in response to this leak, I finished my pre-order on Halo 2 (put the other CAN$50.46 down) and walked away with a smile.

Yeah, you've gotta be fast here on neowin. But then again, you would know that having been the 5th person to sign up. :p

584735526[/snapback]

Indeed :happy:

Anyway, I'd be happy to see a PC version of this some day - SO GUY BUY IT EVERYONE! :p

(Considering it runs on the same xbox hardware as Halo 1, I'm hoping perhaps this time they manage to not totally screw up the PC version ;))

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
