I feel really bad for Bungie employees. :/ All the work they put into this game and it gets leaked just like that. (N) :no: Shame on him/her who did this.

Personally I wont even take a look at the screens or anything that gets revealed.. I want to take that all in Nov 9. (Y)

It happens to all games, every movie, every album of music, everything.

Don't get all worked up about it, it's not like there's anything anyone could do... :pirate:

everyones making this into a crying story for bungie employees. well, guess what, they get paid no matter what. the programers dont feel the hit, at least during this game. the only one taking the blow is management right now. their are alot of people out there who really work hard to make something their proud of, why dont we cry everytime their game is pirated.

microsoft should just find some other way to deal with pirates, cause the "rrr im a big scary company" thing isnt working

fyi, i dont have an xbox, so i dont care.

I'll state it again....everyone please buy this. If you pirate this game...a.k.a Download it, please purchase it anyways.

I'm reconsidering if I should or shouldn't download it. I have bought the special edition anyways. I love bungie... Love them enought o give them money (hard for a college student to do)

Have some of you read the pages over at Bungie? That is the funniest piece I've read in a while:

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.

I hope they videotape the hunt, it could be as cool as the game itself! :p

You have to wonder how it got out.

Did someone from Bungie leak it?

Did someone from Microsoft leak it?

In BandInABubble (Australian) they were playing Halo 2, and that was last month...

This version is french or something.. so blame them.

It can be a security guard at the DVD Replication Shop that handed a copy to a friend or a copy that was stolen in a box: one CD missing in a 1000-CD box won't be seen.

I guess that Microsoft would pay a nice bounty for that head.

Yes, Blame the French, that is a good idea: We do not deserve better: we should have put the other versions: How selfish of us to think about ourselves first. (End of Sarcasm) :woot:

I love halo, and will buy halo 2, but being a curious as i am, i couldn't help but take a look. i stopped playing the SP, because i don't want to ruin it with this french version, but i will continue to dabble in the multiplayer mode. Sorry to say i'm a little dissapointed with it. Out of the 11 maps, only 9 are new, the other two are exactly or very similar to blood gultch and battle creek, think of them as updated. the other 9 are actually very fun, and very well designed. Gameplay is the same as halo 1, except that most of the vehicles have a boost mode, and during this boost mode, you can't shoot with the vehicle. Also i hate the new ghost, i shoots too fast, but drives slower than on halo 1, unless in boost mode, then its a slight bit faster. I also love the new needler fun fun fun, as well as two guns at once.

Just my 2 cents, and i won't be posting anymore about halo 2, unless you'd like me to:

Please don't hate me, i'm only informing you

PEACE:

      Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
