Gamespy carries news that Halo 2 has been leaked onto various torrent, Usenet and FTP sites throughout the web

QUOTE
Last night the full version of Bungie's sci-fi first-person shooter Halo 2 was leaked and is available on various peer-to-peer (bittorrent) networks, Usenet groups or ftp sites.

The warezed Halo 2 game is a PAL version, with French speech and English subtitles, so it would be rather safe to assume that it originates from Europe.

The download weighs in at a whopping 3 gigs, but the size doesn't seem to be a deterrent, as a brief check of one known bittorrent stream showed that it was already being downloaded by 25,000 people.

Microsoft is already aware of this situation and is downplaying its significance by saying that even though it is the final version, the leaked Halo 2 will not allow people to access Xbox Live.


Microsoft have stated that the leak won't affect the launch date of Halo 2

It's a good point, especially this part:

Who benefits from this leak?

Certainly not the miniscule number of gamers out there who 1) have modified their Xboxes and flashed the system with an illegal, karma-wrecking, copyright-avoiding BIOS, and 2) managed to find and complete the 3-gig download before all heck broke loose, and 3) read French.


Nice find!

Gamespot report early 'sale' of Halo 2.

Also they expect to have a review of the game ready for 7th Nov. If you look on Ebay though, there are probably many consumer reviews already by the sounds of it!
