Halo Sequel Hackers Upload Game on File Sharing Site

The brand new sequel to the wildly popular game, Halo, has recently found its way on to file sharing sites, much to the fury of the game’s manufacturer, Bungie. With Reach tipped to be the hottest release of the gaming world this year, many file sharing sites reached meltdown levels with huge numbers of people taking advantage of the illegal copies available.

The game is not due for an official UK release until September 14th, but enterprising hackers managed to breech a block on the Xbox website where an advanced copy of the game was being made available to press and reviewers.

The file format of the illegal game copies uploaded on the file sharing networks needed to be converted before it will work on games consoles, but judging by the positive feedback on many internet forums, it seems like there are plenty of people who have had no problem managing that.

Unsurprisingly, Microsoft has not been backwards in coming forward with a fast response to the digital hijack of the Halo sequel, Reach, and they have been quick to warn users of the popular file sharing sites that the leak will be “aggressively” investigated.
