Halo 2 leaked onto the Net

Microsoft has pledged to "aggressively pursue" whoever leaked Halo 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to the Xbox hit, onto the Net.

The game, a key title for MS' console in the run up to Christmas, is believed to have surfaced on Usenet and the Web last night, possibly in the form of a localised French version, according to early reports. The download is said to weigh in at 3GB and lack support for Xbox Live multi-player gaming.

What's the big deal? Games get leaked all the time. It's almost an insult to the developer if his game isn't worth leaking.
