Halo 3 Hits Torrent Sites

Home : News : Halo 3 : News Story

The full game has now been uploaded to the Internet by (what we assume are) land-dwelling pirates.

Bungie Studio’s highly anticipated third installment in the Halo series has been leaked onto the internet and can now be downloaded from a number of torrent websites.

The accidental early release of the title by retailers such as Argos has also led to a number of spoiler-ridden videos, one of which features the game’s entire ending sequence.

For those of you who prefer to abide by the law and purchase your own copy of Halo 3, you need wait but a few more days, whether you live in the US (25th), Europe (26th) or Japan (27th).
