Fans of the hit game, Halo, were recently amazed to discover that the eagerly awaited sequel, Reach, had been uploaded on to many popular file sharing sites for fans to download. Once news of the leak spread across the internet, popular file sharing sites were inundated with opportunistic fans seeking an illegal copy of the much awaited game.

Although the game is not scheduled for release in the UK until September 14th, there was an advanced copy available to press and reviewers on the Xbox website. Unfortunately, hackers managed to find their way through the security blocks and steal a copy of the game.

Initially, the game hijackers claimed they had no intention of releasing copies over the Internet, but since it is now available to all and sundry on file sharing sites, it appears they have since changed their minds.

Microsoft have been quick to come forward and remind users that they take a dim view on the game leak and will be leaving no stones unturned in their investigation into what happened and who was responsible—the implication being that those who might have downloaded a sneaky copy of the game had better watch out.
