Halo 4 leak being investigated; Disc 2 contains multiplayer installation
Images have surfaced on social sites NeoGAF and Reddit, depicting two Halo 4 retail discs, and the Xbox 360 dashboard featuring the game ready to be played.
"We have seen the reports of 'Halo 4' content being propped on the Web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation," a Microsoft spokesperson told Joystiq.
In clarifying whether the images represent the actual artwork featured on retail copies of Halo 4, Microsoft explained the need for two discs.
According to the publisher, Halo 4's second disc "contains data that will need to be installed on an Xbox 360 hard drive or compatible flash storage device with at least 8GB of available memory in order to access 'Halo 4's' extensive suite of multiplayer features." Microsoft has employed a similar system for first-party games like Forza Motorsport 4.
Once the data is installed only the first disc will be required to access Halo 4's single- and multiplayer content.

Oasis And I thought Microsoft had upped their security.
Has nothing to do with Microsoft. At the end of the day, it comes down to the retailers who stole/sold the game early.

I'm happy Microsoft is taking this more seriously than Activision took the Black Ops 2 leak.

I figured something like this would happen. People should just wait so they don't risk being banned.
