New Halo2 Movie

[Ames]

Sven Co-op is coming that's atleast what I head... I heard also... that Halo 2 sucks compared to #1

Minor spoiler..

According to OXM, there is a crappy cliffhanger ending and it's only 12-14 hours long.

 

[`unreal]

everyone knows the console-to-pc port was crappy - the performance was horrible too...

and o yea - whenever i played halo, i get like a feeling that im in a zoomed-up mode, the wideness of sight-range is limited, and this is probably because master cheif is in a suit or woteva, but i so hate it... doesnt destroy the fun tho..

and O YEA sven co-op for HL2

 

[Warbie]

Come on guys, what other game let's you take on an army of (rock hard) aliens, with a m8, with sweet vehicles, and more explosions than you can shake a stick at?

There's a place for innovation in video games - and a place for just all out, good fun. I couldn't give a rats ass if Halo 2 introduces nothing new to the genre. As long as co-op is as well implemented, and it offers as much challenge as Halo on the XBox, then it'll be very cool.

(and Doom 3 sux balls)

 

[A2597]

I liked HaloPC...of course, I also got excellent framerates...

 

[K e r b e r o s]

Need..co-op mod...fast

The Modding Community needs to do this on their own. Valve stated awhile back, this would not be an official feature.

It didn't look that great to me, to be honest. I didn't see anything in it that made me drop my jaw.

I liked the trailer, and I did see lots of things that made my jaw drop. New enemies, new bosses...jebus! ^^

Even the gameplay didn't impress me. I enjoy the gameplay style of Halo, but it doesn't look like it brings anything new to the table.

Blah, you never know about this one. My critique about the (Halo) game, was that the levels eventually lost their touch after sometime. Its also, because Bungie did'nt think their game would be that big.

I think with the sequel, their bringing out the big guns, most of the levels look entirely unique and well...actually purposeful. My only other gripe, was that most of the storyline, could be found outside of the game, much rather than actually being in it.

constructive criticism: it looks just like the old halo, nothing new, nothing exciting, no new gameplay, no new engines, no physcis, no dynamic lighting and shadowing, not for pc.

Its obvious you've not read nor seen many Halo 2 videos. This is okay, from your last comment, it does'nt seem you've cared much about Halo 2 or its features. No harm done, but just know everything you said, has been changed on a wide scale.

It will be for PC. It will be released Jan or Feb, 2005.

yeah what i hate the most is that they don't make it to pc first, the same for burnout 3 and ninja gaiden

So, basically you hate it because its not coming out for PC...yet? You also forget, it is made on PC. You cant make maps on an XBox.

but seriously halo 2 doesn't looks exciting, i have played and finished halo pc, i didn't like it particularly more than other fps games.

Most Halo fans agree...the port over kinda sucked. But for what it was, so long as you were familiar with the original version, it was'nt that large a kick in the nuts for us.

Not that its a bad thing of course, it'll be awesome, i just hope to god i dont have to go through each level twice, like in the original game

This wont be a problem.

The first game was farrrr too linear. And yeah I hated having to go through everything twice.

...Uh, how do I say this without sounding funny? (Oh yea, check your PM's). Something the forums are'nt aloud to see in public.

I think the point is that Halo 2 is like a sterotypical FPS without taking any risks.

Its got one of the highest ranked Mature ratings out on the market now. Its taking a whole lotta risks this time around.

I think I'll send you a PM too...

Stalker will suceed in creating a convincing atmosphere as well.

Too bad Stalker wont have any blood decals. I think that will be the first mod to the engine itself.

Halo 2 just doesn't have that in my opinion. They've added somethings like ragdolls and dual weapons. But, what is the atmosphere to draw me in?

You've missed it for nearly eight years. Eight years.

halo.bungie.org/story

Go there. Read up...tons of theories...and those theories all point to their sources. Read the sources. You'll get hooked. It also started with the Marathon series, which was basically a prelude to the whole Halo events.

So basically, the story goes back as far as 1989. Its a very powerful storyline, and it makes my head hurt sometimes. Ask me a question

(Yea, but I know what you mean.)

For atmosphere...this game will make you shudder.

but I'm not seeing anything cool to me. Maybe its just me, but I want some stylized atmosphere and other cool features in my first person shooters. I still probably buy Halo 2 when it comes to the PC (in 4 years or whenever Microsoft says so).

Fine. I'm sending you changelog for Halo 2.

Same with Seinfeld.

i personally think half life 2 is much better, and most xbox halo-fanb0yz i have spoken to havent even heard of half life 2

I'm not so much a Halo fanboy, I do know where my limits are. ...but I've definately heard about Half-Life 2. I cant wait for Day of Defeat source.

NOTE: Pm's will be going out later this afternoon. I have'nt had a good breakfast, and I'm tired and horney. I'll come back and fling the changelogs at you folks. (Its very close to being an official changelog. After about two months...bungie went quiet.)

and i allready HAVE bought an XBOX just for halo 2 plus now i can buy any game that comes out for any console... muhahhah... MUHAHAHAH!

^^^^ When was the last time you played a FPS that lasted that? That is a long time. And according the OXM they said

Spoiler

the END was bad not the ENDING, that said that it makes room for a Halo 3, which is fine by me

It will be for PC. It will be released Jan or Feb, 2005.

Where have you heard this?

 

[K e r b e r o s]

halo.bungie.org - I've heard some other, less official sources say August 2005 as speculation.

 

[ShadowFox]

If it came out January or February, I might actually buy it.

Got a direct link?

i told u guyz once and that was the second time ..that aint spam its a reminder ....people these days ..no minded fudgers

 

[Mithrandir2]

14-15 is LONG for a FPS

 

[Immortal]

14-15 is LONG for a FPS

Not really that long. But it depends on how you like to play.

 

[Sui]

14 -15 hours IS long for an FPS. im sure HL2 will only be about that, or less. and i like to make sure ive killed EVERYTHING on the map, and been in EVERY nook and cranny- so for me it will probally 20 hours

 

[AmishSlayer]

Spoiler

I agree 14-15 hours is definitely long enough...but with this cliffhanger ending...that is just plain annoying since I heard that Bungie's next project is not Halo 3...that pretty much assures us that we won't see Halo 3 in the next couple years Yes...now I've played Halo 2 all the way to the end. I was left hanging like the reviews said...but by no means does that make me like the game less.

The way they left it should make for a very good Halo 3

If you compare the 2. Halo 2 is like twice the length of Halo. I beat Halo in like 5-6 hours. There were less levels and it was quite easy on normal.

 

[Mithrandir2]

Everyone who's played the leaked copy says you have to be a GOD to beat it on legendary


not to mention people have already discovered an unlockable map

Sweet.

Link? This addiction to computer gaming is getting expensive.

SOF style of Mature? Even Doom 3? I don't think so. I'm willing to bet that they don't drop the f-bomb in the game. If you call getting a M rating is taking risks, you have problems.

Too bad Stalker wont have any blood decals. I think that will be the first mod to the engine itself.

Have you seen the DX9 renderer of Stalker? It will make you disown you X-Box and Playstation 2 and come to the righeteouness known as the PC.

You've missed it for nearly eight years. Eight years.

halo.bungie.org/story

Go there. Read up...tons of theories...and those theories all point to their sources. Read the sources. You'll get hooked. It also started with the Marathon series, which was basically a prelude to the whole Halo events.

I thought Halo and Marathon were on seperate story lines. What do I know. I do know that I shouldn't have to read a book to understand the story. That went out with Quake.

My beef isn't with the story either. It is with how it is presented. I've played Morrowind, Doom 3, and others and it made it seem like a world. Halo 2 doesn't give that. Painkiller didn't do that either and it never has gotten critical acclaim. Games have gotten to the point where they can't just focus on action. They have to focus on everything else.

To be giving Halo 2 props for being a fun game is one thing, but it is another to say that it is in a league of its own. Halo 2, doesn't have the stuff to take it to the next level. If Halo 2 came from a no-name developer, it probably get a 80%. That is not a bad score, but it is a far cry from the 95% it is going to get from gaming magazines because it is the sequel to one of the "best" console games of all time.

i can't wait for the pc ver

 

[Mithrandir2]

yea here

*i haven't heard anything on beating it on legendary

http://img87.exs.cx/img87/7287/mp_list.jpg

 

[Warbie]

Estimating how long it takes to beat a game like Halo is ridiculous.

Play it on easy and you can finish the whole game in a few hours - using just the machine gun.

Play it on legendary and it will take you weeks/months of practise to finish.

 

[<RJMC>]

I played Halo2 leak

(cover of flames)

and is trully very good
I also hope that HL2 hav so much action like Halo2
cuz are very cools levels like that big futuristic citys whit lots of enemies and armored vehicles and airships and thats has amazed me
Halo1 is not bad and IMO Halo1 and Halo2 should be in the list of best FPS ever

but you are just PC fanboys that cant accept that a very good game is on consoles

but I still think that HL2 will be better but Halo2 is a good contrincant

 

[disruptioN_]

Those big alien guys look pimp.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

Link? This addiction to computer gaming is getting expensive.

Not off the top of my head, but I've also stated a plausible August release. However, some previous discussion should be in one of the archived articles here.

http://halo.bungie.org/ (Just hop onto the mainsite to see this exact blog).

Sunday is Work Day at HBO HQ
Quick Note - updates will be sparse today; work is continuing behind the scenes, and on real-life (non-computer-related projects) on this grey Sunday. Apologies. If you've sent content that hasn't been posted, please be patient - we'll almost certainly get to it eventually.

Jan-Feb? Possible. One of my sources for this came from some HBO-guru's, and some new speculation from various friends and one microsoft employee. Does'nt make much for a reference but...its pretty close for me. I would'nt be suprised if this starts popping up sooner.

SOF style of Mature? Even Doom 3?

In some element yes, but what SOF and SOF 2 portrayed was realistic human vs human combat. Of no excuse im sure, but Halo 2 portrays a different element.

However, decals will appear on player models and NPC's alike, when injured or even killed. Thus far, IGN and Gamespy have commented this does happen ingame, but was disabled on some accounts for their invite-plays.

I'm willing to bet that they don't drop the f-bomb in the game.

They do.

Source: halo.bungie.org (Do a search in the news archive for September or August. Last I recall, thats were the discussion came up aswell.)

Have you seen the DX9 renderer of Stalker? It will make you disown you X-Box and Playstation 2 and come to the righeteouness known as the PC.

I was addressing blood decals, not the renderer.
Blood decals, will not be in the game.

...I also have a high-end PC.

I know the Computer is godlike.

I do know that I shouldn't have to read a book to understand the story.

My previous point, exactly.

Halo 2 doesn't give that.

Halo 2, has'nt even come out yet. ...

...go read up on some Halo 2 Multiplayer reviews from IGN, Gamespy, or some other pages. I think you missed some of the fun features of the game.

No changelog. None. Nein. I'm making maps for Zero Hour right now

 

[AlCaponeXB]

Why do I sense a huge amount of sarcasm in this thread?

Halo 2 is a very good game, it kind of beats HL2 in someways, due to HL2 lacking any sort of multiplayer action at all, aside from CS: Source.

Imagine HL2 with co-op?

IMAGINE IT PEOPLE?!?! THINK!!!!

*drools...*

Need..co-op mod...fast

Have you played either one of those games? Eh? I didn't think so.

 

[AlCaponeXB]

constructive criticism: it looks just like the old halo, nothing new, nothing exciting, no new gameplay, no new engines, no physcis, no dynamic lighting and shadowing, not for pc.

now what's the name of the song in the video, by the way , the video is in french, is it an add or something.

Not just like old Halo; I would know,and you wouldn't. Nothing new? Oh hell yes there is: vehicles, guns, enemies, story...and just about everything else besides the basic gameplay.
Nothing exciting? That's all a matter of opinion.
New engines? Yes, Halo 2 is using a different engine.
No phyiscs? Uh, hell yes there is.
No dynamic lighting shadowing? Wow, you're talking like you've played this game, but, yet again, you're completely wrong.
Not for PC? Well...I'll give you that, but to rate that against a game, that's just biased B.S. right there.

 

[ShadowFox]

If Halo 2 is using a new engine, then that is a disgrace. It looks almost the same as Halo.

 

[<RJMC>]

I think is use the same but upgraded cuz it hav phisycs systems

 

[Warbie]

It looks good enough - that's all that matters.

We all know that gameplay is the important part - and Halo has that in spades.

Where did uber gfx/DX 9/physics get Doom 3? nowhere - the game plays like a complete turd and has been almost forgotten already.

 

[Mithrandir2]

If Halo 2 is using a new engine, then that is a disgrace. It looks almost the same as Halo.

oh yea and we all know what a major failure that was. i mean come on... goty in 2001, and 6 million copies sold... what a failure.
