Crimsøn Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I thought about makin this earlier instead of posting this shit in whatever video game thread was around... and Weapon X pushed for it so here we go... 8 min Halo 2 trailor, fresh from E3 This video also appears are newly made Halo discs, (in high res) replacing the game demos...also has making/commentary videos. Multiplayer videos, featuring Elites, duel wielding, and formentioned commentary videos Sorry mac users, only comes in windows format New features for Halo 2 Improved graphics, physics Vastly improved AI (Elites won't just stand around waiting...they will HUNT you, move objects, scale walls, etc...Marines will also be much smarter, you can command them, make them drive the vehicles, send squads, etc..) Dual Wielding (Check the video above) Virtually everything will be destructable and can be used for cover (Different materials will provide longer cover [i.e. a wooden table vs a totalled car]) In multiplayer you can choose to be a Spartan (Master Chief) or an Elite The warthog will have different turrets mounted (rocket, chain gun, etc) You can lower your gun and run twice as fast New covenant Species and weapons OSDTs (BAD ass marines) and new human weapons EVERYTHING else in the game will be much more fine tuned Now for some pictures....

Crimsøn Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Originally posted by adderall doom 3 > halo 2 Pfftfft, don't be bringing that jazz up in here, that's not what the threads about foo. Playing as elites in multiplayer is gonna be great...plus energy blades...fuuuuun. The story of Halo 2 takes place after Halo (duhhh) when Master Chief arrives at Earth he looks out the window of his ship only to see a scarred Earth being bombarded by Covenant forces...so he opens the hatch (the air pressure's blowing all crazy like) and he just fuckin jumps out the ship and free falls. ^ The Halo 2 trailor linkage ) So yea, Covenant are fucking up Humanity and you have to come save the day. Halo 2 will also fully utilize Xbox live, so you can play around the world, or around the block. That's it for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeforAnEYE Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I can't fucking wait for this game. I am not leaving my room, or showering, or eating when this game comes out. This game is going to rock my world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsøn Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 The Brute So, the game launches on November 9th, 2004, but we bet you can't wait until then to check out what the special, limited collector's edition looks like, so, here, for the first time ever, are pics of the box prototype. Halo 2: Release Date and Collector's Edition Unveiled Halo 2 will be available in stores on November 9, 2004. That's the long and the short of it. You'll be playing Campaign, multiplayer or both on November 9th. And if you pre-order, you'll have the chance to purchase an extra-fancy collector's edition in a metal box.

Crimsøn Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 More news from E3... During E3 Bungie set up a special room to test out Halo 2, and a few lucky bastards got to play each othet for 30 minutes each The game is going to have all the stuff you'd expect. It'll support voice communication, you can even leave voice messages when you're trying to set up a game. You can form clans - your can customize emblems - custom colors - a blue metal suit, with yellow secondary colors. Being able to customize your player is kind of awesome. Naturally, Covenant Elites can do the same thing. The players also figured out the new tracking rocket system. A locked on rocket can follow a speeding vehicle in a vicious arc, It's pretty depressing when you think you're safely out of range and you hear that "WHOOOOOSH!" But boarding was a hoot. It makes those close up vehicle skirmishes all the more frightening. If you try to smash another player against a rock wall, there's always a danger he could jump up, board you and kill you with your own ride. We also watched a new phenomenon - the Rocket Hog parasite. Since you can board any part of a vehicle, a red player can board the rocket turret of a Blue-driven Hog. The blue player's only recourse is to abandon the hog, or drive the enemy rocket jerk somewhere he can do less damage - then of course they have to square off against each other. Results can be hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Those pictures won't look as good when they're on a television at 60hz interlaced running at less than half the resolution they're posted at here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know we hear loads of noise about how our screens are fake, or pre-renders or Photoshop, well as E3 probably demonstrated they're not. They're taken from gameplay, in the game engine, using a couple of tools, some developed specifically by and for Bungie. This 3D screenshot is taken using one of those tools. The only real trickery we use in screenshots is our ability to take them at very high resolution – this doesn't actually affect the polygon counts or effects, just the actual screen resolution. We can and occasionally do take them at native 480p, but then they won't look cool as wallpapers, and magazines appreciate the sharper res for print purposes.

Halo for the PC would be cool...custom levels, banshees, energy swords, plasma rocket gun...but no controller, I hate playing with a mouse and keyboard. If you have an ethernet hub, just connect your xbox (and your internet) to the hub and download xboxconnect. If you, or anyone else, ever wants to play just hit up this thread and we'll work out the rest from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
