Title: Ladies & Gentlemen. I Give you Hallfight
Post by: karajorma on February 29, 2004, 05:41:03 am

Since I've been putting up the various FS1 & 2 Cutscenes in avi format over the last couple of weeks I thought I'd make a bit of a larger announcement about having put up hallfight for download so that no one misses it this time :)

Hallfight is one of the best cutscenes in the entire series. It is also the only time we ever get to see the shivans in person.

Get it here (http://swooh.com/peon/karajorma/Downloads/hallfight.avi)

watched the hallfight - not as emotionally engaging as the intro, but hell yeah its a good fight! :D

Kept getting bits and pieces in the middle where it would be speeding up a bit too much. A little glitch perhaps?

Are you going to put off of them up?
Last I looked in Fractux's FTP it was empty of AVIs

Yeah I was thinking of putting back up the .avi files from FS2, but I wasn't sure if I should. If I do that, then do I just leave up the vp files as well??

And with the interplay release going on, I'm in a hard place.

The last thing i need is to get pinned for "pirating". With HOTU removing their download as well, I thought this may be the safest thing to do for now.

There are always alternatives though.

Oh yeah, just to clarify, all the FS1 .avi's and all FS1 port files are up on the server, it's just the FS2 .avi's and VP's that are gone.

Cool ass cutscene, as always. Reminds me why I love FS :D

But ever since that one topic, where (I think it was) Stryke pointed out the sumo-shivan in the background, I can't help but look at it EVERY TIME :D

I didn't realise the FS1 avi's were still up :) I'll rotate through the FS2 cutscenes then. Since it will probably take me a couple of months to go through them all at the rate of one a week I doubt that I'll get complained at for piracy.

You think I should just post all the FS2 AVI's back up?

Post by: karajorma on February 29, 2004, 12:32:44 pm

It's up to you but I do think it's somewhat more of a risk than what I'm doing.  I'm only gonna put the movies up one at a time and I'll stop if I get complained at :)

A big FTP full of the FS2 movies does look a lot more dodgy than a fan sharing a single movie at a time.

I've got the disks so I can watch 'em anyway.:p

It is a cool bit of movie though.

The FS2 cutscenes, except for the first and last ones, are hardly worth putting up for download... :o I mean, they're nice, but I think they're a huge waste of render-time. They could have delivered something like that with stills and the same voice acting, and had some more scenes like Hall Fight instead. Then again, it is quite an artistic addition to the game, which is a refreshing change... bah, what can I say, I love it all. ;)

I really liked the FS2 scenes. Especially that shot of the dead Orion still in orbit.

Is it just me who sees some similarity in shape of the white Shivan claws to the Covenant's energy swords in Halo?

Which is the first one. ;) But they certainly do add something to the game, don't they? It feels like the game is making so much more of a statement, that the story is on this huge profound scale... it's big and we're small. :)

I took it down to put this one up :)  I'm going to rotate through the cutscenes so I should eventually come back to it :)

I'm going to take down Hallfight on Sunday so if anyone else wants it grab it. Not certain what to put up next though.

After Hallfight and the Intro, I'd put up the Ending. :)

Well, I think he's just talking FS1 movies at the time... :) I meant the destruction of the Lucifer.

Actually I'm quite happy to take requests from both :) There are quite a few people who never managed to get the movies from Fractux's FTP while it was up :)

The FS1 outro sounds fine to me though :)
