I guess it's a good game.
-
Well no ****. Did anyone think it would be bad?
-
Understatement of the year award goes to.....
-
I give Halo 2 a 0 out of 100 until it comes out on PC.
nyah.
-
"You know that ****ty game called Halo? Well, this is the sequel"
-As told to Penny Arcade from Bungie on advertising ideas
-
This all comes as no surprise. But I want the PC version, cuz multiplay has gotta be a major factor in those rankings, and I'm not getting X-Box Live.
-
And I'm getting a ****ing X-Box.
-
W00t! I so cannot wait till tuesday!
-
Too bad you won't live to see it. :D
-
Eh? DID YOU POISON MY ICE CREAM?!!
-
:D
There are also cobras in your sheets.
-
Oooh! Bedfellows! :D
-
Halo 2 for Xbox owners, Half Life 2 for PC owners.
no regrets here, what about you KT?
-
Right now, I'm taking HL2 for granted because
1) It's not out yet.
2) I have a ticket to get it for free (came with my ATI 9600 )
3) I never played Half-Life
I'm also a lot more into the Halo story and stuff, so yeah...
-
I think your just a liiitle bit resentful...
-
I just hope there's no flood on earth... :nervous:
-
BTW Bungie has posted the manual:

EDIT: And yes, that is Sarge.
-
Kickass.
-
This game is gonna rock so much. I just watched one of GS's vid's on it, and maaaaan. The AI'll actually drive the Warthogs around with you on gun for once!
'Marine! Did I give you permission to *****?!"

About right. Consoles? Meh... I hope it comes to PC eventually.
-
Ditto...any news on that at all?
Halo 2's just a console game with good graphics to me until it comes out on PC.
-
I still don't think a PC version of Halo 2 will come to light however. Nothing has been stated at all.
-
Oh gosh, an even better looking way of putting a little cross over your enemy and pressing fire.......
Must admit, getting really bored with FPS games these days.
-
BTW Half-Life 2 is coming to the Xbox.. Sooo...
Half-Life 2 for PC owners
Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 for Xbox owners.
:D

It'll come. To not port it at all would be a huge mistake. Especially financially.
-
Give it a year. Maybe two.
-
I bet Setekhs playing Halo 2 right now.... It should be out it Australia by now.

Just hope it's not Gearbox again............
Albeit Halo2 is reportedly a lot more optimised for the X-box architecture, so a Pc port would be more difficult and thus expensive - and also more unlikely.
Not that you'd be missing too much, though - Pc is the king of FPS anyways, what would be a big FPS on the xbox is just another fish in the sea on the PC.
-
Heres some moretantalizing screenies for those of you who do not have an Xbox:
w00t! Teammates that help!
(http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/472/1099797968.jpg)
More of dress-uniform Sarge.

Mmmm explosion.

Halo 2 Xbox has 1.5 million preorders, I think financially the PC version might be a money hole for the gain to be gotten from it. I really think MS might want to keep this exclusive, if not permanently, for a long while.
I'd like to see a PC version though, just a better port this time around.
-
To be honest (RE: screenies), I don't think Halo2 looks much better than, for example, Jedi Academy on the PC. It seems all very angular - i.e. plain and low detailed. Original had that problem, too.
-
A couple more:
"Wow, he's taller then I thought..."
(http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/472/1099796708.jpg)
Grunty grunt.
(http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/472/1099796827.jpg)
Heads up!
(http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/472/1099796779.jpg)
Drop off.
(http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/472/1099796826.jpg)
Move out!

I'm starting to be reminded of when every freakin' game that game out was more or less a duplicate of Street Fighter:
Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc etc etc.
Now you have:
Unreal, Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Halo....
At least the Thief series still stands pretty unique :). No crosshairs and killing everyone is the fastest way to lose.
-
Well, I suppose I should buy H2 - X-Box version for now, Mac version in what? 10 years time?
Damn You Bungie!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
*Reluctantly heads for the store*

lol

And how would adding another... at least Half a million sales on PC, be a money pit?
-
Who cares, all I know is that I've played the game for about 14 hours now and I've barely even looked at the single player part. It's very very good.
-
Haven't played a FPS multiplayer in well over 9 months, and I played H2's deathmatch for 8 hours straight today. If anything I'd say the basic play dynamic has been altered in the way FS2 was to FS1.
Oh and the energy sword is a ****ing satisfying weapon to chop up enemy ass with.

Halo 2 did break every record in one day selling 2,4 million copies (125,000,000$) and expected sell 5 million copies end of this month and expected overall selling 10 million copies in xbox versio.
those who waits PC versio needs wait to atleast next november

Already finished the main campaign on co-op. Twice. :D The story is fantastic, quite complicated - that's why my brother and I are going through again so quickly, so we get it all. Quite involving stuff. :)
-
I have a feeling it'll be short, but if the 10 hour start-to-finish claims are true then it'll still offer more play time than most/all other FPSs, purely through Halo's rather unique virtue of replayability.

more like 15, but there's quite a lot of story to digest properly..
i especially found sarge amusing, particularly when talking to the brutes, and 343 guilty spark "don't shake the lightbulb!"
-
You'll need to play it through at least twice to catch all the story. The subtitles are kind of useful because a lot of what the prophets say can slip past you. But yeah, I feel it's only a little shorter than the original - but it's far more dense, the action is really tight, the story moves along rapidly, and it doesn't have that stretched out feeling that the original had when you were going back through the old sections in Two Betrayals and the Maw.
Yeah Turnsky, I found there was generally more humour in the whole thing actually. Have you finished the whole thing yet? I'm most intrigued by the Gravemind, myself...
-
Now just waiting Halo3 or DLC
Ending was so sweet
-
Agreed, HIG. Just a matter of time now. :p
I was expecting the sudden ending too, but now the only question on my mind is: when are we going to go back and rescue Cortana?!!
-
Well...
Cortana sounded kinda evil in end when he said to that Flood God "Shoot" maybe she turned evil
well maybe next Halo happens in Earth only where MC would go after Covenant remaining forces and then finding Ark
gotta wait new halo books if they explain it
-
ARG! Have to get the game! Today or tommorow!
-
No, hig, she didn't have much of a choice, being stuck where she was...
