OMG! I can't believe that there is an official release date for it! Waited 2 years and now its only a few short months away!!! thsi can also be for other game disscussion as well

I'm somewhat excited, I think Halo is a tad overrated, but still a good game.

i think its underrated lolhttp://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-019.gif

Will it be enjoyable this time?

Will it be enjoyable this time?

KILL THE HERETIC!

Seriously... it was by far the best thing since Half-Life! 5 star 10/10 material! And it looks like the follow up is going to live up to all expectations! I really cant wait to get my hands on it!

Lets just hope it isn't being rushed out, like what happened with Deus Ex 2

how rushed can it be, its been like 2 years!

Halo 2 looks absolutly amazing !

Has anyone else seen the 4 new trailers for it ?

Cant wait !!

i could wait for halo 2. i'd rather get my hands on half-life 2, men of valour: vietnam, rome:total war, and grand theft auto: san andreas before i purchase halo 2.

Call of Duty, in my opinion, is better than Halo. Halo 2 might be differant (looks pretty good)

GTA, talk about over-rated.

But apart from that (I don't know about men of valour), excellent preferences. HL-2, and Rome. That's the professional choice.

Did everyone forget Fable? It is going to be posibly one of the largest games ever. But it has been almost 3 years, I am surprised they haven't trashed it.

It has been pushed back more then HL and Halo-2.

You haven't played halo until you squah 15 of your closest friends and yourself in a room and network 4 boxes together....

The sounds the explosions... *drool*.... I have to go now.... *runs to call her friends*

Theres new trailers for Halo2???, the last on e i've seen is where it walks through a level but you dont play

Yeah, the new video from the Bungie convention is awsome. Halo was such a great game simply because of its mp quality. You and some friends can play that game for hours every day and there will still be new things to do. Halo 2 looks freaking amazing and I think it will be great for the same reasons the first was.

Fable...wow...ive been waiting a lot time and your right, I am surprised at how few people know what it is. but damnit! Halo2, Fable, and gran tourismo 4 are the 1st games on my list.

no doom 3, HL2, metal gear 3, battlefield 2, or tribes vengeance?

where can i see the new trailers at? They didnt come in this months Xbox mag. My top 4 are Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas(when it comes out on xbox), Driver 3, and Mafia 2

Halo 2 is coming out? DAMN! That means I have to finish up Halo! :oops:

ya, need help?

Halo II! :lol:

Loved the first one! I only hope it is worth the wait now. I have long anticipated this game, and if it is not as it appears to be, I am going to kill!

:wink:

I've heard rumors of a Halo for the GBA on the latest on the mailbag on IGN...

Halo2 will definately be worth the wait.

Can you say "Xbox Live enabled?"

Oh yea.


Fable, of course, will be a game I'm also getting. What kind of self-respecting gamer *wouldn't* get it?
And of course Battlefield 2 is also going to kick major ass.

First, IGN is a collection of morons.

Second, I hope the multiplayer is more varied. Since I don't have an XBox, the only time I can play it is when someone brings it to play when we don't have class. That multiplayer got old fast.

Halo 2 is coming out? DAMN! That means I have to finish up Halo! :oops:

I just finished. Wow. That was quite a thrillride. :shock:

I just had a vision from the future....in it I saw Half-Life 2 owning Halo 2 in every possible way.

In all seriousness, it's about damn time they set up a deadline for this game.

well, whether you like it or not, i believe half life 2 will outmatch halo 2 in sales, and in high reviews. simply put, half life 2 was the most talked about game from E3 2003 in any website or magazine. that doesnt mean that it'll be so damn great. we all know all the big talk about how full spectrom warrior would be awesome and all that, but in the end, it was mediocre. i felt it was too rushed. maybe it'll be the same for halo 2 and HL 2?

how rushed can it be, its been like 2 years!

You never no. It isn't as if it is without precedent.

I'm still pretty sure that Halo2 will out match Half Life 2, You that have said it was to short, the Official Xbox Magizine reported that "ALL levels will be ATLEAST double the length of Assult On the Control Room".
Thats pretty damn long if you ask me, and has anybody heard about the new guns?

Halo 1 repeats itself over and over again. Seems like a small island, then it turns out to be never ending.

they also talked abot that in the mag. about repeating enviroments, don't worry it's fixed.

SNIPER-FITTED ASSAULT RIFLE!!!

o yea, And dual weapons

:twisted: :twisted:
i perticularly like the jumping on vehicles and kicking the driver out.

ya thats sounded good also, and the fact that you can be gunner while the AI droves sounds good to

ya. least the marines wont be so stupid they walk into their own gernades anymore.

All hail the new assault rifle. Three round bursts then switch to scope mode and its single shot. The reign of the pistol is over my friends.

although, to be fair, the ghetto sniper did help you learn to use head shots.

lol hey i liked that sniper! :lol:

I dont know about anyone else but I think the target locking of the rocket launcher is a good thing in my opinion and the fact that the vehicles take damage that is great as well.

you're never too old for Halo. I expect 2 will be the same. I bought my reservation card about a month ago. :D

I've hosted several LAN games, but someone always gets prevented from coming so I've never had the opportunity to pwn 15 other people on Hang em High, Slayer Pro, or one of the games I created which my friends and I affectionately call Fragfest--Slayer Pro to 50 kills. Another favorite is Blood Gulch, Super Capture the Flag; another game of mine in which it's first to 5 flags, all vehicles, everybody's invisible, no radar or buddy markers. We've considered playing it to 50 flags...bwahahaha. :)

I tried to set up a super melee game with no weapons or radar, imagining how hilariously miserable it would be to play it to 50 kills on some massive level like Sidewinder. Think of it...it'd just be a big mosh pit in the middle of the level with everybody beating the crap out of each other.

Sounds good. Halo2 shall rise to power and slaughter all who oppose!

Hahaha! :sniper:

What do you think about the covenent (beam) sniper rifle and all the new weapons? looks pretty cool and all the different hogs! theres the gauss warthog the snow hog the transhog the comoflaugehog and probably more!

GTA, talk about over-rated.

How can you call a game about which almost nothing concrete is known (apart from the obvious. like crime. and more crime. then maybe a touch of crime. and guns.) overrated?

Marathon 2 was the far superior sequal

>_>

<_<

Durandal > you :p

Halo 2 will be the shiznit of all Xbox games (at least until the Xbox version of Half-life 2 comes out).

I must admit though, that some of my fervor for Halo 2 died out after playing Star Wars: Battlefront for 6 hours straight on two huge bottles of Pepsi and a large Pizza Hut pepperoni and sausage pizza.

Awsome game, it deserves better reviews then what it's gotten.

I have waited since august 18th last year in ernest for that game. my brother pre-ordered it in august, and then i was like 'whooo, its coming march! yay!' and then it was like no... may! and then it was no... august! no.... Now they have a final date! YES!!!

Although i must say, if it as hard as the new COD, i will go insane and i will get some sickness from playing too long. althought it only took about 5 hours to beat COD or less than that maybe, i died soooo many times, on easiest for christs sake! those portable mgs are fun too.

I'm waiting. I'm a Tom Clancy fan, myself. I'm also a cheapass, so I'm waiting for the price for a used game to drop to about thirty bucks (which will be in about 2020AD).


I cannot wait, although I'm not that great at Halo. Covanant sniper rifles scare me, but the new assault rifle looks awesome.

i could wait for halo 2. i'd rather get my hands on half-life 2, men of valour: vietnam, rome:total war, and grand theft auto: san andreas before i purchase halo 2.

does anyone know the release date for Rome:Total war, in europe?

Halo 2 out in spain on the 6 of november in case anyones needs to know! yeah!

It is Oct. 3 that means exactly 37 days until Halo 2!

o well i couldhave swore the video at eb said rocket launcher
but that was months ago :eek:

rocket or guass, its infinite

36 days

35 days.

total war's already out here in america, great game, i honestly have no idea when it releases in europe...but it should be soon. the guys who made it are based in Great Britain

I got Fable, good game but a little short. I was an elderly man (with GIGANTOR muscles) in 11 hours. And you can't be female, which is kind of sad. I wanted to be an evil sorceress, or some such thing.

But I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Super Power 2 yet! Come on, people... you play NationStates.

Some Press releases


"...huge, ambitious, and veritably choked with detail and complex interactions."

Seriously, go to http://www.golemlabs.com or http://www.superpower2game.com . This will be a classic.

Just a little snippet from a review of a guy from one of those websites like IGN, who got a late beta of the game...

He said he managed to get France a 70-nation coalition against it.

Edit: Forgot to mention that superpower2game.com has a demo of Super Power 2. 160+ MB, but hey, if you want to try it out first. You get 76 minutes or some such thing to complete their given scenario of rebuilding the USSR.

will there me a multi player campain mode like in 1

yeah but even better. rumors say that you can go on campain on live

i cant wait till Halo 2 comes out, what i dont get is why people like half-life so much... its a tad overrated.

maybe but i dont think so. it would get a tad cheap on the covenant side

33 days

would be nice to play as covenant though
picking off marines :sniper: and stuf like that

technically you can. you can have covenant-looking battle armor that affects the weapons you get. in humen, you get frags and rifles. in covenant you get plasma

Monday's Update: Halo 2 is Gold
[ Oct 11th 2:19PM EST by Jake 'Evergreen98' Billo ]

As announced by SketchFactor on Bungie.net, this Monday's special Halo 2 Update contains three important elements: one, that all versions of Halo 2 have "gone gold" or have been Released to Manufacturing (RTM). The second item is a selection of quotes from Bungie staffers; and the third, wicked item? A video was promised on Friday, and Bungie's delivering. Follow the link to read and obtain!

Due to the undoubtedly high load that Bungie's servers will experience, it's best that if you want the video, that you wait for the official announcement from HBO of the creation of mirrors for the two versions. In addition, HBO and Mythica will also be creating BitTorrent seeds, as well as alternate resolution QuickTime versions of the videos. (Right now they're only available in Windows Media format.)

Update: Brian of Mythica has posted a BitTorrent link for the high resolution file. You can grab the .torrent (http://files.mythica.org/torrents/weeklyupdate_hires.wmv.torrent) and get a copy faster that way -- I'll be contributing some seeding bandwidth to the cause myself.

27 days left...
- Bungie.net: Halo 2 is Gold

THeres not going to be as much comic relief. theyve really strenthend the ai in this game. so no more whaking grunts with rocket lauchers. if you let one live, they will find reinforcements and regroup. the marines are actually skilled now and arent just cannon fodder

ne 1 got live? ill play them when halo 2 comes out

I lost my Halo cd. I'll have to get halo 2 to replace it once it arrives to the pc.

Xboxes are what is overrated.

Anyone know if Halo 2 has a release date for PC yet? I'm not going to buy an Xbox console over one game, but I played the first on someone else's Xbox and it kicked @$$.

i might get live

27 DAYS!!!!!!!!!



:( :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :sniper:

HALO IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO XBOX AND NOW THERE IS ANOTHER YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone who disagrees shall die by my hand and slow roasted over a nice campfire. YAY FOR HALO 2

waiting wish i could find a copy even bootlegged would be nice

edit just joking

how r xboxs over rated? u dont have to upgrade em at all like comps, and even if u have the best comp in the world halo is still gonna lag. i really really think halo2 is going to be a good reason to buy an xbox. and if u r trying to get fable, dont buy it, just rent it. its a five hour long game, total waste of my time.

every1, whats ur fav. thing about halo 2?

Mine is xbox live and aerial vehicles in multiplayer

its more halo

but damnit! Halo2, Fable, and gran tourismo 4 are the 1st games on my list.

halo 2 and gran tourismo? u wierdo, ur the first person i have EVER seen who appreciates fps AND racing... lol

I've hosted several LAN games, but someone always gets prevented from coming so I've never had the opportunity to pwn 15 other people on Hang em High, Slayer Pro, or one of the games I created which my friends and I affectionately call Fragfest--Slayer Pro to 50 kills.

We've considered playing it to 50 flags...bwahahaha. :)

i too have hosted many a lan, and indeed, as strange as it sounds:
invisible + no shileds + no radar/indicators + ctf + pistols... ITS SOOO FUN!!!

well, whether you like it or not, i believe half life 2 will outmatch halo 2 in sales, and in high reviews. simply put, half life 2 was the most talked about game from E3 2003 in any website or magazine. that doesnt mean that it'll be so damn great. we all know all the big talk about how full spectrom warrior would be awesome and all that, but in the end, it was mediocre. i felt it was too rushed. maybe it'll be the same for halo 2 and HL 2?

halflife 2 is on pc, therefore, lots of people will just get illegal copies... (like me)

however halo 2 is on xbox, so not everyone has one...

both platforms have the "sales" downsides, but i rekon half life 2 is a "oooh look its pretty" game whereas halo 2 is just, just MASTERPIECE!!

What do you think about the covenent (beam) sniper rifle and all the new weapons? looks pretty cool and all the different hogs! theres the gauss warthog the snow hog the transhog the comoflaugehog and probably more!

multiplayer is gona be HECTIC... so many vehicals...

not to mention the sword

does anyone know if there are new powerups?

i rekon the human sniper should not leave a trail, but the covt sniper should leave an obvious trail but have a bigger clip... otherwise, how are they different? oh maybe covt sinper is good against elites? (human sniper in halo against gold elite = 5 shots, 2 of which were in the head)

will a regular computer router work for xbox

Anyone know if Halo 2 has a release date for PC yet? I'm not going to buy an Xbox console over one game, but I played the first on someone else's Xbox and it kicked @$$.

It doesn't have one. Nor will it, if Bungie gets it's way.



halo 2 and gran tourismo? u wierdo, ur the first person i have EVER seen who appreciates fps AND racing... lol

you obviously know little about what it takes to program something, let alone an entire game.

Other than that, if anyone downloads the leaked game, I WILL have to stab you. They worked damned hard on it only to have it stolen a month or so before the release date. They are calling out all battle stations to stop the leak, though...

and if you haven't heard aout the leak,here (http://www.bungie.net/News/Story.aspx?link=CABA3088-9E1B-49A3-A74D-77A67E324180) is the bungie newspot thingy. Whoever stole it, you make me sick.

yeah Halo2 is so kool that I am thinking of going out and buying a X-box just so I do not have to go to my friends house to play or wait a month or so to play it.
