Yep - I can't wait for Halo 2 and the OST. BTW, here are the direct links for those two songs:Trevelyon said:

Can someone post direct download links for all the sound clips? The flash is just not working right.
Congratulations to MS and Bungie! I thought that they were going to have a black screen with only sound, or maybe try and install a Smell-O-Vision rig in people's homes.GhaleonEB said:

"When you're a receiver, what you wanna do is outrun the guy covering you and catch the ball. If you can do that, you'll score some points sooner or later."
"For a guy on defense, the best thing you can do is turn the ball over, and he really did it on that play."
"If you're running the ball, it really helps when you've got blockers."

Man, that looks fooking awesome.
I saw the p1rat3d french version of Halo 2 at some guys house, it is really something special. Well done, Bungie.
I do not understand french, only voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir.
So I am holding out for the real thing, who wants to hear Master Chief in french anyway?

No, I went in a monk-like state of Halo2 self denial a couple of months ago. I embargoed anything to do with the game for fear of spoilage. This commercial is the most footage I've seen since the city gameplay video. I know there's no real spoilers, I was just too weak not see anything else before release.

I've said it before, but Peril sounds a lot like Caribbean Blue from Enya to me.

Not that the game really needs it, but that's a very cool commercial.
Here's a commercial review from someone who's never played Halo and hasn't seen much Halo 2 stuff. I always like gauging the effectiveness of commercials, so don't take my criticisms personally.
Having found the thirty second commercial completely uninteresting (and in fact confusing), this one is definitely better. It's more coherent and intriguing. But making it like a movie trailer only brings out the cheese in the art. If this were a movie, it would be the cheesiest of American science fiction flicks, far cheesier than any I can think of. That's how lots of American FPS's are, though. It's more acceptable to the gaming crowd, but that doesn't make the commercial very effective to a layman. As a casual to the Halo phenomenon, it just looks like a goofy alien game with lots of movie-like action.
All that said, there seems to be enough pre-sales and word-of-mouth that they didn't need the commercial to do a really good job at hyping the game. And admittedly, a lot of the mainstream eats up rather cheesy movies and games. Also, I'm personally not very picky about cheesineess in games like Halo, and I think I'd like the series. I just don't want an X-Box for it (and my PC is far too ancient to run the first game).

Holy fucking shit Incubus sucks. Looks like there's another one of their songs up as well called 2nd Movement of the Odyssey.
Someone just pissed in my ear hole.

Go to this page and select one of the mirrors that work.
The commerical is similar to the American one, showing lots of in-game footage, but it's on a much lighter note.

Okay AD. More excited seeing the 30second one - this one didn't add anything new
Q: In the print ads; MC is standing in front of the HONGKONGSHANGHAI bank by Norman Foster in HongKong - does the conflict take place in regions other than continental US and did Bungie model these cities? That would be awesome and anticipation +1
and this has to be said; everytime I see the prophet speak scene; I see his mouth and think of a puckering vagina.

I believe it's a mixture of game music and music inspired by the game.

Halo has great gameplay values, but Production values are through the roof.
