Shamelessly stolen from TeamXBox forums:

Can I get a WTF?

http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=312414

Someone lock this topic, please. The new stuff is a multiplayer guide they are publishing next month.

 

[Wario64]

:lol

 

[DSN2K]

new multiplayer content, nothing more.

 

[Do The Mario]

MEGATON!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Halo 2 vol. 2.

 

[GhaleonEB]

new multiplayer content, nothing more.

I kinda hope so, but that's a pretty piss-poor tease if so.

I recall the EGM review of Halo 2 including a mention of DLC, and it said "including one huge surprise".

 

[Defensor]

:lol

 

[lexi]

:lol

 

[Wario64]

I doubt they would give us more campaign levels, or even a new ending. I'm thinking online co-op mode

 

[Parallax Scroll]

All the ad hints at is "more." It could be more of just about anything.

More screenshots
More opinions
More copies of the game sold
More people logging onto Xbox Live

 

[duderon]

More Bungie neglecting their fanbase >:|

 

[Bishman]

A world exclusive of more media wouldn't make sense, unless they want to fuck their userbase

 

[FightyF]

Probably referring to the bonus MP level.

 

[impirius]

Halo 2: Chief Tales

 

[Deku Tree]

That ad is a tease, I am not going to believe they will add to the single player story.
That's for Halo 3.

 

[LukeSmith]

Online Co-op would be nice. This is how Bungie's Halo 2 FAQ puts it (emphasis added):

Q Does Halo 2 support Xbox Live or System Link cooperative play?

A Bungie never announced Xbox Live or System Link cooperative play. Although we realize these would be cool features, they were not in our plan for the game's release on November 9th.

I've always thought that was poor verbage to shoot down the possibility of online/system link co-op.

[Deku Tree]

That verbage makes me believe online co-op is a real possibility.

 

[LukeSmith]

Online Co-Op Campaign Downloadable Mission Finale with One playing as

Master Chief

and the other playing as

Arbiter

.

Mark it now: this is the prediction legends are made of /sarcasm.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

The way it's worded, it could mean "more Halo 2 screenshots, and a world exclusive first look at The Sims 3."

Hopefully it's not something lame like that, but it could be.

Shit that's a good one!

 

[LukeSmith]

Let's not forget the...

"Plus if all goes according to plan..." business.

I mean it could be "the plan" to sleep with Heidi Klum, but that doesn't mean it's ever going to happen. I hate it when GameMagazines do this shit. This is why people go to other forums to see scans-- to counteract this hype-driven marketing.

Haloton baby!!!!!11!!

sorry to inform you but people look at scans in forums because its free.

The "World Exclusive" part isn't even about Halo 2. See the "PLUS!"? As in, More Halo 2 stuff...oh and maybe a world exclusive next issue!

 

[keeblerdrow]

Halo RPG

 

[gofreak]

I think it means the magazine is going to do more content (features etc.) on it. Not that there will be more actual Halo2 content :lol

I remember the official Nintendo mag in the UK doing the same with Mario64..they must have run features and articles on it for about 6 months after its release..

 

[COCKLES]

Warthog Kart online mode.

 

[Gantz]

System link co-op? Sheaahh...right..

 

[SantaC]

master chief is throwing a party
master chief is in first person (on wait)
master chief is shooting a ball
master chief is riding a bike

...

 

[Folder]

Oh man.
Gamer crotch.
That's HOT!

Edit:

Just got to the bottom of this. Hahaha, quite funny.
There'll be some news up about it later.
*don't* hold your breath, unless it's to save up a massive laugh!
:lol

 

[Ghost]

Meh, i refuse to get excited for what is almost certainly just xboxworld writing more about Halo 2.

 

[Gchaime]

The first part is probably just refering to some strategy guide in the next issue, the world exclusive part is probably refering to an exclusive first look at some movielicensedgame that nobody wil care about.

 

[ManDudeChild]

This is just a case of misleading wording on the magazine's part. If you look at it closely, it isn't Halo 2 related at all.

 

[Cimarron]

If Bungie adds online co-op and/or sp content x-box live will have finally come of age. If you want the mainstream to take you seriously about having a hard drive and out of the box online capabilities you need to offer stuff like this on a MAJOR SYSTEM SELLER KILLER APP! to all the non-broadband having non Liver's... too bad. Y'all can wait for an OXM update disc.

 

[drohne]

i would love an expansion pack. not because i particularly want the story resolved. but because i want to play more halo.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if they release new campaign missions or a new ending THIS soon after the game just came out, MS/Bungie are a bunch of cockfucking losers.

Why? The fans demands it. It's just good to see they actually listen to us (if this is true).

because if they have it ready not even a month after the game is released, why not just stick it in the final game?

 

[BuddyC]

I'm so tired of all this.

 

[GG-Duo]

Wait, if you didn't think, then how can you think again?

Wouldn't it be "Think, for the first time!!!!"

 

[Chittagong]

Get ready forum dwellers, here’s the skinny. In the next Xbox World there will be, and get this, a multiplayer guide booklet to Halo 2. Oh yeah baby. And the first look that the magazine may or may not get is the new Medal of Honor title

You see the Plus? The exclusive is something else entirely. Count on it.

 

[Ramirez]

Give it up guys,Bungie isn't gonna add anymore single player missions,not everyone has Live and not everyone will buy a disc in OXM,it won't happen.

Prolly more multiplayer stuff...

 

[Vennt]

..."Sell your magazine collections! It is, as they say, all over."

:lol

You are definitely spending too much time at these forums.

Now I dare you to fit "lollerskates" into your next article, go on.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Updated the starter post.

I just would like to point out that i was right.

For the first time, and probably for the last right. But right nonetheless, atleast partially right.

 

[TeTr1C]

OMFGWTF?!!11!1! A new multiplayer guide. You've got to be fucking kidding me.
