lots of shitty pics in there, but hopefully there is some decent shit to show off (havent gone throuhg many yet myself)

 

[BuddyC]

Haha, it's 'Classified' instead of 'Saved Movies' - guess we still aren't supposed to know

 

[Ghost]

Now these are blurry.

 

[op_ivy]

classified eh? replays bitch!

 

[Redbeard]

A couple decent shots:

 

[op_ivy]

is it just me, or are these of another time of day?

 

[FnordChan]

On a completely unrelated note, the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was this:

That said, Halo 2 is looking pretty damn good.

If my memory of the layout from the e3 demo is serving me correctly, the shadows are facing in the same direction, so thats unlikely. It's more probably that they just came out looking a bit different.

yeah, just an artifcat of shitty pics combined with the lighting from the fired rocket (at least in pic one)

 

[GhaleonEB]

I was really hoping for more than just Zanzibar, and it's the E3 build, to boot.

Hopefully the next wave of playable (such as PAX) will be more interesting, since they are post-August 24th.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

How much is the SP going to be an improvment on this?

 

[Sai]

* Sai snores...

I'm not one to complain about new HALO 2 media, everybody who's familiar with me should know this. But I'm tired of Zanzibar now.

How much is the SP going to be an improvment on this?

A great deal. Smarter AI, bigger focus on vehicles, more enemies, single player maps will be 5 times the size of Assault on the Control Room, no repetitive enviroments/combat situations...

Sounds more like a Wishlist than an actual Features List to me.

We need a TrollEyes emoticon...

As for the pics. Bleh.

 

[Sai]

That's all been confirmed by Bungie...

 

[Littleberu]

That's all been confirmed by Bungie...

Ah in those "Weekly update"? Hehe.

Well I hope for you that Halo 2 is gonna be as awesome as you think It will.

I don't know if anyone ever told you this, but you don't even make sense in your trolling.

Oh, maybe because I'm not trolling? Oh oh.

 

[6.8]

Well, that part of my post is subjective. Oh oh

 

[siamesedreamer]

That map has never excited me. It seems too small/stuffy. That leads to way too much chaos and zero team strategy. Maybe I'm wrong though.

No doubt they're really trying to pimp it like Blood Gulch though - a map I really never cared for and one that fails in comparison to the mighty Sidewinder map.

 

[PhatSaqs]

I don't know if anyone ever told you this, but you don't even make sense in your trolling.

Dont worry. He's just upset that Killzone, so far, has turned out to be a POS

 

[Kon Tiki]

And pics of the PC version?

 

[Littleberu]

Humm... I don't even plan on buying Killzone, and I didn't ever plan to do so. Where did you got this from? Killzone looks like shit btw.

It's kind of hard to have a neutral opinion on Halo 2 on this board. Do I really need to hate the game, or to love another game that WILL compete with Halo 2 this winter? I can't just post a comment, good or bad, about the game?

Halo 2 multiplayer looks awesome. Can't say the same thing about the single player, because it's all "word in the air" written by this guy from the Weekly Update. That's it. There's no "Killzone" or "Metroid Prime 2" involved in this.

 

[Sai]

Ah in those "Weekly update"? Hehe.

No, various magazine articles that have been released over the past few months since around E3.

Well I hope for you that Halo 2 is gonna be as awesome as you think It will.

At this point, there's no reason to believe it won't be.

And pics of the PC version?

Q What systems will Halo 2 be available for?

A Halo 2 is being made for the Xbox only at this time.

 

[Shogmaster]

And pics of the PC version?

This isn't 2007 yet.

I don't get why one would post many times about his so called neutrality in a thread. If I'm neutral about a game, people usually stfu. Which leads us back to Littleberu not making much sense. omg teh vicious circle!

I don't hate Halo 2, and I don't plan on buying it. So that make me Neutral. IMO. I didn't post my last comment to prove that Killzone will be better than Halo 2, or that Metroid Prime 2 will be. I just posted it because that's what I think about the present situation. That's it.

 

[PhatSaqs]

I don't hate Halo 2, and I don't plan on buying it.

And you've stated that you dont "need" Halo 2 or want an Xbox. So this is what makes your "neutral" comments look like trolling. Why do you care about the features list again?

 

[Littleberu]

Because I like games in general, and I know Halo 2 is anticipated a whole damn lot, maybe? I like to keep myself updated, and to have my own opinion on different games. I'll believe that Halo 2 single player will be what's written "behind the box" when I'll see it. That doesn't mean I want the game to fail, because that would be trolling.

You come into every damn Halo thread. Such as the "What are you 3 favorite Halo maps". Which you came in long enough to proclaim something like..

"OMG, this game is so over-rated!"

That's great. You have the right to your opinion, but it's not necessary to come into every Halo (based) thread.

Also, speaking of the PC version, I bought it last week thinking it would be fun to play through SP in higher res, etc. WTF, I can't get the graphics to not suck. Vsync smoothed it out, but the resolution always seems awful to me. No matter what I set it too, and the typing for things (such as you just picked up a Plasma Grenade) is GARGANTUAN on my screen.

No I didn't. Halo 1 is a great game. Ok. So now I hate Halo 1 too? Great. I don't believe in the single player hype of Halo 2, so I MUST hate Halo 1? That's what you're saying?

Sai said something that made me react. I reacted and posted my opinion about all these "features". THAT'S IT. I can't believe I need to justify myself. I would've posted the same exact thing in a Jak 3 thread and everybody would be like : "IAWP, INDEED, You're so right man!!" ,etc... But no, this is FUCKING HALO 2. People are so on the defense when it comes to Halo 2.

Shame.

Maybe they will ship Halo 2 and Halo3 in a bundle.

Oops, sorry it was Doom_Bringer. My apologies.

Not until 2010.

Free copy of Halo 2 with download of Longhorn SP5!

I was actually wondering about the graphical side, I dont keep up to date with Halo 2 and i'm wondering what its single player aspect will look like on release

 

[Sai]

Oh...

Think of the X02 trailer without the Master Chief's reflective visor.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

And a different method of drawing shadows.

 

[DSN2K]

dont look that much better then Halo to be honest.

 

[Sai]

I see a very nice improvement. And this is just multiplayer.

 

[Saturnman]

There's a significant difference in graphics between Campaign and Multiplayer mode in Halo 2. That much is evident in all the media released thus far: Stronger lighting and real shadows (on characters) in Campaign mode that are completely missing from MP mode.

I didn't say you did. That's PhatSquat, not me. See, you're not making any sense.

5 days till August 24th! ;D

Where can I find pics of campaign mode? I need to see them. Thanks.

It seems that way...


until you put the two next to each other.

Halo 1 looks extremely cartoony in comparison.

I'm not sure that the shadows are missing in mp. I think they're just very subtle. I know the shadows are on the vehicles, you can see it in those shots. I'm fairly sure I've seen self shadowing in other multiplayer shots on the charachters as well.
