I've been waiting for SP footage actually. All the MP videos are from the same demo as e3, and I saw enough of that.

You can get the codecs right from the video download page. Look at the bottom you should see a small text with a link to the latest ffdshow package.
I really ought to make this more user friendly, but then I suck at web design.

Could shave 10 megs off that video at the beginning. :)

As for the footage: Pretty map, but enough already!

Also, some Halo 2 headset news!

"GameCom Halo 2 Edition’s performance combined with our kick ass sound design and new communications effects makes for an intense multiplayer gaming experience." said Pete Parsons, Studio Manager of Bungie Studios. "Comfortable and sleek, you almost immediately forget the GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset is there, as you sneak around behind an opponent and whisper something nasty in his ear before you run him through with an energy sword."

"In October 2004 it will be available worldwide through select retail outlets at an ESP of US$49.95. All products include a one-year warranty with Plantronics’ world-class service and support."


And what game might this be? =) Looks good.

Indeed! This will look gorgeous on my Widescreen TV! It's a shame Halo isn't supporting 16:9. It would give the game another dimension.
 
No, that looks better than Halo on PC. That's for sure. But yeah, those guys suck. The one guy has two SMGs, out, and is only firing one. He goes to reload the one...And still doesn't fire the other one. He never does. And when they start...They're trying to get into the Warthog, and they can't...They're jumping on it, clubbing it, throwing grenades at it...Have these guys even played Halo before?

haha, yeah I don't think they knew the controls in the beginning. The guy is trying to jump on the warthog and tosses a grenade.

That level looks nice.. it seemed like a one way CTF game. Elite's hold a base + flag, and MC's hafta come in and take the flag back.

the other video is almost unwatchable, but it is better then the video xboxyde had a few days ago... just be warned, you may want to make the video in black and white or you'll likley suffer an epileptic seizure...

Retards is putting it lightly, it says on the damn screen, just like Halo 1, "Press X to enter Warthog" or whatnot. Which is apparently too difficult for them, so they flail madly on the controller, nearly killing each other.

Whoa cool headset, is it gonna be worth that price though?

It's Plantronics, so I'm sure it's excellent quality, but there is no way in hell I'd pay that price for it.

"Germans don't speak English..."

"Press X (accomponied by a picture of the button) to enter passenger/gunner/driver seat of Warthog"

What the fuck do they interrpret X as doing then?

"Press X to not enter Warthog!"

I just wish we could get a decent sized multi video of people who seem like they have played a game before...

Hahaha, yeah, it's really obvious. But most of 'em prolly haven't played one and is just cought in the hype of 2. Besides, driving the warth hog wasn't the easiest thing to do in the first game, I remember it taking quite a while to figure it out (without the excessive oversteering of the back). :p

Yes, DRIVING it was a bit touchy, but he was trying to hop in the back and ended up dumping a grenade that bounced over the top and blew up on some guys trying to enter a Ghost.

The ghost was actually on the side I think, at any rate, it was a frag gren. I think and it blew up hurting people ;) Oh, and it was totally cool :)

I just think it's funny that they hit every button EXCEPT X upon arriving at the Warthog.

Warthogs fairly easy to drive on a base level, IMO, coping with the physics of sharp turns and jumps and whatnot is still fairly difficult for me after nearly three years however. I'd like to think I am a pretty good driver, but I still flip many a Warthog on occasion.

So can I laugh at you when you can not take my flag?

You can laugh after I utterly stomp your ass THEN take your flag, although I fail to see the humor from your point of view.

Well then I will just be laughing at you as I head shot shot while you are day dreaming.

Some bad news, I guess... :(

"Software giant Microsoft does not intend it according to current data on the Games Convention to convert the potential Egoshooterhit halo 2 of the Xbox on the PC. As reasons one called the not sufficient capacities with developer Bungie studios, over at all a conversion in addition wars. Also a passing on of the project to another developer team is rejected by Microsoft, and won't happen. Further reasons for the refusal of a conversion are probably "Exclusivie for the Xbox" and the relatively moderate paragraph numbers of the PC conversion of the predecessor."
