Halo 2 is most anticipated game and it will live up to the first one's sales performances and more. Just the trailer (http://halo.bungie.net/site/halo/features/av.html) makes me want to run to the store for this game...

FALL?! WTF?! SINCE WHEN?!Oh this fuckin blows.

Biotches said Spring....oh well :(

Errr Hamma...it's a totally new graphics engine. If you have an IGN subscription, check out the comparison video they made of the two games...you'll be surprised how different they look.

Biotches said Spring....oh well :(

Spring was never confirmed, Microsoft and Bungie dont speculate about release dates you must have heard something in a Mag or on a Website that said how a retailer sets the expected ship date on their site. (Its always wrong)

Dont worry as long as the game is good dont worry, id give bungie 2005 if the game was pure kickass

Xbox's are 170, CNN is speculating that it MIGHT go down to $99 bucks at E3 2004, wait til E3 when the console prices go down like they do every year.

They said on the official site as well as HBO, that Halo 2 was expected in spring. My bad. But it is quite a big leap from spring to fall...true though, it's going to be amazing so I wouldn't care how long they postpone it.

That screenshot that Biohazard posted earlier, is taken exactly from the engine....well it explains more here (http://nikon.bungie.org/bungieupdates/013004.html). Cool.

Never liked HALO even though I beat the game and played the Multi-Player for about one month. I found pleasure when flying around and flying into my teammates to kill them. After that, I uninstalled it.

Halo 2 is such a beautiful looking game. If you haven't seen the trailer for it you really should track it down and check it out. You WILL be drooling by the end of it.

Live's voicechat is where the quality comes shining through.

No d00ds with bad microphones, no barely audible voices, garble, lag.. Just flawless voicechat.

Standardization has its rewards.

Arguably, Fable is the most anticipated game of the year. Any news on Fable?

Did someone say Fable? Where?!? Tell me or die!

eeerrrrrrrhhh..... project..... ego... errrhhhh...

You take that back. That's only an umcompleted level.

Anyway, old news, read it all this morning.

Oh yeah... anyone have a quick link where I can update Windows 98 to actually be able to watch all these nifty movies?

No, I'm not computer stupid, only lazy. And windows update is worthless, by the way. Stupid Bill... >.<

to me that looks like a rendering, not ingame screenshots

Thrik

2004-01-31, 09:06 AM

It looks ingame to me. I recall seeing the trailer for it a while back and the graphics were of a similar/better nature.

They've definitely put some high anti-aliasing on for their screenshots though.

Neon Apocalypse

2004-01-31, 09:52 AM

it definitley looks doctored to me

Angel_of_Death

2004-01-31, 10:56 AM

It's taken from the engine, only reason it looks better is because the resolution is sharper due to the way screens are dumped from the frame buffer.

Fable does look like a good game, but hell no it wasn't most anticipated, and hell no, it has nothing on this game.

Straight from the source. (http://nikon.bungie.org/bungieupdates/013004.html)

Halo 2 E3 Trailer (http://halo.bungie.org/misc/e32003trailermirrors.html)

Ahhh I was very bored, and I just saw this video for the bajillionth time. It's the E3 trailer of Halo 2, actual in-game footage. Those who haven't seen it, slap yourself, then DL it. It's a big one, and it's about 9 mins. If you weren't convinced before you saw this that Halo 2 would be one of the best games to come, you will be now.
