Why Halo 2 Was Delayed - updated

[dan_tm]

So now we've got Halo in FPS, Halo in RTS and now Halo in MMORPG

[Mr Do 71]

Wow, a Halo MMORPG. A massive continuing battle against the Covenant, just imagine You'd never go to work, I know I wouldn't

[mr. fancypants]

F**K

is that a good or bad thing?

[Harlen Quinn]

is that a good or bad thing?

Well, I hear Edge swears by it.

[Beertiger]

Holy shit, finally i can appreciate the new Chief without having to look through crappy colours.

damn that screenshot is impressive.

he has a plasma pistol and a machine gun, ace.

[Mr Do 71]

is that a good or bad thing?

Good, all good

[pretentious_helvetica]

THANK YOU, GOD.

Ooops, I mean Bungie. Love the new look bungie.net too. Very swish. Can't stop listening to that Cortana out-take. Hemhem.

Ive just read the Halo 2 FAQ on Bungie's website and now I'm excited like a little girl waiting for a Justin Timberlake concert. This game is going to rock harder than a very hard rocking thing. I'm seriously considering importing a US Xbox just to be able to play it online as early as possible.

[Mogget]

It looks very nice......but I still want Half Life 2.

[Beertiger]

can't you want both? i do

[Smitty]

Exactly. What is up with this ''versus'' attitude peeps seem to have these days?

What the hell are those green glowing things flying past the chief? Needles?

The souls of the deceased.

You can just tell from that screenshot that the animation is pretty spectacular.

The chief on the left, has he got some weird type of gun in his hand? It's dark on my monitor so it's hard to see. Could be the battle rifle or the shotgun but it's kind of round...

Can I have your computer?

Also, why does the Chief have one huge hand?

[rafaqat]

Yeah mate, of course 

So at the end of that the only thing you have against me is that I HAD A WEBSITE! Holy fuck-a-duck! Lets GET everybody who has had a website and KILL THEM!

You crazy fucking bell end. I remember the faking your own disappearence too.

The XBox fanboy stuff came from you inserting a comment about how great your XBox was into ANY topic. The fact is I think you're actually fucked in the head for actually denying any of this occured even though there are multiple posters here confirming what happened.

I think it has something to do with me having a PC rather than an Xbox. Of course, I could buy an Xbox just so that I could play Halo 2.......but that would be stupid.

Some rather blurry scans from the latest issue of gameinformer

"just got mine in mail today!

10 page halo 2 multiplayer exclusive with plenty of new ss's, for those of you drooling over the lone one bungie jusr released (the one on bungie's site is not one of the 8 new ones in GI)

I haven't even read the article yet but so far from the pictures I can tell that

* the enviorments are AWESOME!

I'll post more about it once I read it.

SINGLE PLAYER

* Bungie confirmed the campaign will take place on both earth and a 2nd Halo Ring.

* Peaking and destructable envoirments are likely but not confirmed.

* Brute and Prophet confirmed, likely to be atleast one more covenant added.

MULTIPLAYER

* Online 5 week Alpha test has been completed. The test was available only to 1000 M$ employees.

* Elites WILL be playable in atleast 1 multiplayer mode

* New multi modes confirmed, (only one described)

Assault - offense carries bomb into defense's base to score a point, roles switch after a point is scored

* "ONLINE COOP LIKELY"

* Interactive envoirments

In alpha version objects could be moved by being shot or by pushing them, could be pushed off ledges.

Final version likely to contain quite a bit more interaction with envoirments.

* Ghost and Banshee will have a new addition - Holding the L trigger will cause engines to flare and cause you to move across the map at unheard of speeds

* New "energy elevator contraption" - stepping into the swirling energy beam lifts the player up like a strong air current. Players CAN fire will being elevated (unlike when using a ladder)

Of course, I could buy an Xbox just so that I could play Halo 2.......but that would be stupid.

Crazy stupid.

true, especially as Halo 2 is the only game on xbox (insert smilie here)

[pretentious_helvetica]

* "ONLINE COOP LIKELY"

"..."

Hooray!

[Scarbir]

Every sign signals the multiplayer of Halo 2 will be faster en more chaotic than the mp in its prequel. Faster vehicles, canon foreseen Warthogs, the abality to climb upon vehicles and take them over... why oh why?

[Hass]

Also, why does the Chief have one huge hand?

Perspective?

[pretentious_helvetica]

Someone must of scanned in those pages properly. I mean, what is it with blur-o-matic preview images/video? Grrr. Even though it makes said images appear all dream-like and misty.

[Number 28]

Is that a female master chief in the last pic? The pose/outfit looks slightly more feminine.

maybe he's gay?

[Jumble Jumble]

Could be, there were female Spartans.
