Majic 05-08-2004 11:32 AM

Ah, I read that article in OXM this morning. I just saw the magazine lying on the table i my house, wondered when my new issue came, and read it. Plenty of superb info on the Covenant Carbine, Brute, vehicles, etc... And I was going to scan in the images later tonight, but someone beat me to the punch:p Damn you all.

Fez 05-08-2004 11:36 AM

Not many people will know what i'm talking about but "Space Dementa" by Muse would be a good song to put in the game.

Majic 05-08-2004 12:42 PM

Does it have lyrics in it? If so, it should never, ever be put with the gameplay of Halo:p

Esus 05-08-2004 12:51 PM

Those scans are so very good. E3 is only a few days away.
Personally, I both love and hate E3. I love it because you get lots of information. I hate it because you get too much which takes a while to get through, and you never know where to go next... I'm going to be so confused upon it's aftermath.

Hobo 05-08-2004 09:53 PM

Hurrah for Covenant Carbine.

Xavier 05-08-2004 11:25 PM

ferill thank you so much for keeping us up to date!

Fez 05-09-2004 12:49 AM

No problem people.

Mojo 05-09-2004 10:30 AM

Seems like it was a Covie Sniper after all :D:D:D

Hobo 05-11-2004 06:05 AM

People. I am your god for finding this.

Worship can be delivered by PM, or via Henna's big cannon in her garden.

Haven't yet got round to watching them. *runs off*

This. video. is. so. awsome. Plasma Swords are usable! Cars blow up. Ghost have two explosions! Hijacking looks cool! Needlers look worth picking up! The Elite is called Wort! Hubcaps fall off! Warthogs have horns! Ghosts can boost! Lens Flare! Destructable scenery! Rocket Launcher can home in on targets! Two attacks with plasma sword! I think there's a close up of a minigun in the flyby! Interactive stuff in multiplayer such as gates and the like! The Plasma Sword seems to be somekind of hidden superweapon in each level.

Have some screen shots:

Now love me!


*Starts to drool when he sees the movies*

Whohoo! MP Elites! Poor Wort...
New colors!
New Warthog!
I wonder what those blue lines are... In the 3rd last pic...

Hobo 05-11-2004 08:03 AM

Bah damn your mirrors, with slightly bigger movies than mine, that download quicker.

*stabs AS*

SeaRex 05-11-2004 11:21 AM

Oh. My. God. *orgasm*

At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, Halo 2 is the best game ever. :D

Ok. Male Errection Aid!

Fez 05-12-2004 07:38 AM

Dirty Bastard ;)

Seen videos, I want this game so bad. IT WILL be game of the year.

Esus 05-12-2004 07:56 AM

Hell yes. How can it not be Game of the Year? I really can't wait for the next batch of E3 goodies.

Mojo 05-12-2004 08:06 AM

Personally, I really like the new Needler. Did you see the rate of fire on that thing? Whohoo! And then there is Hijackal- erm, hijacking! Whohoo times 2! I'm prolly gonna piss in my pants when I'm able to play it... Anyone pre-ordering the LE Halo 2? If my local gameshop joins the pre-order mania, I'm on it right away!

Hobo 05-12-2004 09:33 AM

Yes, needler looks like a contender for most stupidly powerful weapon. Like the pistol in Halo. Unless they don't fiddle with the damage on the needler. Then it'd be fine.

Al the Vykker 05-12-2004 12:06 PM

Without sounding too much like a fanboy either, Halo 2 will be the best game ever made...simply amazing and beautiful....people should cry its so beautiful. :p :fuzsmile:

oddguy 05-12-2004 05:17 PM

Just saw the videos. Oh my...that looks amazing. Can you play as any enemy you like? Or just the Jackal?

By the way, I'm just loving that new targeting system for the rocket launcher! :love:

A question though. Since you now can hold two guns at the same time and fire the left gun with the left trigger and the right with the right...which button is for grenades? It used to be left trigger, so what's going on? Maybe while holding onto two guns you can't throw a grenade, but you can throw a grenade while holding only one gun? Your thoughts...

-oddguy

Hobo 05-13-2004 05:51 AM

Oddguy. You can still throw grenades silly. But you do need a spare hand. Which you don't have when holding two guns.

Esus 05-13-2004 06:01 AM

I assume that you can go over grenades and press either X or Y to swap one of your guns for the four grenades, and then use them with either left or right trig, depending on the hand its in.
In that respect, I think they have the same properties as every other gun.

Hobo 05-13-2004 06:05 AM

What he said^

Fez 05-13-2004 06:19 AM

New Halo 2 screen:

and it seems i cant post it....weird. anyway its a red Spartan on a gun turrent.

Fez 05-14-2004 11:04 AM

HUGE WANKING UPDATE!

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/...pl?read=426274

oddguy 05-14-2004 12:28 PM

I can not wait to play this game. Throwing grenades into water...jumping into the gunner positin of an enemy driven warthog. Oy...the possibilities.

HUGE WANKING UPDATE!

Shall I even bother making a wise crack here or shall I let you make one up for yourselves?

Fez 05-16-2004 05:21 AM

Look, CJ. Get a life......

No. I'm happy being a loser.

Esus 05-16-2004 10:49 AM

thats a nice update. I want another one. In fact, I want another video.

sligster 05-17-2004 04:28 PM

two new screenshots:

I can't get them in for some reason...

you can find them here:

Screenshots :)

the bottom two..

theres an elite being blown up in multiplayer, and a nice shot of dual needlers.

Notice in the needler shot, theres "no smoking" and a "no animals" sighns on the walls. You can also see that the flag in CTF has been givin a nice makeover.

oddguy 05-17-2004 04:37 PM

Very nice screens. I think you can also customize your own flag emblem...I think.

-oddguy

Xavier 05-18-2004 03:06 AM

nice one sligster!
those screens are realy sweet
