Heh... Try this:
Slayer All Camo All Rocket Launchers No motion No teams And try it on a map like Lockout. Killer game! |
New Jackals, what do you all think?
Me? I ****ing hate every single one of them. Most. Annoying. Enemy. Evar. |
ARG!
Sniper Jackals! ARG! |
I think they've improved over the original Halo. It takes skill now, not to get killed in Outskirts, or any level with Sniper Jackals, on Legendary.
|
I have borrowed it. Is fairly amusing. SMG's are fun, but i don't use them purely for the n00b status that goes with them.
T'is mildly fun. Story's lame and clichéd but what am i gonna do. new guns are fun. They screwed up all the vehicles minus the ghost though. Boo! |
I've got it, and it's ok. It's not the brilliant game that I thought it would be, but it's still ok.
Basically it's the same game as the last one, with a few interesting extra features thrown in, more guns, less old guns, lame banshees, less than half the warthogs they said they would put in, rideable wraith, the spectre, playable as covenant and human, multiplayer maps still as boringly repetative as the last ones, you can take over enemy vehicles, there are now melee specific weapons, you can take weapons from your troops, there's an improved ghost, a spectre, and overall improved graphics. You still can't fly the pelican though, and there is a ton of other stuff that you can't pilot. The gameplay is just as repetative as the last one in my opinion, and the replayability is pretty poor, especially in multiplayer. The game has a lot of potential which hasn't yet been exploited, although this may be because they're saving it up for a halo 3. I don't really like it any more than the old Halo, with the exception of the fact that Halo 2 having more goodies makes it more interesting and less "minimal" like Halo 1 was. :

Hey! I tried the sword glitch, tis good.
Is there a bonus ending for Legendary? I haven't done it yet, but. ...mwgha... |
Has anyone ever walked on top of the central structure (They're pouring out of the middle!) in Delta Halo? I did! It's fun! And you can get onto those big, fallen pillars as well!
Also, has anyone ever been on a hike in outer space on Cairo Station? I went from the back of the station (at the engines), to the other side, past the MAC gun. Oh, the Boarding Crafts aren't solid... I fell to my death (Hmm, in space?) occasionally, while trying to jump on one of them Boarding Crafts |
How do you get up there? I cant do it.
|
Which one?
Cairo Station Remember the part where you have to take a walk in space for the first time (after the small battle with Keyes and Sarge)? If you look out of the airlock, you'll see some sort of ledge. It's possible to do a crouch jump on it. Now, behind that one, is another ledge like that, which is ALSO crouch-jumpable (CJ). CJ on that one, and walk towards the left side of the station (while facing the MAC gun). You will eventually come to a wall, go right there, towards the gun, walking underneath some platform. Now, eventually, you will have the chance to go left again, towards some big gap. It looks like 2 slopes next to eachother, with another platform behind it. Go to the platform. Go to the back end of the station (away from the gun), and eventually, you can walk to the right side of the station, or walk onto another slope. That slope will lead you towards the frontside of the station. Do some exploring yourself, if you don't get it. As for Delta Halo: You will need at least 2 grenades. You know the little slopey thingies, protruding from the center structures? You can get up there with the help of the Tanks Turret. Just hop from one slope to the other, and when you get to the corner, do a 'nade/crouch jump. It's hard, but it is possible. I've found it easier to use a plasma grenade, cuz you can time your jump easier. Throw it RIGHT next to the wall. Now you're on top of the structure. If you look around, you will see some pillars, with TEENSY WEENSY ridges around them. They are walkable. Walkable? Yeah, walkable. This is what you do. Walk (or run) up to the side of the pillar, MC will start to "bounce". You can now (CAREFULLY!) walk around the pillar, with slow speed. Be careful when you're near the end. There will be another platform on the other side. And another pillar. Repeat the same process again. But now, you can just jump to the ridge on the other side. You'll see what I mean. Follow the small ridge up to a big wall. You can grenade jump that as well. But this time, you have to throw the plasma (although frag works as well) further away from the "wall". Do a running/grenade/crouch jump, and you'll be on top of the wall. Now you can walk up the the pillars, and CJ them. The platform directly ahead of you isn't reachable, unfortunately (or maybe it is with the Sputnik Skull, but I haven't got it yet, this is all doable without skulls), but on the other side of the pillars (the right side when you first jump onto the pillars), you can go various ways. It's not much, but you can see the beautiful 2D trees up there. Good Luck! By the way, has anyone ever gotten up onto the 2nd building, in Regret? Not the first one, with the Sword Elites, but the one right after that, before the Gondola Ride? I've tried it a couple of times, but I only have 1 Plasma Grenade, and I need at least 2. In the 2nd building, there's a caved in section. It is possible to jump out of that, and after that you can walk around on a ridge around the building. But there are a number of windows on that part, and I've managed to jump into the first level, but I haven't got further. |
I got Xbox Live + Communicator on Sunday :D :D It's just increased the quality of Halo 2 ten-fold :D
My tag is AsinineManiac - because my younger brother made it.... :( |
:
at least in Halo 1 on legendary, when you got killed, you now what you did wrong, and you try not to do it again when you respawn. But with Jackal snipers... it's just so cheap that you can't even stick your head around the corner without getting killed... :
Reptile: nope, no bonus. |
*carefully jots down tags for friends list*
I should make an Xbox Live tag topic or something... |
With my Halo 2 SE I got, there was a special booklet called Conversations Of The Universe, which was packed with info.
Inside was: -Guilty Sparks journal -A letter describing a forerunner facility -A communications transcript of two covenant ships going down(black box) -A strange Almost unreadable letter -The prophet of Mercys letter to Truth about the Flood -A conversation between Cortana and another AI about Spartans(before Halo) -A conversation between two Elites about Humans(mentions Sharkquoi) -Another conversation between two unidentified covenant about Jiralhanae and Sangheili(mentions Nipple) -A letter to John 117 I might post a couple soon |
Everyone got that with the Halo 2 LE.
I however, read my friends, as I was too lazy to preorder before a week before it came out, and only got the standard edition. |
117,
As you might imagine-though I know you won't- I've heard quite a bit of your recent adventures on the Halo. I'm glad you made it, I have to assume you always will. Recovery is going quite well and I am proceeding to fourth stage rehabilitation. It is significantly more painful than the previous stages, but I'm happy to be skinned once again. I hear that you will be testing the new Mark VI. I will definitly look for more reports on how it works out. The specs are obviously improved, but the choice to incorporate further covenant technology somehow makes my skin crawl. We miss you, John. I've asked sergeant Johnson to let me know if you're ever near the M25l Recovery Station and perhaps I'll be able to come see you. I'm hoping I'll have a chance soon. Today, humanity feels pale and thin with only ghosts to defend her heart. I feel much the same. I'll write again, -Cassandra Thats one. Anyway, I'll post more soon. |
Cool, i'd like to see the strange letter.
|
There was a transcript of it a while ago, on HBO. Try searching on: Letter from Truth to Regret about Mercy.
|
Gah, I cant change my spoiler settings on HBO. Its shite!
And now I leave you with a quote that i'm sure everyone will agree with.... http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/forum_m...=Wanker....... |
The letter was also put up (transcribed) on HC. I read it, but I don't remember it containing anything particularly interesting.
|
What do you think about Halo and Halo2
This is a general discussion to find out if peoples like halo or not.
So what do you think? ok to be more specific i want some peaples who dont like halo to tell why they dont like it. |
I've never met a person who didn't like Halo or didn't say it looked good.
This will be a very one-sided discussion. |
Why would you only talk to people who don't like halo? Is this some kind of halo-hating klub?
I myself have not played the games. But from the looks of it, it seems cool... |
Basically X-Box and PS2 try and out-do each other by releasing exclusives.
eg: San Andreas and MGS3 vs. Halo2 Halo is the X-Box's way of saying a big Fook you to the PS2. |
Please continue discussion in the "official" Halo thread.
*merges* |
I think it was a good game from what little I played of it but I have little patience for FPSs, particularly as they tend to give me motion sickness.
|
Actually, the other letter in the Conversation from the Universe thingy, the one that was not encrypted, was not from Mercy to Truth. Its from another Prophet called the "Prophet of Supposition," to Truth. Perhaps this is a character who could play a role in HALO 3? Or perhaps hes merely a minor prophet like the one in the book The Flood that was on board a covenant cruiser when Halo was discovered and when the Pillar of Autumn showed up too.
|
:
Here's the translation of the encrypted message: To thine own eyes, Prophet of Mercy Dearest Brother, I hope this finds you well. My sorrow and anger precede me with regard to the atrocity and heresy at Halo. We shall avenge this destruction with some of our own. Work proceeds apace on our battle plan. The Sangheili will do what is asked of them, and the Jiralhanae will show the humans what our strength looks like at close quarters. But this Message concerns neither the planning nor the discovery of the human homeworld. Rather, I question Brother Regret’s suitability for this great purpose. I am aware of his tenacity and ambition, but I believe his youth and feckless reaching may prove to be grave risks to the perfection of this undertaking. You have noted his rashness in the past, and yet neither of us has acted. I suggest that we continue as planned, but we would both do well to pay mind to Brother Regret, and provide wisdom and guidance as needed. This matter is too important to be left to inexperienced hands. Piety is no substitute for wisdom. Perhaps I worry too much. You know that I embrace caution, but we cannot have inexperience or arrogance at this great juncture. Be pure, be vigilant, and never rest. By my own hand Prophet of Truth |
Cool, thankyou for that.

Yeah, well, GTA 3/Vice City was already out for Xbox a month ago.
|
very interesting:
in coversations from the universe, there are two Elites talking to each other. At one point, one Elite says "soon we may be able to use the Sharquoi". wtf? What is a Sharquoi? New Halo 3 alien? Most likely.... It's not any other Covenant... Grunt = Unggoy Jackal = Kig'yar Hunter = Lekgolo Elite = Shangheili Brute = Jiralhanae Drone = Yanme'e and Prophets =.... Prophets... There has been some speculation that the Sharquoi could be a Drinol (a massive beast that the covenant keep chained up and use only when desperate ), but I dun think so.... the main point is, that this is a new alien that wasn't in Halo 2... we're already being fed clues... Here are some pics and videos of an unused character found in Halo 2's character files... it's Flood, and many believe that it's an infected Drinol. http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/...pl?read=500437 |
What are the names of those stupid-ass sacks of crap that the Covenant use as engineers/demolitionists? You know... the ones that got cut from the game... because they were stupid-ass sacks of crap.
It could be them. |
:
EDIT: I forgot to post the Infected Drinol pics... they're there now... |
That video is so cool. So...sligster, do you know where that video was found? Did Bungie release it, or was it an Easter Egg in the game?
-oddguy |
:
Wait, you did post this last year, right? I know that GTA3/Vice City is out on Xbox, but Rockstar can't start releasing them on both consoles at the same time until their contract with Sony expires. |
:
BOLL, the "Flash extraordinaire", posts on the H.B.O. forum, and he somewhat expertizes in finding hidden weapons and monsters in video game files. In Halo 1, he was the first person to ever find the Engineer, Flamethrower, and Gravity Gun hidden in the data files. Obviously in Halo 2, he's found that massive Flood thing, but I'm sure there will be more to come.... He basically found the file, and inserted the monster in the level that the file was found in. That's why there are so many of them. He doesn't use any illegal equipment, so Bungie can't go after him- they've actually come to a liking of him. |
Gave it back two days ago. Not realising i was on the last chapter of the last level. Buggery:( it was too bloody easy and boring. my rating = 6/10. I want my ATV!

That flood thing looks like yet anopther uninspired zombie character. The convenant clearly beat the crap out of the flood on the character design. |
