No, hobo, the ATV was called the Mongoose.
But yeah, the Covenant PWN the Flood. But I do like the Flood for their 'melee your arse raw'ness on higher difficulties. |
yeah i kind of worked out that the ATV = teh mongooseness
Was anyone else disappointed with the soundtrack in halo 2. Other than the new rocked up theme tune. I mean. Having crappy 'rock' bands like that crappy one that sang 'the reason'. Forgotten their name. and incubus. Bring back the amazing orchestra from halo 1. Or put it some metal. |

I liked the soundtrack in Halo 2, except for the band music, it was a big no no.
Anyone else notice the Flood Juggernaught (sp?) looks like that thing Keyes was in at the end of Halo 1? |
Hmm, I, for one, like the band-music. Maybe because of the guitars in it...

Yay!
So whats this Drinol thing? |
:
|
ferill, the Drinol was a creature that was supposed to be in Halo, or Halo 2, that was mentioned in the Halo 2 Limited Edition Bonus Disc. They didn't say what game, unfortunately. The Drinol was a big monster, that the Covenant only used if the brute strength of the Hunters (Lekgolo) weren't sufficient. Sort of like the Behemoth beast in Sudeki, or the Trolls, in LotR.
Cyber Slig, check the previous page, the post about an unknown Flood Type, in Halo 2. |
|
I wish energy swords had ammo in multiplayer. They can be really annoying.
|
Holy crap!
Ferill where the hell'd you find that bad mofo!? Is it harmless? Can you kill it? |
I got it off Hobo. He said dont ask......Something about handjobs......
|
I see I'm not the only one...
Hey ferill, did you try the Scorpion Glitch? It's cool, check it out; Load Coagulation, and set the vehicle option to Random, you should have a Scorpion and a Wraith. Have one player in the Scorpion and another in the Wraith. Now it get's awesome. Have the player in the Wraith ram the Scorpion with the speed boost. It's better if you ram the Scorpion from the front or side. It may take a few attempts. If successful, the Scorpion should flip all over the map crazily, flipping and turning so fast and quick the Scorpion explodes killing the player inside, the Scorpion blasts all over the place and bounces of the walls and ground as if it were a bouncy ball. Did I discover this first. Yay. It works! You can do it on Co-Op too. |
That flood thing looks seriously awesome. Like Silent Hill monster design awesome.
Tell me where I can find it. No hand job cracks. Just tell me. |
It was hacked out of the game, sorry.

It's hilarious, though. And I liked the soundtrack for Halo 2 more than Halo CE. Except the main theme for this one sucks arse compared to the original one. But Halo 2 has that awesometastic song when you are the Arbiter and you are piloting the Rebel banshee. It sounds like YTSE Jam by Dream Theater, and it's metal man. But then there's songs like the one in 'Through the bush, off the rock, nothing but Jackal' (or whatever it's called) which sounds like crappy porn music. I hate that song! |
You mean Follow? By Incubus? It Rulez0rz!
|
i like the sountrack : Earth City:p
|
Does anyone know the name of the song that I mentioned earlier, the one in the banshee?
I'm not sure if it's on the soundtrack or not, as it's not anywhere around my town. |
Follow. I have soundtrack ^_^
|
Isnt it called 1st Movement Of The Odessy? By Incubus?
|
Yeah, that's what I said, no? Follow (1st movement of the Odyssey). That is the EXACT title of the song.
|
I loved the Halo soundtrack, but HALO 2's soundtrack was F#$%#$% awesome this time around. I loved Incubus' "Follow," and so much of the music. However I agree I wish they would have had a final level that had the actual main theme in it.
|
Halo 1 Soundtrack was awesome...
Halo 2 soundtrack was good.... but the ,music not done by Marty isn't all that good... (with the exception of Follow)... I hope Marty doesn't bring music in from other bands in Halo 3... |
Cheesy guitars over orchestrated music is lame. It was lame in the 90's and, by God, it's lame today.
I hate the electric guitar in Halo/Halo 2's music. Otherwise, the music in the games is pretty OK. |
I liked the Halo 2 theme, more rock that Halo. To me it's like it's saying "We're here and we're not budging" or something like that.
Edit: God! I must be really tired if I think music's talking to me. I'd better go to bed :lol:. |
The best two songs were in Halo 2, The last level where Arbiter grabs the Banshee to assist Johnson, and the Halo 2 theme, the choir. It was like the first, only the exception that a girl sang the last bit.

New interview:
It's with Pete Parsons, Studio Manager He answers questions about A.I., The Arbiter, Downloadable content, the ATV, and online Co-op! http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3137470&did=2 Note: THIS THREAD IS NEARING 1000 REPLIES EDIT: *laugh at Bungie glitch* http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStat...THEGREATSAURON |
Ah, thats a good reason for taking out the ATV I guess.
The downloadable content bit was cool. New guns! |
*SHOCK HORROR - Alcar's first post in this thread*
Normally I'd never venture into this thread, but I only just came across the book, the 'Art of Halo' today. I've seen three pictures of what the book looks like inside, but nothing else. I was wondering whether any of you have the book, and perhaps if any of you know where some pirate has uploaded scans? :p While I'm not into Halo all that much, I do appreciate good artistry, thus my interest in the book. Oh, and I do mean Halo 2 as well. Alcar... |
:
It has concepts of the aliens, enviroments, and weapons. it also has expansive descriptions- some of which contain information only found in the book. I can try to scan now... |
Pictures as follows:
1.) (top 2 pics) inside Covenant ships, (bottom pic) docked Covenant ship. 2.) Basis, Threshold's moon. It is covered with Halo's ruins, and more debris is constantly falling from the sky. 3.) Delta Halo. A beautiful scenic area, with tempels resting throughout the lake. 4.) A Forerunner Space Station. It is in orbit in Threshold's atmosphere. 5.) Outside view of the Library, which houses the Index, the key to activating Halo. |
Pictures as follows:
1.) Pictures of New Mombassa. A human city on Earth being ravaged by the Covenant. 2.) Pictures of the Silent Cartographer. An island with gigantic Forerunner structures built inside and beneath it. 3.) A swamp. Contains a structure that acts as a holding cell to the Flood. 4.) The multiplayer map, Waterworks, which is a piece of art in itself. EDIT: AMAZING HALO 2 FAN ART http://www.deviantart.com/view/13441384/ |
Thanks for the scans, sligster. Halo's art is wonderful. I wouldn't liken it to the originality of Oddworld, but I just love conceptual artwork for some reason :)
Alcar... |
Wow, thats great stuff. Any scans of The Gravemind available:p
I gotta get that with some xmas money:) |
:
|
Thanx! Thats very interesting stuff. Its teeth are made from the skulls of the dead..........So could it still be a Flood?
