Games: The Official Halo 2 Topic [OT!]

Fair enough. I guess its not that long to wait anyways.

[Nevan]

Yep, only 22 days. Plus the new www.redvsblue.com has started up.

Man, that ep was hilarious.

Edit: Meanwhile, XBC is not. I cant find a single PAL game of the original Halo anymore, its ridiculous.

Yep, XBC does have some minor annoyances.

The thing is, these pirates feel justified playing Halo 2 since almost all of them have pre-ordered the title, they've handed over the money already. In this respect, its not so much stealing as temporarily borrowing, but its still immoral, and against Bungie's wishes. Not to mention, they're all missing out on the following benefits:

-Playing the game in English. Im sure the French version has the R trigger set to "Quit game" anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]
-Having access to downloadable content (a major asset)
-Playing online using the lag-reducing Xbox Live protocol against 16 other Xbox's, using headsets.
-The Making-of DVD, which will be thoroughly interesting for the Halo fanatics out there.

It is for these reasons why Microsoft announced this today, to which i congratulate them. And this is only in North America; combined global sales should easily permit Halo 2 an entry into the "Top 10 bestselling games".

That's insane, but great!

I wish I didn't have school in November.

No worries, you'll be in the same boat as all the other working american Halo 2 players. Meanwhile, some rich guy in Jamaica will be sitting tanned on a beautiful, sunny beach, sunglass on, cigar in mouth, with a cool breeze blowing past, as he plays Halo 2 with his 15 sex-slaves, who just so happen to now be pro's after playing it with him so much.

IRT Cata: Xbox - Halo = Failure

Very true.

ROFL! I think their weapon change button switches between weapon and white flag.

[Nevan]

And I shall still hump his corpse.

[Cataferal]

Hahahaha. Its by official confirmation from Microsoft, i give you the French Halo 2 control setup:

R Trigger - Quit game
L trigger - Wave white flag
Left analogue stick - Skip joyously in a direction
Right analogue stick - Doesnt function, they only need to look one way.
A button - Hop
B button - Slap
X button - Giggle
Y button - Giggle manically
White button - Wave
Black Button - Moon
Start button - Quit game
Back Button - Quit game

This control system has been revolutionised for the sequel after many complaints from French gamers regarding the original. Hopefully they can now play the game as they would in real life.

Note: To the French onlookers of this board, im very sorry if any offense was taken. I do realize that your version of Halo 2 will in fact also be omitting the "Slap" move, to be replaced by yet another "Quit game" button; i understand that these buttons are very important to you.
