Halo 2 Real-Time Trailer Spreads Round Net
Ever since the Microsoft press conference at the outset of E3, various audience-filmed videos of the Halo 2 demo showcased there have been circulating, but we've been waiting for more stable mirrors before posting. So, you can find the full trailer at IGN.com if you're a subscriber, and they have freely downloadable smaller excerpts. Thanks also to Tim Grube for pointing out this 85mb MPG Halo 2 for Xbox
trailer, courtesy Gaming Horizon. Finally, and most usefully, there's now a 39mb WMV BitTorrent of the trailer up at Gametab News.
This site has some mirrors not mentioned above. There are several different versions - but they're all just people in the crowd recording the same Halo 2 video.
If that ain't the sweetest darn thing I ever have seen! It was very impressive, to me, especially the graphics, although on the copy I saw it was rather hard to tell the difference between in-game and FMV. Maybe that just shows how good it is.
They have whole scenes where you are the gunner on the back of a vehicle, speeding through the streets shooting at Covenant tanks and running over aliens.
There is this bit where Master Chief leaps on the front of a Covenant Ghost and pulls the driver off the back. It was like watching a movie. If the game plays like it looks like it does, then it will be amazing.
And it has lots of plasma explosions, and those look cool. So it can't fail.
Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
according to most of the gaming sites halo for the pc is supposed to come out 9/14/03. link
