Halo 2 Direct-feed Multiplayer Video Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the things-to-watch dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Bungie made an appearance at last weekend's Major League Gaming competition in Seattle, and they brought along a beta copy of Halo 2 for the contestants to play with. Major League Gaming recorded the games and gave some of that of footage to halo.bungie.org, who have turned it into a 122MB, 18-minute-long Quicktime video which is being distributed via BitTorrent. This is the first non-shakycam video footage of Halo 2 multiplayer to be released, and man, does it look good!"

    Bungie should come up with a FPH (First Person Helper) game where you run around helping people in distress. It would be named "Horns"!

    Halo - worn by angels. Good.
    First Person shooter - killing people. Bad.

    So, to continue the contrast, a game about helping people (instead of shooting them) should be called "horns" (to associate with the devil).

    Was the joke lame? probably.
    Did they reach a bit far for the joke? definitely.
    Am I even more lame for getting it? absolutely.

    Hm, yes a direct feed of a beta build of a console game, on the high resolution of a computer monitor, in a 20 minute video. Thats a great observation. I'm sure you're one of those people who thought Doom 3 was going to suck because you played the leaked beta a few years ago.
