Just found that on bbc.

Just why did you post something about Halo 2? And I know, the obvious answer is; "Because I didn't read the thing completely, completely overlooked the date it was posted, October 2004, in the hurry of posting something that made me excited."

Hell, I know it from myself that one can get to eager. (Which is why I posted something about Red Steel in MArio's Warp Room a whole day after a thread was made about it. I'm still crying about that...)

Wow, though that trailer showed so preciously little, I'm totally hyped already. Okay, mayby not totally, but that was pretty sweet anyhow. If Master Chief looks like that in the final version, the gameplay's good and the story continues being solid, I have every faith in this game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, but somehow the games have completely ignored that piece of information....
However, the Cassandra letter in the Collectors edition of Halo 2 is the closest thing the games have ever been other Spartans. I'd really love even the slightest mention of Fred and such in Halo 3. (They still have to explain just what happened to Kelly and Dr. Halsey. And what Ackerson was up to with his coordinates and the CPMDZ note....)

How ya doing, buddy?

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 well and I am proceeding on to fourth stage rehabilitation. It is significantly more painful than previous stages, but I'm happy to be skinned once again.

I hear that you will be testing the new Mark VI. I will definitely look for the 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 Sargeant 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 the 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

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sex ninja, have you tried Amazon.co.uk? According to your flag, that'd be your best bet getting them. Not that expensive either.

Anyway, I've thought about something. Everytime the earth has been described in that trailer, it's called "war torn and ravaged". That's not how the Covenant normally would fight, is it? They could just do what they did to Reach: Glass it and only spare the area they need to examine.
My conclussion? Look at the background in the trailer. Doesn't that look like the New Bombasian bridge? I think Chief's back in Africa, and while the future of the Earth definatly doesn't look bright, we're not that doomed...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I think it was Frankie who said that Marty actually would like to release a MP3, but there is some problems. I got the impression that it was purely technical problems... Anyway, I really liked that theme. No wonder eally, I've always loved that Gregorian-esque theme. So dreamy :dopey_love:

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually, I think that was some sort of April's Fools joke. The Forerunner project should be some sort of shooter with huge sprawling levels, running on a souped up Halo 2 engine.

How ya doing, buddy?

You could try getting your hands on a CE of Halo 2. On the bonus DVD you can find a great documentary about Halo 2, and hwo they struggled wih the demo, time and such...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You can also hear Gravemind echoing Cortana, which I find way more interesting. That's just me, mind.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh nonono, I wasn't talking about sexual noises at all. He just echoes something Cortana says. Not what she moans.

Though the thought of hundred tonnes of brown protoplasmic flesh moaning is kinda hot ._.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'd be surprised of X06 doesn't give us a new trailer. (Though I expect that we'll receive more than a trailer. Multiplayer info and perhaps even some behind closed doors hands on.)

Double Post:
Okay, instead we got some new Halo game from Peter Jackson and a RTS game called Halo Wars. Better than nothing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, no new info there
As far as I can see, Thomas Wiborgh (Swedish dude I played with at the Halo gig) even coughed on some of the information...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

When I talked to Jaime Greissmer (or whatever the producer is called) he said that Brutes are absolutely a nono, seeing as they are too big to make the game balanced. Than God, says I..

Most amazing jew boots

This fall damage thing. I've no opinion pro or contra, but I like why it was implemented. That's class.

'Sup to Megalith, who's returned for a ever so slightly amount of time.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The first, thrid and fourth seems to be from... the beach level. Dang it, but I've forgotten what it's called. Has a pipe running from the outside of the fortress almost directly to the flag.
Second is from Snowbound. Hmm, I wonder if they get to see more than I got to see...?

Most amazing jew boots

Arms Race was ridiculously cool. I almost popped a boner when the Pelican wirred into sight.
The real trailer... I liked it. The prospect of a Scarab fight is interesting. It's a proper bossfight, not just a Brute with some magical energy shield.
But the new Cortana? Hmmm...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Idon't know whether or not you're right, Megalith, but the Forerunner installation from the trailer didn't exactly look like a ringworld.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, I also thought it was gay. Better than Tartarus boss battle, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How did you receive the Neill Blomkamp video? Can't remember, but there's a new one out thar. Complete with shaky cam and stuff, apparently straight from Leipzig or something: http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_4291_en.html
With CGI brutes, Banshees, Pelicans and Spiker rounds. Imagine that!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They (whoever that is) say that a HD version will be up on Xbox Live tuesday, which I gather is today.
Also, I found this which has the correct colors: Official version of second Halo short released - Joystiq

There's also some pictures from the set:








I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I can't se why they would in the first place. Their urge to reproduce was shot to shit during their augmentation. Unless it's a clever experiment by ONI. Is a Spartan capable of reproducing and what is the effect on the offspring. Tiny Spartans? I'd like to see that!

How ya doing, buddy?

I hate seeing this thread bumped down by fricking Super Smash Brothers, so I dug up* these hilarious korean promotion videos. They got the idea that if you freak out innocent bypassers, they're sure to buy Halo 3!

The second one has Master Chief fucking PUNCHING a dinosaur in the bloody face!

Spoiler:

Found 'em on HBO. Dug them up just sounds like I made more of an effort >'.'>

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hmm, dunno. What I do know, however, is that I'm going to participate in a review event this thursday. This should hopefully answer all questions. For me, at any rate...

FELIPE NO

They deviated from the novels? How?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Will do. However, I'm still under a NDA, so I can't discuss the plot in any way. I just wanted to hear how the plot deviates from the books, seeing as the books hasn't described what happens with Chief after Halo 2. Perhaps Sexninja talks about Ghosts of Onyx?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
