The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

They post it at other Fan Sites to promote those sites. That is also why you are not allowed to cut and paste the update here. It makes you go to their site and check it out.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi

The geometry and environments guys have been pretty much left to their own devices for a long time, but now they'll have a lot more to-ing and fro-ing with the designers as they tweak bits of environment to suit gameplay requirements. Dave says that while it may seem like they're cutting it close; this is a lot further ahead than it was on the first game, by comparison [color=white]and with a whole heck of a lot more environments![/color]


Does anyone else think this means a MUCH bigger campaign mode?

The bigger campaign levels were already confirmed a long time ago. I think it was in the June OXM article, but I could be wrong.

343 Guilty Spark is familiar with the human protocols.


No he's not, seeing as he was surprised to learn of human history when he visits the Pillar of Autumn, which happens AFTER his commentary on the quality of your armor.

I doubt there'll be a Halo 3. There's been at least 8 years of development on Halo related games, I would guess Bungie's ready to move on.


Shiska posted this already. I think that nullifies your statement.

to be honest, if they made a halo 3, it probably not be nearly as good, because they put all of they're minds and imagination into halo 2...halo 3 would pry be cheap, and a dissapointment, at least i think it would after all that time

Yeah, I mean if Halo 2 is going to be so great they couldn't possiblly follow that up right?

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

What??!! No Halo 3? oh...wait a second.... there's not even a Halo 2 yet.

Well I wouldn't count one way or the other just yet on there being a continuation of the Halo series after this one. We'll have to see how the story leaves us (if it's still open i.e.The Covenant War isn't resolved). Bungie wasn't planning on Halo 2 till after they saw how well Halo 1 did. Everyone in the game industry (and movie too) starts thinking sequel after a game makes a couple hundred million dollars. How much revenue do you think Halo 2 will generate? If there eventually is a Halo 3 it probably wont come out for another 5 or 6 six years like this one did, and if and when it does release it'll be the same game we all love but with all the minor improvements that Halo 2could've used, plus some huge additions (especially seeing as it would be released on the next Xbox system).

Bungie has been working for a long time on Halo stuff so even if there's no more Halo I bet bungie will come out with another sci-fi game that will knock our socks off with it's immersive story and stellar gameplay.

can you say pistol?
its new, weaker, since people complain about the original being to powerful

If any of you are true dedicated fans you would have read ALL 3 HALO BOOKS, which explain before during and after halo and just before halo2. in the book first strike (which is the one before halo2) it tells when Master chief and SENSORED SENSORED SENSORED SENSORED get the new battle rifle armor and it also mentions a new pistol. although from our jumping to conclusions it is different from the book from what we are guessing. In the bookit is more accurate and more powerful because it is a magnum pistol and shoots bigger bullets. But of course all of you are true dedicated fans and have read the book and know this and who is censored.

sry buddy...thats wrong to assume
look i hate the pistol too, just because it was the only effective weapon and it made halo so boring because every other weapon wasnt nearly as effective as the pistol

i want it weaker because then i can actually use more than just one weapon all the time
