They don't need to advertise halo 2. But it would be cool to see a halo 2 commercial.

can we get a link for the 'spot' shown on HBO?

You can see it here.

NOTE: It took me 3 hours to download from the actual site (using dsl connection). I dont know why it took so long. Maybe there were a lot of other people downloading it at the time. Anyway, it only took 10 minutes to download it from the mirrored copy so you might want to get it from there.

It would be cool if a few days before the release there could be a world wide 24 hour trial of Halo 2 multiplayer on one of the multiplayer maps. That definately get the word out that Halo 2 is gunna kick some ass on Xbox Live!

All the stuff you guys said and Tie ins too they said since halo was so big that other people want to be attached to the game kinda like they have car commercials with movie tie ins like that stupid one with the zombies driving those little cars to there jobs at Universal studios.

I'm feeling nit-picky.

Bungie will do nothing, because it is Microsoft that will do the advertising.

And I think you mean marketing as opposed to advertising, which is one form of marketing.

I see extensive commercials on TV, possibly in movie theaters, national brand promotional tie-ins, extensive POP in stores and national sweepstakes, contests and tournaments. In other words, the usual stuff for a huge title.

They don't really even need to advertise Halo 2. The fans have done most of the work already!

Ture. But advertising the game will attract new people that dont already know about Halo

Everybody knows about Halo. If you don't then you've been under a rock for a longass time.

i dont think they will even put up commercials. if they didnt for halo: CE, which they would need more for CE because it was a new game and halo 2 is so much more popular already. They will keep quiet like they always do.

I remember seeing Halo commercials when it first came out. At the end it showed the cheif on a bridge with a sniper rifle and said something like, "you are humanities last hope, Halo: Combat Evolved"

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

I think I remember from an interview this last e3 with Pete Parsons where he said that there will be Halo 2 TV commercials and a heavy marketing campaign prior to it's release.

This probably means they'll (microsoft fits the bill, Bungie makes the eye candy) rent a bi-plane to fly over every major beach in every major city with one of those message flags saying "Halo 2 will own you" and it'll have a huge picture of the masterchief with dual SMG's.
This will be followed up (probably) with huge firework displays set to Halo 2's soundtrack all around the world. Full page, color adds in every major newspaper. A spot on 60 minutes (well not exactly advertising but fits in the marketing campaign). And then most probably, Bungie will launch their H2 satelite that will orbit the earth for years, making visible to all on gods-green-earth the recently released H2 logo.

I will personally stand up and applaud any trailor that plays in the movie theatres. I will do this rather loudly and very animated while hollering "Bravo Bungie.... Bravo".

I like the Socom commercials they did for the first one. Like the one where those terrorists are in the forest around a campfire and one of them goes "Those Americans will never find us!" and suddenly all these laser beams pop out of the forest onto their heads and one of the terrorists goes "Oh sh**". Hahaha...I think that would fit perfectly for a Halo 2 commercial, just replace the terrorists with Covenant.

no comercials are necessary they have a reputation and every magizine that covers the topic remotely will have it on the cover word of mouth will be the main addvertisement

im thinkin we won't be seeing anything we haven't seen before in the ads. they'll probably not start advertising until they have already released the info they're planning to tell. i predict a lot of advertising though, and it'll be great.
