O' my god you idoits. you have to read the book The First Strike , plus the armor isn't new, Bungie just added more detail. And I know that isn't long enough to be a whole level. Picture the Assault On The Controol Room level, the smallest level in Halo 2 is like x4 that big.

OK I've found my happy place again, in the center of my mind, sorry just... well... don't question the teacher. [color=yellow] THE REAL HALO 2 COUNTDOWN! [/color]



The armor is new. In Halo 1 it was mark V. In H2 it is mark VI.

No, the armor is the same. Read the First Strike novel, ok? Then you will figure it out. Just buy it at the bungie store. Got it? This discussion is Fineto [spanish for over]!

THAT IS NOT THE FIRST LEVEL!!!!

The first level is obviously going to be on one of the covie ships because of the Halo 2 beginning movie thingy where MC jumps of a human ship onto a covie ship. I might be wrong but odds are i'm not.

Man you guys are -blam!-. Does this arguement really accomplish anything besides boosting some of your weird egos. Anyways, the thread wasn't about whether or not it was the first level, but rather if you thought the level was cool. I'm going to take the initiative and say yes, that level looked rad. Especially all the medics and gore.

The level looked -blam!- awesome. even more awesome then years before when bungie showed us SilentCartographer at an E3. and i thought that was the coolest thing ever.

and Bungie said its not the first level, more like the 4th- ala SC again. and all teh cutscenes? probably not in the final game, or not in that form. i bet the opening scene will be in it, but thats it. bungie even said that the closing cutscene was just a buch of scrap they threw in...and not for us to expect it in the final version.

Well Sumonner I know that it was, he didn,t fall on to one of my ships, my ship just kept going forward and he fell behind us. The reason he wasn't fried was because we were powering down our engins to slow for a decent to Earth.[color=red] DO NOT QUESTION ME![/color]

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

Okay lets clear the air here and stop those silly spamming arguments.

First off it was said in a Bungie weekly update a few moinths ago that the first level was going to be something very familiar to us all (meaning, I take it, that it'll be somewhat like a level from Halo CE).

Now the E3 demo from 2003 showed the level "New Mombasa"... something very unfamiliar.

(SPOILER) The book and storyline goes that the Chief and the crew of survivors (Srgt Johnson included) boarded a Covie ship just after Halo's destruction and eventually salvage a human ship from the wreckage around the "half-glassed" planet Reach. They eventually head to a Covie space-station with the two ships and destroy the station and the captured Covie ship in the process.

Now in the cinematic sequence where the chief "jumps" out into space and is "falling" towards a Covie cruiser is definitely above Earth and he's definitely leaping from a human vessel. Whether this is the same vessel from the end of First Strike or not is unknown however they were on their way to Earth with it at the end of the book.

I also think it was said somewhere in an interview or an update that the story of Halo 2 will incorporate some storyline from FS (i hope half the game isn't retelling the FS events!) but i think the first TWO levels will be (my own opinion here) capturing the Covie cruiser just after Halo blew up and then the destruction of the Covie space-station. Then it would seem the next level would be Earth (or in Earth orbit as that cinamatic would suggest...i.e. boarding another Covie cruiser). I don't know if the whole scene where the chief and Srgt johnson are decending to earth/new mombasa in a pelican will be in Halo 2 some of these things are subject to change (tho i doubt they do cinematics just as place holders and teasers). New Mombasa is a level but whether it's third or fourth or fith is anybody's guess I just know from the updates that it's not first.

Did anyone else seem to think that that wasn't the demo from 2K3E3 ?? I think it was a different run through because I thought that I noticed several differences in the way it was played, and I should be able to tell since I watched the 2K3E3 demo about 30 times...

Actually, I've got a different view than everyone here.
The level in the E3 2003 demo will not be the first one. If it is included at all in Halo 2, I think it's going to be a few levels in, if not half way through.

Back on topic though. Yes, I thought the level from the Halo 2 Demo looks excellent and I hope it stays as part of the completed game.

I read in an update a long time ago that they were making a multiplayer-map in the Earth-city theme, so is stands to reason it will be included. I hope so at least.

Ok, I did not intend for this to wind up as a cat fight. I only wanted to show Halo 2 fans a clip I found, and I know that it had some parts that looked like some thing, some of you may have found in a X-box Magazine. And that some of you may think it is not the first level, or that the armor isn't the same and you are all intitled to your own oppinion at this time. But if this realy even shows up in Halo 2 will be found out when it is Nov. 9th, if Halo 2 is not delayed again. So just do the pole, leave a little message and hope for Halo to to have this in it or not, your choise. That is all.

it IS a new armor, the MARK VI MJONIR battle armor. and yes, i've read First Strike, but FS isn't halo 2. The e3 2003 demo was just part of a bigger level. And it's very unlikely that that's the first level.

Ok I've calmed down, please people, just do as my buddy Jose told you and stop fighting. I hav my oppinion, and you have yours. I will not fight, yell, scream, or rip my own head off any more because of what others say to me or my bud. I will let all of you fight among your selves. So please just stop fighting with me. I do not care of what you guys think, I will believe what I want to believe, so you can believe what you want to believe. Just no more fights.

What I don't get is that in the trailer MC's floating towrds a Cvenant battle ship and then the first level in the docu is on earth. There's a whole gap between that time.

Well, back to the topic, the movie is sweet. Even thought most of us have seen it, some haven't seen it, so don't be mad at the guy for posting it. Although, it isn't necessarily the first level. Nobody outside of Bungie knows what the first level is, it could and it could not be the first level. The books arn't the same as the game, the game might not cover the time when Master Chief takes over the Covenant ship and makes the journey home (yes I know he doesn't go directly to earth). So we'll just have to wait till some information is released or wait till the game comes out to know what the first level is going to be.
