Subject: Does It Annoy Anyone That Bungie Lied About The Invasion?

I was watching some old videos like this one and this one.

Does it annoy anyone that they hyped this game up as an invasion of Earth, while the game itself wasn't like that at all?

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I have to agree with you. Most of the missions took place on the ring while the invasion of earth was very short in halo 2.

I believe Halo 2 meant to have more earth levels, along with a ton of other different levels, but that unfortunate deadline Micro$oft enforced, made bungie pretty much cut off roughly 50% of the game content in the halo 2 of today.

As for that last trailer that showed awsome graphics, well, I heard, that the heavily scripted level, along with the alpha halo 2 game, was made to run on a dev's xbox, which supposively runs 128 RAM, which was a mistake, considering a regular xbox has 64 RAM, which would explain the dumbed down plasma projectiles in the released game, compared to the second trailer, which had beautiful plasma effects.

(It is likely that bungie didn't know that their dev's xbox was different, as they encountered a blue screen of error, when they tested it)

Anyway, just for some fun trivia, here is a old Halo 1 Trailer. Ironically, that incredibly old trailer was also heavily scripted.

You are right, it was marketed like a that. But it was still an awesome game regardless.
