The way I see it, we both lost anyway.
So, last night, I had a friend over and we decided to play Halo 2 one last time on my 360. We played a few multiplayer offline matches and then moved on to playing through the entire game on co-op.
This is where the weird stuff starts to happen.
We had just beaten Cairo Station and were at the beginning of Outskirts and got about halfway through when I started noticing an afterimage obstructing my view when in certain lighting. It appeared to a burn-in image, but as we progressed from level to level, it changed. There was a different after-image for each level. All of them only appearing in certain lighting. By the time we had gotten to Delta Halo, I discovered the image was 3 dimensional because it could pass through 3D objects but would always be seen when you looked up to the skybox.
Now, beyond that there was an assortment of other things that happened.
We noticed very uncommon dialog lines from characters in-game were occurring to the point where some of them I had never heard in my entire life of Halo 2. Trust me on this one, I used to play Halo 2 A LOT, to the point of memorizing many of the lines in cutscenes and combat dialog.
On another strange point, there were subtle changes to the cutscenes I noticed, whether it was an animation or (cutscene at the beginning of Regret) a rather large chunk of lines and shots were completely omitted.
Then, finally, the last thing that happened I remember was on the level Regret. We were on the elevator that goes underwater and as it emerged from the water my character disappeared and my screen showed a 3rd person view of the 2nd player. I didn't die, I simply disappeared.
Anyway, just wanted to share these experiences with you guys. I thought maybe an update for Halo 2 changed some things for strange reasons...or maybe some new easter eggs. Or maybe its like the directors cut of Halo 2 now.
EDIT: Prior to playing there was an update.
EDIT: Cortana doesn't say "Wait go back" at beginning of Regret, Cortana lines about Library are skipped, some of Miranda's lines were skipped too.(just off the top of my head)
EDIT: We never got to beat the whole game, It was 3:00 am and we were tired. We ended when we got to Gravemind, so changes/after-images to later levels or the ending are undetermined.
EDIT: Make sure to read the whole thing, this just isn't about an after-image.
Share your thoughts.
