Hey Grumpy1, what do you use to record it looks really good (I ask like this and not in a private message as I think others would also like to know this).
I use an ATI Radeon capture card (internal). Mine has a TV tuner on it so I can watch TV on my comp. A lot of people like Dazzle cc's because they are external (usb). Dazzle = about $80 to $100....ATI = about $140 to $160.

My ATI card doubles as a graphics accelerator as well as capture. An external cc is not a graphics accelerator so the quality would depend upon how good your existing (internal) graphics card is.
Geez, Grump, you certainly know your stuff. I think I may claim your (alleged) throne as the curmudgeonly older guy who remembers the 70's. I recall a time when there was a line for the Pac Man machine. Enough said. Nestegg is more out of touch than all of you !!! Good to see you're still on here. Keep the faith old man.
Lol, I've got one word for you......Pong. When it first appeared I thought it was high tech. The first computer I purchased had a 286 processor with 20 mb of memory. Before all that I was a Pinball wizard.

Alright, pinball wizardry does predate me (scarcely). I tip my handheld football and 2600 nightmares to you, Grump. You are the sage here. (Man, what a time.)

Thanks from the list. This will give me something to do when I get bored of playing Halo 2s campaign.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

Halo 2 for Life!

Hopefully this forum moves a little faster when reach comes out because it's moving painfully slow and good threads are being buried under very repetitive and weird threads.

Does anyone agree? Anyways, talking to this thread (one that I think is good and contributed to previous) I'm looking to try the campaign again and I will try out these explorations of campaign you have posted because they look pretty neat.

I wont be making a walkthrough, but if I do something cool, I will most likely put it in a offline H2 montage that I'm currently getting video for (probably not going to come for 3 or more years but.. it's all good lol).

Thx for the suggestions of cool things to try in the campaign (and to make a already enjoyable experience even more enjoyable).

Update: I've been messing around in Armory lately and I've discovered a new way to get out and into space, even before Sargeant Johnson spawns. It involves what I call door Ghosting. So I offer two vids, a short version and a tutorial for moving boxes around (which is not easy in Armory).

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I would like to see these remade using Halo 2 Vista and 1080p resolution :D

That quarentine zone glitch was awsome thanks!.

Welcome, welcome to city 17...

when outside on the cairo if you have gotten out and are exploring. at the part where you encounter 3 ranger elites just before the bomb room, on the opposing side there is an area that is very similar, watch out there are a few places where if you go you will be unable to get back out.

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

Well, after all this time you should just give us a description instead of cryptic hints. Or grab your phone and take a pic.

Sniper tracer... I think that is the smoke that trails the shot, after you fire the sniper.

tut = Tutorial

Every vid I've made has been a tut in some way because I want others to experience and enjoy the inner workings of H2.

Here's how to drive a Spectre out of Burial Mounds.

Found a pretty neat video (not OP good but still pretty cool) of a person using sword flying to follow a phantom.

Yup, done by a good friend of mine named Dark Helmet. He was the first guy to fly up to the Met Scarab gun (done Feb 2005). In fact, the method he developed is a weapon switch sword lunge (WSSL), he locks on to an enemy with a rocket launcher and switches to the sword...it takes perfect timing. When I first started tricking in March 2005 that sword lunge to the Scarab gun bridge was the first vid I ever saw.

Here's the greatest weapon switch sword luinge ever, by another friend of mine named scurty.

Now you got me going, here's one where I fly into the Great Journey hole in space.

Sorry about the bump but I just discovered how to do a super long swordfly accross the Metropolis bridge, and then some. It's an experimental vid because there is something else I want to do and this leads up to it.

If you are not Italian and at least 30 years old, turn off the sound or listen at your own risk.
