Let's see, you cited your source, and paraphrased the whole thing. This is perfectly legal, and more importantly, moral. People still have to read the article to get the whole story, and they still have to buy it to see the pictures, which is 70% of the reason to get it in the first place. Although, for future reference, you should include the date of the magazine, and also include the actual page numbers.

Thanks! Oh with five times bigger, I think they mean: the levels' areas are going to be five times bigger... I don't even want to hope for the game to take 5 times as much time to complete it. If that were (grammar? *) the case and they'd confirm it, I'd wet myself. Seriously. :-)

* Grammar question: Do you say: "If that was the case" or "If that were the case? (I think it's this.) ..... Or is "If that would be the case" the only grammatically right option?
If different structures are used for different meanings, please enlighten me... thanks.

Spelling Whiz - thanks for your input.
Bartman, they meant the game WOULD be 5x bigger.
Sequel estimated to be “Five times BIGGER.” HOLY CRABCAKES..........Plus, “any given level” said to be at least FOUR TIMES AS BIG as Assault on the Control Room. Second order of Holy CrabCakes, table se7en, please?

Sooooo...yah. I also think Demo Derby would SO kick ass...better than RACE.

And LawnGnome - awesome name, btw - they probably will incorporate some method of dislodging your enemy's grasp from the -blam!-pit....maybe a bit o' ragdoll physics for LIVE bodies getting thrown off? that'd be cool.......

I think i mentioned they had it as a thread (with pics on it) over @ turbogames.com....try that.

SPARTAN-021 is really one..."registered (?)" SPARTAN, and i thought that it was the original program (SPARTAN-II [2] program.....where John and the others originated, and his name was 117, and there were only 75 picked......i wonder what happened to the SPARTAN one program...but, then again, others in the books have numbers < 75, so my theory has little relevance).

Thanks for your Patronage, guys! (right word?...)

Well, Bungie is a Microsoft Company, and Xbox makes the Xbox, sooooo.....kinda sorta same thing?

Cut 'em some slack. they're working on the game, leaving the dirty work to the mag.

There was no Spartan 1 project. The Spartans were great warriors from ancient times.

thanks for the info! although it would be kinda nice to see the screens from the GI Halo 2 article. maybe bungie should have put at least 1 or 2 of them up. o well. guess beggars can't be choosers.

actaully, that reminds me... i wonder how steve o, the guy who won the trip to bungie studios, is doing? hmm... probably laughing at us.

That was great, one hell of a post!! But i want to share an idea with you. You know how bungie can tak third person shots of the action in Halo 2, well what if we could take screenshots say after pressing start you are given the option to go outside the MC and take a pic of what you were doing. The pic would be stored on the HD for later viewing. What do you think?


That's a good idea!
