I've been around since the forums were revamped.

And the reason Halo 2 took so long was they were rebuilding the game engine. Work truly began on Halo 2 ten months before it was released. The rest of the time was the game engine being coded and prepped.


Exactly the E3 2003 version couldn't run on the Xbox. They needed to rebuild the game engine, 10 months before its release. The 2 previous years were almost lost time.

Lmao, 10 months. That's the stupidest thing ever. Sure, someone told you that. Wow, believe everything. I've been here since before Halo 2 was announced. Lemme tell you something, it didn't take 10 months. Obviously, you've never seen the announcement trailer. Oh wait a second, that didn't come out two years before Halo 2 or anything. And have you seen the detail of desing in the trailer? Its because they had been working for months on it. Halo 2 took forever. Just because you odn't like it doesn't mean it sucks. If it were just any old game, let's call it "Shoot People" you would think its amazing. But since it has the same name as Halo, you get made because it didn't have the pistol. OH WAIT! Now you're complaining because you think Halo 3 is going to be the same 'crap' as Halo 2. But you wanted Halo 2 to be the same as Halo 1. Don't you understand ou have no logic at all?! Halo 2 is the most played xbox live game ever, on both systems, and you still complain. Guess what! Bungie doesn't care if oyu like to whore the pistol or use mods. Stop complaining that Halo 3 is going to be the same game. A-it isn't. And B-you can't even tell. They put out one short video with nothing in it. No gameply, no new features. NOTHING! Stop saying that its going to suck or that its the same or whatever. You don't know anything about it.

EDIT:THIS IS TO ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT, I WAS JUST RANTING.


Welcome to the world's most nonsensical post.

*word edit.

Would you rather wait till July 2007 instead of the first quarter?


I hope Bungie waits until they have worked out every bug and glitch (like Halo CE),
that said I think that H3 will ship November 9th 2007 exactly 3 years after Halo 2.

i dont even care about the story

im speechless...you dont care!?!


as of right now... no i'm not concerned with the story. i have played both halo ce and halo 2 several times over, but i still don't really understand the entire story. i can wait for the game to realize the conclusion to the story, but i want multiplayer info or at least some NEW details about the game... i.e. will master chief react from gunfire the way characters in perfect dark zero do (free movement even after death)... that kind of stuff is what i really want to know. think about it... the story is meant to be understood after experiencing the medium, this works in movies, books, video games. but prior to the actual experience, humans like to look at other details; for example, speculation on special effects in an upcoming Peter Jackson film...

where is the update????? at least my 3rd xbox 360 was just delivered by the UPS guy, straight from McAllen, Tx. I'm going to play Oblivion. someone should call my cell later on and read the update to me.. thanks

LOL, if it has a new story and better graphics, then how could it be the same game? Halo 2 had a new story and better graphics than Halo 1, especially in the multiplayer maps( playing Wizard after playing Warlock? Yuck!) so essentially it was a different game, right? It's called evolution, I guess.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

If the developers aren't experimenting with new engines will we get the same old halo 2 crap?

How can Bungie improve on the number one console online gaming battlefield in the world?


So halo 2 is "Crap" yet is the number one console online game for xbox? The way gameplay goes in campaign stinks but the story and cutscenes are great as well as online play.

If but what about TOD and weather effects? quote]

Are you not watching the same trailer as I am? Note dust particles and note the storm over head. Also note it rains on backwash.

well if you think theyre ending the world...theyre gonna have to do it with a bit of style arent they!!
i wouldnt be surprised if its taken the last year to get the first few levsls done...its gonna be some pretty spectacular stuff!!!

i would much rather wait 2 years for a spectacular game than 1 for a very good one....after all...this could be the last halo game as we know halo...yer there may be another game where we have to defeat the flood or finally eliminate the covenant...maybe even the battle of reach or the beginning of the war...but it wont be the same!
