Well I was just browsing around looking at Half-Life 2 material oddly enough, and I found a news piece that said some people in america had broken the official date by selling the item early, items have also appeared on ebay.

Anyway I decided to have a look for it on BT, with no luck, then had a quick check on usenet and there it was :)

Downloading it now, should be finished by the morn, hopefully my savegames from the other one will work.

This should keep me going till Half Life 2 on the 16th :D

Bah. I'd really like to get excited about the Xbox Halo 2. The thing is that I got used to playing it on a PC. It'd be so much of a pain to convert that I think I wouldn't enjoy it.

And at that...from the beautiful commercial's graphics. I think it be way above spec. When I eventually had the chance to continue the awesomeness.

Let us know if it works shenlong.

lol if only it had actually downloaded :|

My understanding of the whole usenet system isnt that high, but basically it just about entirely downloaded half of the files, and then the rest of them just failed. lol.

Well I sorted it out and its downloading now, unfortunately due to my laziness its 2pm here and I only just woke up, so if I constantly download it, it will be done by 7....which I really cant be bothered to do.

Well looks like Ill just have to wait till tommorow :rolleyes:

It's out early cause stores always get the copies of games in before they come out. The smaller, more secluded game stores sometime can get away with sellin em 8) .

Halo 2 = Awesome Game
its seems a little too short though, playing on xbox live would seem like a lot of fun

I havent been that impressed with it so far to be perfectly honest, its very similar to the first one with a few add ons so far.

At first I thought it was just alright...and then a couple hours later I think it's amazing. Dunno why. Love the look, love the game, love the single and multi! I really enjoy the strategical elements dual wielding/grenade and melee ability offers. Though I was dissapointed that they took out falling damage. That needed to be an option, not the standard...

Who is paying $50 to watch a $7 movie 4 times? Thats what people are paying for the newest hyped and great playing games. At that in advance.

They are saying the high profile games are going to exceed big movie profits. While watching tv today besides G4TechTV, other stations are really getting their game on (programming and promo wise).

I beat it on wednesday... I got a bit pissed off at the ending though. I wanted to kill more. (well, I guess I could work on Heroic/Legendary :? )

Wow...the ending does suck...that was a buncha crap. Though, I must say I am thoroughly unimpressed at anyone beating it on normal...normal was dumbed down to like easy this time around...but that's ok, I played heroic anyhow :) .

Hope-fully they don't start putting adds into video games if it execeeds the movie industry in revinew....
I can picture it now.. You're on some desolate planet, yeah troopers are all lined up ready to defend. The zerg are about the rush you, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.. You can't help but notice the sudden dialoge of one of yeah troopers. "Sarge, i could sure use an <insert some beer here, followed by an sudden appereance of scantly clad woman and shitty music>"

Nah, they'd just stick the ads in an unavoidable intro everytime you start up the game like the trailers in all the new dvd's.

well i beat it through on legendary
unfourtunatly there is no special ending for it.

And i was initially dissapointed with the ending, but still its kinda cool
i wish there were more "earth" missions.

And legendary is fucking near impossible
it took me a half an hour alone to get past this one part where there is like 40 brutes and some dudes with sniper rifles that kill you in one shot. And their aim is flawless.

I could imagine...fucking jackal snipers. And it doesn't help that brutes take a million shots to kill. That reminds me, I HATE brute plasma rifles, they're so gay. I'm glad the elites usually kicked their asses when I saw them square off one on one. Damn brutes.

does anyone know about the whole content thing with the extra maps and junk?? i've surfed a couple sites, but the answers seem few and far between and very confusing and conflicting.
Is the only map extra map you can get without X-live Foundatation, or is there more?
