Halo2/3 chat.

Yea actually Sonic is pretty fun. I love all of the Sonic games. And the pistol is only useless in the campaign. In MP it is one of the best guns to use while dual weilding. Of course i think Bungie shoulda made it better then it is for SP.

 

What do you mean by guns?

 

he was talking about what this thread is suppost to be talking about halo. the new patch that bungie put on x box live did they make the pistol stronger or weaker? jr 24 what do you mean by SP

 

Sp means single player. Does anyone have any new info on anything about halo 3, anyting?

 

i dont, does anyone else. and whats all this talk about sonic being the best game. go make a sonic thread if you wanna talk about it Stitch

 

hey you guys know the first level that you are the arbiter ok. my friend found this glitch. when you have the sword and it runs out of battery DON'T drop it carry it with you through the whole level. it doesn't matter what difficulty you do it on but then when you go to the next level the sword stays with you but you can't see. you just have the brass knuckls looking thing but you can still lunge and kill things it is awsome. you have unlimited battery also it is so cool. you guys should try it.

 

Is the nextbox coming out real soon because i saw this commercial on tv that says somthing like the "next generation of entertainment is coming" and then at the end of the commercial it it shows an XBOX logo but its not the normal logo that XBOX has its a little different. It think it a commercial for the next xbox.

 

They're coming out with aanother sonic game? cool. Sonic is good but nothings better than halo

 

Ok, now can we please get back to Halo.

 

SP=single player
And they have made the pistol stronger with the recent xbl auto update. they also took out the glitches(most of em) and made the battle rifle stronger, grenades stronger, and melee stronger.

And about the xbox2 commercial. MS is using a way of advertising called 'viral advertising' where they release various info on their new product slowly through dif types of media. I believe that xbox2 is coming this xmas but who knows. i think MS will be announcing it in the next E3 thingy.

 

You think it will be announced this E3, it have been announced that they will be E3 sporting the next gen console.

 

ok i guess no body caught that thing about the glitch!

 

Yes, get back to Halo chat and not sonic chat. I remeber reading something about MS is going to be revealing something of the next x-box during an MTV show sometime in May. I'll try and find the exact quotes.

Okay found them and so I dont get into any trouble lol heres the site i got it from http://www.xbox.com/en-US/news/2005/0411-mtv.htm

Newsflash:
MTV Debuts the Next Xbox!

Elijah Wood will host a half-hour global premiere, with a performance from The Killers, airing exclusively on MTV channels around the world on May 12 and 13.


April 11, 2005, New York City, N.Y.—MTV: Music Television and Microsoft® Corp. today announced a global marketing alliance to unveil the next-generation Xbox® video game system on MTV channels in the United States, Asia Pacific, and Europe, all within a 24-hour window, a first for the videogame industry.

The highly anticipated console will be revealed to videogame fanatics, music lovers, and MTV viewers via a high-energy half-hour program titled “MTV Presents: The Next-Generation Xbox Revealed.” The special will be hosted by entertainment icon, seasoned gamer, and Xbox fanatic Elijah Wood, known globally for the Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Island Records’ renowned Las Vegas rockers The Killers will deliver electrifying performances throughout the special.

The global broadcast will premiere Thursday, May 12, 2005, at 9:30 P.M. Eastern in North America and on Friday, May 13, 2005, in other regions around the globe (local air times below).

Viewers will get an exclusive look at the Xbox vision for the next generation—one that ensures that the user experience is always connected, always personalized, and always in high definition. The special will feature never-before-seen, action-packed gameplay of future Xbox games; a peek into the future of the Xbox Live™ online gaming service; backstage celebrity interviews; and exclusive insider footage on the making of the next-generation console.

The inside look at the next-generation Xbox will continue at MTV.com, where after the special, viewers will find extended event coverage, including behind-the-scenes video, photos, and other special extras. MTV.com will also provide ongoing in-depth coverage of the next-generation Xbox, highlighting the latest news, product details, and previews of hot next-generation games.

“We recognize and celebrate our viewers’ passion for gaming and are excited to be working with Microsoft to launch such a significant entertainment product,” said John Shea, executive vice president, Integrated Marketing and Sponsorship Development, MTV Networks Music Group. “We’re proud that Microsoft considers MTV the premier global network to launch its new Xbox gaming console and reveal the first look to MTV viewers around the world.”

“Just as MTV revolutionized the way the world experiences music, the next-generation video game console from Xbox will spark a revolution in how consumers experience games and other forms of digital entertainment,” said Peter Moore, corporate vice president, Xbox Worldwide Marketing and Publishing, Microsoft. “We are ecstatic about our alliance with MTV and unveiling a video game platform in a way that has never been done.”

 

On the advert that is on MTV the woman says "something that will change entertainment forever" does that mean that Xbox 2 /360 wont just be a games console.

 

Yep thats what I was talking about.

 

Yea xbox2 is gonna be a lot more then just a console. itll do everything the first one did and everything it didnt. i read on a site that it is gonna have everything u ever thought could be put into a console. Ill do my best to find that site but idk if i will be able to bc it was in Dec last year when i read this so i cant remember the site name.

 

If you have been following Microsoft and their windows saga, they have been wanting to make Windows Media Center (MCE), there main OS to replace standard Windows for the reason of making the home pc as much part of the family as a television is. If you dont know MCE is, it is what Xbox Media Center is modeled after.

It is no doubt in my mind, that the xbox 360 will have a lot to do with combatility with PCs and MCE. I bet there will be more advantages for someone with MCE. Like I mentioned in other threads, Microsoft wants the 360 to be a source for home entertainment, and not just a one dimensionsal gaming console.

The whole idea of Xbox 360 being wireless has everything to do with it too. Old systems with wires means clutter and most people don't unplug the controllers after they are done playing, which means there is clutter where ever the game is being played. So if the system is uncluttered without the wires, it will make the system more family room friendly.

Not to mention wireless means a wireless ready remote that will be more Entertainment system friend, NO stupid remote dongle, but will be most likely sold seperately.

 

Microsoft did this with halo 2, they had a site called "ilovebees.com" It was set-up like a game where you find passwords, solve puzzles, and do all sorts of things to reveil never before seen pics and info about halo 2. So close to the release date of halo 2, all sorts of things were being "leaked", but was just an successful way to gain interest in game with little advertising dollars.

Well the good people at M$ are doing the same thing with xbox 360, but this time the site is called, "ourcoloney.net" That is where all of these so-called "leaked" pics are coming from.

Don't you think it is kinda wierd a lot of these leaked pics, like the project gothom racing pic, the various xbox360 pics at wired angles. It is part of their Marketing Scheme. For instance:

and

and the project gothom racing 3 pic here:


and the newly "leaked" pic of the memory card:


you see, they all have the same characteristics. Funky angles, very close-up, but enough to raise interest in the system and prompting all of these sites to show the images and raise more speculation

so here is another pic

 

yea that is wat i was talking about. and here is a site with some of the info ive heard:
http://www.xbreporter.com/xbox_2_news.php

i dont think it is the exact one i saw many months ago but it still says that MS is trying to make Xbox 2 a home entertainment system.

 

cool, too bad i only got my xbox a while ago and im not spending my money on a console im just getting to play halo 3 on cos im still saving for a car when i get my "L's" next year.
