TiE Um... excuse me but I got the Limited Edition Thankyou very much. And it was my money that I paid with not yours.:p
Today is the day the ilovebees website has been counting down to.
The site has given out coordinates all across the USA, where payphones will ring at a certain time, where a password must be given by the person who picks up the phone.
Fans are going crazy. Speculation on an early release and a demo are rampant.
Beware people. The end has come.
If you're still confused, read this (
http://bees.netninja.com/blog/) for a better explanation.
cool... That's all there's to say about that. Too abd it's only USA...
Hahahaha!! There isn't going to be a demo until after Halo 2 is released. I read that at
www.bungie.com).
:fett:
i hope i can convince my brother to pre-order halo2: limited edition, i mean i would, but i'm using my money to buy KotoR2 :D
I preorded the limited edition, because I always wanted a limited edition of something. I wanted the limited edition of UT2K4, but I waited too long.
Besides, as if you can't tell from my av/sig combo.....Halo is my favorite game ever at this point.
I might preorder Halo2 for its spiffy tin case.
And like Groovy, I was too late with UT2k4, so I don't have anything special addition.
I do have the Halo special edition XBox though :p
I still don't understand the ilovebees thing. Whatever.
You're not supposed to understand it.
That's the point, it's pure randomness.

I dunno.....
So far we (the insane Halo fans) have gotten most of the axons "hot", meaning the phones have been answered with the correct response. Hopefully today we'll finish the rest up and peice together the .wav files that have been going up with each 2 axons going hot.

Well, I jsut watched it. It seems like a really fun multiplayer. Halo multiplayer is fun, Im sure this'll be double it.
(PS : The person playing the game gets killed MANY MANY MANY times. Which means he sucks)

I was gonna say the EXACT same thing. Cept, I didn't watch the whole thing for 2 reasons:
1: The guy sucked, and its boring watching a corpse.
2: I don't like being teased. Makes me violent.
Expand your Imagi-Nation
Yeah, he sucks.
But he did pull of that insane Ghost hijack.
Now that was just sweet.

Yeah, but then he died. That dude sucked. I could've killed everyone there easily.
:fett:
Oh, I'd be pwning eeryone so badly. I'm actually really good at Halo. I'm really surprised at that, cuz I've started playing it again a couple days ago after not playing it for 3 months.
No, I'd PWN everyone. I play 400 shields and no shields, nothing else. The 400 shields help in offense, no shields help in defense (greatly). And, I have been playing this game for over a year now. Everyone thinks that they are good, a bit after just playing it. They end up being PWNED and not being able to get a kill on me. That seems like your case.
:fett:
My favorite is slayer pro on blood gulch. I play with the normal everything. Assault rifle, and pistol, and 4 grenades. Thats good enough for me.
My favorite is Majin Slayer or Majin Suicide (custom obviously).
Majin Slayer- 400 shields, all weapons, infinite grenades, all vehicles, all radar/motion tracker, 5-second suicide penalty, infinite lives, 25 frags.
Majin Suicide- No shields, all weapons, infinite grenades, all vehicles, no radar/motion tracker, 5-second suicide penalty, infinite lives, 25 frags.
I like to play on Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, or Hang 'em High. Hang 'em High is my favorite.
:fett:
I'm very underimpressed by anyone who plays with anything other than default shields and ESPECIALLY people who play with infinite grenades. :dozey:
umm, how do i download it, why can't sites be to the point, like have a link that says download here, or something, call me a noob if it is nessasary.
November 9..... Can't wait! Now to get money for live..

Which makes me feel better, because I am better than THAT guy is at such games.
Unfortunately I have not had the unique pleasure of playing Halo on Multiplayer, let alone Halo 2.
My online games as of now are Call of Duty, which I am not great at, but getting better.... UT2K4, not great, but not terrible. Then there is JA which I have good days and bad days, and then there is AVP2 which I am just terrible at....
I have this one mode called Eminem (Couldn't think of anthing)
No Shields
50% Health
Inf. Grenades
Custom Weapons on Rat Race (Assault Rifles)
25 Kills
:D
It becomes a short lived war.
TiE
I work well in teams, but as always, i can't operate if my team is n00bness reincarnated. I will be easily pwned in FFA, but if only part of my team has some experience, we'll do very well...
Hmm, I'm not sure what 50% health means with no shields, isn't that for shields...?
Oh, and in that video, anyone notice that it was shields only? Maybe this is a new option for Halo 2? Or, maybe that is an old HUD for Halo 2. I noticed the new friend indicators, and this is what I got: yellow is for when they are attacking, red is for when they are being attacked, and an "X" is for when they are dead. Normal is when they are none of the above.
Also, when you double-wield, it gives you the crosshair from the gun on the right. The guns now actually can lay against a wall, rather than always be flat on the ground. The Sniper Rifle has a zoom of 5x and then 10x. The Battle Rifle has no numbers whn zoomed, so I assume it is 2x.
The Plasma Rifle looks realistic, and the plasma weapo ns have new sounds. The Ghost doesn't have that annoying whine to it, when it is on. The Warthog sounds clearer and better now as well. You can also see your feet if you look down. The armor has green and pink plates on certain areas as well.
The one other thing I noticed was that...this dude sucked!!
:fett:
i hate internet explorer....doesn't even open the download page, i hate it, whatever,still what ive heard, sounds liek me and my bro will have endless amountes of fun when we get it.
me and my brohter(he is older) play some much on halo, we love it, we have played at least 300 multiplayer games, ive won like 5 times, he has won the rest, its pitiful, but i kcik his butt in more than 3 player game.
LOL, get Mozilla Firefox, it is the fastest, and tab-browsing!!
:fett:
That guy is crap. If everyone at that tournament was as bad as him, I would win without a single death.
Anyways, that video was great but the graphics were not as I expected. I thought that they would be much better but these are kind of a disappointment. But oh well. ;)
It's still beta. The graphics have gotten way better.
:fett:
I could see they don't have ragdoll psyics (I can't spell that correctly, sorry.) I don't see why they haven't but them in. It would be a shame to see such a great game let down by heads going through walls and the like.
Oh and did anyone notice that Sleepy guy? He was really good, he owned the guy who was recording!
Well I saw enough video to know that I will waste countless hours playing that game on live with a bunch of lunatics! :D
i like the craziness of an online play of halo(i have halo for both pc and xbox) but i love the joy and intensity of a 1 on 1 combat. i hope to get live when halo2 comes out because i can't stand using keyboard and mouse for online play.
XBOX connect is a great alternative to Live, you should try XBC first to see if you can use it alot, If you don't use it much, maybe you shouldn't get XBOX Live.
I can't wait for Halo 2 anymore! :D
Oh yah... 2000 POSTS! :D
WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TiE
Our local gamestop store called us about two days ago and said that Bungie canceled the special edition statedegy guide or something and told us that we can get the regular version or go to the store and get a refund.

Whats so great about XBC? How is it with the lag?
I was playing RS3 the other day, and was getting some nasty lag, not sure if it was me, or not. I suck so bad at that game, that I didn't continue much after that.

Thats some idiot with a 128k connection trying to host, not you. Keep on practicing, I've only played the demo but I'm sure you'll improve.
Oh and did anyone notice the pistol anywhere? That was my favorite weapon, but I guess now my favorite will be the SMG.

TiE and I didn't get that much lag when we played XBC, there were some lag but it wasn't consistent. I could've been the guy who you were playing with. Who knows.
We kick butt at Halo multiplayer!:D

Yeah but Halo on XBOX doesn't have online MP. Are you talking about the PC game?! You got me all confused now. :confused:

He's talking about playing online with XBConnect.
Near the release date of Halo I'm going to create a meet-up thread. There we can arrange when and where we will meet up to have a game of Halo 2.
That's a good idea. Er, at least if they're gonna make it for pc, and if that one's gonna get released around the same time, and if other people here will get it for pc aswell...
Just an update to anyone who cares about this I love bees stuff.
The mystery has supposedly been solved. The .wav files on ilovebees.com are supposed to be listened to in a certain order, adding to the plot of Halo 2.
People think that these .wav files are describing earth before the Covenant invasion.
That's it. No demo, no early release, no nothing.
It was fun while it lasted. Sure, maybe Bungie played off insane fans desire to play this game. But it was damn fun trying to figure this crap out when August 25th rolled around.

I WANT Halo for pc just so I can play online with other people, however my graphics card is not quite good enough for Halo. For as much money as I would have to spend on a better one, i'd rather just wait for Halo 2 to come out instead.
This (
http://img90.exs.cx/img90/5272/HALO_Holy_Combat.jpg) definitely deserves recognition. It may be off by 4 years, but it's still great.
Regarding Halo, it seems as if the Pistol from Halo: CE HAS been remodeled and tweaked. It's now going to be known as the Magnum, which will do less damage and have fewer bullets per clip (10 for a magnum, as opposed to 12 per the 'pistol') along with no zoom. It IS said to be dual-wieldable.
No more three shot pistol kills....
Here's a pic (

Here's a link (

The more you save, the more you score by bringing them to your home base."
