I don't own an x-box, but I love the game Halo. For anyone who has played it, they know why. It's an awesome game. The best part about Halo is you can have tournaments where you can hook a bunch of X-Box's together with several TVs and have a massive war with each other. Anyways, Halo 2 is set to come out this November. Anyone else excited? What are some of the few tournaments or games you have invented?

One of the games I invented is called "Rodeo". You play it in blood gulch or sidewinder. You set the game to rocket launchers only and warthogs only. It's a three person game. Two people are in the Hogs and they play a rally, ramming into each other. For those who don't know, a warthog is almost like an ATV. Anyway, while they try to ram and kill each other, the other person has a rocket launcher and tries to kill one or even both of the people in the hogs. Once you know where the shooter is, you can try to run him over, but if he kills you, he gets your warthog and you now have to stalk. It's really fun.

I can't wait either, but unfortuneatly, i am out of money, so I can't buy it new, will have to buy it used.

A game me and my friends play is demolition derby. You play it in blood gulch or sidewinder. We set up tanks and ghosts if we're playing with warthogs, and warthog and tanks if we're playing with ghosts. You can jump over the other vehicles, but the main idea is to crash into eachother until someone flies into the air. You try to do cool tricks and still land upright.

My brother has it preordered. I want it now dammit.

Me and my brother play a game called the Rocket Launcher game. it can be played in any level and the objective is simple; blow yourself up and see how high your body goes. I got mine past where the graphics end once.
Janiel
is it gonna come out on PC?!?
saucy
I'm not sure if it will be out on PC yet. What's really fun is playing rocket launchers only in "Prisoner". There is blood, bodies and rocket burn marks all over the place. It's awesome!
Shakezulah
yeah probably Janiel. the first one did, but after about 2 years after it was on xbox. 2 is gonna be awsome. i dont have an xbox tho so i cant buy it.
Subtemperate

I bought the soundtrack mostly so I could get the demo disk that came with it because my computer wouldn't let me watch it online grin2.gif .

It's comin out November 9th, in Canada and the US. A day after my birthday. I bet it'll be sold out in most stores by the next 2-3 days here.

My brothers, and cousin's all bought xbox, just to play Halo. That's about 8-9 xbox's sold just to us relatives. laugh.gif Got a big family grin2.gif We used to hook them up and play each other through the network. Can't wait for this one. thumbsup.gif
Janiel
Edit: Removed really stupid, pointless post that was full of typos and insulting the X-box. Thanks, and good-night.
mr_halo
i still can't wait, i just want to go into battle with the marines, i love having marines on the missions, and from the trailer they look so good, and help you out and cover you....ooooooh i want halo 2 now...

and the XBOX is very good, thank you very much....

no, its really not. it has a few very good games but thats about the only thing it has going for it. i dont see why so many people love it. and why does it have to weigh 50 tons.
mr_halo
mine doesn't weigh that much, maybe you just have weak arms....

and it has quite a few good games, and not that many really bad ones i mean the ps2 has about 100 bad games for every good one...but it doesn't really i like the XBOX so do others, and some don't, no big deal....

Shakezulah
about the xbox weighing so much, i was being sarcastic. but it is like 5 times heavier than the other systems.

it doesnt have THAT many good games. some of them are really good, a few are ok, and the rest suck balls. the ps2 has a lot of great games. not that many that suck either. and have you noticed that most of the games these days come out for 2 or all of the systems? so i dont know how you can say that ps2 doesnt have that many good games. if ps2 had 1 good game for every 100, then there would be billions of ps2 games. there are only about 5 to 10 games that are good for every xbox game there is(ones that are only for it, i mean). plus, i dont see any resident evil games coming out for xbox any time soon so its not that great.
mr_halo
no but halo 2 and fable and kotor 2 are coming out on the xbox and those are the games i want, so i have the right system for the games i want...
Uncle Meat
i dont know what in the world you guys are talking about! xbox is the best system ever! it anialates the competition! and halo 2 will be the best game ever! i cant wait!
Shakezulah
yeah those games will be pretty good. fable looks awsome and halo 2 looks fantastic. idk about KOTOR2 tho...i didnt like the first. but what is doesnt have coming out for it is RE4, GTASA, Jak 3, Ratchet and Clanck 3, Killzone, and many many others.
mr_halo
many others being what?....also you listed games that are going to be on 2 different consoles, but the next GTA is coming out on the xbox, although i don't really enjoy the GTA games....and halo 2 will be better then killzone, so i can live without it..

anyway back to topic, i can't wait for halo 2....woooooooooo grin2.gif
Shakezulah
evidently you missed my point. i was listing the games that WERENT coming out for xbox. it doesnt make a difference what consoles they are on.
and killzone is going to be at about the same level of halo and halo 2. if you read the articles on it, then you would know.
mr_halo
i have no need to read about a game i have no interest in, i have a ps2 though so i could buy some of the games that don't come out on the XBOX...

and if killzone is going to be at the same level as halo, oh dear, halo is a few years old now...
OneEye
PS2 just seems better because it's been out for longer, which means it has more games. Those games, plus the original PS1 games that you can play on it make for a lot of games. Then XBox and PS2 get pretty much the same new games.
Uncle Meat
i have a wierd theory that after master chief puts cortana in the control center in the cutscene at the beginning of two betrails (sp) she turns evil. know what im talking about?¿?
OneEye
No, she's just POed. Lol. Well, it'd be kind of cool if she like had a virus installed into her in the next game and she was like taking over... A good plot for Halo 3!
mr_halo
i heard there wasn't going to be a halo 3..... sad.gif , and i hope cortana doesn't turn evil, theres just no need for it, i mean the humans are out numbered and losing anyway, why make things even worse...
Uncle Meat
but remember after shes like: "halo has vast powers....." and then she just freaks out! "we need to get out of here NOW!" sooooo evil
Hawk7886
Considering Bungie's past use of AI, I think it's safe to say that Cortana is going to go rampant.

Durandal, anyone?

First Strike had a lot of hints dropped about Cortana's mental state. Wouldn't want her on board a Covenant Flagship with a replicating program...
mr_halo

I know that feeling, I just picked up the box and held it in my hands, thinking about November.

As someone once said, "When I get Halo 2, I'm going to put it in my Xbox and remove the Eject button."
mr_halo

is it november yet? crying.gif , i want this game......arghhhhh!!!
