I don't know. I could see them doing something like that. I don't think they'd do it in french though...but that Bill Gates is pretty smart, so you never know.

When it comes out (2 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours and 35 minutes) and I get some more money, i'm probably going to subscribe to Xbox live. Maybe after the Halo playing nubblites get good at the new one, we can have some online Nubblies Halo 2 tournaments.

They wouldn't be the first to do it.

I downloaded a copy of XIII when it came out, and it was intentionally only the first 6 or 7 levels, then you couldn't advance it just said "if you want the access key (required for one of the levels) buy the program!"

Orgazmo · 10-21-2004, 05:45 PM

This is why them intentionally releasing the game doesn't make any sense to me:

The people that download the pre of the game can be divided into two groups:
People who were never going to buy the game in the first place
&
People who plan/ned on buying the game

I assume we agree on the fact that the game would have (and still will) been available for download in full at the latest within days of the retail release.

That said, I would say that virtually everyone who would have downloaded the game instead of buying it once it came out downloaded this prerelease. Of course there are people who didn't get it because of various minor details (it being in french, doubting it's the real version, shit like that), but I think it's fair to say that this release isn't going to influence any of the would-be downloaders to buy the game once it releases. Either they downloaded this version...and they're content until the retail US version is available for download...or they didn't download this version because they're waiting for the retail US version to be available for download.

Since it had no way of affecting those who had already planned on downloading it, it could only affect those who had planned on buying the game in the first place. Since these people already were going to shell out the cash for the real version...there is no way to 'improve' their status by releasing this. The only potential effect that the release could have on them is showing them that modding your system to play backups/imports is good...because, even if cash isn't an issue, you get to play games weeks before they're released (even if this normally isn't the case...it's the message conveyed to the average gamer who has limited knowledge of mods and the like).

In closing, unless I'm missing something huge, intentionally releasing a game is a bad idea. Granted, someone could argue that it'll get 'Halo 2' on the news...but, unless the game is already huge to begin with (as Halo 2 is), it's not going to get any airtime worth talking about anyway (and, if it is huge enough to get airtime...it doesn't need it...because it's already big news).

Jata.

Mr. Blonde · 10-21-2004, 05:57 PM

I read that there were already 1.5 million pre-orders in the U.S. alone. Thats not counting those that are still planning on preordering within the next few weeks, and just buying the game after it comes out. Thats insane.

I talked today with a reliable source. He didnt have much information given the fact that its underwraps in the company due to some legal issues, however the comment was made that the version on the internet wasnt the final version.

This makes sense, since the game became available to download the day after it was sent to production. Unless they stole the digital tapes on the way to the production facility there is no way its the final version. The earliest that final version of Halo2 could become available for theft would be sometime next week when the first shipments go out.

The likelyhood is that the french version is a beta of some sort. Most of the qualities of the game will hold true in the final version, however there will be notable differences in weapon qualities, and mainly in the multiplayer modes.

Finally, from what i hear so far i hope this is true because the game sounds to be noob friendly, and that will mean halo2 wont have the staying power nor the level of competition of the orginal Halo, which is what kept it popular for so long. Regardless, im ready to throw down with anyone on nubblies on Nov 9th.

I agree, its stupid to release a game on the internet intentionally it does nothing besides provide for possible plot spoilers. Microsoft has a $50 million dollar advertising campaign for halo2 that should start up in about a week and a half. The marketing campaign/publicity for this game is going to be on the level of most major movie releases, the attention generated from a stolen game wont come close to that.

AcTivE · 10-21-2004, 08:22 PM

the game has to be the final version...unless they just made a completely different Halo to put out on the net [img]smile.gif[/img]

i've played it, and there are like 10 multiplayer maps..the campaign has progressed without any stopping...and the game is 4,000mb

Johnny5 · 10-23-2004, 11:57 PM

I've heard that Bungie is very mad indeed, and that they have made arrests already. They've only arrested the main people responsible though, and confiscated some random systems here and there.

Fight Aids, Fight Crime....not Halo.

The theory is this...

To get someone to download it who wouldn't play it originally... get them hooked and encourage them to play the game.

You mean someone would get addicted to Halo? I bet that never happens, ever.

bert · 10-29-2004, 10:26 AM

Fuck Halo 2

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 11-05-2004, 01:58 PM

I read these two articals yesterday:
http://in.tech.yahoo.com/041103/137/2ho4i.html <and> http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3431411

"People who use these systems and think they're anonymous are mistaken," Malcolm said. Asked if he thought sites like Suprnova were illegal, he said: "That's still an issue we're studying, that reasonable minds can disagree on," he said.

It looks like downloaders anonymous at least still have some time still to use bittorrent. The courts would have to give out warrants or whatever for IP addresses to bust you and it doesn't appear the man is pursuing bittorrent right now.

As you can see when you scroll down to Universal studios original e-mail Vivendi Universal does their homework. Guess i won't be buying halflife 2 now(i probably will anyways). AND HERES THE KICKER: the movie i eventually downloaded was in fucking French with no subtitles! well anyways i have to take a fucking copyright quiz tonight or I'm screwed.

Mr. Blonde · 11-05-2004, 11:43 PM

Wow dude...that fuckin sucks...

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2004, 03:13 AM

Any updates, incredibledork?

Anyways, Making the Game on MTV was just on about Halo 2...and I about nutted. I only got to see like the last 15 minutes, but i saw that they were using music from actual bands on the soundtrack (hoobastank, breaking benjamin, and incubus to name a few). Also, they showed a preview from a cutscene at the beginning of the game...all I can say is, in a little over 24 hours, I hope to be back here popping that shit into my Xbox and playing it all night and day so I can fail my test on Tuesday.

Orgazmo · 11-08-2004, 03:29 AM

IGN put up their review tonight. They gave it a 9.8...pretty damn good. Of course, not all games can be 9.9's like San Andreas...

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2004, 01:11 PM

Mind posting a more specific link for GTA's rating, 'Gaz? I could have swore Halo 2 was higher than San Andreas...

11-08-2004, 03:27 PM

Blonde, I'm sure halo 2 will be good and all, but in reality it will be insignificant in complexity and depth of gameplay when compared to San Andreas. Sure halo 2 might have cool guns and sweet graphics, but San Andreas is just brilliant.

I only got to see like the last 15 minutes, but i saw that they were using music from actual bands on the soundtrack (hoobastank, breaking benjamin, and incubus to name a few). Also, they showed a preview from a cutscene at the beginning of the game...all I can say is, in a little over 24 hours, I hope to be back here popping that shit into my Xbox and playing it all night and day so I can fail my test on Tuesday.

DJ FC Guest Posts: n/a	Blonde, I'm sure halo 2 will be good and all, but in reality it will be insignificant in complexity and depth of gameplay when compared to San Andreas. Sure halo 2 might have cool guns and sweet graphics, but San Andreas is just brilliant.
