ARRGGGHH I HATE STUPID IGN.....I went there because they have the video for halo 2 from the 2003 E3 but I'm not a member and I'm NOT gonna pay $5.00 to join just so I can see 1 stinking trailer...If anyone here has an IGN account can you download the movie and upload it to a server so the rest of us can enjoy it too? If not does anybody know anyone who also has the 2003 E3 trailer?
 
spend the $5 on the new Xbox mag.

Oh, and since E3 doesnt start until tommarow, i dont think anyone has the 2003 trailer yet:)
 
It's the Press Conference Demo of an entire level that IGN has, and it rocks beyond anything I imagined Halo 2 could be. It's almost like they took Halo and Medal of Honor and combined the 2 games. (Huge city battle, lot's of troops.)
The crowd roared several times, the first of which being the zoom in feature on the auto-rifle, the second time being when Master Chief pulled out twin submachine guns, and the biggest cheer is when the master chief jumped onto a moving banshee and pulled the driver off, taking it's place. All of it was in game footage except for a short cutscene at the beginning and end (also in game footage, but non-interactive.)
There was also a very cool segment on a warthog which was equipped with a rocket launcher instead of a machine gun (PC Halo will also have that.)
This is the first Xbox game that I actually am anticipating, especially after seeing how amaing it looks. :)
I wish I could help you out, but I'm sure it will appear on fileplanet or Kazaa. (Gamespot has it too)

Edit:
Gamespot's is better quality video and audio, but lacks the cheering of the crowd which really adds quite a bit to the experience.

So there is actually something else other than Master Chief jumping out of the ship?

8 minutes worth of the craziest action sequence you've ever seen is all. ;) I don't know if it's the first level, but it's pretty much an entire level sequence.

An entire level in 8 minutes? Did they stop to shoot at anything or just run like hell through the level?

Look at it as a Demo Level, it has the intro sequence, some excellent action, and ends on a cliffhanger ;)
 
I tried gamespot but my free membership isnt good enought to get me to the trailer. If anyone who has a membership to IGN or Gamespot and can get me the link to the actual video file FOR EXAMPLE(http://xboxmovies.ign.com/xbox/video/halo2demo_051203_1.mov) then I have a program that can take it off of their server withought signing up and save it to my HD....All I need is the link.....then I can upload it to my website so EVERYONE can watch it for FREE!!!! so can anyone help me?
 
:eek: Halo 2...
Since it's the greatest game ever, of course it's not that simple to get your hands on some golden info, or the new 8 minute trailer, possibly the most stimulating video of our time.

Now, did i hear someone say something about buying a mag that already had a demo disk in it with that NEW Trailer in it. Please let me...let everyone know.

:eek: I'm sorry, but there was a huge wait at File Planet, about 25 minutes worth of a wait. But ohhhhh yah, i waited. It was the best 8 minutes in front of the computer ev... well it was good.

Vote Yes cause Halo 2 kicks A$$.


-what about that Brute jumping on front of the warthog, scary.

It was awsome but I wish they had a better feed...even though it was kinda dark it was one of the best trailers I've seen in a while..... but the end leaves you wanting more
 
:odd:


I'll tell yah though, It seriously blows my mind how the marines are able to, basically, live thier own lives. Like, the way they think for themselves is crazy. And for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, start buying some mags, cause new and exlusive info is always in the mags.

Can't wait for some good ol' snipin' in the cities.

I found it on Kazaa.

halo 2 8 min demo e3 2003.mov
89.5 MB (93,872,683 bytes)

Just make sure it's the whole thing before you waste time downloading.
 
just downloaded that demo from file planet.....wow, just a shame we have to wait till next year!!

that out door level looks amazing...huge!!!!

can't wait, oh and that other little game about the same time GT4.
 
I thought it was amazing when I saw it in the E3 videos, and left my jaw open.
Then I saw Halflife 2 running in the ATI booth which dislocated it completely. Now that is an amazing looking game....
 
There's a new direct feed version of the trailer available now from Microsoft (through Fileplanet, Ign, Gamespot etc etc.) that features 5.1 digital sound.
In all honesty, I didn't see anything that was new from the E3 demo, as the video quality was wmv and not that much better than the originals. (plus it lacks the cheering crowd. :()
 
Yeah..I downloaded it..from somewhere for free..Was pretty coo..With the brutes and phantoms...And the cannon warthogs and the Crazy mexican guy who escorts you through the battle..Lol
 
I have downloaded the demo file from the link above and ........................ nothing.

Windows media player says the file has not been properly signed and / or it doesn't have the correct codec's.

Any ideas guys

I am desperate to see the footage HELP
 
I saw the Halo 2 clip on X Play and it looks great. I might have to go out and actually buy myself a X Box when the game is available.:D
 
Nope the one i downloaded from Fileplanet is definitely a Windos media file.

Anyone got any alternative sites I can try ?

Thanks in anticipation

:(
