No game to date can "say good bye to HALO." HALO2 will and DOOM ]|[ might.

Yet another PS2 idiot commercial...

WTF!? PS2 is satisfied with 2 year old PC games...PATHETIC! If Tribes 2 was Sony's "Halo Killer" then that's pretty damn sad if you ask me.

Most Playstation 2 commercials, they only show the cinemas and not the gameplay. I was almost believed the graphics in Kingdom Hearts. I rented the game and the graphics blew.

:D I am laughing my a$$ off right now! Goodbye Halo? Now that's insulting. Guess what Sony... Halo 2 is comming out and Microsoft is thinking about buying your cheap a$$ off! HAHAHAHA!
You know, it would take at least 3 PS2's to actually play Halo with a descent framerate during gameplay. (No Joke) The PS2's days are numbered!
GIVE UP SONY, YOUR ONLY DELAYING THE INEVIDABLE!

What I like even better are the multi platform game commercials. If you watch when they use gameplay footage you can see the small Xbox symbol in the corner most of the time but when the commercial ends they show a giant PS2 box haha. LAME

LAME I wonder if Sony purposely made their logo large just for people wouldn't notice the game being available on Gamecube and Xbox.

Hmmm, Tribe 2 PC = 40+ players, Tribes PS2 = 16 players

Hmmm.......8 player on each team = no fun at all.

Hmmm......In Tribes 2 one large transport holds 7 players and 1 player left to defend base.

Hmmm........ bye,bye to Halo....Me think not.

P.S. LOL nice try Sony.


THERE IS NO POWER GREATER THEN X

I don't understand why on commercials for multi-platform games they seem to always end with "Available now on Playstation 2" with a huge PS2 logo. Then stuffed in the corner with a tiny logo are the Xbox and Gamecube logos.

WTF is up with that?!

That's pathetic. The PS2 is the 8 track player of gaming consoles. Just laugh it off. Pop in your Halo or Splinter Cell with surround sound and have fun.

I think they want to make a "Halo-killer" game but...the FACT is the only thing they can improve is the gameplay. ;)

Fanboys..here...no way (big smile) lol...mmm...i haven't played tribes yet..... everytime i think that first person shooters are dated and running out of idea...they come up with something new. Halo is the king of fps.....it's going to take alot to take that title......The playstation 2 just doesn't have the power...right now

I just love the way Sony showed off that Tribes game with pc generated graphics and only 2 scenes with the really PS2 graphics.:D

WOW.

thats a very cheap marketing campaign. tribe got rated like a 6. something.

that game was not rated well, at all.i dunno i f i want microseof to come back and say MAFIA, say goodbye to grand theft auto....or Sudeki, say goodbye too final fantasy. I dunno. Maybe it's better if they hold up their chin and bring out halo two.

As for tribes, that was never competition for halo, it was supposed to be the unreal championship killer. Even that game is better.

Man, why would playstation stoop so low. Thats like back in the days when sega brought out knights and in their add they threw a Nintendo 64 off a building and said "can this box fly? fly plumber box, fly"

now look at sega.

that whole ad is just depressing......................

There is some pathetic irony going on here...

They act as if the PoS2 had Halo on it...if anything, the just admitted their greatest threat to their console and at the same time set themselves up for near future embarrassment :D

hehe... that game really hasn't become that popular and the tribes franchise is way way way way into deep to ever recover and produce a fan base. I'm sure the game is good though.

Anyway the original developer of the game which was DYNAMIC has broken up and went there own separate ways along time ago.
