It worked like a slide show for me. Even after I dl'ed it to my desktop.
BTW didnt we all know what was in the video its been talked about since x02.

**netranger6** · 09-04-2002

Hmmm....was that Florida getting nuked like that ??? Oh well, just the same. So what's up, is Master Chief doing a free fall to earth or something? Was he fixing to latch on to that ship and open a can of alien whoop ass?? Ohh my, too many questions already....

and a op in irc.dal.net on #xbox.

My opinion is this photage was in game because you can tell from the aliased line, I wasn't suprised but it has been upped alot since version 1. I was very hyped for it! but it let me down I was hoping to see some in game First Person Mode style(I think we all did), but I guess not and see some of the new content added such as vehicles, terrains, aliens etc... I also expected it to be much longer about 10-15 minutes.

This 2:31 trailor for the 2 minutes I would have suggested adding more content into it, but hey we're all time pressed and time=money. This game has a good background to it and it will be as enjoyable as the first one.

My last thought was hmmm... I wasn't too amazed by it nor under amazed. All the hype made the trailer seem like crap.

**MixMasta** · 09-04-2002

that was ok, i wish they would have shown more, and it was choppy for me which made me really mad!

**maximan00** · 09-04-2002

Very nice trailer. I wish there was some gameplay shown..

**Kooster** · 09-04-2002

so master chief is gonna fight on earth...thats gonna be so awesome!! btw, did he like go through that spaceship at the end???

**Dar** · 09-04-2002

What did you honestly expect? The game is over a year off. I'm sure that what you saw won't look much like the final product anyway.

**Guibs** · 09-04-2002

The trailler is great. Lots of jaggies but the game isn't even close to be done and even with the jaggies, it's look like the best thing to ever grace the xbox to date.

The trailer is a teaser, no gameplay element here, although it sure give the initial information we need. Earth is in bad trouble and John 117 (the Master Chef) with Cortana will need to save it. So the setting is on earth and it looks damn good to me. I can't wait to see how earth is being done in the future.

The graphics are incredible like I said (all in game screens by the way, after close examination, it's in game, IN ENGINE trailler, so it's the real thing guys!), the sounds are also perfect and I always been in love with Halo soundtrack (which remind me I need to order that halo sound track about now).

Anyway, the trailler is great (I feel like I am repeating myself) and the only thing I want to do now is play halo 2 so since it's impossible, I'll go back to play Halo, the original one.

As for the chopping performance that some mention, I did get some at first. My previous windows media was in 200% zoom in windows mode. It got choppy and I was missing some scene. So I want back to 100%, normal display and no chopping performance, than I thought it was small and needed to see more details, so I went to Full screen mode, no chopping or bad performance, so I could enjoy the trailler like it was meant to be (full mode require offer better performance since it's taking the most of your ressources to display it unlike windows who share the ressources amoung the different windows open.

P.S.: one more thing, is it me or they change the actor who did Master chief's voice in Halo 2 compare to halo 1 ? Anyway, cortana seems like the same person...

Let me be the first to welcome you.

and a very good first post!!!
I agree with what you say...but you all have to remember... the game is still very early in development.. They just wanted to throw something at us. They didn't have to you know..So feel lucky you seen anything... Did you like what you saw??
