Halo 2 Gone Gold!

Recommended Posts

Its always good to see news like this.....

It's official; Halo 2 has gone gold and has been sent off to the manufacturing plant to prepare for its release on November 9th. Here's the full story from Bungie.net:

 

"They said it couldn't be done! Actually, they didn't say that, but if they had, we'd have proved them all (the fake people who didn't say anything) wrong! Halo 2 has gone gold. We finished every line of code, every pixel of art, every frame of animation, every phoneme of dialog and every note of music. We finished it when we said we would (when it was done) and shipped that baby right on time to make its November launch date. And we're kinda proud of it. We think it's 'fun.'

 

"'Gone Gold' is a somewhat archaic expression, since the 'gold discs' are actually digital tapes and eventually silver discs. But it certainly feels golden. This basically means that the game has been shipped to retail manufacture. Somewhere in the world, a gigantic DVD pressing factory has started making Xbox game discs with the utterly complete version of Halo 2. Maybe there IS a gold disc somewhere. Perhaps it's time for an epic quest!

 

"We now have retail versions (test samples) here in the office. In fact, one sharp, and presumably jealous-eyed reader saw the following legend appear in his Live-linked MSN Instant Messenger window: 'Anm8erJB is now playing HALO 2 on Xbox Live.' Now THAT'S a tease.

 

"It's been a long, hard road though. When you're playing it, and we hope you enjoy it, think of the 116 hour work weeks, the long nights, the bad food, the really long corridor to the bathroom (people use scooters to get there) and the utter lack of places to curl up and sleep."

Lets hope we get the same news for Half-Life 2 soon.

The first Halo is a great piece of game, just like you I don't want to buy an X-Box just to play Halo 2. I prefer paying games using comp than gaming console.

Halo is a great game. I bet you're gonna be interested in it. I'm nto a big fan of action games, but for Halo I like it the most. Cool game with nice soundtrack but the stage becomes boring in the middle of the story, too much flood to kills and like walking in the same path for hours.

Halo's too slow for me, too much plodding around the huge levels.
i no what you mean, i play it online mostly which is really really fun.

HL > Halo Answer this, how many people still play Halo, its probably a lot less than the # of people who play HL and HL Mods. And HL is OLD

When I was at college doing my higher education there was a guy in my class who donated himself to scientific testing, and he got a lot of money for it too!!! Not suprising really when they were pumping him full of pills and injecting him with "chemical X" all the time..

 

Anyway to cut a long story short it was for Pfizer the company that makes Viagra... despite his age the chemicals and stuff they were putting in him were partially the ingrediants that would be put into the diamond shaped pill.

 

He come into college the day after one of his research tests in a very happy mood, an increased blood circulation, and an increased labido which (as many of the ladies found) was rather visibly evident...

 

Anyway he got sent home embarrased that day since the teachers at the college found that he was walking around somewhat ahead of himself than normal :lol: :roll:
