Only a spoiler if you didn't check out the MP videos that DeceptaconS linked to in his spoiler post above.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
was it just me or did the video named "foundation" look a lot like a Marathon MP map? It has the central room, four smaller spawn rooms at each upstairs corner and a wide open central area. I can't remember the name of it, but it was a fun map.

Foundation looked like Wizard from Halo 1, just a LOT BIGGER and with back rooms. The steam vents are awesome though. And i must say, i am loving the death sequences. Watch the Headlong video. The Elite slowly tumbling off of the ledge after he died? SWEET!

OMG the weapons kick ass! I find the interactive surrounding interesting too. Did you notice the endgame screens? Team kills, personal kills, a who-killed-who-how-many-times, shot percentage and head shot count, even medals earned! I am hearing a seeing a UT engine here though.... a little disappointed by that - was hoping for a bit more originality - not that it's bad at all though!!!
I had to see the MP spoilers - My buddies and I are having an all day HALO 2 MP battle after we get our games at midnight on monday....
And I want the edge lol

I hope you realise those MP clips are from the leaked copy and that you could get busted for posting those...
do Bungie a favor and remove that link, Bungie has done so much for us! espcialy after years of keeping everything a "secrete" so that we might injoy it more.
Don't tempt us...

I don't think it's from the leaked copy, I'd bet that it's from the BETA testing that was kept with in Microsoft. Either way, you raise a valid point. Perhaps the link should be removed.
And yes, the weapons were awesome.

I just realized they must be from the leaked copy.
You see the guy purposely cancel the Xbox Live sign-in to pick System Link instead...
they should be removed.

On top of it -you see on boot up the XBOX has an Xecuter mod chip in it - and uses hard drive stored games for play... BOOO!!! shame on you! Although I am morally and ethically against this sort of thing - I have to admit - I downloaded every single movie to check it out! LOL Hypocritical of me don't you think?

Well I'm sorry... I thought the videos were awesome. They got me even more Hype than I was before.
I even put a spoiler Tag and Do not click here!!?!?!
Come on guys... The game is like less than 9 days away. Before you know it, I will Own your pitiful Arse on Halo2. Practice makes Perfect. I think Bungie should have released more footage. Than keep it so Secret.
Don't get mad at me Cuz I'm going to Austin for the Live Combat Training. However, This may or may not be an early chance to play Halo2. It might be something else.... so I'm prepared to be disapointed.
I will consider removing the link..... But Dude.... come on!?!?
You have to admit those videos are awesome... Did it not get you Hype!?!
I showed all my friends the footage and now they are going out and buying Xbox's. That link is more like free advertisement in my opinion.

The link is clearly from a non-legit copy of Halo2. And you all should know that Bungie fans believe that punishing even minor transgressions with shockingly excessive force is the best deterrent. Even if it's just a video of a pirated copy.
The videos are cool though. Make your decisions accordingly.

DeceptaconS, All your links are belong to us.
PiracySPLAT microsoft.com
It's a $100,000 fine for downloaded the the leaked version AND for posting movies taken from the leaked version.
Remove it before someone reports you. Otherwise you might have more than Halo 2 waiting for you when you get to Austin.

yeah, it's not about the cool movies, it's about the fact that it's promoting piracy, and it's linking to non-legitimate means - ie advertising that isn't intended, and from an illegal source... there's simply nothing right about the situation...
but you're still cool for linking me in your sig

For those who watched it, it was cool to see.
Did it make me want to download an illegal copy? No.
Did I get more hyped about it? Yes.
Do I wish that Bungie had released more MP info? Yes.
Will I wait till Nov 9? Yes.
Is the forum community all good? Yes. Now life can go back to normal as the audio files come rolling in.
