Halo 2.5 For Xbox 2 Launch
Posted by Carl Lewis on 25.12. at 06:32
Merry Christmas everyone, TeamXbox have provided us with one of the
best Christmas presents us Xbox fans could ask for. Do we believe it or
not? I certainly want to!!
Quote:
OXM was the first to report about Halo 2.5 revealing that the game is
planned as an Xbox 2 launch title but now you're going to read the
very first details, straight from one of our most trusted sources:
"Halo 2.5 will be an Xbox 2 launch title and is going to run in HDTV
resolution with new, improved textures and graphical effects. All the
stuff that people expected from Halo 2 but didn't make the cut will
be there."
Although our source didn't specify which HDTV resolution the game
will run at, HDTV's lower spec is enough to get excited. Can you
imagine Halo 2 running at 1280x720?!!! We also wonder what was meant by
"all the stuff people expected from Halo 2 but didn't make the
cut." With this kind of top-secret info, you don't ask; you simply
listen. We cross our fingers that this will include online co-op, more
multiplayer maps, and the final conclusion to the Halo 2 story.
"The technology that powers Halo 2 has been designed from day one to
take advantage of the next generation hardware," the insider added.
"In Halo 2, the Xbox was pushed to its limits but now the game will
reach new heights with the advanced hardware."
But that is not the only info our insider had for us as soon after he
dropped the bomb:
"Now, here is the twist. Halo 2.5 will come preloaded with the
optional HDD. It'll be one of the two reasons to get the Xbox 2 that
comes with a hard drive. The other reason... well, you'll just have
to wait"
Sounds crazy to us but that's what we have been told. Interestedly,
if this is true, the rumor confirms the existence of, at least, two
editions of the Xbox successor. Last month, we reported about the
supposed Microsoft plan to release three versions of the Xbox
successor. Although never in console history has an add-on sold enough
to represent a large percentage of the install base, the inclusion of
Halo 2.5 would probably sell millions of hard drives and/or other
peripherals that includes this special edition.
This really is amazing news if true. Also if the Halo 2 engine has been
developed with next-gen scalability, does this mean that we'll
definately see Halo 3 on the Xbox 2? I think so! Merry Christmas!
Thanks to TeamXbox and mattm025 for the tip-off.

| Vortex_combaticon/Xenon/NV55/Radeon350/etc., just pick ONE name and
stick with it instead of switching to a new alias every 10 days, okay?
Are you doing the name switching to evade kill filters? If so, consider
that most people who put you in their killfile DON'T want to read the
articles you've ripped off from websites.

Q: Why is top posting a sloppy form of writing?

Especially since this one in particular is one huge pile of horseshit.

You are correct though, Xenon & Vortex are the same poster. You may
want to look into killfiles that block his NNTP Posting Host (basically
the IP he is posting from - 67.163.24.226).
