That was the E3 demo... That was also the entire halo 2 game at the time. They literally had nothing to show, so they put that together as quick as possible to have a realtime demo in E3. They hadn't even had much of a storyline, or the maps they will be creating. It was halo 2, and like many games previews, was just a concept. That part wasn't in the game because they chose to leave it it. They decided to create that other similar earth level to better fit the storyline. Halo 2 was so short because they ran out of time. My guess is so they can start to develope H3 as a launch title.

Rumor has it that the xbox 2 will be released in november 2005. Why? Though inside sources could not state any information about the games or their titles, many xbox 2 titles have a november 2005 release date. That may be a hint, or just an unofficial date set by publishers.

Halo 2 will not likely be an xbox title. If xbox 2 is coming november, then it for sure will be out for xbox 2. If not, then they will take advantage of the time. I doubt they will release a very popular game at the very end of a consoles life, rather than using it to boost sale in the xbox 2.

If the xbox 2 works with xbox games, then there might be a slim chance as an xbox title.

I know for almost a dead fact that halo 3 will be for xbox 2. First thing is that it's already in development, it began the moment halo 2 was done. Second off that's why the story was so quickly cut in half in halo 2 as well, they wanted people to be screaming for the next chapter...what better way to make your money than bundle it up as a launch title and even if it isn't a release title for Xbox 2 it would definitely be a contender with any game Sony could throw out there for PS3.

Yea and from what I hear it wasn't a follow up people were screaming about. It was the crappy ending they were screaming about. I haven't even finished the game but I've lost all will because of all the disappointed good hearted - red blooded - spending most of your paycheck on - die hard gamer - anticipating the game for most of this lifetime - halo fans.

It's time for tea! Cherio.. Bob Saget Rules. Paul Walker is an alien. Emilio Estevez shot JFK.

Halo 2 was never finished. They cut the game short to make the Nov. launch date. Call it Halo 2.5 or Halo 3, It will most likely be a launch title with X2 since the original Halo is the only thing that kept the Xbox alive you can only assume the same with the X2.

it can only be a contender in the fps market. Comparing gta:sa or the FF series would not make sense.

Well a feather in the cap is a feather in a cap. I personally think Sony has the upper hand with titles like GTA and Final Fantasy in their stable and Microsoft needs comparible titles in each of those genres. They're hot selling and established games that will bring in revenue for Sony and I'm just comparing Halo 3 the same way. Personally I like the xbox but I play my ps2 a whole lot more.

I like the old worldmap rpg's. It gave the sense of explorations and more sidequests. I hated it when the FF series stopped. I am however re-discovering snes and unplayed ps1 rpg's though.
