Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today announced a movie-style promotional campaign for the launch of the most anticipated game this year, Halo 2. Beginning today and continuing through August, a Halo 2 theatrical trailer will be shown in more than 1500 Loews Cineplex Entertainment movie screens in the U.S. before many of the hottest films of the summer; including Spider-Man 2, The Village, King Arthur, I Robot, Catwoman and Alien vs. Predator. The trailer sets the stage for Master Chief’s arrival on Earth to stop Covenant forces from destroying all mankind. Halo 2 lands on store shelves on November 9; but gamers can reserve their copy now, as a special limited edition copy of Halo 2 is currently available for pre-order at most retailers.

The cinematic Halo 2 trailer was created by The Ant Farm, the Hollywood company renowned for their work on trailers for blockbuster films such as The Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man 2, Shrek, Kill Bill and the Harry Potter series.

This would be awesome if video game footage didn't look like total crap blown up on the big screen.

Will the Limited Edition reach Europe? I don't want to order the NTSC one knowing I won't be able to play the game or watch the DVD on my Xbox. I hate MS Europe right now :(

Sounds like it is going to just be the old teaser that was released 2 years ago. I guess if it is new they will say so in Bungies update today.

They can render in-engine footage in high resolution, much like the screenshots we are getting of almost every game today.

Like was already said, it will. I just wanted to say that it's available for pre-order even in Finland, so I think you guys should just check your local retailers and be surprised. :)

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed for pre-order in there.

I don't have a Loewes theater within 30 miles (the max search radius on Fandango) so no trailer for me. :(

Frankie, this had better end up online soon.

Media Alert:
Halo 2 Hits the Big Screen This Summer With Cinematic Trailer


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 16, 2004

Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today announced a movie-style promotional campaign for the launch of the most anticipated game this year, Halo 2. Beginning today and continuing through August, a Halo 2 theatrical trailer will be shown in more than 1500 Loews Cineplex Entertainment movie screens in the U.S. before many of the hottest films of the summer; including Spider-Man 2, The Village, King Arthur, I Robot, Catwoman and Alien vs. Predator.

The trailer sets the stage for Master Chief's arrival on Earth to stop Covenant forces from destroying all mankind. Halo 2 lands on store shelves on November 9; but gamers can reserve their copy now, as a special limited edition copy of Halo 2 is currently available for pre-order at most retailers.

The cinematic Halo 2 trailer was created by The Ant Farm, the Hollywood company renowned for their work on trailers for blockbuster films such as The Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man 2, Shrek, Kill Bill and the Harry Potter series.

Pushing the Xbox hardware to its very limits, Halo 2 will expand on everything that made the original game great, plus add a wealth of technological and gameplay advances. Significantly improved graphics, enhanced artificial intelligence (AI), an advanced real-time lighting engine and destructible interactive environments are just a small part of Halo 2’s evolution of design and technology.

Every improvement in Halo 2 is designed to take gameplay to a new level - and in the end, to tell a more compelling story.

Utilizing Xbox Live to redefine online play, Halo 2 delivers superior online multiplayer capabilities. Whether playing with a clan on a new multiplayer map, boarding a friend's Warthog, watching a game replay or checking player stats, Halo 2 will bring the social experience to a higher level via Xbox Live.

Yeah, I searched for tickets first, which took me to Fandango. I just checked on their site proper for theaters, and nothing withing 60 miles, either. :(

You think some would be near Portland....

Is there anyone else who really does not like this, only because they are tired of seeing product advertisements in movie previews now?

This is a product ad for something good, not that stupid goon who does stunts in movies and tells us not to download!

i wanna see this, but i'm not paying for the privilege of being advertised to. and aside from spiderman 2, those movies are total shit. spiderman 2 is only partial shit. i suppose that's summer for you. hopefully bungie puts it up on their website or something.

Figures that in a city with 1.5 million people, there'd be no Loews theaters. WTF is that shit? Anyway, that replay feature is fanfuckingtastic!

>>>This is a product ad for something good, not that stupid goon who does stunts in movies and tells us not to download!<<<

Those ads make me want to yell at the screen, "I just PAID to watch this movie. Fuck you! If I'd downloaded it instead, I wouldn't have had to listen to you, asshole.".
