Now go back to the DVD drive window, double click 'Startup', the main menu should appear for Halo 2 install. After the install, it will run the game other times, go into the game folder and run Halo2. You will also have to install the updates and patches involves restarting the game to take effect , and then also put in your CD key to activate it once in game, the other on Desktop.
There are some issues I have ran into First, the mouse in game play skips and is not smooth. The other, trying to resolve the mouse issue with a Xbox controller as a game pad, but buttons randomly change while in game play ex: zoom suddenly is a start button, weapon swap is melee, etc.
We'll have you up and running faster than you can say "Creeper? Aw man! There are some notable differences between the two versions. Bedrock doesn't have an updated combat system, but it does allow for crossplay with Xbox One and mobile, and has some content that Java doesn't.
Meanwhile Java only allows players to play with other Java players, but has more public servers and a better modding scene. If you're not quite sure which to choose then we advise going for Java, as it included a free copy of Bedrock with it.
First things first, you'll want to mosey on over to the Minecraft website. From here you should be greeted by a large picture of Steve and Alex overlooking a Minecraft world. Upon clicking the button, you now have to make a choice: which version of Minecraft do you want to download?
The options here are computer, mobile, console, and others yes, there are that many versions of Minecraft! The next choice you have to make is which version do you want to download: the Java Edition of Minecraft or the Windows 10 Bedrock version?
If you opted for the Windows 10 game you'll be transported to a version-specific Minecraft page with a 'buy' button. Click 'buy' and you'll then move to the Microsoft Store where you can purchase that version of the game and install it right away.
Note: If it's the Windows 10 version you were after, you're all done now! But we'll get to network play later. At some point in Halo 2, the Covenant's assault on our home planet comes to a close. Just don't expect the end-game credits to roll when it happens. Instead, Master Chief and Cortana will zip deep into the heart of Covenant territory, attacking the source of the enemy's power.
The climactic battle that follows will bring a measure of closure to the Halo saga, something that was missing from the first game. Ultimately, humanity was in the same place as when the game started.
We do know Halo 2 will reveal a lot more about the aliens and the motives behind their intergalactic assault and battery on humanity. Jones says, "or they just came across as the stupid cliche of an alien race that ruthlessly attacks mankind. Nobody knew about their social structure or anything, but I had hoped people would give us credit and realize there's more to the Covenant than what we showed.
We're really expanding on them in Halo 2. There's a whole bunch of the story we still have left to tell, and that's going to be a lot of fun. Some revelations will even come from the original Halo--at least once the sequel shows you what to look for. He's referring to the first game's mysterious little details, such as the scattered symbols on Halo and the funky history lessons from Guilty Spark. Chat with Jason Jones about sequels--any kind of sequels, even the movie variety--and he'll tell you exactly how not to do them.
And that's what you don't want to do. Likewise, we don't want to make a different game. Why eliminate the reasons people played our first game? That's why Bungie isn't fiddling with Halo's fundamentals. Master Chief can still carry only two weapons at a time.
He still possesses superhuman strength. He still has a rechargeable force-field shield and flashlight. His armor has been upgraded this time around, but he's still pretty much the same green guy from the first game. But we'll definitely give him augmentations. He'll have some tools. Bungie didn't clue us in on what those "tools" might be yet, but we did glimpse a few of Chief's enhanced skills see page for a complete rundown. He's can now peer around corners and lean forward over ledges to check out a scene before he dives into it.
He won't be able to shoot or lob grenades, but the enemy A. The Chief's melee attack is beefed-up, too. Time your button presses right and he'll string together a combo of up to three skull-crunching smacks with his gun.
But the Bungie guys are saving most of their tweaks for the Master Chief's alien enemies and marine allies. We're not just talking about their look, although Covenant and marine character models come in a much greater variety this time.
Different types of marines, for example, will haul around their own special backpacks and wear unique body armor. The bigger deal here is the A. We need a bunch of new secrets! What they've settled on is a scheme that makes all computer-controlled characters more flexible in any situation. They'll have a larger variety of behaviors and interact more realistically with each other.
They'll really watch each other's back and coordinate their actions for maximum effect. Such defensive moves won't be part of a pre-planned script--the troopers will actually think to do this. Marines pinned down by enemy fire might call for a Warthog to save their bacon.
Marines will point out a sniper for an ally to grenade. Any of these scenarios can and will happen in Halo 2. Your A. Bungie is building on the first game's marine-conversation system, making it so your fellow soldiers will have more to say to you and each other. Let's rewind to the big shield ship battle at this article's outset for an example. Say that, instead of following the main attack force away from the ship, you mosey up on a hill and stumble upon one of the snipers.
We really want to have that level of detail that you may or may never see. Of course, lifelike brainy marines deserve lifelike brainy opponents, so Bungie has souped up the Covenant's I. You've got guys climbing. You've got guys ducking under objects or jumping over them. The Elite soldiers will be more lithe and leopard-like, jackals will behave more like birds.
Life will be anything but a day at the zoo for Master Chief and his marine allies. Enemies know to switch on their flashlights and hunt for you in darkness.
They'll understand how to fight in low-gravity environments. They'll talk to each other more and most of them will speak English this time and coordinate attacks. As tenacious as the first game's bad guys were, Halo 2's enemies will make you fight even harder for every inch of ground.
Bump mapping--the rendering hocus pocus powering much of Halo 2's advanced new visual vibe--is a magic word with Bungie, because it's letting the team achieve an astonishing level of detail in the sequel's environments and on its characters and objects.
Bump mapping's tech-nerd definition is that it's an Xbox-friendly rendering process that overlays a map of three-dimensional details--treads on a tire, buckles on gear, gouges on body armor--onto a polygonal model's flat skin.
If you think of a 3D model such as a vehicle or character as a simple shape hacked out of wood, then bump mapping is the process of sculpting out all the fine details.
Bungie's artists are sculpting everything with bump maps in Halo 2, and it works beautifully. Just look at the screens and watch the trailer. Everything in the game, including marines, weapons and retouched Halo 1 models, will be sculpted for maximum visual impact. It's much more believable. And the whole point here is that such believability doesn't come at the expense of the game's performance.
The bump mapping helps us make the game look so much better while not demanding anything more of the Xbox. Many Bungie guys we talked to guesstimate that Halo 2's visuals are an order of magnitude better than the first game.
That boost isn't just from the bump mapping's pumped-up detail: Half the pizazz comes from the sequel's advanced new real-time engine for creating light and shadow, which reacts more realistically to bump maps than to ordinary textures.
Watch Master Chief descend in a wire-mesh elevator and you'll see shadows dance around everything in the scene as he passes each floor. When the hangar airlock doors rumble open in the trailer, you see harsh sunlight, reflected from the Earth outside, bathe the scene and wash out weaker light sources. Bungie calls such splashes of overpowering light the "bloom effect. Bungie's artists are creating textures with this new lighting model in mind, whereas in Halo 1 the lighting engine came in fits and starts, and the artists never really got the hang of it.
Now it's letting them achieve the subtlest of details, such as the way every model in the game casts shadows on itself as well as its surroundings. It's so subtle, but it's so cool. You don't really appreciate the sequel's lighting effects until the lights go out completely.
