Halo 2 Takes Big Screen by Storm
Trailers for possibly the biggest game of the year to begin screening today and throughout August.
Microsoft has announced that Halo 2 will be hitting the big screen today and throughout August, to promote the release of the game on November 9th (US) and 11th (UK).
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.
Halo 2 promises to expand on everything that made the original game great, plus add a wealth of technological and gameplay advances.
We hope to be able to show you the theatrical trailer for the game shortly. In the meantime, check here for our existing Halo 2 video coverage...
