#Microsoft #Xbox - Hry
That E3 demo was the most hype shit ive ever experienced, then lining up for the midnight release, hard to top that. Good memories
Walking into EB Games and Gamestop all decked out in Halo 2 and thousands of copies leaving the store. It was everywhere! It was a great feeling and great time. I can still smell my buddy’s house going down to the basement to fire up Halo 2 for the first time. Halo 2 and Halo 3 are still the greatest video game launches of all time and I don’t think we’ll ever get that again.
It was the only midnight release I ever did, took the day off work as well 😅
I got the the "metal" Arbiter edition at the midnight launch and yes it was hype af
@@vermiform I had the metal case also, until it went rusty
Wish i could of been born earlier to join you mate, did midnight launch for Reach and Halo 4. I dont think ill ever feel the same way i did about 3 back in 2008-2012
I was a PS2 fella so I didn't get to experience Halo until the 360 days. I miss Microsoft from back then.
I’ve always been a PlayStation guy for the most part(I do own a Series-S though), but the Xbox 360 was easily better than PS at the time. Pretty much every game that released on both consoles ran way better on the 360. I always bought a game on the 360 over PS 95% of the time.
@@TheABElia Original Xbox and the 360 were both good. I wouldn't say better than Playstation but they put up a good fight, especially the 360.
The other 2 however... 😅
@@Manic_Panic The original Xbox was better than the PS2. It didn't have the most game but every third part games ran better and look better. At the time the original Xbox was competing with PC, it just wasn't the most popular console. Digital foundry retro also have a couple original Xbox vs PC comparison with splinter cell , half life etc..
Specs-wise, Series X is more powerful, and 2 of the 4 exclusives (yes, exclusives, the rest of the system's games are third-party) it has actually lives up to it (even if Starfield can be enjoyed in spite of that), but with many XBOX games releasing cross-platform with their Windows equivalents, it's evident that Microsoft (and SONY, to an extent) has been slowly moving XBOX out of the console game and demoting it to a third-party studio. Now, if we're talking Minecraft, DOOM, or Call of Duty, that's fine, because those franchises are cross-platform to begin with (all of them starting off as PC games and working their way up from there), but Starfield and Hi-Fi Rush are new franchises for XBOX, and the first IPs Bethesda made since their acquisition by, you guessed it, Microsoft, and Halo is XBOX's flagship franchise, so having these games go on other platforms removes the system's agency in the grand scheme of the Console Wars.@@Manic_Panic
Gamecube and Xbox were the superior console
Think you'll ever give us a tour of your room?
While this is impressive in its own way, playing The Master Chief collection at 720p and 60fps on the portable Steam Deck is what really makes me feel like technology has come a long way. Especially considering it has online cross play with my Xbox friends!
The games have aged like ass who cares.
One cool trivia about that E3 event that I remember some of the OG devs talked about not too long ago was that the demo was buggy as fuck and the path it was following plus everything that happened was very strict because otherwise it was just going to crash and I think they also mentioned that the xbox they used for it was actually overclocked way up and had much more RAM just to be stable in the showcase. I'm glad everything went buttery smooth and while I didn't get to live that, its always wholesome seeing so many OG Halo fans talking about it
Still never understood why Microsoft didn't make an Xbox 360 version of Halo 2 as a 360 launch title in 2005. That would've been a total system seller with a game that was already complete. All they would have done was put in a 1080p and 720p mode and allowed you to play on Xbox Live against people with the Original Xbox Halo 2 version.
It was backwards compatible and playable online.
@@S3r3nityNowhalo 2 multiplayer worked on the Xbox 360?? That’s cool
Xbox peaked with HALO 2 & ODST. Died with One.
Haven't watched a video this soon after publication in a while. Cool vid bro. Keep em comin
Feels good to be an og Xbox fan rn I literally just soft modded it and put a new HDD in
The OG Xbox just keeps going, soft mod turns it into a whole new system just about.
I would love to see an original Xbox overclocked on other great games to push better performance and picture for titles like 007 Agent Under Fire, Nightfire & Everything or Nothing, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (Director’s Cut), Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1 & 2, Silent Hill 2 & 4, DOAX, SSX Tricky, etc.
And one of the best looking games on Xbox Escape from Butcher Bay
it would genuinely be so damn cool if there was a RAM upgrade modification for PS2. bring Gran Turismo 3 and 4 up to their full potential on official hardware lol
😎 Tech Wave 🌊 is back! 🎉
I wish he’d make more tech videos, he used to do a bunch of
You used to do game pick ups. You should occasionally do one.
This is the new game pick up
Great vid Spawn. Your Xbox vids are my fav to watch on here.
Thanks, I wanted to do more down the line. There are a bunch of OG Xbox games that got 720p patches that are not available anywhere else, might look into that for the next one.
As soon as I got the 3 ring of death on my 360 I missed my ugly box. I fell on it and it still works and I'm fat as hell.
Go to the gym
@@railasvuo kid I'm over 40 years old, my joints are eat up with arthritis, and I have snapped my tendons from when I was younger playing sports, so that's not going to happen.
I wish I had the free time to do stuff like this
suck for you
With you briefly touching on MCC as a way to play Halo 2. The biggest reason people use insignia whether through an OG Xbox or Xemu, is it gets everyone more or less on the same playing field. If you prefer playing Halo with a controller, matching into someone on MCC on pc who uses MnK may as well be Mint Blitz compared to you.
I've been playing Halo 2 online with my OG Xbox and man it really is surprising just how damn good it looks/runs. From the matchmaking, to the visuals and physics/gameplay, it was such a cut above anything else I can remember for a console shooter
Damn this brings back so many memories ….🎉
Great video, one small correction IDE cable is eighty wire not eighty pin. The extra forty wires are connected to ground to reduce wire cross-talk.
Love the og Xbox. I have 3 of them. Two soft modded and one hard. They are emulation beast. This looks interesting. Pretty cool the Xbox still getting love.
I absolutely love the support the sixth gen consoles are getting in the modding community.
Halo fans they are like apple fans, they are so happy with so little😂😂😂😂😂
Don't lump us OG Halo fans with the 343 Halo fans, bud.
Helldivers 2 obliterated any engagement I had with Infinite. I’ve been playing on my ps5 so much that I unsubbed from gamepass. If Microsoft can’t make Halo great again they will never get to where they want to be.
Halo fan here and i hate 343 they ruined my childhood 😢
I recently got an original Xbox and the HDMI adapter. Just got Insignia as well, and love going back to play the original Halo 2.
I think I’ll wait until version 1.5, but even at 480p this seems like it’ll be an improvement.
Speaking of Halo, Eldewrito 0.7 came out yesterday.
Should be called Sniper Jackel C*nts HD. I wish I could unlock the HD resolutions on my Xbox(PAL region, video game industry hates us!).
Yeah the difficulty spike always stunk in H2
Considering there's the Halo: The Master Chief Collection, something like this is not really worth the effort.
Spawnwave: Using to say that perfomance is better then grapics
Also Spawnwave: increasing the resolution of an 480p Game to 720p, just out of curiosity (which runs poorly perfomancewise even with overclocking)
And now everyone wonders why the Industry focus so hard on resolutions and graphics, because "the game run smooth 60fps" don't sell if the Game looks like last gen. Thats why we still have Games with 30fps even if the Standard should be 60fps by now.
yo, would you recommend playing it on a rgh 360? i have mine set up with it but haven't tried it yet.
love the video btw
Nothing beats a modded XBOX and an RGH 360. Bar none. Want to argue me? Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
back when Halo was good
You gotta get you're Xbox connected to Insignia. Playing Halo 2 matchmaking again is fun.
Very cool. I might have to try this out.
Would be cool if you had compared it to the Master Chief Collection.
I though you where going to talk about and show the 1080i stuff
I actually have a 128MB Xbox and haven't played Halo 2 yet, so I'll definitely be checking that out... Except I'll probably wait till it gets patched for v1.5 so I can play online too.
Would be really cool to see a 60FPS patch for Halo 2 on Xbox, especially if you have one of those modded Xbox systems with an upgraded CPU.
480p is HD? In 2024 i call that SD..
This is pretty cool but it's easier for most people to just play Halo 2 on the base Xbox One where you can play it at 1080p 60fps or 4K 60fps on an Xbox One X and OHHH 4K 120fps on Xbox Series X!
That's what I was thinking. I have a One S, a One X and a Series X and all the Halos run on those consoles. Does this patch do something extra?
I just checked, I have Halo Combat Anniversary, H3, H3 ODST, H4, H5, H wars, H reach and Master Chief. No H2. I guess H2 is a component of MCC?
Tho, to be fair, for the most part that's not really the point for folks that mod these old system. It just cool to see a game to run much better in its original hardware with enhancements.
Problem is MCC H2 sucks because of hackers
What happens if you upgrade the ram on an NES or a Sega Genesis sound chip?
What a fun video. Thanks Mr. Spawnwave.
I'd definitely buy a old Xbox modded with 128 ram however for me racing games would have to be significantly improved maybe the original forza motorsport or nfs classics midnight club etc but if that was possible I'd so buy 1
Would love to see these patches revive some of the Xbox Catalog most affected by poor FPS. Unreal Championship would be incredible with boosted fps and quality
Hey do you repair the OG XBOX that has already been modified
Wish they had something like this for JSRF
I can’t reccomend these Xbox mods enough.
Yeah the AI being able to drive around was definitely a big deal then and getting the dual wielding on Halo was a nice change from the first but even GoldenEye back on the 64 had dual wielding although now that I think about it I'm not sure about the dual wielding of different weapons which definitely was a bigger bonus If played right
Halo was more organic in the balance of dual welding- you'd drop the gun to remove it.
The holy Trinity of shooters in the N64 era: goldeneye, turok 2 and perfect dark all had you carrying all weapons like it was equipment- turok 2 even had lore for it- the Satchel he carried gave him the ability to carry tons of requirement.....
Not even Zelda explained away how link could carry all his gear....
I had rumors of this I didn't even know it was complete. It's crazy what people do on the console this guy sent me a wide-screen patch for PSO these people are heros
I wonder if some of this can be transferred to the emulator on the Xbox360 so that we can see the improvements playing it on a modded 360
Does anyone know were to buy one of these fully modded Xbox?
Just fun to see halo 2 being played
Original Xbox is still a beast. My favourite system these days for all games from early 2000’s.
Same. It’s all I’m playing at the moment.
Let me guess texture pack 60hz update that we’ve had for awhile now.
Black mesa is awesome.
How's the GameCube collection coming along
Does anyone know if you can play the original Xbox Halo Combat Evolved & Halo 2 on a Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X & Xbox Series X(all I own) vs doing this.
There is just something I love about the original textures, graphics & lighting. Playing the Xbox 360 Halo Anniversary Edition just wasn't the same as playing Halo CE on the original hardware.
Info & thoughts greatly appreciated. 😁😆
I dont think the original halo ce or 2 runs on the One or Series consoles. I have a One S, X and Series X. Only Anniversary, 3, 3 ODST, 4 and the other 360 halo games. Probably never ported them because of MCC. Halo 2 Anniversary is part of MCC.
@mpholicx2 Thanks for the answer. I was hoping they were. My original Xbox & 360 are in storage. I have MCC but haven't really played it since it came out with all the bugs/glitches & constant updates.
So that made me think why not just play the originals on the newer systems.
I guess I'll get all that out of storage. I might do this trick on Halo 2 & see how it looks & feels to play!
The 360 markplace is abandoning us in June.😿
July*
You have a 1.6 right?
Halo 2 and 3 are goated in the fps pantheon
I thought they were a bit overrated back then but I played them in 2019 on MCC
I can see why they were so loved. Same with FF7 and i can't stand JRPGs.
Halo 2's super crammed development schedule makes it even more impressive. They had to cut levels out of the game to get it out the door in time for Microsoft's executives demands.
I know this is a pipe dream, but could you imagine something like this for the early HD consoles like 360/PS3? Maybe finally get rid of that disgusting screentearing in some games.
Pretty cool
This is insane
now go play that halo 2 online again with insignia
…I know what the Xbox likes
The original Xbox breaks I’m done with it I have 8 of them 3 of them that broke I gave away to someone who knows how to repair them they said it depends what games your playing on it that can break it I believe that cause even the PS2 broke I have a feeling it’s games like marvel Vs capcom 2 that broke the console
Xbox goes hard
I softmodded my halo 2 in the hay days, they has tons of guns mods, levels and additions for multiplayer still puts the base game to shame, some were pretty bad tho
your not wrong about the crowd haha thats awesome 9:29
Why mod the original XBox instead of the 360? Just wondering cause the 360 is newer... RROD?
Because some just like to tinker with original hardware
It's easier to tinker with the original xbox. Tinkering with the 360 is harder.
now you gotta update the cpu :P
Hope someone ports this to Xbox 360 at some point.
Holy cow an HD game on original xbox???
720p and 1080i were always a thing for original xbox with component on certain games
Even Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 could hit HD resolution with the right connection
6th Gen man craziest leap we took for granted
You should check out insignia!!!!
I don't really want to be "that guy" but why not just get MCC?
Because MCC isn't as organic and the online experience became botched.
can you please fix my error 16 og xbox from my childhood?
What's the point though? Halo 2 looks great in Master Chief Collection and runs like butter unlike og one.
Doesn't run as well as you think.
Online also got runined
@@Matanumi How did it get ruined?
Looks like a 360 game verry impressive
the GOAT
I still like the original Halo better, Halo 2 just wasn’t as interesting, the multiplayer was stellar for sure but the campaign & bland level design wasn’t as memorable.
with all these moded consoles there less and less og system left unmodified
What's the adapter in the controller port on the thumbnail?
Going from Halo 1 to Halo 2 on the same system was probably the biggest upgrade this game industry has ever seen. We don't even see upgrades like that with newer systems anymore, every game today still looks the same as every game last gen, developers just don't put in the effort anymore.
we have been de sensitized to HD graphics
I wouldn't say that. Halo 2 looked better, but it came at a big cost. Environments were much smaller in Halo 2, which is especially noticeable when driving a vehicle. And the physics were not nearly as fun to play with. Halo 2 had much better storytelling, but as far as environment and gameplay, Halo was the superior game.
Also, I'd argue that the biggest upgrade on the same system was Halo 3 to Halo 4 on the Xbox 360.
@@G360LIVEthat’s bollocks. Halo 2s gameplay is better there’s barely any slowdown compared to ce. And halo 4 may look nice but the game is garbage.
@@G360LIVE H2 had the online infrastructure built-in to the game.
But shit CE was more fun. Silly and still the best BTB maps and experience the series has to date
Nice
Port this HD version onto the Switch.
Edit: I also have a PS5 and Series X but lmao man y’all some triggered cry babies over the Switch and ports and it’s underpowered glory.
MCC on switch would be goated.
why don’t you do it then?
I'd buy Halo on Switch. Portable Halo would be dope
Not everything needs to be on that garbage system.
@@KipC-Sway already possible on all the handheld PCs.
"Playstation > Galo - Chad Warden"
I mean it’s cool but why don’t you just play master chief collection seems kind of like a waste of time
That was fun in the days. Whenever I pick it up I put it down a few minutes later. Too old.
The multiplayer is definitely not too old. It's still extremely good.
@@randybobandy9828 you are playing at what fps?
hi Spawn Wave
Why do this when the master chef collection exists
Because MCC isn't the same
@@Matanumi Why isn't it the same?
I recommend Computer Booter on CZcams, he is in California, and ACE Console Repairs in Australia, also on CZcams for any Xbox upgrades.
There is another guy called Andr0 who also does it, he's the OG Xbox expert out of the 3 I have seen.

Soldering? 🙉🙈I'm out 🫠
Wouldn't be surprised if the xbox can just run xbox 360 games
The Xbox is WAYYY weaker than the Xbox 360. Maybe it could launch some Xbox 360 games but that’s a stretch
Wow lol
Finally no ugly thumb on the thumbnail!
5 views in 1 minute bro fell off😂 in all seriousness though I love your videos lmao
Is this really that ridiculous? It doesn’t seem that great
Hold X To Trick 🫡
This is pretty cool but it's easier for most people to just play Halo 2 on the Xbox One where you can play it at 1080p 60fps on Xbox One or 4K 60fps on an Xbox One X and OHHH 4K 120fps on Xbox Series X!
its NOT the original Halo 2, its the Master Chief Collection version. not the same game at all.
master chief collection looks like a 360 game and plays worse
@@poopedcheetah2 well duh all the games from the Halo Master Chief Collection are ported from the Xbox 360 genius, except for Halo 2 Anniversary in the remastered graphics mode, those are actual early Xbox One graphics and still hold up, but all the games in the collection run at 4K at 120fps on the Xbox Series X much better than the Xbox 360 could've dreamed of.
