Halo CE Promotional Ad Video #1

The first of hopefully many Halo CE ad videos
The goal of these videos are to get as many people as possible to switch to CE. The best way to do this? Target you, the community. Please talk to anyone and everyone you can about switching to CE. Not only is it easy, but it's plain smarter anyway.
-Better netcode (less lag issues)
-Fastshader system
-the f3 function! (see players names above their heads)
and more.
If you want to help, spread the word (clans are a great start, anyone who runs a dedicated server too.) Spread these video links around and so fourth. If you'd like to really push for this then join us on IRC at irc.shadowfire.org at #ceads. With your help we can do this! :)

There should be an ad that goes:

"HaloCE is the same as HaloPC. Only better."

Or how about an ad that says "HaloCE is like HaloPC only it kicks HaloPC in the balls", either that or show them a vid of New Mombasa........and then kick them in the balls. Yay. Ill spread the word anyway I can.

i am already on halo CE bit i have a question, what is this new f feature you mention, you say its the players names above their heads but i see none, do i have to push f3 or somthin?

and by the way, you should make an ad that goes "dont do drugs, do halo CE" or "finding it hard t draw up a new map of the world? 'shows guy drawing map bored oitta his mind' why dont you make one for halo CE!" then it has all these quick acton shots.

oO

Exactly what I was gonna say. Not only make banner ads for CE, but link them to the CE ad movies. Flash banners that point out some of the advantages of CE, as well as maybe some screenshots from some of the nicer newer maps, or some shots of maps in progress with the HEK. Banners could also be used in sigs on forums that are predominantly PC.

I'll see if I can't get something together in flash, but I think the whole advertising CE is a great idea.

I have been going into halopc servers asking people "Who wants2play new maps?Halo2 maps perhaps?" then tell them halo2 wont come out for pc but that with halo custom edition copies are being made. Let them ad your email adres temporary and give them a download link (not more or you will get sick of the questions you will get). Maybe upload new mombasa or cliffhanger/quagmire to them will make them STAY with halo custom edition.

Important things:
-they dont need a new cd-key, they can play both on the same pc
-they can play halo2 with it and otherwise not if they dont own an xbox
-anyone can get custom edition free

I have converted 63 as of now so good luck this really works go into 16 player servers telling people this and give them download links.
