So, last month we reported the OXM rumor about Halo 2's "Mjolnir Mix" getting into Guitar Hero II for the 360. Well, GameTrailers user moistpjs (heh) made a video from the PS2 version of the game that gives an interesting take on how it would play. Due to our newbian skills, however, we can't figure out if we can embed User made content from Gametrailers, or how he made it all happen. Either it was some very impressive editing skills, or most likely, he haxx0red the song into the game on his PS2 and set the note structure to the music. Whatever way he managed to pull it off, it's a job very well done on his part and we hope to see something official from RedOctane that follows suit in the form of downloadable content off of Xbox Live Marketplace. What did you think of the video? Would you play that song on your 360 version of GHII in a heartbeat?

There's a process for hacking songs into the PS2 version of the game. Basically you replace the midi file that controls the note schedule, and the audio for the song itself with what you want, then select that song that you copied your files on top of. For instance some people choose their least favorite song (usually "Yes We Can" in the bonus section) and just select that, and out comes their tune and note pattern. You can search Youtube for instance, and search for "Guitar Hero 2 Tool" to see Aenima hacked into a PS2 GH2 edition.
This specific video, however, shows a note pattern created for GH2 for the song, but the audio has been dubbed over it. How do I know?
*) Mistakes do not have the bumps or screeches in them.
*) No crowd noise when he switches between levels on the Rock-O-Meter.
*) The long notes persist even when he misses them.
Did he hack in Mjolnir Mix? Yes. Well, the note pattenr at least. Is that an unedited video of him playing it? Nope.

I hope they do put this song out. I'd pay for it. It's friggin awesome! X360F should start a petition to get it added to the game!

hey, the video and song chart weren't made by that "moistpjs", that guy is just stealing all my credit. I made the note chart and the video. It was played on a modded ps2, and there was no true editing to the video. all that was done is the captions at the beginning.
