Many people think there will be animals in Halo 2.Bungie almost put them in the first game.According to the weekly update(I think I saw it in the weekly update)there is a "NO SWIMMING, SHARKS." sing at Zanzibar. Do you think there will be actual sharks that attack you? Or maybe as an Easter Egg?

I've seen some of the creatures they were going to out on the Halo... and oddly enough they were very much like dinosaurs. Possibly kept on the Halos in case they ever had to activate the pulse.

Personally, I think the Halos were meant to be like giant Noah's Arks. Each on responsible for it's own sector.

The Halo Companion DVD is awesome. They even show you the Covenant Shadow in-game trailer thought they don't really use it.

Apostraphes generally show ownership.
Mike's towel, Jesse's shoes.
They do not show pluralization.
Sharks.

On topic, there wil probaby be a little more wildlife this time around. I want birds on an outdoor level so I can go hunting. lol
I tried to find the birds on Halo for an hour one day...

Fencr, I don't know what the hell you're talking about cause you never use damn periods. Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing some birds or something, but this is some weird ring, not a planet that developed life on it's own. Maybe put birds and stuff on the Earth levels, that would be fun. I can see it now:

As a Grunt sits on a park bench, throwing out birdseed, with all of his little covie friends, I stick a grenade to a bird. It swoops down to get a snack, and then blows all the Grunts to bits.

To all of you who dont know, the shadow will be in Halo 2. There is a sketch of it in the Halo 2 Sketch thing, and in the Bungie documentary "The Evolution of Halo" (some name like that), they mentioned that most of Bungie felt bad cutting the vehicle (too strong, cause it has like 2 seats and 3 turrets, or 5 seats and 1 turret, something like that).

Ambient life is a great idea, albiet i think sharks will not be included... yea, just like the god damned batteries.

If a sign at Zanzibar read NO SWIMMING SHARKS... they were probably refering to the fact that Africa (especially South Africa) is known for having dangerous water... due to sharks.

In conclusion, i think they included this to give a human element, and to try and be accurate with the ways of the Earth.

It would be cool to have some type of animals in the game that are there for astetices. They were originally in the first game, but had to be cut due to time restraints. Since its takin so damn long to finish the second game, they mind as well put some in this time around. Since its gonna be on earth, there could be wildlife thats similar to animals of the present, or maybe some deformed animals. I dont really care if theres sharks, but maybe fish would be cool for a realistic element.

I don't really care about fish... although, after playing a game like Far Cry I almost shat myself. The water looked so damn real i wanted to drink it... or pee in it, but whatever, you get the point... the water was tits, and the minnows looked pretty cool.

In conclusion, [color=red]ambient life=cool[/color]... to a degree (i.e. if they had birds flying over head, or something of that nature) [color=red]crazy forms of life=-blam!-[/color]... aka if they have dinosaurs and $hit the game will eat donkey dodes' for continental breakfast.

Cool but how many animals do you know that would stick around during nuclear war insects rats mice squirrels crows ciccadas. IM from VA and there are trillions of those ciccadas here every 17 years 2 trillion.
