1-Will Master Chief's Visor be Enviromental reflective; and will the players see themselves in each others' visors?

2-Will Halo2 Incorporate the xbox Music Midea software, to allow gamers peronalize clan symbols/tags with PERSONAL Images?

3-Will Halo2 allow gamers to play PERSONAL music over the Vehicals' Radios; and will other gamers hear your music as they approch your vehical?

4-Will the Vehicals be customizable as well as the characters in MP?

5-Can gamers create their own MP maps?

6-Will Blood and dirt splash onto Master Chief's Visor during gameplay (like in Metroid)?

7-Will there be an option to turn off cursewords in the Campaign?

I'm a Born Again Christian that LOVES Halo, but the curse words hurt the gaming for me. Being able to Block them will Help a LOT! I talking about a Disable Option that blocks ONLY the curse words. The word "Hell" is not a real problem, just the others.
I'm an artist, and being able to use my Artwork in Halo would be a VERY cool treat.

you voted 7? no one voted seven when i looked.
any ways i think making your own multiplayer maps would be the best option because making maps is realy fun in all other games you can do that.

1- Takes up too much in the way of framerate. They can't do it.
2- Music Media? You referring to the Xbox harddrive and such? Because I for once have no idea what you are talking about. As for images....maybe a mini version of MS paint in the game to make them would be okay.
3- No thanks. Takes up too much bandwisth broadcasting music like that. And I prefer Matry's work anyways.
4- That'd be nice, but not needed.
5- I could care less
6- Maybe, but not needed
7- Why the hell would you do that? It is a war game for crying out lud. Swearing is common in war and the world.

I am also a Christian and swearing has no effect. Maybe it is because the sin(if it would be that) means nothing to me and does not offend me. Words are so weak. I am also an artist, but as for needing to put my own work into the game, no thanks. I want Halo 2 to be smooth in gameplay, not choppy because it had to load up some image time and again.

I like all of them, but one of the coolest things (for me, cause I can't draw for crap) would be seeing yourself in your enemy's visor. Something that might be even better: if you are running directly toward your teammate with someone that you don't know about chasing you. As you run closer, you see the guy following, hoping that you''ll stop for him to crack your spine. Then you just turn around and punch him in the face. Of course, this would only be useful if your friend was too stupid to shoot the guy first.

about number one...not really, as far as the single player campaign is concerned. sure, online would be bad, but single player...not a problem at all really. it doesnt have to reflect/interact with EVERYTHING, just cetain things (blood, fog, etc.).

EDIT: for multiplayer, i see it being a problem...but single xbox co-op (if there IS co-op) wouldnt be a big deal.

Hikaru, in one of the updates Frankie said that they were doing something where you could watch an entire battle in the reflection on a grunt's eye. I'm not sure which update, but I'm sure it was there. It would be that hard anyway, just put what they see on their visor.

I had to go with radio in your vehicles so that others could hear the music when you were coming at them or if they were ridding along. I'd play some of the crappiest music your ears could think of. I'd also have some AC/DC's Highway to Hell going. I could careless if it wasn't in the game, but it would be funny if it was.

Wow, im the only one who voted for the mud/water splashing on the visor...I think it would be cool....

  • 05.31.2004 6:37 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

The splashing on the visor would only be cool if you could wipe it off, but even then it would be annoying.

Cool, I've never been told that I craete smart Thread subjects before. thanks.

I suggest the personal Art thing because Bungie already confermed the ability to create custom Icons. So making personal images a part of it (up to a certain size) should have no bad effects on the Bandwidth.

Visor splashing just makes since ifor a War game where Blood and dirt fly everywhere. MC does have an active shied. So I suggest that they make the Visor Splashing only happen if your shileds are down. It'll help remind/notify the player that he/she has no shields. If anything does land on the visor, then it should slowly run off of the visor beliveably.

I Honestly don't see how a perspn that claims to be a Christian can say Cursing doesn't effect them. I hear it 24/7 and I still can't stand it. Just because there is war, it doesn't mean that they are going to curse. It's just understandable if they do. To have the option of removing it from the game helps gets it into Churches and such. We played it at my church for a LONG time, then we heard a curse word out of nowhere. We figured we heard it wrong and continued to play. then we heard it again. We stopped playing because we didn't want the teens to hear it. Vilonce is a Big part of Life. The Holy Bible is Loaded with it. "Hell" is refering to the Actural Pysical Hell. And "Ass" is refuring to a Jackass (donkey). They are not used as profanity. The VERY WORST thing Bungie could di is include the "F" word in the game. If they are dumb enough to add it to such a fantastic game, then they should at least be kind enough to add a Disable Option for it. I refuse to play Riddick because of that word. And I was really refuring to playing it. (I played the demo).
If curse words don't bother you, and you are a Christian, then I suggest reexamining your faith and dedication to it.

Frank could at least answer these questions. After all, he does work on the website. So it's not like he won't have the chance.

yeah it was confirmed.i think it was a cinematic they were talkin about.maybe theres gonna be CG scenes in Halo 2???that should be one of the voting options. CG+Master Chief = *drool*

Spider, this might be better to put in the Flood... err... guess not (just remembered the rules...) but I can't stand the F word much either. It just doesn't sound right to me in normal speech. Stupid middle schoolers at church...

Sorry to double-post, but Halo 2 graphics are already fine as cinematics. Plus, it's always been that way, and it's been just fine. A CG Halo movie, YES! In-game cutscenes? Not bad, but unnecessary...

hey dude i totally respect your religion and beliefs,but i think that the majority of Halo players could give a damn about the language.it makes it more realistic and brings out the grittiness of war. and i understand about not playing Riddick,but its a prison dude,and prisons are not very nice or religious places

Well I don't mind the cursing, but I wouldn't care if it was taken out. I am also christian, and i really get irratated when someone curses alot, but in a game like Halo, they don't normally curse that much.

Bottom line, as long as they still have the Han Solo-style one liners (example and my favorite "Get back up so I can kill you again!") i'll be fine.

I remember seeing some Christian review for Halo. I'm glad my parents are not like them; those reviewers were pretty strict. What I wouldn't have is an all-youth DOOM 3 social at church. THAT'S going a bit too far.

WOah..lots of quotes.

Personnely, i like it when the game cinematics uses the same graphics and textures of the game. I don't know why, it just appeals to me more.

Heh heh. Damn, I hate it when my post becomes obsolete... Anyways, a CG ending would be a bit out-of-place. That's just my opinion, Nedus, it takes you away from the game... but not a bad idea.

  • 05.31.2004 8:31 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

its cool dude. i have gotten used to seeing both in game engine cutscenes and CG cutscenes,so it doesnt matter what gets in and what doesnt. it wont make Halo 2 any better or worse.


"worse". what the hell am i saying???? this is Halo 2!!!
