Here are my favorite things about Halo2 multiplayer:
1. Lobby I love the fact that you can see what is coming next, and see how the teams are laid out. Gives you a chance to even the teams before the game starts. The impact of the delay button need to lessened, it can be used to hold the game up indefinately.
2. Stats at the close of the game Its nice to see where you stand in the pack in more catagories then just kills and deaths. I likr the hit ratio stat as I'm trying to improve my overall accuracy. Now someone need to build a bot to go out and retreive the stat logs of all of the servers out there so a career stat tracking website can be built.
3. HogWars on District. I have been having a blast with this gametype. Magnums only and a map loaded with Guass hogs force you to team up and go tearing around the block sending electro-magnetically propelled slugs into the other team. I was walking to a hog one time and heard the thwump of a gauss gun to my left. All of a sudden I was dead, skidding across the ground to the right for over 30ft.
4. Voice chat when it works. The ability to relay info to your team or driver without having to type is wonderful. The problem is that not many players have there mic configured properly. I guess I will work on a how-to for setting up the mic.
5. Battle Rifle to H2 what the pistol was to H1
Things I do not like
1. Limited Field of View tunnel vision gives you no awareness of what is around you just what is in front. Leads to rediculous ambushes when you walk right in front of someone and have no idea they are there.
2. Sub-machine gun Ugh POS weapon. Most map defauft setting have one of these in your hand and loads on the map. This Forces you to double it up and hose down your opponents who will doing the same to you. I have never killed anyone with full shields while weilding one of these weapons.
3 Coagulation Way to -blam!- up the greatest map from Halo1. Defualt setting on this map is infuriating. You spawn, helpless as a newborn infant, with a single SMG somewhere outside of the base. You never spawn on top of or in the base, So it takes you forever to get to a decent weapon. For vehicles you get a Ghost and a Chain Hog, both of which are destructable so they rarely make it to the enemy base and back.
4. Melee lunge attack It has made the melee attack too powerful and when you get into close range your stop firing and pound until one of you is dead. The noob knife(sword) is over powered as well. If it is close, you die.
5. Lack of Players There are usually about 15 servers with people in them, and only 6-8 have more then 6 players. Brilliant marketing ploy to make it exclusive to a OS that was just released.
Questions
How do I change teams while playing the game? Haven't figured it out yet.
How is it possible I can get a splatter medal in a sword match with no vehicles?
What would you guys think of starting a MAW Gathering for Halo2Vista? Since I don't have a dedicated server we could maybe agree to meet up on one of the M$ dedis and just take what it gives us.
