Is it just me or did that whole level shown on the 8-minute DEMO just get chopped up into pieces and thrown around into various levels. that demo was AWESOME and i was disappointed when i wasn't able to take my marine's dual sub-machine guns and take the turret to rip into the wave of jackals, then get my ghost stolen by a brute so that i could melee the -blam!- outof him. what happened to getting off the pelican and seeing your marines lying on the stretcher getting treatment from a medic huh??? i agree with netplayer2001

oh yeah, the ATV would have KICKED ASS!!!

Yeah, Bungie made that demo and trailer for promotional reasons, looks like it worked ; ). There was never any guarantee that all of that exact footage would be in there. You can take your marines' weapons, you can rip into jackals with a turret, and you can be boarded by enemies.

Watch the DVD, they clearly tell you that the ATV simply was not important enough to be worked it. It was going to cause a lot more work then what it was worth and conflicted with level design. It basically just didn't fit in.

the missing level and atv is the least of halo2s problems. i play all day i love the game, but they left out a lot of stuff and ic ant figure it out. how bad the needler is now, or how bad the shotgun became, or how about water with ships or other flying vehicles. or how about this covenant sword? why out of all things that could have potentially been added to this game did they piick a sword? how about an ak 47 or a knife or flyable pelican. or more weapons, like this flamethrower, or a new min/grenade, or a movable chain gun that sarge can move around like in the first campagin level, or how the grunts can run around with those and put them down where they choose. or even more, why didnt they make it so MC could run fast, or go in the prone position, or be able to climb, or make the map more interactive so t hat MC could do other things like hang from the ceilig like splinter cell. I know its all choppy but if i write a lot no 1 will read. my biggest one is this, how come when your playing alongside marines they can roll out of the way, and they can press up against the wall and peek? why cant we if we;re "genetically enhanced"??

Coming from someone who owns the PC version, and has used the flame thrower....you're not missing much.

Halo 2 MP is about balance, not novelty weapons that get used once or twice for -blam!-s and giggles.

did u say ak47? dude......no. Every other FPS has a ak47 if they put that in there that would have killed halo 2.Big time

yea they said that,at the beginning of 2003.Same as the ATV they took those things out a long time ago.Sprinting would have been fun but theres really no use for it in single player.

On the limited edtion dvd it says pre E3 they had no playable levels, the E3 demo was, guess what........ A DEMO of all the new Halo2 features (earth, boarding, brutes etc). It wasnt until AFTER E3 that bungie had any planned, designed and playable levels, so of course some the cool stuff from the demo made the first and final level drafts.

Why do people keep on complaining abou the ATV? Watch the DvD! It basically says that it just wouldnt of worked in the levels. Nothing else. If you dont have the DvD you should of forked up the $5 to get it. But now you should borrow it from a friend. Actually I dont know anyone that didnt get the DvD, but this is just at my school. not including ppl online.
