In Halo 2, I hope that they have improved the levels so that there r more levels but they r shorter. I didn't like that the levels were so long in Halo.

If anything I hope the levels are LONGER. Halo is an epic game with an epic storyline. The levels shouldnt fall short of epic proportion either.

I think they were talking more about the actual size of the levels.

Well, if the levels are larger in size wouldnt it take longer to traverse them?

This is where vehicles come in; every magazine that has recently talked about Halo 2, remind the reader of the importance of vehicles in the sequel. Bigger levels with more vehicle interaction is gonna make Halo 2 an even better and bigger game

In the June OXM, they said that the levels will be, through all the new things being put into the game, effectively 5 times the size of those in the original Halo

Man I can't wait...

if the size of the levels are all the more bigger, many of them will take longer, in answer to chimeras second question

Some of the levels are 3 times as big as Attack on the Control Room.

  • 06.19.2004 11:14 AM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

read the Halo 2 OXM issue. they said 4 times the size of Assault on the Control Room

Actually it's 4 times the size of Assault of the Control Room
Due to the type of vehicles and their different abilities, expect larger levels.....WAYYYYYY larger levels

This is great. Bungie originally wanted to have Halo to have huge battles to (not just those few times you fought with marines), but they had a release date to pass. That's why Bungie was making it extra careful on the release date this time; so that they would really be done with it. You only used the tank once for a short amount of time! Now for H2, they said they wanted it more like big battles; humans vs the Covies, something that is more like a war. I don't think the battle fields for halo2 are going to be "small" they can't! (if they want huge battles). So, they ARE having bigger levels, and BIGGER battles. (Dang it, now I want the game even more...) AHHH!

To be honest I liked the length of the levels on Halo. It's not the length of the levels that's the problem it's the lack of huge human vs. covie epics.

I felt that there was too much exploring and taking out waves of 8 covies at a time. The one change I want is 100 vs. 1000 kind of huge battles. Like on the beaches of the Silent Cartogrepher only bigger, as for level length longer is better but I thought the length of levels was fine.

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

I remember reading somewhere that there is a part in Halo 2 where there is a great expanse in which ALL of the geometry from Halo could fit within it...I can't really contemplate how big that is but it sounds like something on the scale of astronomically big.

I hope that there are twice as many levels, and that they are each a little longer.

This isn't Lord of the Rings, this is Halo 2 we're talking about.

I actually liked the size of the levels in Halo, what I want though, is MORE levels, and MAYBE have the levels a BIT bigger but not by much, just throw in like 20-30 levels at about the same length as Halo and I'll be fine. Also reduce the content of flood on halo 2, they are so annoying, I mean once the flood were found on halo, there were barely anymore covenant to fight, all you saw was flood, which was annoying cause all they do is run and jump at you.
And more epic battles seems to fit the bill, but you must understand, the reason Halo did'nt have to many human vs. covie battles was that there werent many humans ON halo.
But now that were on earth, I dont see why we cant have bigger battles with more humans.

I want it to be like Attack of the Clones with dropships flying everywhere, marines charging the covies in hogs, people on the front line dying, wraith missiles dotting the sky, scorpions trying to take out the wraiths, banshees bombing the scorpions, and with the jackals on the covies' frontline. All that on a huge, open field.

Mmmm...

I want long levels yes but i think that they should have some battles where its not run-shoot-run-shoot, where you are stuck down for maybe even up to a half hr or more in one part in one epic battle where the enemy never stops coming.

Only if we could have battles like that....ahhh.....

The only problem is, it's so difficult to have soo many characters on the screen at the same time. Usually in a game you never see more than 30 characters on the screen at the same time.
