Well, cutscenes can be really cool, just look at the Ocarina of Time for the N64, some of the coolest cutscenes I've ever seen. But then again, what I'm worried about, is that it will be like MGS2, and have nothing but cutscenes, and then five minutes of gameplay in-between. I know this won't happen, Bungie's not dumb, but too many cutscenes = bad.

If there's gonna be more cutscenes, keep the same amount as in Halo, but make them slightly longer. I don't want to have to stop every 5 minutes for a 2 minute cutscene

I second that, but a few more cutscenes wouldnt hurt.

i also agree.......

you should be able to skip them though, like after you've played the game about 100 times through.............kind of annoying in Halo 1 for me at least

Yeah, like in the begining of Silent Cartographer, I wanted to skip that intro sooo many times. It was very cool the first time, but it got so old.

A few more cut scenes are going to be necessary to reveal the story in Halo 2.

What I would like to see is a little chit chat between the Cheif and Cortana in game. As it stands the Chief only speaks during cut scenes.

If there aren't more cutscenes in Halo 2 than Halo I will be sadly disappointed. The campaign is supposed to be at least 2 times longer than the original game's single player mode and thus there should be a proportional increase in the number of cutscenes. These brief movies tell the story that Bungie has so elegantly crafted and are crucial to the game's development. I certainly wouldn't mind if the length the cutscenes increased. It would only add to the immersion in the Halo universe.

Well, the cutscenes i've screen for halo 2 are awsome, i've probably seen the available ones as much as the ones for halo 1. But I must say that there will be a time when I just want to play the game and not watch all the movies/cutscenes for it, at any rate the ones for halo 2 I predict I will want to watch more times than the ones for halo. Oh yeah, some nut job told me you could duel wield with the plasma sword=an unstopable force, but he had no proof but "I read it in one of the interviews". Can anyone quickly confirm or deny (I am pathetic at spelling) this?
