Hey im not sure if this is true, but i heard somewhere that u can controll weather u want the MP maps at what time of day you choose. If so could u confirm, and also if this is true how cool would it be to controll the weather like rain sun etc. so how cool would these features be and are they included.

I heard this as a rumor. It's yet to be confirmed but i think it would be cool because then night vision would be all the more usefull. I hope more than just the sniper rifle have nightvision scopes in Halo 2.

battlerifle and rocket launcher should have night vision as well.....

there should be a multipler level where you HAVE to use night vision, that would be sweet

it would, simply put, revolutionize yet again game play, if they did weather control and night/day control we would probably have the best multipler game for EASILY the next 5-10 years (unless Halo 3 comes out)

Also, if its raining, blow a hole in the ground with a rocket etc. and let it fill up with rain.
Then, when a warthog come and drives over it, its tire hits the "Deep" hole and rips off!


That would be my game :)

Indeed they should put in the weather and time aspects into the MP maps or even better if it would be a gametype option you know..... I dont think that the BR or the RL should have night vision BUT bungie should put in much better flashlights and have them not turn off when you soome becuz in halo 1 the flashlights sucked.....

Weather would be really hard to code, because it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities.

i really really really hope bungie does something like this i hope if they do do it that they get it all right like muzzle flashes and lights also i think the sniper and some new spec ops weapon (like smaller BR) should have night vision oh and the covenant counterpart would be a elongated plasma rifle with not very advanced heat sensor also i would like thunderstorms cause imagine the chaos of ur tema defending you can hear stuff going on but you dont know then thunder and you see the outline of a banshee and all your friends dead I also think all vehicles should either have night vision a spotlight or head lights Imagine a spotlight from a banshee tracking ur vehicle as you go through a swamp pure sweetness

Everyday...I mean c'mon he's a frickin cyborg super soldier from 500 years in the future. WITH A MAGLIGHT TAPED TO HIS HELMET.

It's only logical that something that advanced would have something as simple as nightvision.

Currently, most of the serious combat that took place in Iraq were all night attacks executed with -blam!- 21st century nightvision.

ya, but the flashlight adds a darker more challenging part to the game. and nightvision would be too perfect. with the flashlight, it can be seen (when being stealthy), but not nightvision.

Holy -blam!-, this would be unbelievably cool. Night time CTF, yeah.

  • 06.24.2004 3:09 PM PDT

hasnt any one read the books the first book when they put all the drugs and other -blam!- in the spartans to make them better they were like cats there eyes could see perfectlly fine at nightso assuming this he wouldnt need night vision.

I don't think halo games are long enough but in other games it would be cool to have the day and night cycle. Say 10 mins of day and 5 of night.

Some upcoming games have it, and it is a great idea. why?

there are loads of cool gameplay things this does. It means every now and again you can use the cover of darkness and the gameplay changes to a more stealthy approach. As the sun rises gameplay changes again. Its a great idea.

  • 06.24.2004 3:37 PM PDT

uh but if every 10 min it would turn into night that would be a hella long mission and it would also piss me off to have to see it change so much and halo is not any where near a stealthy game exept for kinda not really on the level truth and reconsiliation when u have to take out as many as u can with out them seeing u

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

i think more than rain would be cool. fog, snow, blinding sun, haze, and meteor shower would all be cool things to have in MP. i like the meteor shower. imagine giant rocks periodicaly falling from the sky and smieting your foes. COOL!!!!

The rain screwed over your vision with little rain drops and lightning storms messed up motion trackers and made your HUD fuzzy.
