Okay, so we all know that vehicles will be destructable in Halo 2, but what I would like to know is whether or not they respawn?? Now I don't know about everyone else, but in an average CTF game with my friends, those vehicles wouldn't last more then 5min, and that would totally ruin the game to have to run the flag back and forth all day.. it would take forever. I noticed that on the E3 demo the warthog and ghosts repsawn, but I wasn't sure if that was just for demonstration purposes or if that's how things will actually work. Anyone know anything?

I am absolutely, 100%, positively sure that vehicles will respawn. Multiplayer would sort of suck without any vehicles in it anyway.

I was just informed by shishka that they will not respawn beacause of space time continuum issues

I hope vehicles respawn. Either way why not make it an option. I think the greatness of H2 will be in it's diversity of options

Vehicles respawn to the best of my knowledge in Halo 2 multiplayer but only when the vehicle is completely destroyed. So far Bungie have not changed the fact that you cannot drive vehicles whilst holding the flag as no change has been mentioned in the updates but like all things it is subject to change perhaps, but in my opinion it will be a permanent feature in Halo 2

I like the idea of them respawning like every 2 or 3 minutes kinda like the way they do the weapons. If they instantly respawned when you killed the vehicle and its occupants as soon as they respawned at thier base they would have a new fresh ride there. To me that seems stupid and pointless if you are going to do that then why not just leave it the way it was. In conclusion I do like the destructable vehicles but like I said they should not instantly respawn because that would be pointless.

This brings up interesting things. Now that they have the "leftovers" of a vehicle stay on the map. Thwreckage doesn't disappear. People could put a "living" vehicle in something like a BG base, and blow it up. Wait for another hog to respawn and do it again until there are 50 hogs in the base

I read somewhere on this site some talk about this. It was not in the forum because just about everything said here is very suspect. When the levels respawn like when the guns and powerups show back up the destruction will go away and return to normal it has something to do with memory if all the destruction stayed there it would eat up all the memory and cause dreaded lag wich is what made halo so awsome I have never played a game such as Halo that had as little lag as halo does. Think about rainbow six 3 I bought it because it looked good but all it did was lag up and the controls where so jumpy you could hardly aim there has never been a game as smooth as Halo so I hope they keep it that way.

If they respawn, a pretty dirty way of getting a tank back to your base (as in a Blood Gulch style map) would be to rocket it from across the map so it blows up and respawns.

That makes me think of another question:

Will the explosion from a tank be the same size as a ghost? Personally I think a larger explosion would be more appropriate, not to mention more useful as a suicide attack.

i really hope vehicles respawn (j/k)

anyway, that debris could become a problem, so they could easily make it disapeer when a new vehicle forms
