In Halo2, you can see yourself when you look down. (E3 multiplayer demo from this year.)
If you are stupid, and shoot yourself in the foot, do you lose health?
If you can jump higher in Halo2, does that mean you can fall further without being injured?
I heard somewhere that you can "peek around corners", press down once to crouch, and press down again to LAY POSTRATE. That last would be great for sniping. Plus the click-crouch would leave you crouched without having to hold the button down. Can any of those three be confirmed?
Just how low of gravity on the low-gravity levels? 1/2 gravity would make objects go 4x as high. Think warthog jumping... Grenades bouncing... Things being blown sky-high. Heck, even jumping 40 feet. Is this low-gravity level(s) on the moon? If so, is the gravity 1/6? Wouldn't that make you jump...60 feet straight up!!! Think two people on multiplayer bouncing side-by-side trying to shoot each other while bouncing like bouncy balls...
Do needles home in? There was no evidence of that in the E3 demo from this year. (At least that I saw.)
When rockets home in, are they motion tracking or heat-seeking? So if you stay still, will the rocket zoom by or dead-center you in the head? And do the rockets shot from the rocket hog zoom in?
"All vehicles can be boarded..." (I seem to remember hearing.) Does this include banshees?
In the E3 demo from last year, Cortana says "Ghosts! To your right!". Is this a scripted dialogue or is Cortana really that helpful? (Notice she nothing while you are fighting in Halo1.)
On the same idea, if when you first boarded the rocket hog in the demo, you hopped in the driver seat instead, would the level play entirely differently? Meaning you probably would not have been under the Phantom when the Brute fell on top of the hog, you would not have hopped out, the Phantoms and Ghosts would not be chasing you...
Can you drive all those cars you see in the demo? Wouldn't that be fun, to roadkill the Grunts in style with a Ferrari... I heard somewhere there is a Chevy Truck you can drive, but is that just speculation?
Are there just 10 levels again? Yes, they are said to be "massive...think 4x Assault on the Control Room", but are there MORE than ten MORE massive levels? And just how many multiplayer levels could there be? We know about 5 or so, but even Halo1 had about 13. Halo2 should be bigger and better...
Master Chief's visor seems mighty shiny...could you see your reflection in it if you stood in front of somebody in multiplayer?
Vehicles and weapons respawn of course in multiplayer...what about the destructable terrain like wall sections, and those "explosive canisters" (for lack of a better term) in the demo? When you shoot out the mouted turret, is it gone for the rest of the game?
Don't banshees have boosting also? Whew, that fianlly puts and end to those merry-go-round banshee fights you have probably had if you play Halo PC.
And last but not least, if Wal*Mart is open 24 hours a day, could you get your copy of Halo2 at 12:01 AM November 9th?!? Do the shipments come in that day, or the day before with the instructions "do not sell until release date".
