In Halo 2 i'm hoping for alot of options in the multiplayer. I thought one of the best ideas i had was one where some people could have shields and some can't e.g. The commander of both forces have a shield but no one else does, or you could have games with 5 players with shields against 11 without, kind of a last stand thing going on there. What do you think?

Yea that would defidenatally add some zest to the game, like the ones with shields would have to help protect the ones without

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Sounds cool. But the players without energy shields might as well be grunts, marines, odst's, etc.. for full effect.

That would be a neat feature for games. Maybe they could make into some kind of like assasination game were 1 person doesn't have a sheild and the others that have sheilds have to protect those without shields.

Yeah and you could just organise all sorts of missions just with those options, yeah maybe if in a sixteen player 15 could be marines and one a spartan.

Abit like protect the VIP in counterstrike.

Oh do any of you think that halo 2 on xbox will have split screen? I bet it does, but all this talk of live get me worried abit. I hate paying subscriptions you see.

Halo 2 will most likely support split screen, system link and Xbox Live play. They would probably have all of that because split screen/ linked play is what made Halo's multiplayer so good.

I agree. have units that by default don't have shields. That would be fun also by playing a Grunt/Jackal/ODST/Marine

If this new Xbox Live version allows for MODing, hopefully we will be able to make new types of multiplayer games were you can be a marine, grunt or some other character.

I think there has got to be a game type where you face off against unweilding waves of flood with friends online, the time that you survived for would be put on the stats.

have a team as grunts versus a spartan, and the spartan must get into the base, defeat 1 guy as a golden elite, grab a flag and escape.
