First of all, thanks to you for making this thread. This is what I have been waiting for since I saw the E3 2004 Video of Halo 2's multiplayer. This thread has at least 4 times the value of a weekly update (which describes the process, though. Let's keep that in mind).

I have a question related to questions about the sniper rifle. Are you telling us that the sniper rifle technically hasn't changed at all, despite the subtle changes? No recoil, fairly tracable shots, etc. Sounds like Halo's sniper rifle. I like that because Halo's sniper rifle just rocked and was nearly perfect. I still hope that the subtle changes will spice up the sniper rifle even more.

Thanks in advance!

So Stabby Erik, do you think Halo 2 demands the quote of "I think we should try a non violent approach to resolve this. I agree, but replace the word "non" with extremely, and after the word violent, include the phrase "blood explosion extrordinaire!".

Ok, again the sniper rifle didn't seem much different but this is NOT the final build we are talking about. As for the warthog being weak, the answer is yes and no. It is fairly easy to blow up if (and I do mean IF) you hit it directly in the engine block. But first you have to knock the armor off of it, so its not all that simple. One thing I noticed and I hope changes, is that the vehicle respawn after they blow up, but the blown up one eventually disappear. I know this is a memory issue, just like bullet marks on the walls, but it agrivated me because I was shooting from behing a destroyed Hog, and it disappeared!! That left me wide open. Hope they come up with a way of telling you how long they might stick around before just vanishing.

I couldn't take many pictures they kinda told me to keep it to a minimum and not point the cameras directly at the screen. I do have some footage on Hi 8mm that I need to transfer. I will post it somewhere if i do.

[color=lime]Stabby how long did you play for? I live in OC, I got a chance to play myself. The first time I played for like 3-4 minutes, and the other time was like 6-8 minutes. You know, there is a very easily accessable way to get plasma sword, there is a path you can take from inside the base. Say you are looking at the flag, there is stairs to left, stairs to right. I went up right stairs when I spawned as an elite (second round) and followed it straight to the point wher you shoot that little pack which makes that big thing come down [/color]

Thanks predator. I didn't try and find every path. I wish i had that kind of time. But I will definately check out that method Nov. 9. We got about 20 minutes. We were one of the last groups on the last day. I seriouly squeezed in everthing on that last day. Splinter cell 3, DS, PSP, and of course Halo 2. Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did. You know what upsets me, and not on this site cuz it is a bungie site, but in general, no one talks about the SNK booth. It ruled! lots of good give aways and lots of good 2d fighters.

Anyway, thanks for the info pred. I am sure you will be getting lots of questions from everyone too now :)

Not too much of a difference, just didnt seem as floaty. Whether Predator was there or not, he did mention something that i am suprised no one brought up. Stairs!!! Halo 2 has Stairs!!! Halo only had ramps. It makes the environments much more realistic. I mean come on, who builds a building with all ramps. Um... unless you ar ehandicapped, then its my bad.

lol
yea i saw the stairs in all the videos....(handicapped ramps, good one)
im thinkin halo 2 is gonna be a mix of halo one and counterstrike which would be awesome...(mostly halo though) I also have a feeling a lot more strategy will be involved

How do you move around the fusion cores? do you whack'em? Did you set any traps with them or see anyone set traps with the fusion core?

I kinda wish we got to play with the guys from bungie, but we play with some guys from the canadian press, so everyone was in the same boat. We didn't really have the time to experiment. I did shoot a few though. As for the SMG, it is best when duel wielding, like i said earlier. not to powerful or accurate on its own. But it does have a really high rate of fire.
