The new idea of including the Covenenant in live / split screen play is great, But I was wondering if you wanted to if you can still pit Chiefs v. Chiefs in mp.. I would kind-of miss the human vs. human feel of that. Also if you might be able to put covenant v. covenant.. sorry if this has been answered im a noob here (regular at www.halflife2.net). Also I wondered if the violence / blood effects in halo 2 have been revamped or anything. thanks.
edit: oh yea forgot to mention im gigantic fan and regular player of halo.. just havent been involved in online halo community. Also I was wondering if you could play as regular human marines (no cyborg suit), but I doubt that + dont really care :P

well let me be the first to welcome you to the forum, while they have not totally answered that question yet, it is pretty much a safe bet that you will be able too. either way the multiplayer screens that have showed so far show 3 or 4 seperate teams each having spartans on them. so i would say 100 percent yes

We play Halo via. system link at my local LAN parties and it is possibly the most fun experience of my teenage life :P nothing beats flag bashing 4 people in one run, pistol sniping, warthog hit and runs, sticky plasma nades (pure genious) and the madness of 20+ screaming halo fans. Halo on xbox live will likely change my life forever (lol) I cant wait im so excited (:

yeah i am hoping the option to be an ODST is in there, but if its not no biggie. but it would make the battlefield a bit more varied looking.

I am a half-life junkie :P I lurk forums for it all day and learn everything there is to know.. I wont argue but I will play both until im blue in the face!

in the battle between Halo 2 and Half-Life 2.. the gamers are the winner (stole from some guy :P) only he was talking about Doom III vs. Half-Life 2 and thats a whole 'nother argument there :D

there all gonna kick ass!

I really like that headcrab "the gamers are the only winners" quote; Halo 2 might blow Half Life 2 out of the water but HL2 is still going to be a ridiculously good game that will put jaws to the floor (Halo's gonna put jaws to the floor and then its gonna make your heart fall out your mouth!).
Anyway I have seen screenshots with both teams being Spartan but as yet I havent seen any Elites on Elites, but Id be willing to put a large bet on their being an Elite vs Elite option!
Im actually really looking forward to Free for All's and having a nice mixture of Elites and Spartans killing each other!

It would only make sense for bungie to make elites vs. elites since there doing spartans vs. spartans..so im %99.9 that they will have it. Welcome to bungie headcrab.

Well duh you can fight Cheifs vs Cheifs.

The screens show it, plus in the newest weekly update Frankie mentioned "all the old gametypes will be in Halo 2 as well" meaning slayer meaning you get to have a free for all meaning anyone vs anyone meaning u can have Cheifs vs Cheifs.
