Boy, Halo2, just from the vids they've released, have shown great cinematics! What I really hope to see is some space battles, a long cinematic like in the beginning of Halo. Just like in the books! Seeing the Covenant ships overpowering the UNSC, Obliterating everything, and watching the Orbital MAC (believe that's what it is) Firing at the covies. That'd look sweet! Gives me an Idea on what one of the missions will probably/ hopefully be. Just like on Reach, maybe you have to protect the MAC's! I'd love that! Any opinions?

Yep. You know, Bungie said you get to control some fixed heavy artillery in Halo 2. Maybe a MAC?

That'd be sweet. If you did use the MAC, do you get to shoot the Covie Battleships and Cruisers? That'd be pretty sweet. But I thought that they meant that big thing in the E3 2004 demo that was shooting when you were by sg. banks.

I only play the games for the cinematics. The storyline really, but you get the idea. I just want them to be beautiful and flow smoothly.

You will not control the MACS... techs type into keyboard to control those.... very boring.

Agreed. Using the MACs would be pointless as the player. Especially since they are controlled by keyboards. They are slow and would make you wonder why we are losing the war if you were an unstoppable beast with them.

Also inside the cinematics I think Bungie should maintain the realism of certain physics that they did in the first game. The physics I am referring to is sound. If you listen carefully to Halo's videos that are in space, there is no sound when the camera is outside of a ship. I like that. Very realistic and if there is good music playing most people will over look that there is no sound. That would be a nice addition of realistic layering to Halo 2.
