you got proof craig?

They said there would be moon levels. I'm guessing it will effect them, since their going for the most realistic it can get. But i don't know about MP.

Heh, the scorpion would be interesting in low grav. A low gravity MP map would be genius.

That would definantly be fun for MP.

a no gravity level would be cool, but there would no vehicles

low-gee mp environs- that would be sooo awesome.... i mean, your strategies would have to change and adapt dramaticaly because it seems you would be more vulnerable (bouncing slow) while traveling, etc.

why no vehicles? maybe they'll bring out another version of the Hog - MoonHog - they had vehicles on the moon in like 1973 don't see why not in 2552+ when there is are permanent moon instalation

Bullets would travel the same speed... only further.

Grenades would act the same, but could be thrown further.

Driving and running would send you flying into space. Unles they have something to keep your feet and wheels on the ground.
The tank would be the only vehicle, right now, that would be able to drive around on the moon and not bounce up.

Jumping... a Spartan? He is gone! Extra weight in the boots. maybe. Grav-units, thrusters...
the type that push you down, not up.

I forget the formula for the energy... But 1/6 Earths gravity would make a Spartan a God.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I don't remember where but, Bungie described the low gravity level physics. You could jump from high cliffs aim at the ground and fire your gun to slow down. Also they had these type of features for low gravity in Marathon both MP and SP.

the moon buggy that went up on one of the Apollo missions looked mush lighter than the warthog (had to be light to get it into space) so the warthog would be fine in the gravity (weighs 3.5 ton) and the MC wouldn't be to bad (weighs 1 ton)

the old marathon physics that used the low gravity made the game fun

remember the bobs "help me"
they were making the game even funner on online
i wish there could be a halo type bob on halo 2

Yup. They talked about this in the infamous Halo 2 EGM in 2002. They said that you'd jump and reach secret entrances to Covenant moon bases, that being quoted almost verbatum.

Low-G Halo 2 tricks = a whole lot of replay value

Yeah I could definetly see a ton of replay value in that, I mean I always try and get to new areas. The thing I am most worried about is can the XBOX handle all this. Bungie looks like they are pulling out all the stops, but will it be too much? I worry about this before bed.

I am not worried about the XBOX but what about XBL. Though I gant wait to throw a grenade on the moon.

A grenade? That's the extent of your imagination? Two words man...
Warthog.
Jump.
On the moon, the possibilities are endless.

When that Warthog goes up...... it isn't coming down.

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

Okay okay okay, if we are talking about escaping The Moon (our moon)'s Gravity-Well then you need A LOT more lift then a Spartan's set of legs could provide or even the amount of force of a grenade or rocket launcher or even, yes, a bouncing Warthog.

But.... we all know what a couple (3 or 4) of conveniently placed plasma grenades can do under a Warthog. Two words people Warthog - Jumping. Think of it!!!!!!! You could get one up to a mile high (and yes it would come back down cause it's angular velocity would not be enough to keep it in orbit)... it might take a while tho for it to apex and return to the moon's surface. Another really fun thing to do would be to Jump a Warthog and then hit it with a rocket at the apex of it's jump! (i do this on Halo and i can get the warthog stuck in some very high places)

One more thought... about jumping on the moon. Think of how far or high you could launch yourself if you "Rocket-Jumped" (i.e. jumping then immediately firing a rocket at the groundbeneath your feet).


FYI = the moon's gravity-well is the reason why missions to Mars (yes talking about 2004 and not 500 years from now) )should be launched from earth initially then from a micro-grav platform and not from the moon. Why put yourself and cargo at the bottom of another Well? If there's fuel on the moon, then lift it off the surface, not the whole project/mission.

Lol, pump ur shields to 400% and let fly. It would be nice if all the weapons were snipers, so that playing would be harder and such. It would also be nice if they added a huge hill for the warthogs, so that a plasma on back of hog could send you far (you can jump light bridge in Halo doing that........)

I had bootleg photos of the moonlevel. It wasnt really completed from what I could tell. Just the MC in a warthog with a bunch of those Covenant Crates that you see in levels. I unfortunately cannot prove this. All of my pictures and files were lost from when my computer decided to go Communist on me.

I do believe however that I had shown Banshee Baron the site which had the bootleg screens. This was a long time ago though.
