Lets talk about the gameplay in Halo 2. No bees, no story speculation, just gameplay. What improvements are you excited about? What will you miss from the first? What are your favorite weapons, vehicles, or aliens to kill? They already have a thread for speculation, let's talk about gameplay.

Please, no bees.
------------------------
I'm looking forward to trying out all the new weapons, especially the SMG's, and I can't wait for my first encounter with the Brutes and Prophets. I will miss the pistol if it's not in the game, but it's a small price to pay for so many improvements.

Warthog jumping is going to reach a whole new level with explosive canisters and destructive environments. Ride that ATV to the moooooooon!

Gameplay. Hmm. Probably Xbox Live and bots (if they are included) will be the biggest improvements over the first Halo. I really don't mind anything else that's new. The new weapons, after all, are just new weapons that kill alien races. The new vehicles, are just different things to drive. Although, if you look closely at my username, I mean really closely (the best way would be to copy and paste it and then zoom in on it a million times) you might find what my favorite feature is going to be.

IF (keep your eye on that if) there are Bots, they will be my favorite new thing, being as it's not that easy to get a bunch of people and xboxes hooked up and Live is out of the question. I do enjoy driving new things by the way. Imagine I'll blow up much more, now that they're destructable.

You wouldn't perhaps like the new dual weilding feature would you? Will make for some interesting pairings of weapons. I like the idea of plasma rifle/smg.

1. running up to those ugly grunts and doing a sweet melee combo
2. going up to someone behind them in multiplayer, putting my shotgun to their ear and asking (with the help of proximity voicing) "can you hear the ocean?" :-D
3. playing it on a 72 inch WIDE SCREEN surround sound TV cranked up!!!
4. being able to stay home from school the day it comes out :-D lucky me, and i dont have to fake being sick
5. the pistol is finally gone, that thing was a little too powerful in my opinion
6. THE BATTLE RIFLE AND CARBINE WILL R0x0R!!!!
7. When halo 2 comes out, ilovebees, demo releases, and all that crap will be gone, and it will be about nuthin but easter eggs and funny multiplayer and single player expieriences.

gonna be cool, social life and school can wait

i have heard some rumurs about the pistol NOT dissapearing but losing its scope. The atv will be skoolin with its rest the gun on the windshield. but i'm lookin forward to the covenant carbine (new sniper) it will be awsome!!!!! and of cource the blowabul terrain and the lockon rocket launcher. i heard the assult rifle is going away too. its trading for the smg's, but then again im not the most informed person

Grunts are'nt so bad :( says Grunty.

Can't wait for the bees to go away. Their stings hurt and I'm allergic.

The assault rifle did seem less effective than it should have in Halo. I will not miss it too much.
Battle rifle= Tasty treat for all covies. Comes in a variety of flavors- tangy zoomed in single shot to head, and sour three shot bursts. MMMMM.

I cannot, for my ears don't work to well.

With fond memories of ramming warthogs together with friends I can't wait to see how the ATV's turn out or other CENSORED vehicles for that matter.

I wonder if you can bury enemies in the rubble of destructable environments. That could play out in a big way. Halo 2 will be so much more interactive. I can't wait to be immersed in its' greatness.

Don't forget "giggidy giggidy" -Quagmire.

Errr, don't have AIM. How about MSN WORT WORT? Most people seem to be busy with bees though. Too bad.

Conspirators? Conspiracies involve speculation... exactly what I was trying to get away from... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! *Goes insane*

Is that on AIM or what?

Indeed Cable, the destruction of levels will be a great addition. Halo fans always seem to create their own mini games. Demolishing as much as you can will be a new one.

I don't see how to get to the chat. I think I DLed AIM for nothing. So lost.

Warthog jumping isn't over. It's going to a whole new level. Don't be sad. Didn't you see the second 3D halo image?
