I remember hearing a while back, that their were rumors of customizable weather in the MP of Halo 2. For example, you could play Zanzibar in the rain or a thunderstorm. Is their any truth behind this or is it just a rumor that has been dismisssed. Please don't flame me, I'm just curious.

I do not know the accuracy, but I think that would be pretty spiffy. Or even somehting as simple as day/night changes.

Imagine if they included Halo 1 maps. Wouldnt it be sweet to play Blood Gulch in the middle of a thunderstorm, complete with lightning effects?!

Ya, that would own. Night time, raining, shoot a hole in the ground, 1 minuite later it fills with water, 2 minuites later someone falls in it. Ah, good times, good times.

What if the old maps have destructable environments, too? Imagine being chased by someone in Sidewinder on the big patch of ice. You could turn and jump and fire a rocket and blow a hole in the ice and he could fall into his watery grave!!

Or, like in BG, you could shoot out a piece of rock, then it would fall on the guy, and kill him!!!

Do you guys think it's a possibility? I mean, surely Bungie has thought of it somewhere along the lines. Besides, they are wanting to keep so much of the surprises hidden, we don't know know at least 80% of what they have in store.

This image shows the sky grey and cloudy same as the E3 press conference showing.

This video(right click save as) shows the same type of demo during E3 for the players but the sky is bright and sunny.

It might be a little far fetched, cuse' eventually the place would be no longer playable. But if it could rebuild itself or something like that, then HELL YA!!!!!!

  • 07.29.2004 3:34 PM PDT

What level/scenario do you think would be the funnest? I think Zanzibar in the middle of a tropical storm would be pretty dang sweet. Imagine the palm trees being tossed around by the wind and everything. You blow up a Warthog and the little debris gets carried away by the wind! The possibilities are endless.

i think it would be bad if for really log matches it would go from dusk to night and from light shower to hard rain also whenever it becomes darker the (light) would have to be a whole lot more powerful and if ur on a warthog u could press the white button to turn ur lights on and off and aslo if ur on the chain gun turn a spotlight on and off this would aply for all vehicles except covenant which would have a radius of light around them from there gravity things unless it was a banshees which would have a spotlight on it

Ya know what'd b funny? Is if in the middle of the storm a hurricane came in at the end so it was like a "flavorfull" ending to the time limit running out. AWESOME!!!!!

  • 07.29.2004 3:39 PM PDT

A TORNADO!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE FUNNY!!!!!!!!

Just think how much depth it adds to all the levels if there were 10 MP levels and 4 types of weather and 4 times of day. It is almost like adding alot more MP levels with out all the extra work of desining new terrain.
