Subject: Question About Destructible Vehicles in MP (Forgive Me):

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

In multiplayer, if you destroy a vehicle, will it respawn after a certain number of minutes? Or is it lost forever?

I only ask this because I can imagine MP Trolls going out and destroying the vehicles in big maps so no one can use them... That would be very unfair to those who are too lazy to walk (that doesn't include me, since I'm more of a foot-soldier than a vehicle-jockey)...

Forgive me if this has been already asked. I looked in the Halo 2 FAQ, and I did not find an answer.

Then again at the e3 demo vid, the elite spawned right next to the spartan and they respawned instanly. So don't take anything that happened there to seriously.

They'll probably respawn, for the reason you said.

the people who won the mountain dew contest, and hence got to play the current halo2 game said that once they died they were gone until the round restarted. more realistic that way.

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.

Shai the only we know is from the E3 gameplay is that you only get the vehicle once during the round. That may be only for E3, because like you I could imagine that it would be a problem if you had a long round time or some gametypes might not have rounds. My guess is that not only can you specify the lenght of the round you can also define how many lives vehicles get and how long after they are destroyed until they respawn.

The vehicle will respawn, if u watch the e3 2004 mp demo, he blows up the warthog then looks at where it started and a new one was there

Maybe it will be like Halo 1, where the host can choose whether vehicles can respawn and in how much time.

The vehicles respawned in the E3 2004 demo only because it was a demo, not real gameplay. The Mountain Dew winners said that the destroyed vehicles stay blown up until the next round.

Hopefully it'll be customizable by editing the gametype like in Halo. But if not, smoke those vehicles first! heh heh
