What was all the talk about studying weather systems in the new update followed by the dares to censor it out? Does this mean that they will be adding weather effects to Halo 2, like rain or dust storms or other cool things that could affect the visibility or just add an extra layer of coolness to Halo 2. But why go research it, doesn't everyone know what rain is like in games already? And why North Carolina? Maybe we'll get hit by a hurricane or something.

P.S. Did anyone else notice that they used that "wasp-like honey-gathering creature" phrase twice in the update? They also used "abuzz with fun and fury." I think they're just getting cruel now :-)

Maybe they wanted to study rain in a more urban environment. They could even be studying the effects of weather on people so they could see how civilians react(if there will be any).

A tropical storm passed by us a few days ago.

Again, North Dakota when Seattle is an entire country's length closer and has no shortage of rain. Maybe they want to look at storms, but here in Texas we have the best storms around. They probably just wanted to relax in Myrtle Beach. Wait...that's South Carolina. But anyway, is this an official conformation of weather in Halo 2?

Actually, the weather's been pretty nice up until these last few days. Last night we had rain for the first time in like a month.

If your in Seattle, maybe your just resistant to the acids that would easily melt a common person's eyes.

So does that mean they'd be throwing people into tornados and lightning? No wonder Halo 2 was delayed, they were having too much fun doing that.
