i have to say that even though the needlers have gotten faster.... i still think the old needlers were great! bungie, you guys should have just made the amount of ammo in one clip more. i hated having to use an entire clip just to kill one enemy! other than that, i would like to know what about the banshee??? is that going to be in multiplayer? will you be able to destroy it just like the ghosts and warthogs (and what about the scorpion)? other than that, halo 2 looks awsome

scorpion doesnt take damage, which kinda makes sense since firing and smg wouldnt really destroy a tank in real life, although a rocket launcher would...

I belive that the tank takes damage, if it didn't it would way overpower all the vehicals, could you tell me were you got this peive of information?

yeah i think if you hit the tank with grenades/rocket launcher/maybe needler? it takes some damage. but... since the tank has like 4 tons of armor on it.... well who knows? i dont think it will blow up like the other vehicles will!

i agree with UnSaNiTy there are only a few veichals that take damage for sure it's confirmed that for now the Warthog and Ghost can be destroyed and if you go to the thread that sais "4 players for one xbox on live" there was a big response written there that had alot of informaton although no one can be certian that it is accurate it's pretty convincing.

The scorpion isnt too good. You shouldn't be able to blow it up as it sucks. It is soo slow so going all the way back to the respawn point every time it take too much is stupid. It would be okay if it had 10 rocket shot health. I think you should be able to turn vehicle damage on and off.

people like you, chrisper are every reason that some people are going to refuse to plau halo 2 on live. why? well.... first of all, the scorpian may be slow but its basically a rocket launcer with infinte ammo. its not built for slayer, but its excellant for team games involving bases! and also, why the would you want to go back to a respawm point? are YOU a spawn camper?? shame on you. now, mister chrisper... go learn how to play right. oh yeah, on more thing-turn vehicle damage off???? wow. you must really be bad at halo if you spawn camp, and dont want vehicle damage!

faster tank fire? could be good.... it depends on how you use the tank. also, why would you think that just because there are tracking rockets makes you think banshees are doomed? you have to catch 'em before you can kill 'em!

for the vehical re-spawn thing im guessing that for team games and such the bases have pre-determined places where the vehicals re-spawn like Ut 2004

tanks are killable but from what i know its only weak in one spot. it has a fuel tank on it that you explode. then the tank goes bye bye
