I heard it hadn't hit newstands yet, I haven't got my issue yet but I expect it before the weeks out. I do like the screens I'm seeing online, but I have yet to see all of them. Interesting info, not too much is new. In terms of information they were quite a ways behind Game Informer. The vehicle boarding is pretty intense, you can board a Scorpion Tank by scaling its barrel? Insane.

That was what I was talking about. I have it right here, it has the Master Chief with two SMGs on the front and I have the poster which came with it. Can you get that through your head?

All the screens are renders from that issue, and they're available on www.bungie.net. Nothing we don't know, because it was a year ago.

Is this important, or is it just more about multiplayer? Cuz frankly I don't care about Xbox Live, I've been playing on a much better network for years: the internet. Anyways, is there new campaign stuff?


Bungie, you must stop doing this! Pimping magazines is not the thing to do! Or is it Mirco$oft?

January 30, 2004 (Warthog's Day)
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.

Mostly it describes new moves like boarding.

Here's the breakdown of the OXM article (buy it when it comes out, the screens are sweet and the article is much more in-depth):

Vehicles:

* they've been fine-tuned to include incredible in-craft graphics and sound
* some vehicles, like the Warthog will actually shift in gear and increase in speed depending on what gear they're on (and they've added an emergency break to control the Warthog more effeciently)
* vehicles will now reflect damage to a greater degree and will eventually become unusable
* vehicles will respond to damage in force-feedback, for example there will be a shaking sensation if there's a problem with craft you're driving, however it will not directly affect the control
* Wraith tanks can be taken out with a shot to the fuel tank once it's been lowered sufficiently in power

Weapons:

* dual-wielding is confirmed, but the extent has yet to be determined, so far it only has been seen with single-handed weapons
* you cannot throw grenades while wielding two weapons
* the new Covenant weapon is the "Covenant Carbine" with scope (claiming to be a soon-to-be-fan-favorite)

Enivironments:

* Halo 2's maps and levels will be five times larger then the original
* the environment's animations will create accurate ambient sounds
* level repetition has been completely eliminated
* lighting is an impressive dynamic that changes the way the game is played
* character animations responding to environments are more crisp (ie. from walk to jog to sprint)
* level size allows for multiple angles and approaches

The Enemies:

* Brute's weapon fires "slugs" and will include the blade
* Brutes do not have energy shields, but are protected by armor and it takes two head-shots to bring them down
* Jackals will hunt in impressive fashions
* Brutes and Elites don't care for eachother and this is displayed in the game
* Covenant rank will reflect different armor and weaponry

Boarding:

* based on their report it appears you can in fact board (vehicle-takeover) every vehicle, including tanks and Banshees
* you can board a variety of ways (from back, front, left , right) as long as the craft is moving slow enough
* you can choose from attacks during the boarding process to dispatch the driver
* Elites and Brutes are confirmed for boaring

Multiplayer:

* basically just rehashed the Game Informer article (I bet they were pissed about this because they don't even mention the names of the maps they played or spend too much time on it)
* they show the Master Chief in a white/silver for multiplayer which I believe may partially confirm Frank's inference (by his art) that there will be more than four teams to choose from or at least four colors to choose from

It's only out for subscribers at the moment, you'll have to wait a week or two before it hits the stores.

NIce vociferous; you gonna update your FAQ soon with that new info?

Alright, go ahead and gloat all the way. And what do we Germans do? Sit here with spit leaking out of our mouth, crying "HALO 2"! I need info!
Right, I can't get all those magazines, and I don't visit America often enough to buy a mag every freaking month.
Whatever, maybe somebody can just say what they saw on the screens and whether they gave you new info on Halo 2.
Thanks for cooperation.
By the way, I hope telling what's on the screens is still legitimate. Just for the sake of OXM's efforts to make profit.
