so its halo 2, wat do you think is in store.

i think with all the vehicles its gunna be an all out even war. oo wat about this(in the 8min demo when the other soldier throws a grenade it doesnt blow them up or move them so it looks as if its a flashbang, so you think more grenades or wat) with air, land, and maybe even SEA. i think they should throw in a small boat with a turrent and can hold 3 pp or sumtin i dont know. i think the bases should be bigggg and have a garage to store the vehicles in.

what about the sizes of the multiplayer levels, i mean r they bigger than bg and sw or wat...wat do you pp think?

I don't think there is going to be a boat. And swimming? MC couldn't swim in Halo, he just walked beneath the water.

Yeah, he's way to heavy to swim, metal doesn't float very good. Although he apparently might be able to go under water somewhere (it sounds "awesome"), I don't think it'll be a necessary part of gameplay anywhere.

If you were to swim, you would be a sitting duck. That is why Bungie created little tiny ships called Banshees.

Yeah, you hook up a chain gun or a missle launcher on the back of the boat too. That way you are not totally defensless.

I know that there will be at least 4 Teams, maybe more.
The 'sprint' move that was previously discussed waaaay back in the Late 2002 EGM featuring Halo 2 might be dropped, if not tweaked. It was made mention that the Team wasn't cool with Master Chief Sprinting so fast that he ran past a group of others riding in a Warthog.
We're looking at a TON more weapons, multiplayer maps and single player levels.
Customizable weapons when you've defeated campaign mode under certain settings/conditions; And saving that profile to use in multiplayer. We're talking invisible weapons that only you can see, and hybrid additions like adding a grenade launcher to your Battle Rifle.
Oh and while i'm at it..36 Players Max on Xbox Live. IN Multiplayer...and Co-Op as well.
As it was described to me:
"You'll need 36 players to take on the ARMIES of Aliens you'll be taking on in Co-Op."

I'm not claiming to have seen any of this personally...only spoke to someone who even Bungie.Net has said officially visited their Design Studio recently.

Sprint move would be pretty cheap, I mean, running faster than a Warthog? They should have the sprint thingie, but slow it down. No one really can kill someone running that fast w/out extreme precision (ahem, me w/ a sniper rifle, but i m talking on behalf of all newbies).

Originally, the sprint was only going to be usable when lowering your weapon...sacrifice safety for speed. My source indicated that they might tweak it to slow it down, but time contsraints may cause them to lose it completely.

BTW, one thing i'm NOT sure of...does anyone know if the Pistol is gone? I think it is but it's the one thing i didn't think to ask about.

The pistol is being replaced with the BR but i did here if the pistol does make it back it wont have the zoom view or the power it once had.

The sprint option would offer a whole new element of stategy...imagine sniping. Running from one location to the next always on the move, it would be extreamly difficult to get a lock on a good sniper. About the Pistols, i remember reading in the new issue of Game Informer (minnesota represent!) that the pistol will be there but it won't have the range or stopping power in original Halo (in other words it wont be the dominating force it once was). Im glad, could you imagine playing people who have dual pistols? You'd be dead before you knew where you were getting shot from.

The sprint move really has the potential of changing the whole play mechanic of the FPS, if used correctly. Or it could blow chunks.

I'm pretty sure that spring will be included. Frankie has talked about it in fairly recent weekly updates. He said that you lower your weapon to go faster but not faster than a warthog.

The people at bungie simply switched the roles. the sidearm has become a fast firing bullet hose and the primary weapon has become an accurate slowerfiring rifle with a smaller clip. about the pistol idk :) i really doubt it

The Battle Rifle replaced the Assault Rifle buddy. If you ask me... I would hate the sprint thing and im even a flagger. That would take the fun out of the fear and intensity of being shot on your long/short journy back to your base to cap that baby.

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

throws a grenade it doesnt blow them up or move them so it looks as if its a flashbang

that is because bungie was showing the concusion effect of the grenades when an enemy isnt within lethal range

That picture is dated Jan. 2000. Wouldn't that be during the making of Halo:CE?

Perhaps they decided to save that idea for Halo 2. WOOHOO!!!
