Do you think there will be any civillians in Halo 2? If sohow will they react and what will they do. Will there be Covenant civillians like the engineers?

that would be cool if there were civilians, that would give the earth levels a more human colonised feeling i think. but as long as you don't have to do any hostage rescue type missions. but i dougth bungie would do that.

Having Civilians would be cool that walked around when everythings quiet and during combat run around screaming. U should put all of above but Not be in the game if they Warned you of Covenant, Gave you supplies, Picked up weapons and use them would be AWSOME! it would be cool to drive the cars that u c like the 1s in the E3

The humans were fighting the covenant already for a long time before the covenant found earth, so I'm sure they would have found a way to evacuate everyone very fast.
But the best reason I have for civilians not being present, is that they wouldn't make the gameplay better, and would probably just be anoying...

It would be rather foolish of Bungie if they didn't put some civilians in (lets not forget earth has been nuked alot by this time, thats why i say some).

But rather than have them all screaming and running away, some should help, some should fight, and some just warn you. Having them all pick up a gun and fight is unrealistic. But having them all run is unrealistic too (darn cowards).

It would also be good to see some pockets of human resistance (i.e. fighters not in army clothing), but of course they would have to get ripped to shreds by the superior Covenants. I feel this would be good for fueling adrenaling in the game. (covenant bastards!)

Resistance fighters will be cool, though of course that is what eventually the human military will turn into after the beginnig of Earth's siege.
