P.S. it's really annoying to me how the threads for weekly update discussions have become a race to get the first post in. even more so is the fact that the ppl that do get the first post dont have ne thing to say remotely regarding halo 2 or bungie for that matter. im sick of going to the thread after the update to discuss the improvements on the game, only to see "1st w00t!!" "whoa man u beat me to first, u bastard, i'll get u next week hahaha im a retard" for like a good page and a half. please stop doing this, ur not cool because u get first post, it just means that at around 4:30 PDT, you had nothing better to do than sit at ur computher clicking refresh for the update to come. and when it did, u just skipped the actual writing, and immediately went to the thread to compete in sth with no actual reward. like fart contests

[color=aqua] I could not agree more. [/color]

Maybe the evil mister chief means that you will be able to make a decision between siding with earth or 343 Guilty Spark. Or maybe its just something that Frankie felt like drawing. Either way, that update was awesome!!!

Great update, Frankie. Hell, I'd put it as the best yet! Single-player nearly done (and fun!), and multiplayer pretty much finished. All you have to do now is work on fixing the bugs. Man, I can't wait!

"did i miss something? when did the ATV get taken out?"

its been floating around for awhile, then was confirmed earlier this week, i think on the gamespy thing.[/quote]

I can remember myself thinking a year ago, Man it's gonna be forever until Halo 2 comes out, and hey now it's just a couple of months left.
And that great update made it sound even closer

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (it seems like) They're doing it again! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! They are making the scandianvian manual the ultimate incarnation of crap! NOOOOOO! The scandinavian halo 1 manual had 4 languages, but the same amount of pages as the english manual! NOOOOOOOOOO! I will get 4 times less information about the game than others! NOOOOOOOOO! All the useful things to know will be gone! NOOOOOOOO!

Except for that small thing, it's looking great! I can almost not wait until november 9 or 11 (does someone know the swedish release date?) This will probably be the best game ever made![color=003247]With the crappiest manual ever made![/color]


geez, calm down. at least you're still getting the game... it not really the end of the world because you don't get the FULL manual.



I was just trying to make people (manual translator) aware of the fact that every sane swed (probably the same for the other scandianavians) older than 11 understands enough english to understand an english manual. So no need to make a poor translation and cut 75% of the content.

So why haven't the ATV renders been taken out of the gallery?

And why hasn't Bungie said anything about it?

And what issue of OXM was it printed?

And how come they took it out, dang it?!

This may be a late or old question, but will weather be a selectable option in multi-player mathes? You know like in sport games, where you choose the field and weather conditions. It would be interesting to wage war in a rain, fog, or blizzard.

I always enjoyed fighting the Covenant in the swamp with rain pouring all around and low level fog hiding shadows. That would be an awesome innovation.

What's the word on this?

Well i for one am not unhappy about the ATV being gone. I think the bungie guys can agree with the famous Troy Maclure ( as seen in various fictional films ) when he said "If thats what they take out, what they leave in must be pure gold!"

Plus its allways nice to see that bungie think that the E3 build of Zanzibar which was just released a while back looks like crap to them. Meaning that they probably made some WAY cool advancements. BTW is the Shadow still in Halo 2?

You think you can take me? Cuz the uber poglop owns you n00b!



CLICK --> HERE <-- TO TAKE THE STUPID TEST

I was really looking forward to the atv! That kinda sux it's gone... Oh well... we can't have everything we want. I hope there are plenty of vehicles to make up for it... Can we hijack dropships and tanks this time? That would be cool lol! And how is the asking marines and people for vehicles and weapons and stuff gonna work?

Hey guys. This is only my second time posting here, even though I come here everyday. Does anyone know how big Zanzibar is? I mean comparing it to levels in Halo. Id just like to have an idea. Because it was mentioned in the Update that they were tweaking a map larger than the already big Zanzibar. Just wondering thanks.
