the longsword is a small troop carrier as well a fighter so a longsword fighter would be cool, you attack the base on a raid, unleash the squad of 4, and then get out of there. That would open up so many more tatical ideas.
Where exactly did you hear that the longsword was a troop carrier? the pelican is a troop carrier, the longsword is a long range Jet (compared to the current Jet), that thing flys hunreds of miles to come within range of its target, and to do that it has to move fast, so it would be alittle impracticle on the small maps that are in the game. Also if it were a troop transport, why would it only allow for 4 passengers? and why is it never depicted (in the novels), as deploying troops on te surface of planets?
or we could use the assault Pelican form Hugeass, you know the one with the rockets, and the machine gun monuted on the back?
The banshee in Halo 2 had the fule-rod gun removed to balance it, it also allowed people to board it, and it cant hover. the pelican wouldnt be very well designed if you could board it (unless you had no passengers), it can hover, and the one you are describing (you get to see it on the first delta halo level), actually has missle pods, and a 50 caliber machine gun on the back. now im only assuming here, but that thing would probably take more than 2 rockets to take it down, and with the short amount of space in the current levels, not only does it seem very impracticle, but near impossible to stop. should the game be alterd to include something like this, or the longsword, the game would dramitcaly change in its expereince. i almost forgot to mention that it would also need custom physics and animations, the only places you see in crash (or more at all for that matter), is in cutscenes.
Well, having it as stock would be better, as people will play more with stock than on customs. Well, I think more people will play stock than customs, at least in the beginning.
true, true, but with what i have said, and how things are it seems alittle unrealistic. dont get me wrong i think they are great ideas but alittle to large for the game at hand.
Yeh that is what i meant Blackness, Halo 2 PC will require a descructible environment i can promise on that one, with all the good stuff...
uhh... are you sure you were talking to me and not Omniospartan? if you are i think you might need to clue me in as to what you are refering to.
Yet, someone actually though that making it windows Vista only was a great idead......
Someone is gonna get fired for sure.....
the people that agreed to this would be Jason Jones, and Bill Gates... if you are some how unaware of who those people are, they are the project lead for Halo 2, and the creator of Microsoft respectively. now if you can figure out a realistic way for either of them to be fired for this please tell me, i would love to know.
Hell....i didn't buy an Xbox and that only costed 200$ with halo 2!!!
Who will buy a new hardware compatible PC, and software, to play 1 game?
Not me for sure........plus I never buy a new operative system for at least 1 year of coming to the market.
i bought my first xbox for halo, and i broke that so i bought my second xbox for halo 2, all other games i have were secondary thoughts at the time. and because i am about to build my computer for games and CAD programs, i will build it around halo 2 and vista. so i will either get a good video card now and wait for improvements on vista, or i will get a crappy video card now so i can wait for the hardware compatability list. that and i will need my software to be compatabile with vista too... so that means yeah i will. One of the reasons i didnt by a 360 was because i wanted to wait for all the crap to be sorted out before i spent my money. so i am unsure of what i will do in respect to vista right now.
There aren't that many models. Only 2 or 3. The stuff that falls off is just like scenery.
wait what? did you just try to tell me that there are only 2 or 3 models in halo 2? please clarify this for me before i double the length of this post.
More variable melee damage. I mean, come ON! Being smacked down with a rocket launcher to the face is going to do more damage than a simple pistol being whacked into someones chest.
you dont play much halo 2 do you. ok, grab a rocket launcher, and jump and smack someone in the head, instant death. Try that with a pistol. you might have to do it once or twice more. alot of the time i have to hit people 3 times with my battle rifle to get a kill.
Bring back the flamethrower! (It pz0wns0rs energy sword badly) and it'd be nice to have a new vehicle as well (like the scorpion ^^).
WHAT? ok, if the flamethrower in the first halo was the same in halo 2 the sword would destroy it, take some damage, but destroy it. there is a scorpion man damn. Have you ever played halo 2 before, or atleast for more than 1 hour?
Lan/internet co-op! I mean COME ON! SERIOUSLY! I really felt pissed off by that lack on H1.
Halo 1 had co-op, but i really know what you mean with the lack of xbox live. but you probably meant the lack of co-op over xbox live or LAN right? yeah i missed that too.
Some bots would be nice.
definately, if they have the time i seriously hope that adequate bots can be added, it will really give halo 2 Vista that extra push.
About the best suggestion I can think of for H2 on the PC is to have Bungie implement a spell checker in the forums....
i know what you mean, some times i have trouble understanding what people are trying to say because of the lack of spelling, and simple gramar like commas.
As for that crack against people on xbox live against pc users, i prefer console gaming because i know im on an equal battle field hardware wise, but when it comes down to it the mouse (not nesessarily the keyboard), are an advantage.
It would be nice if team killers were discouraged with an IP ban, but playing games like rockets (and hopefully fuel-rods), it can be easy to accidently tk your allies, i have done that afew times on xbox live, and after acouple of times people have had the option to boot me, i think a better idea would be a kick, or to have the people that were team killed have the option to decide how he should be treated. if it were a persistant problem and not an accident, then they could choose suspension, but if it were an accident they could decide to leave the person be.
That about covers it for this edition of The_Blackness' reply, till next time good bye and adue.
