There are lots of models in halo 2. Damaged vehicles only use 2 or 3 for each vehicle.

The ability to do all of this in less than 256MB of RAM. We forget that alot of people (like me) have crap for PCs still... So we need a few ways to turn off the eye candy cause i'm sure you'll be tempted to makethis for PCs that will require quite a bit of memory and such. Gotta remember some people still use premade computers. I heard this game has bosses or boss vehicles, it would be nice to weaken them a little then cut their power in half or something for multiplayer mode. Playing as all chars in multiplayer mode would be nice, indeed. And if you choose to allow a custom version like in halo1... Allow us to make single player versions in that, please. lol

256mb, are you off it? You'll need at least 512, and anyway RAM is cheap, especially for 256mb sticks.

Actualy when i said there should be more then a 16 player limit i wasn`t talkin about all the maps ffs! BUT if H2 is comin to the PC you do realise that it`ll have extra maps and crud...so i was thinkin more maps...and since there are gona be lots of user created maps a player limit of 16 is utter crap when let`s say u gona have a map the size of some of the UT2004 maps...get my point? i mean...think about it...huge map CTF with lots of vehicles...base deffence turrets etc. u pack 8 guys into a pelican and come in low between the walls of the dried up river and sneak up on the enemy base...while the other 24 players distract them with frontal attacks with warthogs or scorpions and whatnot...heck...even some 1 man human flyers would be brilliant...it will be a new game and it`ll probably pack more stuff then the dusty xbox version...so i`m just dreamin about stuff u could add...:)

Make Halo 2 for the PC for other OSes besides Vista. Like Windows XP and Windows NT.

so i really doubt that they will make 256mb of ram work, seriously. and as elimicker said sticks of 256mb of ram are cheap, and its pretty much become the standard of todays computer to have a minimum of 256. Ofcourse there will be ways to turn of alot of the particles, and texture detail, and model detail, and resolution, blah blah blah. every game has that. you also might want to reconsider getting halo 2 for vista, because if you cant get enough money for ram (1 minute on newegg.com and i find a stick for 18 bucks), will you even fork out the money for the operating system, not to mention you would have to back up all your data or lose it.

MST3000, you made a good point there, i didnt even consider that (i think), but to come up with a way to make both even, the old maps should be capped, and any user created content, can be what ever you want (within reason).

Make Halo 2 for the PC for other OSes besides Vista. Like Windows XP and Windows NT.

i seriously doubt that this will happen now, if ever (atleast officialy).

you do know that every time they make compatibility with something older, they have to sacrifice quality in some area. If they make it for vista only, the game will be at its utmost quality.

so we hope. but a problem with vista is that its so new, there could be any maner of problems that will influence Halo 2. take a look at the 360 with the disk errors, it was a stupid and smal mistake, a mistake that was overlooked and damages peoples first perception of what they are trying to experience. so there are ups and downs. personaly im not so excited about vista, its pretty much the same old thing with a different look, that and im more interested in functionality than pretty bells and whistles, much like how i like my FPS's. as you may be able to tell i would have switched to linux a long time ago, problem is, its not practical for me, alot of what i need and want comes to windows first and thats just an unnessesary obstacle.

Vista is hardly new, it's been through multiple vigorous beta tests and has been in development for 5 years now.

Yeah, and that works fine aswell, the so called "bugs" are just urban myths.

yes ofcourse they are, because i wouldnt have gone and seen an xbox 360 have any problems would i? nor would i have seen a public announcement from microsoft talking about the faulty xbox's.

now i understand that some problems are bound to happen because of a rush to get it in stores, and that would be why im ok with waiting. that and im still waiting for some good games to be released, only acouple of the current games look interesting to me.

Spectator mode-YES! and also a mode where you could make movies while IN spectator mode.

i can agree with that, i think it would be kool if that while spectating you would appear as one of the monitors of the halo instalations (ya know like 343 guilty spark). it would probably be best if you only appeared to other spectators though.

i dont know about making movies (i think you meant record video), but recording video would be nice, especialy if there was no hud, you could get some really interesting camera angles and stuff. but if the editor turns out to be alot like the Unreal Editor, there might be a montage editor in there (in unreal you could pretty much make an entire montage in there, on your own, but you would have to do the voices).

i think it would be pretty cool if you WERE able to be a monito like 343 you would just pres left mouse and you would be babeling something stupid or witty like in campaign!!!!!LOL!!!!! Comes with 50 hilarious frases.!

cuz remember you would just be following 343 and it would start talking to itself.

yes im well aware with the manerisms of 343 guilty spark, and yeah that would be great 8 or so people obnoxiously pressing that mouse button every 2 seconds, that wouldnt be annoying at all. it would be neat though. especially if it said something like "Perhapes we should be watching some competetitors with actuall skill? Hmm.", or other various insulting phrases (but too bad). but yeah i really like that monitor idea, you could have a variety, say some with blue lights, or red lights (like the monitors from halo 2 had a red "eye", or perhapes you could even be a sentinal, or a bug.

not a chance, vista isn't due out till late this year, and i doubt it will actually be out until january '07, with a simultaneous H2PC release.

2 Words: Customizable Warthogs...If you create a map, you can pimp the warthogs on the level...Kinda weak idea, but I'd love it. Like Halo in the Ghetto.

what? you want to give your warthog a new paint job and some classic rims? their really isnt much to customise, perhapes if there were warthogs with different types of wheels, but that would be kidnda weak too. interesting idea, but i dont see how it would work.

Me either, But it would be awesome...Rims are asking for too much, Just a paint job.

well if it were to be a paintjob i wouldnt be expecting blue flames or anything. if there were to be any thing like that i would have to fit into the halo universe, so maybe some camo skins would be kool.
