I've played my share of Halo 2 multiplayer and the IGN recap is a perfect account of how I felt those first few games. (well, the good parts at least, but then again, maybe I am a little biased =) Hell, who am I kidding, I get giddy as a schoolgirl every time I play it.

November 9th will be here before we know it and we can ALL play together. In the meantime, enjoy the new screens and stay tuned to Bungie.net for more info!

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Dear lord..I just filled the cup.

I really can't wait for this game to come out, I just have one single question so far out of everything I just read at IGN... when your vehicle gets wrecked, are you not able to use it for the rest of the game? If not, it seems like all the cool new features that would make this game an instant classic would be thrown down the drain, all because someone can just blow the $#@! out of your warthog in the first few minutes of the game.Then again, I could totally be wrong. It might actually be more of a strategy thing than anything else. Either way, I'll be playing this game 24-7!

we'll see how strong they are. maybe its a feature that can be disabled, sounds cooler than sin though, plus you can always sprint now with the new feature.

Think about it this way: According to the guys at IGN, the vehicles appear to have two different levels of damage--one that stuns you if your shields are intact, but leaves the vehicle damaged, the second that creates a small nuke-like explosion (thier words, not mine), taking out everyone in a certain radius around the vehicle. Kamikaze run, anyone?
If I'll be able to respawn and sprint across the map, I'd be willing to drive my 'hog into a group of enemies (Covies, humans, whatever) and have my teammate drop a rocket into my backseat to waste the lot of them.
You've all been warned. =))

It is going to be great to be able to be an elite and use the human weapons. Halo 2 seems to be pure genius and everything I have ever wanted. I cant see myself ever doing anything productive again once it comes out.

There has naturally been talk of the Xbox Live support for Halo 2, but what about split screen system link LAN games? That is a big thing in terms of social gaming (Well it is for me and my mates anyway. Has this been dumped in favour of Xbox Live? If so there'll be a lot a disappointed people that don't have Broadband...

The IGN article says that all of the co-op modes will be intact. heres the direct quote:
"Oh, we're doing something infinitely cooler." For those who truly want to sit on a couch with a buddy, split-screen and System Link will still be there. The new addition, of course, is Live play.


I hope there will be system link CO-OP

yes LORD

I can't wait for Halo 2, all I can do is think about it 24-7, and that story I read at IGN just made me want Halo 2 in my hands even more. I know Bungie is doing a great job at making this game and I know it will turn out great. It don't matter if I'm sleeping, at school, or anything else, I'm stil thinking about that Elite Sword all the time! Until it comes out I will have to beat Halo a zillion more times just to get my mind off of this great game of the year upcoming game.

Awesome. The Zanzibar episode reminds me of something like a scenario from UT or TFC. I kinda like that though.

But c'mon: what game allows you to have such a variety of dual Welded weapons?

There's only one wish now: bring back the Dual Shotgun mode
That or make a PC version sometime between now and two years.

Man I just cant wait. I mean you got dual weilding weapons, energy swords, elite model for multiplayer, vehicul damage, and a host of new maps. Get serious if you have not pre-ordered it yet you are out of your -blaming!- minds. I am going to pre-order it but I'm flat broke. Maybe next month?
