Is there an alternite site where the 8 minute multiplayer video can be viewed because I am not an IGN "Insider" and consequently I can't view the 8 minute direct feed. Please let me know.

Well go to bungie.net, then go to Halo 2, then click on audio/video and scroll down and click on the e3 demo video to see it.

Man i cant wait for the game to come out now. I mean DUAL WEAPONS and bording on other vehicles that would be so frigin cool. I hope they give out a demo version for that level just so i could play it all the time. Nov.9 im gonna have to spend my summer anticipating the game that will make me cream my pants. i can already taste the gameplay.......*drool*.
Until then i will continue to worship the bungie gods and take a vow of silence until the game comes out.

I followed instructions and went to bungie's audio/video page for halo 2 and clicked on game footage, but the only thing they have from E3 is for last year's single player footage, my origonal question was whether or not there was a link to the 8 minute mulitplayer feed without having to be an IGN "Insider".

What they did not mention in the IGN deal that was in the singleplayer E3 thing last year was melee combos. Did they make the cut? I saw the sword, but it was not the kind of combo I was thinking of. The only part they mentioned is that when you dual-wield you cannot melee or throw grenades, they did not mention melee combos. It would be pretty sweet if you could have a couple SMGs and knock people around with one in each hand.

Just wondering

If ever there was a time to play Halo EVERYDAY would be that day!!

all I know is one thing.
you can have all the awsome graphics, cool wepons, tight vehichles, and a perfect team balance...

but UNLESS you can have FOUR player vs compatiblility on a single xbox( 16 person LAN w/ only 4 boxes)

UNLESS you have this in the game,

it will almost all have been in vain.(I'm sure single player would still be fun..)
Halo LAN is a way of life for me, I don't have xbox live and won't untill i get a better paying job. If it happens that I'll have to get 16 TVs together and 16 xboxes just to have a simple LAN with my friends... I'm going to get pissed!

alot of the newer games have done this, RBW 6 III for example. I was all excited! imagine my horror when I had to go on XBC any time I wanted to play with a friend or set up an extra tv im my room just to have a co'op match. this has been a growing problem with XBOX LIVE games and their so called multiplayer abillities.

if I cant play with 3 of my friends on a single xbox, not only will I be horrofied(along with many others, I'm sure) I will be exteamly let down by bungie to the point that.. well... I really don't know what i would do if this was to be the case.

Bungie, SkecthFactor, Frankie, someone official!!! please put my nightmares to rest and tell me this won't be a problem! PLEASE!!!

Is it me or does halo 2 have the posibility to ruin the original gameplay of halo, I mean i like how real its getting and everything but i think it would be stupid if the vehicles completely blew up and you couldnt use them again. And the duel weilding weapons, that sounds awsome during single player but in multiplayer you can take somone down in like 2 seconds, it could be better than the first one i dont know but deul weilding sounds like it could make the game awsome, or ruin it a little.

I have a few observations.

In the 8 min feed, there were a couple of icons that appeared when the guy had the rocket launcher. One was a blue one with dots, and the second one was a brown one that looked like it had a rocket silhouette on it. I wish I knew what those meant. I also wish I knew how the new UI (the shield and health meter up on top) worked, cuz the guy only got hit once by the Covie Max.

I also think its kinda cool that the vehicles explode so far/high when you blow them up. I don't know if you guys noticed, but that ghost and the warthog were flying all over the place :) Definitely cool. If Bungie puts more of these "themed" maps into the multiplayer, we're in for a treat. And just think, this is an otherwise "small" level made for (at most, i'm guessing) 4on4. Imagine 8on8 maps, and how expansive and awesome they could be! They might even have flyable pelicans to drop the marines in.

Hell, just adding the covies to the multiplayer mix opens the door to a whole slew of new scenario-like possibilities. Imagine an invasion on a control room, or a fight for a hill-top fortress, or a race to see who can get to the end of the map on flyable vehicles, and then battling back to the beginning. So many possibilities... The only thing left to ponder is how much more the special edition is going to cost... :)

yeah hopefully the special edition is not to much more expensive.

i am still trying to imagine how many people will actually be playing it on xbox live, it will suck for the people that dont have live because of all the kickass improvements and maps.

that would be kind of cool if halo 2 will have bots for multiplayer.

i wonder if u can do 4 players on the campaign - think it might be kind of cool.

I saw in the latest issue of xbox magazine that u can hold duel weapons. that would be cool but i mean 2 rocket launchers and 2 snipers is kind of insane and very cheap. They also said the levels are going to ber much bigger. If they are as big as what they say they are then damn on xbox live peiple are going to be trying to get 16 people on every server because anything else will be like impossible to find people.

What I DONT want are STATS too many stat freaks and alot of luster will be lost. It would suck because this game was so awesome and ifthere are any FANATICs(mua) that are stat freaks and all they will do is kick you out of the server if you beat them. the great CHAKA has spoken.

You know what sucks is that I cant see the NEW E3 2004 video. I cant go to IGN and see it because I'm not an insider and I cant go to Gamespot because I'm not a member so if someone could at least tell me what happand I would be very happy
