is there no blood in the halo 2 multiplayer? there is no blood anywhere in any of the movies! Players get mowed down yet there is no blood, they get thrown around with plasma swords and there is still no blood.
Also why hasnt bungie released any split screen multiplayer shots? all they have done so far is system link and xbox live! (full screen) what other graphical elements do you think will have to be removed in order to fit 4 player split screen (for example the lights in halo 1) I know there is blood in 1 player, but I have yet to see blood in multipalyer...and I know there is split screen and system link but why hasnt bungie released any screenshots?
also do you think the customizable emblems will be available in split screen or system link or xbox live? or all of them?

I can live with no blood, infact I would prefer no blood if blood slowed down the framerate

Blood might still be in the game. It is six months before the release date, after all. There will be 4 player split screen: don't worry.

As for the emblems, I'm not sure.

And, not to be an ass, but try to separate your thoughts into paragraphs and sentences.

I'm sure there's plenty of blood. There was some in last year's e3 demo. And what would be the point in showing a split-screen screen shot? It does not show as much in detail as a single full-screen shot. It's just not logical. I don't see why emblems would be functional in split-screen; but then, I do not see why they shouldn't be there anyway. Relax. You know there will be split-screen multiplayer. There's just not a productive reason show it.

I hope ur right..because every sight i have been to ..for instance best buy says that halo 2 is only 1 player...and also y havent they announced about split screen or system...it has only been xbox live.......the thing that made the 1st halo game great was the fact that it was soo easy to hook up with a bunch a buddies and play...but if u are wrong(u might not be)then halo 2 will not be great period.. unless for its single player. i dunno y they are not announcing halos campaign capabilities like co-op or its multiplayers capabilities BESIDES XBOX LIVE!

They probably didnt have blood in the E32K4 demo because they wanted to make it as smooth as possible, and sometimes too much blood can make the framerate choppy.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

The emblems are there to quickly identify who is where and what there situation is. This is still important for system link (speeds up the communication process).

Exactly, the emblems aren't just for show, they have a purpose. So I'd expect that they'll be in all modes of multiplay.

Geeze, people need to use some commom sense and chill the -blam!- out every once in awhile...

There will be co-op, split-screen, and system link.

Happy?

Also, why does there need to be blood? Will you not buy a game if you dont have the ability to jack off to the constant gore and mutilated men in it?

Blood really is not needed at all, especially if it slows down framerate...

Well, if you look at the screens, there is blood. But, very little of it. Maybe they had those effects "turned off" while making the demo or maybe not. Frankly, I don't care. As long as it has the Halo logo and the Halo name, I'm happy!
