To add to the whole broadband thing, i didnt have it for years until I convinced my parents in more ways than one to get it. First i told them/ showed them how god dame much faster it is than dial up and second that it was only 6 dollars more than AOL with dial up. I currently am using Verizon DSL w/ msn, and its fine cause i use aim to talk with friends. Plus my Xbox runs fine with it. So everyone out there who does not have it should use my valuable information to convince themselves to get it, or their parents whoever you may be with.

Ps. iv seen no problems with it, cable is faster but I have'nt seen a difference. Eventually i will convince my school to put an xbox w/ xbox live in every class room and have it hooked up to our massive T1 line. : )

What about the camouflage and overshield? Will they be factors in Halo 2?

  • 09.18.2004 8:15 AM PDT

In MP, you'll be able to control what kind of power up you have (camo, overshield, etc) and even how long it takes before they respawn. It'll be nice to have that much control over your games.

Will I be able to control how much I suck in Halo 2? That would be nice.
I can see it now: gloves that control your every thumb movement.

I would pwn.
I would pwn all.

But that's just a rumor :-P

Now, I may get called silly, retarted, or a newb. And I'm not going to argue with that. The fact is, the people at Bungie are really all pathological liars! In THE BRAIN!
Posted by: Frankie
NOTE: Bungie reserves the right to tell packs of lies whenever it chooses.

1. No "Halo 1.5"
Now let me just think... when halo was released on PC it was Halo v.1.0, right? And on Tuesday and v.1.05 update comes out right? So won't there eventually be Halo v.1.5?1/1/1?!?!?!

2. Only 16 lusers in multiplayer.
I can have like... 100 people on my MSN Messanger list, so why shouldn't we be able to play with 100 people at once, huh?

3.No Halo 2 fun for GameCube :( :( :(

Rumor Rant: This is just dumb. Seriously. Of all the rumors, this is the easiest one to disprove scientifically, while sitting on the toilet, armed only with a magnifying glass and a handbag.

Sir, that is not a handbag you are holding... it is a small purple GameCube! I hope you don't intend to wipe with it...

PS. When is Bungie going to release Amped 3?!?!?1/

Dragon here... I am a really big fan of halo. and im just pulsating with energy to just run into the closest eb store beat the guy up and get a copy of Halo2 but its not out yet,,,, :( . Ive just read the Rumour eliminators..and i must say i am a little disapointed with how the game might be turning out...i mean dont get me wrong...Halo 2 is gonna be one of the best games ever made! but u wonder about the modes, objects, styles of play and all the other things it has to offer. i know Frankie probably wont read this but ill write it anyway. Ive had some awesome times playing the campaign on Halo - its an awesome experience, and eventually u do get bored of it..such is life. and wen i go over to the multiplayer i realise there is no one here except one spartan bored of playing the main game. i agree with all the users who are disapointed with the no bots issue. and i have to say that i understand where both the users for and against bots are coming from. i agree that bots can suck sometimes but wat about if u have some friends over...say 4? and u guys have been going at eachother for hours and it just got boring...coz its the same thing over and over again. if u had bots u and ur mates would be busy for another few hours. and Bots dont just apply to multiplayer but to single player too. i mean yeah bots should be in for ppl who dont have live or close friends or anything like that.. but it could be for single player aswell. like the player has beaten the campaign dozens of times and is relatively bored coz u know where the enemies are gonna be and how to deal with them.. and theres really no surprise in wats gonna happen..and if they wanted to play multiplayer they cant do anything coz theres no bots...yeah ofcourse they could go to live and verse some player online. but it doesnt compare. and lets not forget about the 4 player co op campaign, i mean wat an awesome idea! and with all the ppl "but it cant work coz the players will just domniate and kill everything and it will be to easy!" well heres a news flash for u...Make a difficulty higher than Legendary just for the multiplayer purposes!! DID U THINK OF THAT!? probably not.. and dont get me wrong again... i love bungie ..their awesome! but wen they say that they are gonna make the multiplayer side of it great...they should take into account everything that is offered in games with good multiplayer options. Such as perfect Dark now that was an awesome game with awesome Multiplayer!. I know i wont be able to change the way Halo 2 is gonna end up..but i think that Bungie should analyse the multiplayer capabilites of games who have great multiplayer and take into account on how it works for the player, Everything including Bots to the 4 player Co op to any other mode involving live - system link or anything else. I believe that Bots would have been a great addition to the game, same with the extra players for Co op missions - but if Bungie believes that this is the way Halo 2 should go then so be it...they are making it after all,,, but i believe they said that to get the most enjoyable experience out of multiplayer we should listen to the gamer's feedback and perhaps use them in the game, that wasnt word by word of wat they said but its about 70% and well they havent seemed to do that to much...but they have been doing a excellent job..and Halo 2 will still be one of the best games, but it could have been even better. I believe they should have added Bots. I believe they should have added 4 player co op and make a harder difficulty than Legendary just for the multiplayer. All i can say is that i hope they some how read this and perhaps try to add them in. it would make all the difference.
But thanks for clearing up all the rumours anyway Frankie...tell the guys at Bungie they're doing a great job and i hope the make one hell of a kick ass - anti son of a -blam!- stick game!

Cheers - Long Live Halo 2 and Bungie!

Have a good one.

Okay, don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Halo. There's alot of great things about the game, with few bad things. For example, if you don't have a bunch of friends system linked, you can't really play multiplayer. The campaign is great, and I'm sure Halo 2's campaign will be better. But you can only play it so many times.
Wouldn't it be fun to sit there with your friend and verse like 4 or 5 bots on capture the flag? Or just practicing your sniping on a bunch of moving targets? I loved having bots in games like Perfect Dark (which has tons of features). Bungie should have played that game for a month before working on Halo 2.
OKAY getting to the point: There is no reason they shouldn't put bots in the game. Hell, they've been working on it for like 3 damn years. Everyone thought there was going to be bots in this game because, IT MAKES SENSE. That's what the fans wanted. And people who don't have x-box live will have to do the same thing as halo one, try to find a bunch of friends which is easier said then done. You know how it is, finding a day everyone isn't working.
I will have x-box live, but I'm still mad about the no bots. Mostly because there's a whole LOT of idiots on x-box live. Trust me. And I'm not always gonna be in the mood to play against a bunch of white 14 year olds who think they're black.
Sometimes it's better to play against a brainless bot instead of a brainless human, cuz at least the bot doesn't talk. Anyone agree?? WE DESERVED BOTS!

Well, it's written in the Rumor Busters that Microsoft owns Bungie, and Microsoft has a bad habit of deciding what we are getting without asking us.
I play UT2004 sometimes, and only because it has BOTS.
You can choose how many BOTS you want and skill level of BOTS, among other settings.
Like I said before, Halo is played on many more PC's than on Xbox's, so maybe they can release a differnt version for PC's..No MP but with BOTS.
But if the rumors are true, looks like we'll have to wait until 2008 for Halo 3, for BOTS and maybe for another PC version.
It's all Microsofts fault...AGAIN!!!

Well.... DStone and Tracer Ghost..all we can do is wait and see. U two made some good points. It makes u wonder if they do pay attention to wat the gamers want?. Well for now lets just hope our messages get read and hopefully something miraculous will happen and Halo 2 will have Bots and all the rest! . So now we wait ..impatiently for the date November 9,,,, EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! well we'll be the judge of that!

Plus, it's their game. They could but in dual wielding teletubbies that kill everything in sight for the last fight if they wanted, and it would still be ok. Why? Because their game is their game. I say let 'em make it how they want just go with it.

Happy sales, Bungie.

Yeah, I just had to get all that off my chest, mostly cuz I've been thinking about bots for like the past 6 months. I understand that it's their game, and if it wasn't hyped up so much as being the best ever it wouldn't have been such a big deal to not have any bots. Though, it's still gonna be badass. I would say they should create a bot add on and put it on like a demo disc or something, but they never would cuz they wouldn't make enough money off of it. BUT if they want to please their fans even more they would.
