dang guys i meant my last halo 2 info post to spread the word on halo 2 not to be shut down. (F-U kia grunt you dont always have to be such an ass)
i work at gamestop and go to e3 everyyear first off. Second yes, halo 2 demo is closed to only media by appointment only. I stood by the exit door for one of the theaters for 2 hours to see if someone left early or didnt show up to play. I went in and got 2 friends in to watch. today I did the same thing for another 2 friends and it still worked, maybe if they post will you believe them.
-second now i have also played halo 2 at fanfest for another 30 minutes.
I waited in standby for 2 hours to get in.
Heres some stuff i didnt quite explain last thread. and i try to answer the questions too...ill do my best cause there so many... and ill be at e3 all day tom too...
1) Health is no longer it seems. ALl there is is a shield bar, you get shot-the shiled depletes then towards the end the shots you take get extra bloody( which is cool) then you die. IF you dont die it seems that your shields just recharge and thats that. No more health packs from what I played.
2) When I said the game is slower I mean how everything is, the units seem to run a little slower, it just has a slower pace. no too much of a noticable difference and once you get into it you wont even notice.
3) the chief jumps a lot higher, he can clear ghosts.
4) the needler is the -blam!- now. It basically has the smae fire rate as an smg. The needles travel a lot faster, and are still homing.
5) palsma sword is sick. Its scary to face one. you can lock onto someone about the distance of the top of a bloodgulch base and lunge for a one hit kill. or two hits with a side swing by pressing melee by stangind close to them.
6) there was no lag in the game what so ever.
7)My opinion: In multiplayer I believe that the graphics are turned down adn a lot of the animations are "dumbed down" I think this is to help accomodate for xbox live. The walls and stuff dont seemd as textured as the 8 min from last year and a lot of the explosions from grenades (especially plamas) dont have the same effect.
8) the walls in most places seem to be destructable. By the turrets if the warthog fires a missle all the walls in front crumble and disapear.
9) there was no sprinting.
10) no new grenades that i found. only covie weapons i found were the plasma sword, plasma rifle, and needler.
11)the ghost is the same as before but the boost is fast and you absolutely cant turn. cant board ghost with flag which i think sucks.
12)in the demo level there was no pistol. The new assault rife in zoom mode is pretty close to a pistol in accuracy and range. Plus is shots as fast as you can pull the trigger with singel shots. when its not zoomed if you just press trigger for a sec it does a 3 burst fire and if you hold down the trigger its automatic with bad recoil.
13) recoil will take some getting used too
14) BOARDING VEHICLES: I couldnt do it. I kept getting ran over. My friend did it a couple times on a ghost. Here are some cool points: The guy who gets his ride jacked took no dmg from the takeover. In fanfest the was a guy who started yelling that he knocked out a passanger from the warthog and said that he was riding with the enemy. But i didnt see it with my own eyes.
thats all i can think of right now... Fanfest was really fun this year my second year going. Everyone that went got to play halo 2 so if you dont belive me finally ( which you can all suck my coc k for bashing me so much) and read somone else thread that went to fanfest.
Thanks to bungie I meet the voice of guilty spark and sgt johnson. won a halo soundtrack which i already have. Ate some weird ass pizza and water( no soda?) had a great time playing halo 1 lan. and played halo 2 again for 30 minutes which by the way seems like 5 mintues when your in there.
the chic that was there that runs the bungie store ( alta i think her name was?) was really cute...I think im in love but i dont have the balls to talk to her:( she seems a littld old for me, probably married or something.
And I got a free red vs blue dvd.
All in all- really great night.
p.s. post questions -blam!- i might not of mentioned, and ill be on tom -after 11 pm those of you who get hostile when I dont answer in 3 hours or less- sorry! a holes
