What happens if a lot of the questions out there could be answered by fans and save Sketch and Frankie the trouble? Maybe a thread should be opened for "stuff you should have already known"... like the ATV already being out, bots already confirmed out, Shade already in the Beta.... and Bungie's dozens and dozens of statements about hating when people ask about the exact numbers of things (weapons, vehicles...)

NOTE: There are already Bungie statements on Bots, co-op, and a dozen other things. Please READ AROUND more before you post here. 90% of the questions so far have been covered elsewhere or aren't likely to be covered here, given Frankie and Sketch's general policy on these things. [I could be wrong...]

Anyway, I think I have a few good questions that are appropriate for answerization... [if they've been mentioned before, consider it popular request]

1-What's your farorite gun (or dual combo) so far and why?
2-What's your favorite multiplayer mode so far and why?
3-If you could set the Halo internet community down and drill one thing into its head- bust a specific rumor, force people to quit asking a certain question, etc- what would it be?

On xbox live you start the game with proximity voice . . . what is the range of proximity voice and why don't you start out with team voice instead (since you would be talking some trash but making more plans with your team, asking where people are, asking someone to cover your back and that you just talk to your team more in general)

Will there be a flying vehicle that can carry more than one person, and can have people fire off it in MP? Such as the Pelican with a chaingun?

You guys rock

Thanks for organizing this, you guys are great!!! I'd like to know if you can have your own color scheme while playing with your clan in Team Slayer, for example a team mate using black and red and another one using black and white. I ask this because in my case it would simplify the ranking system we use, it's based on colors. Thanks a lot!!!

Did Cass Elliot choke on a chicken bone?

Who was the man behind the grassy knoll?

Do you think its kinda of creepy that there are pre-pubic kids who are obsessed with every little detail? Even when that detail is a lie (i.e. multiplier bots, etc (Like dan raTHer obsessed))

Is Halo 2 going to be playable while intoxicated (for some that means 1 smirnoph, and for true players, jager bombs)? This is a main concern because this is how I learned to play Halo and would like to pass on that practice to the 2nd one.

1) How can I ask this without saying the "C" word... hmmm... Will co-op be available over Live?

2) Yes or no, is there a reason the Hunters were left out of the Media Kit character roster?

3) Will com modes on Live be able to be inverted? (team com as default vs. vicinity)

4) Has anyone kept statistics on the average number of pounds/gallons of snack goodness consumed by Bungie on a weekly basis? Cross-referenced with Alta's hair color? Charts please!

5) Has work on the Halo 2 novelization begun?

6) Besides stats reported by the software, what kind of information, if any, was sought from the players themselves during the beta? Whose job was it to grok the mountain of data?

7) Without giving anything away, how many items/locations/features in the E3 and Beta demonstrators have so far gone unfound and unreported that you know of? Any at all?

8) Was the ability to lie prone and/or crawl (for sniping, hiding, creeping) ever discussed? If so, why was it rejected?

9) This may have been covered before, but what is the internal RTM date... the date where it's "done" and no more changes can be made?

10) Your Live ranking system.... will those of us doomed to the lower ranks constantly be encountering new but vastly superior opponents as they're earning xp and rising through the ranks? And if it's truly a bell-curve, will the top-ranked players get bored of playing the same few people in ranked games?

How destructable is the scorp tank? I noticed the grating from the driver seat is gone so sniping the person out of the tank isn't an option. How exactly are you supposed to defeat a tank now?

Two questions:

With the ranking system will there be a handicap system so that players of different abilities can play a more competive match?

Can the tanks turret move independantly of the body of the tank i.e. shoot to the left/right/backwards while the tank moves forward?

Thanks

I've heard that it will now be possible to aim and fire in the Scorpion, while moving in a different direction (to strafe, basically).

But, will it also be possible for a teammate to man the turret, allowing the driver to focus solely on driving and maneuvering the tank?

1. How much in the way of big surprises should we expect (outside of plot) ?

2. Is Bungie interested in hiring an architect with mad computer skills?

A single good question:

Y the -blam!- no one is answering the questions?

  • 09.17.2004 12:53 PM PDT

When do you guys expect the game to go gold, and the day or night it does go gold what kinid of things do you have planned? Any parties, things like that?

  • 09.17.2004 12:53 PM PDT

They will probably be answered when the forum clock (Posted: 9/17/2004 '12:49:20 PM') hits 2 PM. And I would like to wish them good luck with all these questions!
