One More Question:

Will there be support for transferring player profiles from one Xbox to another over a System Link or use a Profile from one Xbox on another over System Link? It gets old having to create new profiles and update old ones if you are playing on a new (or new-to-you) Xbox.

Thanks again!

-When you, Frankie, spoke of Health in the Carney Hole, what does this Health conrtibute to, sense there is no Health bar anymore? More Shield?

-When do you see Halo 2 going Gold?

-Have you guys had any time to play/research any upcoming xbox games that have potential for the number TWO selling xbox game this Holiday season? If so, which games are you anticipating?

This is extremely important to me, as well as I'm sure many other people:

Will Motion Tracking be an option in mulitplayer ranked games, or will it always be enabled, or will it always be disabled?

Personally, I think Motion Tracking is one of the worst things in the Multiplayer. If you left it out, I would DEFINITELY not be disappointed.

Thanks guys!

Will their be level boundaries? Or secret areas you can access by doing stunts and so on, like in Halo?

R.I.P. Halo Movie and all of the unseen awesomeness.

Will there be so type of kill score in your Halo 2 profile? Like for multi player kills and deaths, ect. And if it will be there will it be for Co-op and Campain?

Why oh why do we have to hold the white button to team speak? To me it really slowls the game having to take your thumb off of your right thumbstick *aimer thumbstick i might add* and hold that lousy button to talk to your team. Granted proxy is cool and all but it will make conversatoin and teamwork much more slow and less used... for example on Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow when ever you are playing a team based game, when you speak all of your team can hear you *no buttons needed* but on FFA gametype it goes by proximity *breathing and being noisy can give you away like real life*.
All i ask is WHY would you want to put a dull on the teamwork and communicating by taking the few seconds that could mean your death to simply tell someone "someone is making a run for our flag"...
i doubt you'll be able to change this now so all i ask is for a simple explination as to why we have to hold the white button to talk (or will there be an option to set it to "toggle" or are you able to set team speak to your default chat while setting your proxy chat to the white button)

Peace

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I can't be arsed to read all of the posts, so here goes:

Will there be a classic gametype available? e.g. classic weapons, maps and vehicles

And if so, will the Assault Rifle be available in them, and will there be a scoped pistol for that gametype?

Will there be possible multiple teams in team slayer or CTF and if so, how do the levels configure for team bases?

Former, CSG, Contract Environment Artist for Bungie Studios

How does the Custom logo thing work? Can we create something on the computer and send it to the xbox or is there a vector graphics creator in the game? Are we limited to certain sizes and amounts of colors? Are there layers?

On a side note, have you played my Halo CE level, New Mombasa Classic? What did you think? Can I have a job? ; )

heh. Good luck and thanks for the update this week, Sketch and Frankie. Here's my questions:

- Have you guys made any major changes to the multiplayer gameplay?

- Around how many playable vehicles and weapons can we expect to use in multiplayer?

- What color did Alta end up dying her hair after her weekly update?

I think that's all. 17 pages of posts so far as I'm typing this. eep.

Thanks.

4 Q's.

1. If I were to aim the sniper directly at the head of someone in a warthog, and he is on the other side of the windshield, when I shoot will the bullet break through the glass and kill him in one hit to the head, or will the sniper bullet just break the glass and not do any or much damage to the guy behind the glass at all? (Hope this question was legible)

2. Is the melee of the brute shot fatal or near fatal? Cause that blade looks nasty!

3. If a grenade (frag, plasma or both) blows up and there is another one near it, will the other one blow up with it for a bigger blast, or will the second one be proppeled into the air like in Halo?

4. If someone managed to propel the tire of a warthog into the air and it hits me, will I get killed by it....and possibly get a funny message like "you were smashed by a flying tire" or something?


Thankyou and I hope that you can answer at least one of em :)

-Will certain MP Maps from Halo:CE be returning to Halo 2? If so, have they been tweaked or added to?

-How many NEW MP Maps are there that we have not seen yet? (Just a number)

-On Xbox Live, when choosing your profile that you'll be playing as, will it be like Unreal Championship where you could type in anything for your name, and whatever that was would be what was seen by other players or will you just be represented as your gamertag? In other words can we have multiple profiles that dont necessarily have to be titled as our Gamertag?

Hey thanks for the oppurtunity

Anywho...I just wanted to know what the carbine's reticle looks like...or the brute shot


If you dont like that question, then how about this...

Was the concept of multiplayer elites in your attention during halo 1? If so why did you not put them in the game?
