2. Does the M.C. move faster in halo 2 than in halo 1 as far as walking speed goes?

3. What's the deal with the new health/shield system?

4. When the master chief falls from a high place in multiplayer does it not hurt him anymore?

5. Is bungie going to have dedicated servers for halo 2?

1.) Is peaking around corners still in?
2.) I know there are different mounted weapons for the Warthog (Gauss,Chaingun,etc.), but are the Jungle warthog, Snow Hog w/treads, and the Troop hog still in?
3.) Any memorable/humorous things that have happened within Bungie not related to the game that you'd like to share?

Thanks alot for doing this, just goes to show how close Bungie is with it's fan base.

Is it too late to include, at the end of the single player campaign, a video showing Master Chief peeing on a PS2? That would be too sweet. If you take this idea and use it please remember me and send me my royalties. Thanks. Hehe! ;-)

What is the zoom amount on the Covanent Sniper Rifle?
Would it be possible to make an insignia and transfer it to the game?
Do you have Cubicles?
Can you get ribs from the Cafeteria?

Ripper
Sorry if these are repeat questions. I'm barely making this on the 11th hour.
BTW, Thanks for doing this, I really appreciate the ethic of Bungie as a whole.

I tried to edit my original post, but for some reason could not. Anyways; I was curious about the saved films option in the beta.

Will this be in the final game; or was it something simply for developement purposes? Is including it in the game even under consideration?

Another question somewhat related too my first: Will system link co-op be an option?

wow, this many pages and the thing hasnt even begun yet...

my question portains to the screens released at the start of e3 2k4. in the zanzibar batch, there was a screen of the master chief and a few ODSTs. was this shot posed just for a nice screen, or will multiplayerfeature the ODSTs in some fashion?

thanks for wading through all these posts to answer mine :D

Ok im answering some of these ?s. I know that wat i am going 2 say is true cause ive read the stories from bungie. There is no duel weilding plasma swords, there is no more sprinting and there is no parry for deflecting plasma sword attacks

Will there be bots in the multiplayer? Just asking seeing as the NPC in story mode have been give far more advanced AI.

What know that you can be either elite or Master cheif in multi but can you be a grunt or a jackel or a brute? What about a regular marine? Will there be differencs between them?

I know there will be live play but will there still be system link?

Whats the official drink of bungie? Food?

Anychance you'd give me a development xbox ;) (had to ask)

If you could shout anyone in the head who would it be??

What programming languages was Halo 2 written in? Did you use a scripting language?

Would you give me a $100 dollars?

What hacks or tricks did you do that you didn't think were possible on the Xbox?

Can I have $50?

How many hours of sleep have you gotten since crunch time started? Ever fall asleep at you workstation?

What had you hoped would be Halo2 that isn't?

Any secret projects we should no about?

What was the Pheonix game?

What had you hoped would not make it into halo 2?

Any easter eggs like the fortune egg?

Can I have a job? Do you need a resident fanboy? i'll work for a Bottle of Coke and a pizza a week!

Any people/gods/mob bosses/slave drivers you would like to thank for making halo 2 possible?

What does ilovebees have to do with halo 2?

I'm going to shutup now, but I'll be back w/ more questions latter.

I don't know if this qualifies as a campaign question, but it's really the only thing I would like answered about HALO2. Are my girlfriend and I going to be able to play Co-op together on two seperate X boxes? We've been hoping for this since HALO c.e came out and are dying to know. Thanks guys.

Awesome questions! Make the games a little more than a race for overshield camo and rockets. Also I would LOVE to know if you are going to be able to have more than 2 teams in any game type?

3. Questions about life inside Bungie, the final crunch, Alta's haircut, the Beta, etc.. are all fair game.


regarding the Crunch, who on the Bungie team snores the loudest?

Alright, here's my question, which may or may not have been answered someplace I havent read yet:

Will we be able to toggle destructable vehicles in MP matches? I realize this adds more realism to the game, but it'd be nice for tricking, etc (though destructable vehicles could make even more interesting tricks).
