Hi SketchFactor and Frankie ;)
I have 2 questions:
1) Is Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol still freezing the oponent like in Halo1?

2) Will maps like Damnation, HeH, Battle Creek or Wizard return in Halo1?

When you destroy a piece of environment in the game, does it stay destroyed until the end of the game or respawn? How long do bullet holes stay in the level before they disapear? will they disapear?

Thank you Bungie

I was a first wave Xbox LIVE Beta Tester
My clan and I were on the March '05 Issue of OXM

Can you have just one player play in Multiplayer offline. So he could just fool around in the Multiplayer maps? That would be cool.

Probably been asked but, you said that you would have something fun for people who don't have live. What is it or at least give us a hint as to wlhat it is.


Frankie and Sketch, I'll take this one for you. I think I know the answer...

Halifax, the fun thing that H2 will have for people if they don't have Live is... wait for it... SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN MODE!

Umm. Thats kinda the point of them making the game is for the story to keep on going. I was talking more along the lines of multiplayer since that has a lot more in common with xbox live.

I've noticed that the only variations of the warthog discussed recently have been the standard and rocket varieties. I remember early in the development of the game there was talk of a transport hog, snow hog, jungle hog, and ATV. Will those be included, or have they been scrapped?

Can you simply answer that what you haven't discussed about the game ( in multiplayer), is the good stuff, in other words, are you saving to tell the best for last? A yes or no.

So far everything that is known about the game is awesome, but i have a feeling that you guys are just planning a very nice suprise on November 9th. Please don't dissapoint me.

1. About the most recent Beta, percentage-wise, how close is the beta to the final version?

2. Will the Plasma weapons, at least the Pistol and Rifle, have the small stun effect like in Halo CE?

3. I know this is annoying to hear about, but I have a question about the Health/Shield thing. How many hits exactly does it take to get killed after shields are down? Are you just not showing the 8 bars of health, or is it less than Halo CE?

im not sure if this has been asked, in Halo CE the charged Plasma Pistol took of the shield in one go. Now that there is only shield and no Health Bar does that mean the Plasma pistol can effectivly kill in one shot or has this feature bin removed?

"What language is Halo 2 programmed in? "

I'm almost positive that the only language that the Xbox Developers Kit supports is C++. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.

Where is the Soul?
I have made my life's sole purpose to find the Disembodied Soul and return it to the wild where it belongs. It has disappeared from the depths of Bungie.net and perhaps possibly crawled out the hole you have in your fence.
When it is found, I shall give Soul a home in my Soul Jar, and offer it's hospitality. I promise to keep Soul safe and sound so he can never be lost again.

The appropriate question is, "When the hell am I?"

Ok, two questions:
1) Halo 2 is going to be the best thing to play EVER. But if you get pooped after an 18-hour marathon, can you watch others play in an Observe mode? If so, I'll never turn off my Xbox again!

2) Will the answers you provide during this Q&A be posted later, like a news update? I may not get to log on for a couple days... :(

3) Do you realize that your contribution to society is to make millions of people lose their jobs, their girlfriends, and all contact with the outside world? (That's a compliment btw!!).

I know I can't count.
