How does dual-wield reloading work? Do they both reload, or the one with the lowest ammo, or something else?

I've noticed that you can fall considerably without instantly dieing.
How far do u have to fall before you die?

Can you estimate the number of maps that will be in the game. Say if dont want to give out exact numbers, will it be near 10 or near 20. (It can be 24 maps, and it still will be round to 20)

Hey guys,
In the reports following the original teaser trailer, features such as melee combos and sprinting were mentioned. The melee combo was featured in the E3 '03 demo, but other than that, these features have not been mentioned in any other reports. Are they still in the game, or were they ditched along with the ATV?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but...

With the advent of Xbox Live support being included in Halo 2, chances are that a game update will be "pushed" to consoles (maybe not even for a year after release, but maybe an update to fix something Microsoft-related.) These updates have the tendency to break LAN support with users of different versions (MechAssault and Crimson Skies come to mind.)

What are your plans for managing this, so that System Link games don't all rely on everyone's console having been on Live to download patches? (For the record, I'm sure the game won't *need* these updates, but MechAssault and the like have been patched for what seems to be corporate, anti-piracy, anti-modding reasons.)

I was a first wave Xbox LIVE Beta Tester
My clan and I were on the March '05 Issue of OXM
I and all my clanmates were Halo 3 Beta Testers

Can we disabled power ups in a multiplayer game, so that there's no overshields or invisibility?

After Halo 2 releases, will ilovebees.com return to its normal state?...I rather liked that site before it became adulterated by all that Halo crap.

1. How many guests can you bring onto live through your account for Halo 2.
2. How customizable are ammo/weapon/vehicle inclusion and placing.
3. Will Halo 2 have the flexibility of Halo when comparing multiplayer level sizes and gametypes suited for those levels?

4. How will the experience centered live component take into account those who have mastered the first game? eg. Everyone starting as a new player, some of those "new" players have the skills to win from the start, while others will have to build them.

5. Is there actually a graphical change when you are turned by an explosion? I found myself shooting a wall besides me when I was turned, even though I had been looking straight at my opponent.

All for now, this Q&A was a great idea.

has the game speed changed any? movement speed, ie the difference between halo1 and unreal are drastically different.

im wondering because i know some people who get motion sickness in unreal but are able to play halo.

also, on live.. how will guests be handled? will they get their own name and will they have their stats tracked?

thanks!

1. Will there be a co-op mode online through XBL (would kick ass for my buddy that just moved 2 hours away =( ....)

2. Is there ANY way possible you could make a chatroom and play the compain at the same time, or like watch your friend play the game and talk to him. That'd be cool if he wanted to show you a glitch or how to do something.

3. When are the avatar contest winners gettin there prizes ; ) (take your time, I'm just joking..thought after seeing the new bungie,net shirt I do want that thing like theres no tommorrow, the smoking SMG shirt made me...get my keyboard wet...jk..)


Tanks for taking the time to actualy sit down and answer the questions, you guys truley are the fan's company.
