I'm just curious how serious you two are. It must be (serious) with Hawaiian vacation plans and all. Maybe Frankie will pop the big question. But anyway,

My question:

Nades - Capacity, still 4 conventional and 4 Covenant?

Finally, when the project is complete, what is the first thing you will do in your spare time? (sleep, watch TiVo'd episodes of Will and Grace, play steamy racquetball, etc.)

Is there the possibilty of turning the damge to a warthog off? And the the tracking of the rocket off too? So basically can you customize those sorts of things.

SWEET! It's question time! Here are my questions:
1.I heard that the sniper rifle had recoil now and thats a good thing. My question is are there going to recoil for ALL weapons in halo2? And if so is the recoil going to affect the game majorly?
2.Is there going to be a special weapon set that allows ALL weapons to be dual wealded? eg. Rocket launcher, plasma swords, sniper rifles. And if so, will the setting have to be unlocked?
3. Lastly, I heard that you will be able to jump into the passenger side of a Hog' when your enemy is driving, so when you jumo in can you throw grenades and such at the driver, or is it going to be like halo1 and the shots go right through the driver? (This question applys to all multi-person vehicles.)

Thanks for your time.

2. Did the prizes for the Avatar contest every get sent out?

I guess this is where you post the questions...
Okay, here's mine: Will there still be a 'Boxer' controll scheme with the addition of duel-weilding? Please tell me that there is.

Same question. In addition, if Boxer is still an option in the control settings so that melee is mapped to the left trigger, moving the grenade function to one of the face buttons - will the left trigger default back to the left-handed weapon when duel-weilding or will we have to hit the grenade-mapped face button to fire the left-handed weapon?

  • 09.17.2004 12:05 PM PDT

I'm alone, where is my microphone.

Will this game kick ass?

This will be the best update yet! Anyway I saw on a website that the plasma rifle will have a special melee attack that makes a blade pop out of the muzzle. Is this true? If so what other cool melee attacks can you tell us about? Also how many people can be on one xbox on live? I've heard that you can have up to 4.

Okay, I have a few questions concerning multiplayer mode.

With the ability to Dual Wield the Plasma Pistol, will it become the god weapon? What I mean is, without health, if a pistol pops someone's shield, then the next bolt hits, aren't they pretty much dead?

With the Clan system, will you be able to create a Clan if someone has already made it? My friends and I (Team ODST) can be easily changed into something else, but it's a popular name, apparently. I'm just concerned that we won't be able to claim our name.

Another Clan question. With the armor customizations (Love that, by the way/brown nose) and the apparent team colors, will that effect the clan's member's colors during Clan games? What I mean is, if a Clan's colors are black, white, green, and... pink, will all of their armor colors become that? Will it change the color of their flag during CTF?

And, of course, will Blood Gulch and the classics be returning?

One last thing. I read something about downloadable content on one of the write ups, I think. I have Live, but my friends dont. Assuming you can, if one of us downloaded a map over live, and we system linked a game, would they still be able to play it?

Thanks if you answer my questions.

Actually, thanks anyway. Bungie rules. Want to get a job there some day. (/kiss up)

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

Question: To what degree will we be able to edit gametypes in Multiplayer? For example, will be be able to specify different combinations of vehicles, i.e. Chaingun 'Hogs and Ghosts only, or Scorpions and Banshees only, and etc.? Or will it be more akin to Halo: Combat Evolved?

Also: Should we wear boxers, briefs, or "go commando" whilst playing Halo 2 Multiplayer?

Thanks Guys. The degree to which you rock is impossible to calculate in human terms.

How many multiplayer levels will be returning from Halo 1, and since we all know at least one is coming back (thanks to the fine folks at Rooster Teeth), will they be carbon copies, simply look different, or be physically altered?

What goes into the art side of the game and advertising?

What has held up the 'Working in bungie:Art' article/When may it be near completion?

Anything you can possibly tell me about the art side of bungie in general.

How many whiteboards do you have in the studios and how many of them are used primarily to write mike is a tool (or other tom-foolery.)?

Does everyone at bungie have naturally colored hair or do some of you have purple/green hair (Or scalps in Frankie's case ;) )?

Will you guys be playing H2 online when it comes out and will we be aware if we are playing with one of you or any of you?

Will things like the beam rifle and brute shot have cooler names like Astro-Ass-Blaster on release? If so are you allowed to release that kind of information? If so what are they?

Will there be a bonus song on the soundtrack named Astro-Ass-Blaster? And does frankie enjoy consonance?

Besides stats will there be more major interaction between Xbox Live and Bungie.net on release or anytime after?

Can you describe in more detail the system for making in game clan logos and armor decorations?

Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing anything on art in this update. :)

And frankie, your hair (or rather lack thereof) is awesome.
