Please answer as many as you can.

1) Will all the vehicles from the single player campaign be available in multiplayer? dido for weapons? Notice I didn't ask what vehicles or weapons, so it's a fair question.

2) Did you include bloodgulch as one of the maps in Halo 2 multiplayer?

3) Will there be online co-op?

4) Please elaborate on the whole "holding down a button to team speak" thing.
Will we really have to hold a button down to take to our teams?

5) How destructable will the environments be? 30%, 40%. If you don't know guess.

6) The one thing that I kept noticing with all the previews that I read was that no one talked about cool moments they had when they where playing, it was always the exact same info. What are some cool moments are you especially proub of. Cause there's not much better than pulling off on awsome move. I have a million from Halo, one time I was playing Capture the flag and a friend was coming with a ghost, he was coming at me so I ducked and he just missed me while I tosed a grenade where his ghost landed and kill him, then I fired a rockey at another friends ghost and as is flew through the air at me the timer went up and I won, but the ghost kept coming and killed me like half a second after I won. It was awsome.

reguarding the auto aim or, "the aim sensitivity decreasing when the crosshair is on the enemy", will that be in Halo 2, the same as Halo, or have a lower sensitivity than Halo did?

* Can we please have a Master Chief voicemask on XBOX LIVE?* How about a Grunt or Jackal Voice?* Cortana?* In Halo:CE, there were only 2 levels out of 13 that allowed vehicles. That's only 15.3846154% of all the multi-player levels. What percentage of the MP levels in Halo 2 can we use vehicles?* Will there be settings for time of day/weather?* Are the other variations of the Warthog (Snow tracks, troop transport, army camo, etc.) still in the game?* Fill in the blank: Rocket Lancher + Warthog = Rocket Warthog. _____ + Warthog = Gauss Rifle Warthog as seen at E3 2003. I mean, can we use that weapon NOT on the Hog?

Well, the question I really want to ask is...system link co-op, but since that has to do with campaign mode! So I guess the only other question I have is now that vehicles are destructable, will they respawn in MP and can you set the repawn time. I ask this because I know a lot of people like to make movies using MP, and it would be really cool to see what they can come up with now that the odds are somewhat stacked against them. Thank you so much for creating such a great game and what looks like an even greater sequel.

How long are the levels supposed to be? I heard that the smallest Halo 2 level will be 4 times bigger than Assault on the Control Room.

Also, are there going to be save points this time, for singleplayer AND co-op, because if the levels ARE going to be that big, PLEASE include save points, please bungie....

Thanks

There will still be little eggs in the game right?

And, will there be random weather like in GTA and if there is, will it affect gameplay?

i read in some of the hands on's that you can create your own skin and do the color's and icon as you see fit. is this true? and if so when i am playing a 16player game will i keep those colors or would my color reflect whatever team i am on, i.e. red or blue?
also:
will we ever see weapons or skins or vehicles as possible dlc somewhere down the line? thanks!!

In regards to the movie trailer, where it had a bunch of short clips of old footage, and the new footage of the phantoms flying and the cheif doing his thing. Was that in game? You (frankie) said they did change some things just for it, but is that basically what a halo 2 cutscene look like as apposed to E3 03?


And have we seen you're favorite multiplayer map yet?

Thanks guys for taking time out for questions (although after reading most people's, they didnt read the rules)

(1) Will there be the option to set up dedicated servers for Official and/or Non-Official matches.

(2) How many people can be assigned to a "party" and taken from game to game.

(3) Does the "Leader" of the room have the ability to kick people (i.e. cheaters, team killers, etc.)

Reguarding the LIMITED EDITION DVD

1- Is it gonna have the "Gamers story / fun moments Section", like stories that happened when us were playing the first Halo? I reckon there was an email from Bungie for us to send our stories, at least weird things that happened while playing it.

2- Is the Dvd a real Dvd or is it like a Disc that the xbox can read WITHOUT the DVD accessory?

3- Can Marty O Donnell Send me his Halo2 Soundtrack lol ;), just kidding, Be sure to HUG him for he is one of the most amazing creative person i ever got to hear in a videogame, his work is priceless, Thumbs UP to him.

All the best for you guys
