I disagree with the healthbar thing but other than that it all seems like it would be a good idea, and the hole VIOP thing that will of course be in there but I don't think may people will be using it anyway.

H2 is a completely different game from H1, in H1, gameplay was more sedated, you took your time traversing the rather large maps and taking careful, measured actions. In H2, the maps are noticeably tighter and the gameplay more frenetic. Wherase in H1 you could consistently do bombing runs using a banshee, in H2, you constantly have to watch your tail for the dreaded "beep-beep-beep" of a locked-on rocket.
.
i wouldnt say tighter becuz there is way more walking in h2 becuz the maps are oversized. and i think the lock on roket was a good thing becuz with a roket u wouldnt have to worry about some jerk seeing u spawn and running u over with a shee and the same thing goes for all vehicles.

I should point out some things:
1. There using the xbox engine so forget HDR but expect most of the bugs fixed
2. 16 is probably the limit due to each player being shielded as anyone whos played 16 player CTF will tell you.
3. No new maps but a map editor


and i should point out that your efing retarded :)

Gearbox are not doing H2 PC there to busy with Brothers in Arms the conversion is being done by a Microsoft team working with the same tech bungie used for the xbox version. On maps like coag teams do tend to sit back and defend getting past eight people to steal a flag or plant a bomb in a base is a -blam!- when eight people are camping there imagine sixteen doing the same its worse on containment and colossus. Currently no maps will return from halo 1 pC buit the map pack will be included.

yes it does, and all i'm saying is that the auto-zoom out is annoying and -blam!- and should be taken out.


Also, the sword is annoying. Take it out. Self-damage from when you throw grenades is annoying and should be taken out. Oh, and damage from other people. Hell, the covenant are annoying, what with their shooting you, take that out as well. Hell, just make the game that has no annoyances at all, and make it staring at a blank screen! Wait, that's annoying as well! Take the screen out!

could they maybe move it up to 20 or 24 instead of 32, and it doesnt have to b the same from map to map, and for dedi servers moving to maps with a less number of players, u can boot the ppl at the bottom 4 or 8, that would shave off afks perty well too

they should also have a better identifacation method other than the name of the server, ever walked into a server that said 'shotguns no shields' and find yourself on rat race with heavy wepons?

and they should display the servers map cycle, so u can avviod server that bump ppl when they move from a higher populated map to a lesser one

depends on the system they use if they use the live matchmaking and custom system then no remember this game will use live anywhere meaning Microsoft will control what servers you are sent to

it will be very similar to halo 2 xbox you will have to use your 360 or xbox 1 gamertag while playing halo 2 vista online the good news well for me anyways is that the game will support achievements that count across all platforms.

For God's sake, would it kill any of you to type properly for a change? Sorry for sounding like the world's biggest Grammar--blam!-, but...seriously...becuz nobudy can undarstend u wen u talk liek dis, ppl then donnt car ewht u say cuz u sound fsckin r3tardedz.

I could go on and rant about some of the posts and insults I've seen hurled around in this thread, but that would be way off topic.

And here's my final word on this...

Posted by: OmniosSpartan
but Spartans arent normal people they have energy shielding, and alloy plated armor hell with all of that you shouldnt even be able to FEEL a shot from anything less then a heavy caliber wepon, mush less RECOIL from it around, besides its not like they have to put thier eyes to the scope anyways its nerual linked which means you see it over whatever your seeing even if you did get hit and recoil you would still see through the scope, unless YOU zoomed out.

Also there needs to be an idle kick system i was just in a bungie CTF server and 2 guys were on Red just doing nothing and giving us a disadvantage.


But then, let's just suppose that were the case, and that was always the case to begin with. More than likely, you or someone like you would start asking Bungie for auto-zoom out, since a match would soon become a race for the powerweapons in the game. Especially the sniper, cause once he's locked on, you're dead. If you have a plasma pistol, or the starting combo of the BR and SMG, wouldn't you feel a little unbalanced if the sniper could simply snipe you without any auto-zoom-out? That your covering fire with the Battle Rifle wouldn't be able to deter the sniper in any way possible?

Let's reword it once more for clarity. You've just respawned, armed with the starting set of a Battle Rifle and SMG. A sniper overlooks your spawnposition. Now, he zooms in and lines up a headshot. You try covering fire by using the BR, but alas, he pulls off the headshot because aside from chew away minimally at his shields, your bullets have no impact and don't deter him from killing you.

(Oh, and if you really want to get into the techno-realism of the game, then I wll argue that the sudden burst of energy created when a plasma shot hits your shield will disrupt the neural-link between the scope and the HUD.)

Meh, let's just agree to disagree, shall we, Omnios? ;)

However, I will STRONGLY agree with Omnios's suggestion of an auto-kick system. We need one.

It won't be as deadly as it is on the Xbox because there'll be no auto-aim for the BR on H2PC. Besides, think of the BR as Combat Evolved's pistol. If you had a full bar of health, and no/drained shields, then a shot to the head would take you down, no? You're forgetting that in order for the PP+BR combo to successfully work, you need the battle rifle to be shot at the head.

You guys are thinking of a huge misconception about H2's no-health system. There is a health system, it just gradually restores fifteen seconds or so after you've recharged your shields. For example, if you get hit by a grenade, taking out your shield, and then recharge it again, and then if someone throws a grenade and it lands right at your feet, you'll die, because some of health was taken away by the first away.


EXACTLY!!! I can't stand all the Halo 2 haters out there who are all like, "OMGWTFBBQ NO HEALTH I NEED HEALTH PACK NSTUFF!!!!q11" It is really annoying. Notice how you don't die after one SMG bullet to the foot after your shields are gone? That's health.

Time out about the sword you know that in Halo PC they never took out the tank from Halo Xbox. For Halo 2 XBox to go to Halo 2 PC, they won't remove the sword.

Why uped player limit? Some people now on H1PC complain about lag of a full game of 16 players, and now if say 24 players in a game: massive lag? and if you were to uped player limit, wouldnt you need bigger maps?(dont know all maps on Halo 2)

Good point, I agree with everything you say in this paragraph. Heck, I even proof read my typing before I actually submit it.

Because, H2PC will have an improved netcode than HPC's.

And dude, stop double-posting. Use the edit button, it's right there next to the "reply" button on your posts. It's quite self-explanatory, so don't be ignorant and use it. Like how I used it right now to put this sentence in.
