Do you think that the multiplayer maps will have light bridges (with on/off switches)? Also will the multiplayer levels have doors and gates (that have to be operated by switch)?

-S

I don't know about light bridges, but Zanzibar has a gate that's opened via a switch inside the base.

in order to upload to an xbox you need to mod the box and ftp through a program called evolution x .. which is frowned upon in these forums... they may have a web based application here on bungie for you to upload, and then they can approve and upload to xbl server for when you log in

I know about the switch in Zanzibar, its a like garage-like door with bars and is opened from the inside if I'm correct. What I am on about is doors that don't necessarily go anywhere. Like on Rainbow Six 3 where you can storm rooms by storming into them.

If the light bridge (with on/off switches) is a definate, could you imagine how much you could piss people off! Bear with me...

Imagine a symmetrical map (for CTF matches) where there is 2 bases. The map is quite small, a little smaller than blood gulch (and therefore sniper rifles would usually not be used). Also flying vehicles would not be allowed as it would make the game too easy.

You have the flag! You come out of the enemies base, your team mates have taken most of the enemies out and you all clamber into the warthog (the warthog, ATV and ghost are the only vehicles allowed on the map). You frantically head towards your base, knowing that a single lightbridge is the only way that you and your team mates will make it to your base using the warthog (This lightbridge has switches at each end that turn it off). This is because right in the centre of the map is a shallow chasm full of rocks (therefore vehicles cannot get through). You speed towards the lightbridge and just before you get there you see an enemy heading towards the light bridge. He fires a rocket at you, your driver rightfully swerves to miss the rocket and does so, but because of this swerve your team mate on the gunner of the warthog fires (a rocket!) but misses. You just sprint along the bridge anyway but around halfway (the bridge is about as long as the first one you encounter on Halo, on the level: Halo) you see the bridge begin to dim. The enemy has turned the light bridge off! You and your team mates plunge into the rocks (with no injuries mide you) and clamber out of the warthog, knowing that it has no futher help to offer (when a vehicle is stuck in the rock pit it is resparned at its original base).

Now you have to get to your base on foot! But always knowing that your enemy could be hot on your heels!

Now thats what I call a great teamwork match. I'd love to play a map like that. Would anybody else?

I think bungie will make it where you get to pick from a big selection of symboles. Although it would be a tad cool to make your own. But when you make your own and you enter a game then everyone in the game will have to DL it and it might not be too much bandwidth, but I want 0 lag. Then when people come and leave games you will have to DL a new persons and so on and then its just eating up bandwidth that could be carrying some more important info, like me killing someone :). But then you also run into the problem of inappropriet images, I don't wanna be running around killing people and then see some elite with a big -blam!- on his back, picking for a selection would solve that.

I don't want bungie to spend time making a whole photoshop-like program for xbox, and it's not like you could make super cool things on an xbox with paint, some could but meh.

Yeah, very good points.

Bungie defintely woudn't want a giant obsenity painted on the back of a player

Another good point is the whole downloading emblem aspect. You would have to download each teams emblem before playing, just to try to prevent lag.

In my opinion (after hearing the points made by lotec16) is that Bungie will realise that the cusomisation of your own team is very important and create hundreds (or thousands) of emblems so it will take a while for them to run out. One good idea is a Halo 2 team emblem register. Then they'll know when all emblems are taken, so they can try to make more.

You'll be able to create your own logos & emblems, I'm sure. If you couldn't, they wouldn't be custom logos, now would they?

well the bandwidth won't take up too much cos there only tiny markings its not like there painted all over the player just on the shoulder and back, plus it wouldn;t really be having your own logo if you had to choose.

Hi everyone, I have long been a visitor to bungie.net and decided it was time to participate!

Anyway, on topic, I am 100% certain that the Tsunami upgrade for XBL will factor into this. Soon, eneryone will get their own MS provided online storage where they can upload things (like emblems) and DL them via XBL. Itès the most logical way to do it. It also opens the door for many amateur mod-makers on live! ;)

I reckon they'll offer combinations - loads of patterns and loads of colours - that'll allow some degree of customisation. Plus, maybe they'll create a forum that'll allow users to send in designs that'll be looked at and selected for upload via patches on Xbox Live?

Yeah, I read that the current storage space is 32KB. I'm not sure how much you can store on that much space, but I don't see a problem with storing and sharing custom logos. Some of these logos would be time consuming to reproduce, so it would be very convenient to be able to join a team, and just download the team emblem or logo from a friend across country, or a Microsoft server in Seattle.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

The answer to the lightbridges is most likley no. This is based on earth, remember? The liught bridges are covenant technology. Mabye you board a covie ship one time, but thats probably the only time you would use a lightbridge.

I hope they will include the ability to create clan emblems, then upload them to your Xbox. Because all the clans would not have individual and special logos. Also, i hope they include light bridges, that would be kool. Ok, listen to this. You see a guy running or driving over a light bridge and you turn it off just before he gets to the end. HA! Would suck if it were you though.

One point about multiplayer maps on Halo. Not all of them were based on earth. What about the Covenant Hydro-electric plant? Is that human? No. So what does this prove? Light bridges are a possibility because the multiplayer maps aren't ALL earth based scenarios.

OK we can say goodbye to light bridges on Halo 2 campaigns but there's always the possibility that it could turn up on a multiplayer map.

Gravity lifts seem more possible then light bridges because the covie are on earth. The forerunners aren't on earth so I bet there won't be any light bridges (who knows though). There may be grav lifts because the covie are on earth. There may be maps on some moon or something. What do you guys think about grav lifts in multiplayer?
