I played this at E3 as well!

I however, had some clear thought, besides the "ohh my God, ohh my God, I'm playing it" and at one point I stopped fighting to go look around, well, I ended up finding a path to the plasma sword and forgot abut exploration lol. I wanted to explore my sword into some enemy torsos...

however, I did think....what if I put a vehicle where that big fan blade turns? But then I thought, I want to use the vehicle to kill people! So it didnt happen..for a moment I tried letting the fan blade push me up, but I fell off and said screw it, kill more!

man, you gots have it going on! not only do you have ur levels so complex, but they are interactive and destructable! woot! i also like how you seem to have to work more as a team than as a running, gunning, killing machine; button mashing creapazoid! sorry....i hate smacktards...hehe....
plus if halo 2 is good thus far...and theirs just "tweeking" it for another 5 or so months....*phew* im speachless! major props.

Well it is silly to ask for a demo this early on. But, I think a multiplayer only, xbox live demo could be appropriate say, a month from now or something?

demo disc... not gonna happen
beach substituted with trampoline.. possible.

it would be cool if bungie put up a hi-res video of the fly-through of zanzibar.. the one i've seen is a little dodgy hard to make out what you are talking about in the article.. umm yeah or maybe an overhead shot of the map? i dont think that begging helps.. but give it a try.. maybe if you get a monumental number of "plz"'s they will igonre your pitaful requests with more glee.. ok, im done.

Frankie this news rocks my world! Now to say the least for the guys wanting a demo I sure as crap dont blame them for wanting one of at least Zanzibar to play to hold us off for the next months. And if you dont want to or want to wait a month a month is better than waiting 6 of them. I guess its hard to put in words how we feel about this super fantastic already awsome game that isnt even out yet, but a demo of any sort of Halo 2 would be grand would it not?

Ahh the imfamous barrels I've heard so much about, sounds like a neat idea. If you don't put this level in the actual game it would be a great idea to include that particular mechanic in the final version.
A demo disk sounds cool, although if that is implemented (and likely not since that might lower the impact of the game a little when it actually comes out) it would probably be a month or two before launch.
I've heard comments from various gaming sites actually saying Zanzibar would likely be another level on par with Blood Gultch, and honestly that is not praise Bungie can afford to ignore, unless of course they manage to make an even better level instead.
One question I have after hearing all this is, will this level support other gametypes (like two-flag CTF and Slayer) on the same level it did single-flag CTF?

The gate mechanism is old and decayed. Once open, it stays open.-Secrets of Zanzibar

So you can't close it again? That sucks. Well I guess it's not fair to the other team either if you keep anoying the hell outa them by making them re-open the gate. I don't really care what it's like, I JUST WANT TO PLAY IT!!!!!

i think everyone drooling at theyr seat in front of theyr comp is satisfying enough to make them hurry and get the game out,
i just wish the game comes out during summer so school doesnt get in the way of me playing non-stop
i bet though that zanzibar is just the small uninteresting map to keep us drooling but when we get the game the other new lvls will blow us away

ok, so i know no matter how long it takes bungie to make halo 2 the greatest game ever, im gonna buy it and play it as much as i can, but come on. i personally have been very excited about halo 2 since the video came out at last years e3, and others have been waiting for it since the first halo came out. 6 months is sooooo long to wait, and i know that a demo, be it multiplayer, singleplayer, all the videos available of halo 2 in high res, anything, would be of great help in tiding us over until nov 9. so please please please guys, throw us a bone and release something in the next few months. im sure no matter what it is it will just make us more excited for the real game and not steal thunder from its release. cmon guys, were beggin ya.

i'm definately with lazy on this one...i mean think about it, since there is an e3 DEMO that functioned perfectly well, why can't it be released to tide us over. if Live is the problem, just omit it from the demo and let us have some syslink play (we all know that works fine ; ) ) . i've actually develped a physiological need for this game, and i think i now know what a heroin adict goes through.

The one thing that im quite happy about is the lack of the pistol in halo 2. I have heard zip about it and nothing but happy things now that is is gone. It created a unbalancment in the game and a ratehr frustrating tool that was abused to the extremes.

Since the levels and just about everything is destructable, does that mean the guys are also destructable? Im talkin' limbs flying everywhere when u get hit by a rocket, then when u blow up some other guy gets hit in the face with your bloody torso, and you could get cut in half with the plasma sword and your head could get blown off and stuff... I dunno maybe not that violent, but the "wild arm-flailing deaths" (you know what I'm talkin about) wouldn't be as cool as having a massive blood-bath with charred limbs and heads 'n' stuff rollin' all over the place.

no, I'm not disturbed. I just think the game needs more violent death animations. l8er.
