Wow, Zanzabar looks like it is going to kick ARSE! It probably will rival blood gulch. All the Multiplayer demos show Master Chiefs vs. Elites. Does that mean it cant be Master Chiefs vs. Master Chiefs? Just wondering. Well anyway, i hope the barrels are small enough to fit under a warthog, so that when the enemy gets in...they wont come out...

LOL looks good frankie, keep up the good work.
(i wish i had your job)

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.





Man, your description of that made me laugh my head off. But that would be so cool, driving a long in a warthog then a bloody head crashes through the windshield and lands in your lap, then starts talking to you...ok i went too far didn't i.

But that would be so cool i fyou were out of ammo...
Kill your friend so you could slice off their limbs to throw at the enemy.
OR pick up a head and put it on a totem pole outside your base to show the enemies to "Beware". Also that woud be cool if the "Shiz-arks" could eat you alive in the water...

O i know what the coolest thing would be. If you got all your friends just outside the rotating blades, then chop off all their limbs(were talkin freakin 12 players with all their limbs cut off) and let the fan catapult them into the air, and then.... An orgy of gore will fall from the sky all over the map. THAT WOULD BE THE SHIZ!!!

DEMO.....PLZ!

Here are a few things I would like to say.......
-To everyone that got to play Halo 2 at E3 this year.....I hate you.....so very much
- 6 months of tweaking,eh? Well, I can say if it will definetly be worth it if the game already looks so badass.
- To everyone that wants the game to come out now: If anyone wants this game to come out now its me 100000000000000% to the square root times infinity. But if youve seen screenshots of what Halo 1 looked like long before it came out, then you'd appreciate this long wait more (dinosaurs....WTF!??)
- To those that played Halo 2 at E3 this year..... I still hate you with all my being.
-I've only recently started playing Halo online via PC (I think thats the only way to play online) and I STILL dont understand why people on MY team find it neccessary to randomly kill ME and my fellow teammates.
- I REALLY hate all you guys that played Halo 2 at E3 this year. My envy burns like a thousand rashes on a butt that cant be scratched.

Other then those numbers, I've nothing else to say. Good Day.

QUOTE -Secrets of Zanzibar by Frankie:

"And remember, in the E3 demo, you can't drive while holding the flag."

WTF! I hope they change that, it doesn't sound right. They should also have an option where u can drive the Hog with the flag or have the player pin the flag on the Hog, then drive off. Although you'll know what Hog has the flag.

What do you all think?

Frankie,

The level looks good - I like the idea of the shutters that can be closed for cover from snipers - but the giant turbine/wind rotor seems a bit wrong to me. If it is a wind turbine then surely it would not be wise to have part of the blades hidden underground as this would mean a reduction in the area that can catch the wind, and the wind would not hit the blades evenly which would probably cause uneven loadings on the bearings in the rotor's hub - not good for wear on the assembly's moving components. Also if the structure housing the wind rotor is static then how does it deal with a change in the winds' direction?

I know that this might seem a bit technical, but that's what stuck out in my mind when I first saw the screenshots.

Looks like the turbine might not have to change it's direction afterall as I'm told that the east coast of Zanzibar is in the line of some prevailing winds!! Wow! Now is that detail for you or what?

Cant drive with the flag? Well that throws the infamous ghost run ctf tactic out the window. Now players will be forced to use the warthog run haha. Teamwork baby.

Probibly a dumb question. Are there any flyers(ie banshees)? All I see is warthogs and ghosts.

vehicles i want to see in multi player:

covey stuff: ghosts, banshees, phantoms, shadows, wraiths, shade turrets, transport busses and whatever else there may be.

human stuff: warthogs, scorpians (2 person option PLS!), ATVs (maybe they could have a small chiang gun or somthing), a human fighter, pelican and what ever else you got up your hat.

i would realy like to have all sorts of little secrets around the maps, and a HUGE city map is a must.
