is it just me or did any one else notice the thing he said,

"Unlike the Campaign mode, Swords in multiplayer last forever, and never lose their deadly lock-on ability. "

so i guess in campaign mode the swords have a "battery" or lifespan, kinda like the camo, hmmm intresting


I'm pretty sure he means that in campaign mode, when an elite drops an energy sword, it quits working. That's what happens in the first halo anyway.

this is gonna rock! i need to start playin halo multiplayer again to get warmed up


dude choas its a whole other ball game. Halo 2 is way different. Ofcourse it helps to have a halo background but theres no health, new weopons, and dual weilding! Im going to have to remember to pull that left trigger

Woah, hold up. It will be different, but it won't be a whole new ball game. The feel of the game will be the same, the sounds, the graphics (well, not really), they'll all feel the same practically. Now, the sword and dual weilding will feel different and I'm gonna do that stuff, but I'm gonna stick to my old school style / Assault , which will be Battle R1fle, and dual SMGs (To make more . I won't use both at once). The map layout and appearance will also feel very Haloish and even though you'll see a Banshee at a Wraith while the guy behind comes up with a Brute Shot, it'll play the same.

Differen't, yes. Whole New Ball Park, No. It's just a home run.

The Beatles kickass.
Also, I probably hate you.

Guardians? Just another Bungie secret? or are they toying with us?

'The gaurdians' is the thing that came up where " You were killed by 'someone' " would usualy show up, but if you and someone else kill each other at the EXACT moment then " you were killed by the guardians" will show up. So its nothing new.

i wonder what would happen if you and another person attacked eachother at the same time? would the swords go through each other and you both die or would they get suck and whoever could press the b button faster would win?

No, just like fuzz owns u ju sed, its not a secret and its not u. Guardians is this multiplayer godlike thing that occurs on rare occasions when u and a friend/enemy do something. This something is this.......u and someone are in an intense battle, and both ur healths are down and ur both on the verge of death. U both charge at each other, while ur still weak, and melee each other at the SAME EXACT time. At impact, u both die, cuz ur health was too weak. It will say u were killed by guardians. If u wanna c it, i suggest playing with no shields, 50% healths, it will be much easier to c this rare thing.

It'd probably be another Gaurdian kill and you'd both die

BTW, hi Hierarchy

November is drawing near......the week monday before halo 2 comes out, i wont be able to sleep. and if i do, i wont stand a full day of skool (dats rite i still have to go to skool dat day).
But in the long run, we'll all be rewarded
isnt it awesome how when u lock on to somebody with ur energy sword, while their looking down at u from like a cliff, u can literally jump that high, and kill him. this is gonna be so awesome

The guardians thing is easily explained, you know what happens when you kill someone, the message it creates, you killed [insert name here], they have messages for when your team mate betrays you, for when you betray him. In Bungies infinite wisdom they realised in such a frenzied game you would encounter a scenario where two people die at the same time, thus the resulting message, killed by guardians, because the instant the message pops up, the person you killed, that killed you, is dead, so how can he have killed you ;) Thats left to the guardians :)

The swords gametype is going to pwn, because with controller you can only turn around so fast, and when its too fast, its going to be difficult to lock on, so you're going to be easy pickings for me and everyone else who has a keyboard/mouse converter for xbox :P We'll be able to accurately spin around and aim, and move.

Prepare to be pwn3d come Nov 11th when we UK people recieve this glorious game ...

Good luck!

Frank Frank Frank-

Yeah, I like the "ahh I'm falling" trick, but have you tried THIS??? (hold your breath now because it's a good one-)

A. Get a whoopee cushion. Start each FFA match with it FULLY INFLATED. Stick it in your armpit. Real good.

B. Each time you lunge at someone -- WITH THE MIC ON -- rip a good one

It's brutally humiliating to your opponents because they're gettin'
1) flayed by an energy sword
and
2) farted on at the same time

Works even better when you're cloaked and motion tracking is turned off.

Try it. Guaranteed 100% effective.

Godfather my man what im saying is "as in a whole other ball game is" the first hour of play multi your going to get your ass kicked. serious. The graphics= way better, weapons= none of the old weapons are in halo as far as i can tell and you will get owned in a close range if you have the battle rifle and your opponent has dual whatever. What im trying say it will have an old halo feel but your going to have to bring a whole new strategy to different situations. By far i must say whatever imperfections there were in halo, halo 2 makes up for it. like balanced weapons a more fare shield/health bar.
