what do you visualize Halo 2 will be in your mind?

[ghost 009]

Ok just post what you think battles in Halo 2 will be like. I will be back to edit this post later and tell you what I think.

[XboxTJ]

Same thing as Halo but better graphics, better sound, better gameplay, pretty much everything, lol. We all know Halo was great but Halo 2 is going to be fantastic! I can't wait till i get to play a demo. Plus if you go to Gamespot, they have a screenshot of a multiplayer level of Blue Vs. Red. It looks hot!

[ghost 009]

I think that that the levels will be very large and if there are really 32 people on a server. It will be complete chaos. I think I might have proof of the very large levels.http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/pbfc6cd92f0747ef03a1676c2bcae5544/f9bf6d9b.jpg

you might not be able see the circle I made (its near the back of the wart hog) and you definitly wont be able to see the thing I circled but it looks like a really far away MC. If it is this is awesome.

But anyways look at this pic, enlarge it and look behind the warthog across the river.http://www.bungie.net/images/site/halo/screenshots/halo2/h2_mp_01.jpg

This is what it sounds like at a normal Halo LAN party :
Me:F***! I got sniped!
TheCovenant:Dude, I totally sniped you.
Spartan VI: Good shot
Koopa: Way to guard the base Matrix!
Blue Ranger: I GOT THE FLAG!

This is what I believe a Halo 2 LAN party will sound like:
Me: F***! I got sniped....IN HALO 2!
TheCovenant: I totally sniped you...IN HALO 2!
Spartan VI:Good shot... HALO 2!
Koopa: I want a new teammate.... but Halo 2 is great!
BlueRanger: I GOT THE FLAG..... AGAIN!

Its not very descriptive, but just imagine that with great graphics.
:D

I almost forgot, Bungie said it would be Xbox Live, ewwww, ahhhhh, lol.

Butterz those are bullet shells from the LAAG on the Warthog.

TJ, that has been known for a LONG time.

no look behind it to the back of it there is a black shadow figure in the distance.

I think it will have very large maps and will totally kick ass. Remember that one level with all the snow. There are a lot of these places. They have the bridges and the enemy tanks below you. If they had a level like that you could have banshees and snipers. It would be awesome. If it was a bigger level (imagine the one in the picture) I would get a sniper and help command the other people. Someone would drop us all off i from a dropship. Like I said I would find a good sniper spot while other people go on warthogs and other vehicles. Once I have taken some people out I would hop into a warthog with a couple of people. I would probally pick up a Battle Rifle and sit in the passenger seat. Our vehicle gets attaked and the driver dies. I get out and run for cover. The gunner has the rocket kind and launches rockets. I tell him to get his ass over here but he sits there. He gets blown up by a rocket. I take out the guy who killed him. I go to pick up the rocket launcer on a hill. The hill has twisted metal and other cover. I notice a convoy of enemy MC's out in the open. I launch a rocket at them. I manage to kill everyone in the last vehicle. I launch another rocket and it knocks out the entire convoy. Then I get shot in the frekin ballsack. While I'm dead I'm watching killerbert play. He is the driver of a warthog and goes off a hill. He ends up killing everyone including himself. Then I turn it to another player. He has double uzis and is near the enemies spawn (we connot respawn). He and 6 other players pick up a nice dropship. In the dropship are warthogs. He finds the enemy battling some of their troops. They fire rockets at the ship. It suffers a hit but isn't destroyed. He opens the door and out go the warthogs. He then picks up some mo troops somewhere else and sends them to banshees. He does that for the rest of the game and then sees a group of enemies hidden in a hill far away but strait ahead of the other battle. They aunch a rocket strait at the windsheild. It kills him and destroys the dropship. The dropship falls down into the sand right in front of the tall hill.

Anyways you get the point.

No there isn't, and if there is it isn't proof of "very large levels with 32 people" because there are only 7 Spartans in the picture anyways.

I know there will be very large levels, but that doesn't mean there will be 32 people.

He is talkin' multiplayer. Butterz, are you talking about the in the backround in front of the warthog or behind? Because if your talking about the front, then that is someone from the blue team holding a needler. The stuff towards the back of the 'hog is just shells. Have you noticed in the very top right corner there is an object in the sky? Put your cursor right on the tip of the guys rocket laucher and follow it straigh to the corner and you will see it.

Obviously, because it's a multiplayer picture. What did you think I was talking about?

[ghost 009]

I can't wait for this game any longer.

[Darkshooter]

32 players would b awsome though. Plus that means singles can actually play without getting booted because there r always alot of people anyway :D

[ghost 009]

I don't think XBL supports 2 people on an X-BOX. Thats why I hate XBC because all these ******* ******* kick you for no good reason. I did have a good match today though.

[themoosearmy]

I hope that Halo 2 has some urban levels, something where I can hide and sneak through tall buildings, similiar to MoH.

Also, i still don't think 32 people would be fun unless it was on LAN, that would strangle XBL too much.

[ghost 009]

Hopefully they will put that a large portion of that level that we saw in the demo. That would be awesome. They couldn't see very well in the dark so you throw flashbangs at them. And hopefully they wil be able to fit 32 on some levels:cheers: . I mean they are taking longer so they may be able to work something out. I mean their Bungie.

32 players?

Man, often times, I think 16 is too much on the first Halo.

Dude, check out the full color maps of Burial Grounds on the desk below the two tv's:

http://bungie.net/images/site/bnet/news_images/doyourworst.jpg

Even though it's hard to see, I would say that map is pretty dang big!

(Pic from the Bungie Winter Pentathlon writeup (http://bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/0/news/news_detail.html&id=70166CCF-8FAB-42ED-8376-D670E0F429BF))

[J4320]

You can't tell that it is big. You don't even know if they are facing a wall!

I thought that since you said "only 7 Spartans" you thought he meant campaign. In multiplayer it doesn't matter it's multiplayer. I guess it was just a misunderstanding. Sorry about the double post.:rolleyes:

[l Maximus l]

I still think 32 players is way too much...the maps would have to be absurdly massive...like 2 to even 3 times the size of Blood Gulch or Sidewinder!

16 on Sidewinder isn't too bad, IMO. The action is very fast...which I like. But, on Blood Gulch, 16 is too many...I think 10 is fine for that map, IMO.

I'm thinking of a map thats like 5x that. It would support all vehicles and you could still have some battles.

Now, that would justify 32 players...there's no question. I think it would be sweet if they had a map that size and had 4 teams all battling it out...imagine CTF with 4 teams of 8 dudes...that would be insanity! I'm definately not expecting this, though...not in the least. But, it would be pretty sick.

yes.... there is, it's another blue spartan, which makes the total EIGHT Spartans.

Whoops, eight, thanks. But that is still not proof of 32 players.

The only possible proof I can think of is that in the Winter Pentathlon (http://bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/0/news/news_detail.html&id=70166CCF-8FAB-42ED-8376-D670E0F429BF) they had eight people with a tv a piece. If they were on LAN (not XBL), maybe there is still 4-player split screen for up to 8 Xboxes which would equal 32 people. You can see that in this picture:

my opinion for halo 2 battles is gonna have to be the best frekin battles ever with all the new weapons, graphics sound and all the new stuff and such. it will be beyond battling for awile...
i hope...
