Special Q&A Today!
For this week's update, Frankie and I are going to take questions from the field and answer them online in a psuedo real-time chat format using the Bungie.net forums. Things are bound to get a little hectic but we think it will be fun.
The first thing we need people to do is ask questions! You can do that in the news forum - easily accessible by clicking the "discuss this story" link at the bottom of this page.
Before you ask your questions, keep these points in mind:
1. NO QUESTIONS ABOUT CAMPAIGN or the STORY! (we won't even acknowledge these questions)
2. Don't spam and ruin this for everyone. We'll be banning people.
3. Questions about life inside Bungie, the final crunch, Alta's haircut, the Beta, etc.. are all fair game.
[b]At approx. 2:00 PM PDT Frankie and I will login to the New Mombasa forum and start answering questions that have been posted to this thread.[/b]
We'll hang out for an hour or so and have some fun. =)
Ok, now get to the news forum and post your question for the weekly update!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mr McMurder 1. Online coop? 2. Any Halo 1 MP maps or their derivatives in Halo 2? 3. Can you high five teammates? 4. What is Halo 2's production budget? Over $50 million? 5. Online spectator mode? 6. Instant replay? 7. Can you import insignias of your own design? [/quote] All I know is that the answer to number 1 is No.

If anything changes, like posting answers in another thread, they would let us know in this one. Remember this is a WEEKLY REVIEW with Q&A added so they are probably compiling it rite now. Be patient. No more posts.

In one of the recent beta reviews, there was a section which reviewed the different options you could toggle on/off for multiplayer. One of the options was for "Flying Vehicles". Is this any evidence that there will be more than the Covenant Banshee available for flying? Will there be another Covie flying vehicle or possibly a human flying vehicle? Also, most of the levels I understand are considerable larger than the levels of Halo. Does this extend to multiplayer as well? There were only two levels in Halo where you could use vehicles, which was a bummer because they're so fun to play with. How's the ratio for vehicular levels in multiplayer as compared to smaller levels without vehicles? Half? 1/3? Thanks guys! Keep up the awesome work. Halo 2's gonna break every record known to man.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Elite Master Where you guys to busy playing Halo 2 to answer our questions?[/quote] 24 pages of questions. They promised to answer them and you think its gonna take a few minutes? Don't be so impatient people! They are doing their best to answer all these questions so calm down and stop pestering them.
-
It took me like half an hour to get through 10 pages of repeated question so I woukldn't be surprised if they won't answer for another hour or so.
-
I have one question and one request: a)Will you be able to block a plasma sword with a plasma sword? (A duel of sorts) b)Can I have all the addresses of the Bungie employees :P Muahahahaha *cough*

I'm particularly interested in Joe Staten's job and I'm curious about the kind of experience needed to be a Director of Cinematics. What kind of experience is required? Should the director have lots of art/3D modelling/animation experience? Or is a keen eye and creative mind sufficient? It seems like the cinematics are some the last things to be completed. What does Joe do before the animations are built? I love the process of visual storytelling and would like direct cinematics for a game myself some day. I guess I'm just looking for some advice about obtaining a position like this. Thanks!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ObbiQuiet This thread is a nightmare. A [i]nightmare[/i]. [/quote] i think i hear sketch and frankie saying, "um, can we get some interns to skim these questions for us? oh, and who here can type fast...?"

I can't speed read through the 20+ pages, so I will ask what I'm wondering about. 1) Are there melee combos? 2) You said you'll make those WITHOUT XBL, an equal experience will those whom do have XBL. Can you please explain what you mean by that statement? 3) How many TOTAL weapons are included in MP? 4) Have you included classic MP Halo maps? (ie; Bloodgulch, Sidewinder, Damnation, etc..) 5) If I buy a Home Theater projector, will Halo 2 display wonderfully? 6) Do you either attend church or believe in the Father? Thanks, Matt

Nice too see that rational person is, well a rational person. HOLD UP WITH THE QUESTIONS UNLESS YOU KNOW THEY ARE ORIGINAL!
-
Are melee combos going to be in the multiplayer game? Also, with the downloadable content, what sort of content is it? (new weapons or vehicles?)

[quote]"Hi just wanted to know if all the mp maps are on earth or are they else where in the universe thats all no specifics except that they could be elsewhere in the universe."[/quote] If you look at the *censored* screenshots of the map, you'll see the HALO RING..in the backround, over the moutions. I'll give you a hint, the screenshot just came out a day ago, and the mutliplayer map is snowy.. - Trigun

I got 2 Questions... 1: Will there be Battle Scar damege on Chief's Body? Such as after being shot. 2: Will there still be that glitch about ducking before you fall to not be killed. Thank You
-
maybe they should lock/close the thread..
-
You guys forced me to do this. -----------------STFU LINE--------------------------------
-
Maybe they should lock the thread first.
-
Final Question: Do all people in a vehicle still take damage when it's hit, even if they themselves are not hit? It looked a little odd in Halo where you could be killed by having your warthog hit by a bullet in the tire.

JUST HOLD UP GUYS STOP POSTING
