Weekly Update Q&A Spectacular!
The latest Weekly Update consists of questions submitted by our readers and answers from Frankie and myself. For the next hour, we'll be going through the questions that were gathered in the news forum and answering what we can in this thread. Let the fun begin!
[i]This thread is now open to discussion. Post away![/i]
And, just because this isn't a normal weekly update doesn't mean there isn't a Mister Chief drawing. Here he is, straight from Frankie's laptop. (drawn with his touchpad)

It was nice that Sketch and Frankie did answer some questions, and I'd like to thank them for taking the time to do so, but they only answered about 1 question every 3 minutes between the 2 of them. A little slow, considering that they should know quite a lot of answers already. Still, thanks anyway guys, I just hope you can answer the questions faster next time.

Bull**** Spike117... Its not a direct port, and the graphics are still stunning. I don't know if you even have seen Xbox screenshots of Doom3. H2 is beeing pushed to the Xboxs hardware limiteds, but the game is running at least as good as Halo, according to Bungie. They are miracle workers, and exelent programmers, they can implement online and system link co-op if they wan't. Rainbow Six and Black Arrow supported online co-op as well. If they can do it, so can Bungie. If its not inside, then i would like to know from Bungie why i wasen't. I don't know why they are so damn secret about it. A yes or no would be just enough.

ok what about this question: will there be downloadable content and if so, do you have to pay for it? And how does dual wielding work, i mean can you dual wield two weapons while you have a BR but its kept away? ex:you have a BR and thats all. you pick up the SMG and go to a needler. Then you dualwield it. Is that possible?

I know that the question period is waay over, but I have one that is very important for me and all my fellow NZ gamers. Will Halo 2 be released on Nov. 9 in New Zealand? According to NZ websites and retail stores I've asked, its still up in the air. It could possibly be on Nov. 11th, like in the UK. If Frankie and the guys could answer this one in their "follow-up" article on this week's update, I'd be much obliged... (Plus if it is on the 9th, its a day earlier than the US! Eat that suckers! Muahahaa!)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] warwolf117 if vicarious visions could do it with doom 3 then bungie could do it with halo 2. nuff sed. you want more read some earlier posts of mine like on page 8 or somethin...[/quote] You have to try to understand the main differences between Halo and Doom3. One of the greatest things about Doom is the fact that the game can and does downgrades very nicely. This could explain how Doom3 Would have Link-Co-Op, with two people in the game, Doom's engine would start cutting corners. Now in the case of H2, it was designed for the Xbox, not an Alienware. In designing a game like Halo 2 (and I am only basing this on my work with designing Hardware/Software for Laptops and Tablet PC's) designers push the system to make it the best it can be without causing noticeable failure. So why won't Halo 2 support Link-Co-Op? Because the Xbox is being pushed to the breaking point as it is and to quote the well spoken Mr. Kablam Diznoofu5: [quote] In MP it's more than a matter of ducking behind a rock and letting your shield respawn. The AI would have to know how to sneak, how to decide which weapons to pick up, how to decide whether he should stay and wait for you or to go hunt for you, not to mention all of the little perks in the levels and how to manipulate them for maximum kills (Like staying on top the blue base in HeH and pistoling people). This is immeasurably different than the workings of any SP level.[/quote] All this leads up to is one thing, 4,000,000 things you want the Xbox to do, while it can only do 3,500,000 things and any one time.

sweet update bungie....and congrats to Sketch for getting hitched!!!!

We can't. [Edited on 9/18/2004 12:43:18 AM]

I don't know whether you are allowed to say but can Master Cheif order pelican dropships to come and pick him up?
-
Nope, I ain't killing myself *bangs head on the wall* It would just have made sense to have it in the game since all the soldiers of UNSC had that weapon is their main weapon. *still banging."Oh why, why the AR?!!!?"*
-
Also this is something I've been wanting to know for a while, when you're dual weilding two weapons how do you reload? do you press the Y button to reload the secondary weapon?
-
Sumthing u should know, and will disopoint many a US(er) we will be getting Halo 2 second in the world right after NZ (New Zealand). Before the USA. lol what a strange turn of events.
-
Good work guys... thanks :)
-
Yeah, definately the best update ever! Thanks for all these answers! I hope next time mine will get an answer... =)
-
When you kill someone and then hump them it should read "_______ was humped by ________" just for clarification during the game so you don't get swwwweeeeeeeeeeet revenge on the wrong person.... cause thats just no fun
-
*wiping away tears* thankyou bungie! you really do love us!!! Bungie, you guys own, putting Frankie and Sketch in here to answer our questions almost immediately is the coolest thing you could of done!!!! and may all your desires for world domination succeed!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NorthernBoxer Will there be a quick turn feature? In counter strike for the xbox you click the right analog, and you can turn around much faster. [/quote] Probaly not, but Bungie has said before that we can peek around corners. Your name is kinda funny, is it a pun for a woody ?

i just thought of another thing i think you should be able to customize you warthog ex. color, decal, rims maybe just a thought.

you guys are without a doubt very busy and very cool. to think that you actually took the time to answer our questions on a forum where even the common spammer could likely invade and screw you up. i appreciate everything that you have done, the hard work you've put into every single one of your projects, and the recognition of your fans. kudos to all of you guys and gals. one question though, will there still be health packs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yea I agree with you there pal they really are cool, especially Frankie, HE RULES!!! and Sketch said that there will be no health packs, just an energy bar that goes all the way down and lets you take a few more hits until you die, but I think that would be kinda hard but hey they know what they're doing and we all will find out how everything works on November 9th ^_^!!!! P.S. Marty O'Donnell rules too!!!!!

[b]HUNTERS[/b] whats with them no pic what so ever, a good new pic would be good.... are they replaced by the brute probably not, more info.
