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!

Hey were are u...bungie we need answers, please!!!

Is there going to be a way to create and draw your own logo's? If there is, how will it work? thnx

I'm not sure if this question has been asked or not and I'm not going to read 20 pages worth of questions while at work, so here it goes... How hack-proof are you making multiplayer? The main things I'm concerned about are the the damned rocket bug, unlimited ammo*, and the ability to reload one weapon while firing another**. *This is accomplished by emptying the clip of one weapon and picking up another while the reload sequence is running. Pick up the first weapon again and you'll notice that it has the same number of clips [i]and[/i] a full clip ready to fire. **Double-tap reload and then switch weapons. I use this one like crazy, but it shouldn't be there.

[quote]Don't know if this Q has been asked yet but how are you supposed to dule weild 2 of the same weapon?(e.g. 2 SMG'S, Plasma Pistols...)[/quote] I believe that you just hold Y over the second weapon... I think you're confused because of picking up ammo instead of the gun, right? I thought of that for a while... well, if you take the ammo out of it, the gun's still there... so you can still pick it up. And I think that after you pick it up your ammo is averaged between the two guns... I don't know for sure, but this seems like the most likely possibility...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Skullthumper 1. How many guests can you bring onto live through your account for Halo 2. All for now, this Q&A was a great idea.[/quote] I think 3 other people, which makes a total of 4 people playing at once in one Halo 2 xbox live account. Or atleast that is what I heard in some report. I am not sure if that is true though.

This may have already been asked but I don't feel like reading all 18 pages of questions to find out so here it goes: Are any of the Halo 1 MP maps (especially the awesome extra maps from the PC/Mac version) going to ship with Halo 2 or be released as download content? If they are going to be included are they going to be mostly as they are or specially remixed? When is Bungie going to do a new Marathon game or remake or an Oni sequel? Please, please tell me that Halo 2 will have a Southpaw setup for the thumbsticks. Lots of game studio's seem to over look just how important this is to some people and they end up making a great game unplayable to people like me (Deus Ex: The Invisible War is a perfect example). When can we look forward to seeing downloadable content and how often can we look forward to it? Will there be any single player download content? How much can be added/patched/modified by downloadable content? For example say a huge bug was somehow able to slip by (not very likely I know) on the fourth stage of the single player game, would you be able to issue a patch for it? What inspired the Bungie creators to come up with the ring world of Halo? I know that there are a few sci-fi novels that also have ring worlds. Did any of these inspire the creative minds behind the game? What is the biggest thing that the design team wanted in Halo and/or Halo 2 that had to be cut for one reason or another? How many people total have worked on Halo 2? Can you break this down by department? Also how big is Bungie's full time staff now? Will it be growing or shrinking any after Halo 2's launch? What is the hardest thing about developing for the Xbox? What is the easiest? Have you played Fable yet (my guess is no if you are still able to get work done)??

When Dual Wielding, how do u you switch to a single weapon like the battle rifle then go back to dual wielding.

HOW MANY and WHAT ARE THE NAMES of the new weapons in multiplayer?

Hey guys, In the reports following the original teaser trailer, features such as melee combos and sprinting were mentioned. The melee combo was featured in the E3 '03 demo, but other than that, these features have not been mentioned in any other reports. Are they still in the game, or were they ditched along with the ATV?

It's actually 2:06pm now

1. Will there be a co-op mode online through XBL (would kick ass for my buddy that just moved 2 hours away =( ....) 2. Is there ANY way possible you could make a chatroom and play the compain at the same time, or like watch your friend play the game and talk to him. That'd be cool if he wanted to show you a glitch or how to do something. 3. When are the avatar contest winners gettin there prizes ; ) (take your time, I'm just joking..thought after seeing the new bungie,net shirt I do want that thing like theres no tommorrow, the smoking SMG shirt made me...get my keyboard wet...jk..) Tanks for taking the time to actualy sit down and answer the questions, you guys truley are the fan's company. - Trigun

1. How many guests can you bring onto live through your account for Halo 2. 2. How customizable are ammo/weapon/vehicle inclusion and placing. 3. Will Halo 2 have the flexibility of Halo when comparing multiplayer level sizes and gametypes suited for those levels? 4. How will the experience centered live component take into account those who have mastered the first game? eg. Everyone starting as a new player, some of those "new" players have the skills to win from the start, while others will have to build them. 5. Is there actually a graphical change when you are turned by an explosion? I found myself shooting a wall besides me when I was turned, even though I had been looking straight at my opponent. All for now, this Q&A was a great idea.
