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!

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.
-
Yes it's 2:03 bungie time!!!!!!
-
After Halo 2 releases, will ilovebees.com return to its normal state?...I rather liked that site before it became adulterated by all that Halo crap.
-
Will bungie have any official ladders that clans can play in?
-
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...)
-
Can we disabled power ups in a multiplayer game, so that there's no overshields or invisibility?
-
Sorry if this has been asked before, but... With the advent of Xbox Live support being included in Halo 2, chances are that a game update will be "pushed" to consoles (maybe not even for a year after release, but maybe an update to fix something Microsoft-related.) These updates have the tendency to break LAN support with users of different versions (MechAssault and Crimson Skies come to mind.) What are your plans for managing this, so that System Link games don't all rely on everyone's console having been on Live to download patches? (For the record, I'm sure the game won't *need* these updates, but MechAssault and the like have been patched for what seems to be corporate, anti-piracy, anti-modding reasons.)
-
there is no -blam!- atv retards. theyve said no like a million times
-
Can you estimate the number of maps that will be in the game. Say if dont want to give out exact numbers, will it be near 10 or near 20. (It can be 24 maps, and it still will be round to 20)
-
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?
-
I've noticed that you can fall considerably without instantly dieing. How far do u have to fall before you die? What made you change the look of the Wraith, ive noticed this big cannon comes out the top and shoots.
-
How does dual-wield reloading work? Do they both reload, or the one with the lowest ammo, or something else?
-
1.Will the ATV be included in mulitplayer? 2.Will there be a transport hog or snow hog in multiplayer? 3.What other Covenant and Human vehicles will be availabel in multiplayer? 4.What Covenant and Human weapons will be included in multiplayer? 5.What powerups are in mutliplayer? That is all for now.
-
Ok, two questions: 1) Halo 2 is going to be the best thing to play EVER. But if you get pooped after an 18-hour marathon, can you watch others play in an Observe mode? If so, I'll never turn off my Xbox again! 2) Will the answers you provide during this Q&A be posted later, like a news update? I may not get to log on for a couple days... :( 3) Do you realize that your contribution to society is to make millions of people lose their jobs, their girlfriends, and all contact with the outside world? (That's a compliment btw!!). I know I can't count.
-
Has the marine 4 wheeler actually been removed from the game?
-
Will we ever see a sequel to Halo 1?
-
[b]Where is the Soul?[/b] I have made my life's sole purpose to find the Disembodied Soul and return it to the wild where it belongs. It has disappeared from the depths of Bungie.net and perhaps possibly crawled out the hole you have in your fence. When it is found, I shall give Soul a home in my Soul Jar, and offer it's hospitality. I promise to keep Soul safe and sound so he can never be lost again.
-
What new vehicles will their be and what are they? What new weapons will there be and what are they? How many vehicles and weapons will here be? How many multiplayer maps are there and what are the ones you havent shown yet? How big will the mp maps be? What new enviromental effects are there e.g snow rain etc. will there be more melee weapons other than the plasma sword? Will the phantom be drivable? Will here be human flyable vehicles? Is the big cannon seen in the e3 03 trailer still in? Are the features like sprinting peaking round corners etc still in? Will there be more mp skins other than the elites and spartans? Will halo 2 be longer than the original? will there be more emplaced turrets?
-
Hi The Great Frankie and Sketch! I have a few big questions? 1) How many SP Levels are there going to be? 2)How many multiplayer levlels? 3)How many weapons are to be included? Can you answer thoose in a est. Thanks and Rock On!
-
"What language is Halo 2 programmed in? " I'm almost positive that the only language that the Xbox Developers Kit supports is C++. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.
-
im not sure if this has been asked, in Halo CE the charged Plasma Pistol took of the shield in one go. Now that there is only shield and no Health Bar does that mean the Plasma pistol can effectivly kill in one shot or has this feature bin removed?
-
1. About the most recent Beta, percentage-wise, how close is the beta to the final version? 2. Will the Plasma weapons, at least the Pistol and Rifle, have the small stun effect like in Halo CE? 3. I know this is annoying to hear about, but I have a question about the Health/Shield thing. How many hits exactly does it take to get killed after shields are down? Are you just not showing the 8 bars of health, or is it less than Halo CE?
-
one last thing.. is Louis Wu in the game?
-
Can you simply answer that what you haven't discussed about the game ( in multiplayer), is the good stuff, in other words, are you saving to tell the best for last? A yes or no. So far everything that is known about the game is awesome, but i have a feeling that you guys are just planning a very nice suprise on November 9th. Please don't dissapoint me.

RE: Will there be ATV's (heard it mention in The Rumour BUster!)??? Answer: Yes - look @ the images below posted by bungie: http://bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/Gallery/Renders/atv_front.jpg http://bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/Gallery/Renders/atv_rear.jpg
-
I've noticed that the only variations of the warthog discussed recently have been the standard and rocket varieties. I remember early in the development of the game there was talk of a transport hog, snow hog, jungle hog, and ATV. Will those be included, or have they been scrapped?
