Civilians in Halo 2???
Ok, all the things about secret characters and stuff are pretty exciting and intriguing, but.............
What about civilians?
Where are they?
are you going to see any in Halo 2?
could they be taken as hostages by covies?
If someone knows let me know........
-
and OF COURSE i still think there should be animals. animals that u can shoot and whack. and if u hit them with a warthog, blood splatters and ur warthog flips and takes damage
-
About the quantity of people, sure we could have like 10 biljard people then, but remember the invasion of the covenant??They are sure to be whiping at least 9,9999999 biljard of them, and if not it will be stated by the government to stay indoor

It would be funny to see some little kid go crazy and grab a dead marines pistol and start running around killing the covenenant. Then just before an elite with a sword slices him in half, you plant some hot lead right between his ugly, alien eyes. Then the little kid follows you around thinking you're his daddy until eventually you smack him in the face. j/k, but I wouldn't mind having a mission where you save as many civilians as possible. Nothing where you have to, but maybe some kind of side mission or something. Maybe not, I don't really care all that much.

still seems a bit unrealistic if there arent at least a few. even it one runs across a street in new mombassa ans is gunned down by a covie, i mean i live in new york city . we have 9 million people who live here, even if you evacuated and even if the covie came here and started killing. there would still be people hiding in pockets and etc. just too many
-
[Reply on Main subject] If someone would know this then it would be shouted out in the forum, be a big story on Bungie.net, and considering Bungie's secrecy about this game it is very likely that they will not tell us this after the Launch, it is (maybe) obvious that they're telling so much and so little at the same time to keep us wondering, searching, dreaming and desiring about Halo 2 [Edited on 6/11/2004 11:58:34 AM]

And what looks more human a Spartan or a Civilian?
-
Bungie stated that humans new of the Covenant attack on earth, and that they evacuated the lower levels and now remain baracaded in safer locations. That's just what they said about New Mombasa though. There have been no details reveiled about other locations with civilians.
-
yeah i have written about this very thing before. first let me give the reason i think they need civilians in the game for: 1. they dont need to be everywhere. just where it is appropriate. i.e. in the city. i mean in the future the population will be huge and even if they evacuated the city there are still gonna be people to scared to leave and stay behind. Can we say FREEDOM FIGHTERS. civilians helping out the marines etc with civilian firearms etc. 2. in halo 1, you had that ring going over your head to constantly remind you of where you were and what you were doing. Civilians in halo 2 could do the same thing. remind you of what you are fighting FOR, and to remind you that you are home. 3. it would be stupid if they werent in there, because that is what war is all about. it is about how it affects the people.
-
you may see them

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lifeforce it would be cool if the civilians some times wanted to be helpful and they'd try and fight back![/quote] yea i could see a old guy with a walking stick seriously beating the stupid grunts to death
-
Yea thats kinda what i was tryin to say. I think that would be sweet!
-
Like a militia force using outdated weapons and such. That'd be nice.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if their were civilians on Halo 2 (unless of course they were all evacuated before the covenant hit) It wouldn't make sense not seeing any civilians in the game, or atleast dead ones. If anything, you'll probably see them run away all the time. But it would be cool if the civilians some times wanted to be helpful and they'd try and fight back!
-
Torture, my Flood with Rocket, torture and information.
-
If the covenant kill every human that they can find then why do the covies have at least one brig on the ship?
-
i wouldn't be suprised if bungie put in some scientists that you have to save from being slaugtered so they could make a bomb later or something like that civilians i would like to see a few still in their houses hideing but not on the battlefield just to see how it would make me feel saving a small child and it's parrents from certain death

[quote]What about civilians?[/quote] What about them? [quote]Where are they?[/quote] Some have been evacuated...others are screwed and left on the ground. [quote]are you going to see any in Halo 2?[/quote] Only Bungie knows the real answer. I'm hoping for a yes. Maybe even militia. That would be nice. [quote]could they be taken as hostages by covies?[/quote] No. The Covenant kill any human that they find. There are exceptions, but those are rare. Even then once they are finished with them they kill them. All humans must die as far as the Covenant are concerned. There are no exceptions.

If you think about it that really is a horrible thought. But there might be some resistance group that have been underground since all of the colonies have fallen. Then you might meet them in the game and you have another group to help you. Then there may be some rivalry between the marines and the resistance because the resistance does something. Does that sound crazy or would it be cool?
-
read the books. There was only one time in which the Covenant took hostages: that was Captain Keyes in the Truth and Reconsiliation. Othewise, they always slaughter every last human. NO PRISONERS, NO SURVIVERS, EVERY HUMAN DIES when captured by the Covenant. don't tell me: i know I LIKE TO USE CAPS LOCK! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
-
A horrible thought is that there just might not be any civilians left. All of the colonies have fallen already, the Earth is being bombarded from orbit. The only people still alive might be the marines fighting against the Covenant. Then there's the Halo Spinoff... Lost, a thousand light years from earth the last of Earth's cruisers weaves an erratic course towards the far end of the galaxy. Alone, protected by but one Spartan, the only remnants of humanity search out a new home and discover a strange artifact... a ring world, in orbit around a gas giant. What is it? Who built it? Join Chris-053 as he and his marines explore this artifact and manage to discover something they'd never expected. A means of rescuing what they were sure was lost forever- Earth.
-
I think that maybe you should see some in areas where the covies havent attacked yet. Once they attack the civilians could start running. If you all get what im saying.
-
Put in Jerry Springer! "My wife slept with a grunt"
-
I have to say that there probably won't be civilians in combat, but I do sort of want to stick a plasma grenade on one of their heads in the midst of shouts. "What are you doing!?" "I'm on your side!" Then see them samper into a group of marines and BOOM!!! Grenade chain reactions galore!
-
Remember that HAL0 2 is going for the M(mature) raiting from ESRB not the AO(adults only). Just Marines and covinant soldiers going at it in a battle. Yeah violent but expected. Now through a bunch of unarmed civilians getting mercislesly plased and neddled and slashed to death by the covenant sure might be a little more "realistic" but will be too contrvircial and disturbing for some. No civillians might not make it but dont worry thoes little navy techs armed with a pistol and cowerding into a crouch more than shooting will still be there. So enjoy.
