Discuss Here the Observations Made from the New Halo 2 Video

I was watching the 20 minute Zanzibar multiplayer video for the first time yesterday, and after watching it a few times i noticed some things that were different, and i thought id just say what i thought about them and see if anyone agreed or disagreed. And just in advance in no way are any of the following statements complaints, just observations that id thought id call attention to. 1) Much Faster Frame Rate: im sure everyone noticed in the 20 second video released a month or so ago, but with this 20 minute video i was able to really see how much faster the game actually ran. The speed overall seems ok, but when i was watching close quarter fighting going on i could barely tell what was going on....im sure some people understand what im trying to say, basically it seems like the multiplayer my now just be a shoot and run game. For me, half the fun in Halo: CE was being able to appreciate my kills at the slower pace. I understand what BUngie is trying to do, but it felt (at least to me) that this was slightly turned into a "counter strike" like feel, just run and gun..... 2) No Three Weapons In the zanizibar demonstration they spartan was able to hold 3 weapons, but in the 20 minute video of multiplayer players were only allowed to dual wield, and thats it, those are their only 2 weapons...proof of this is when the player in the movie walks over a battle rifle when dual wielding in the top left corner it says "press X to switch" NOT "press X to pick up". Just an observation and i was kinda hoping for the 3 weapons total (dual wielding along with a two-handed weapon which would be holstered) 3) Higher Jumping WOW, spartans can jump a lot farther than they used to as well as higher, im sure i will get used to this, but i know that a lot of people wanted jumping to be toned down, so id like to hear what those people have to say....it seemed to me like it was ok, but ill have to play it to really know for sure 4) Sniper Rifle The "1st zoom setting" of the sniper rifle is now 5X not 2X anymore, i REALLY liked this new zoom, i always found that i wanted an "in betweem zoom setting" in between 2X and 10X, after all you already had the pistol for a 2X zoom.....also there appeared to be no kick back or recoil, the player was a pretty terrible shot with the sniper rifle, but i didnt really notice any recoil at all Im sure there are other things, but i thought these were a start, feel free to comment on these, and give you 2 cents about these 4 things or other things in the New Video.

  • It is 5 on 5, I dont know where the 8 on 8 came from. I thought the 20 minute video seemed a little fast as well, and I must admit I was a tad worried about it. However, I saw the 50 minute video, before I knew it was leaked, and I must say my worries are all gone. In the said illegal video, it shows more than one player, and all are rather good, they play to win CTF, not to show off this and that, and it shows. It's slower, more tactical, and much more like Halo than anything in the first video. Relax [Edited on 8/27/2004 6:04:51 AM]

  • i dont know if it has already been dicided in this post yet (i read like the 1st two or three pages and dont feel like readin all the rest of them) but if u watched the 50 minute video it does show him with 3 weapons.. the plasma rifle the smg and a shotgun cuz after he throws down his weapons he still has the shotgun from earlier... and oh yeah u definitly can chose between spartin or elite cuz i've seen a vid from somewhere with a spartin and an elite on the same team!

  • In Halo CE you just walk over a weapon but in Halo 2 if you walk over a weapon that can be dual-wielded while holding the same weapon in your hand you get 2 options pick up/switch but you don't automaticly pick up the ammo.

  • Probably just like Halo. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MCinferno There's one thing I don't understand how do you pick up ammo for an SMG/Needler etc. when dual-wielding I mean, if you walk over an SMG etc. you can pick it up but how do you pick up the ammo?[/quote]

  • I just saw how it works you can hold 3 weapons but only if it are 3 one-hand weapons just see cause you can't dual-wield and carry a BR in stock.

  • in halo one you didnt have to hit any brake for the back end to slide out. The movement in halo 1 made the vehicle feel heavier and to me, a lot more fun.

    [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] suMMx i think the gameplay was a bitfast but defaintly not horrible and still fun. More importantly the vehicles seem to handle awful. The warthog doesnt even tail whip or drift any more, thats the whole reason why the warthog is so awesome. Its also too fast, it should be a bit slower.[/quote] Thats because they weren't using the E-Brake I think. You can still drift and stuff but you have to put on the brake.

Also to note, You can wield 3 weapons at one time but once you switch from dual weidling to a single weilding gun you drop the right hand gun and store the left hand gun that you dual wielded previous to your gun switch. You cant duel weid switch to say a battle rifle then continue that duel wield. You must only cycle 2 weapons at a time or carry 3 while duel wielding. [Edited on 8/27/2004 12:35:33 AM]

  • I have read most, not all, but most of the posts in this thread and wanna put in my 2 cents. if you've already said what i'm about to, don't complain. Here is what i noticed from the video: 1. the game speed IS a tiny bit faster, but not too much that it bothers me. the spartans do jump higher, but it was expected since they said it on one of the first weekly updates 2. even though it has been discussed TO DEATH and not only of this thread, YOU CAN HAVE THREE GUNS. if you don't agree, re-read the updates and feel the burn. actually someone quoted the specific update a couple pages back.. 3. CriM is a retard 4. the guy playing was so bad i almost threw up...i wished so bad that i could have played instead of him, ahhhh what a waste. he was a shame to those dedicated to the art of sniping. and i absolutely loved that one life of his that lasted all of 2 seconds 5. needler's cool, specially with an smg on the other hand. smg seems to be the craziest effing gun, and hit ppl from a mile away even though it was suppoesed to be less accurate than the original assault rifle. the plasma rifle is ridiculous, the new look is crazy, even though the way it looks when u get hit by it is a bit weird 6. vehicle boarding is great, and is harder to do than it seemed, which is good cuz then u wouldnt be able to drive for 5 seconds w/o some1 jackin ur ride. ghost boost is the ish. a warthog looks, sounds and drives like i dreamed it would. exactly what a 4x4 should be 7. grenade explosions seemed really small, even though i remember frankie saying in an update that they were goin to make them more intense 8. the health meter is a piece of crap, and is probably what disappointed me the most. was it this game only, or did they get rid of the health boxes under the shield forever? i really hope not, that would suck. the shield recharged too fast. 9. the guy playin was SO DAMN BAD!!! when i first saw him pick up the sword, i was like "crap, this is gonna be good"...he just got trashed every time 10. he never used the shotgun. i would've liked to see more of it, though we saw him get OWNED at least once with it. i also dont remember ever reading it was now pump action...that slows dowwn fire rate and balances it, i hate when sucky ass players killed me just cuz they had the shottie 11. the sniper rifle has 5x zoom, a genius idea...i hated in MP when sniping, sometimes the targer was too far in 2x, but so close in some situations in 10x that i couldnt see. having 5x was a great idea for that in-between, 2x was in the pistol ne way. 12. i havent been keeping up with the status of the pistol in H2. someone just said that they heard it was in, but with more power and no scope. if thats the case i'd still be happy that my favorite weapon is back. even though they took off the scope, its only fair...it really had all the advantages except melee. plus, what kind of pistol has a scope ne way?? 13. as of now, my favorite weapon is the battle rifle. it has the 2x scope, 3-shot burst out of zoom, and a single shot fire rate in zoom visibly faster than the old pistol's semi-auto fire thats it for now i guess, feel more than welcome to comment but dont complain, or an evil dildo will attack you at your computer. also, i know this was an old video, so there is a lot of hope that many of the things we didnt like in the video will at least be ameliorated in a slight way at least before release. the game is still gonna own ur soul, never forget that

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] legendary trizz i noticed that the games are timed in CTF.. [/quote] it was only in that one,u can do that in halo 1 too, they just did it so no one would drag on the game so they could play extra long....and thats a type of CTF not the original
