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!

I'm from Germany, and I wonder whether there'll be an english language "soundtrack" (voice etc.) on the German Halo 2 discs. Halo was all-german here with no option to change the lanuage, which was kinda sad to me. So, will I be able to play the game in English with my German PAL version of the game or will I have to import a disc from the UK? Thanks in advance for maybe considering to answer my question. ;) Carlo

Frankie, will you ever beat Brian in a mutiplayer match? And how badly does the pancake-eating one destroy Shishka in a multiplayer match, and how much smack is talked around the office between the two of them, now that Shishka is there?
-
Does the overshield trick still work? What color did Alta choose for her hair? How many preorders have there been already? Are any old levels returning? Will there be random weather? Will there be night and day multiplayer maps? Are there any unannounced vehicles? Are there any new powerups? How many maps are? Is Burial mounds still in? Have you bought out Costco yet?
-
I always wondered this: With the game coming up to going gold and working in Bungie I ask which do you prefer? [*] Earlier days - Not as chaotic probably and more freedom in what may be put into the game. [*] Later days - No sleep, crunch time, but being able to test your game and enjoy all the hard work put into it. Sorry if someone has a question on this already. If you read it thank you for taking the time.

I have a question, please answer this... Will we get something really good if or when we complete the I love bees puzzle and is it Halo 2 related?
-
Q1:Will the phantom be drivable? Q2:Are the features like sprinting peaking round corners etc still in? Q3:How many weapons and vehicles will there be?

Who has the worst smell at bungie and also whoes never had a girlfriend? (the anoying guy that says "Take It" on the e3 movie)

[color=white][b]I doubt that this will be answered, but here goes! When are you guys (Brian and Frank) going to have another Sketch Vs Frankie battle? Because now that we've seen multiplayer in the flesh, I can think of no better way of showing us a preview video of Mulitplayer (what it'll be like etc) than seeing a pure slug-fest! Come on gents, surely this is ok. Just stuff we've seen already I mean. Thanks, JAY132[/b][/color]

Is it really a "window´s blue screen" that turns up on the screen when you turn off the security door in zanzibar?
-
Will there be a follow up to the first Halo? If so, is there a possibility for a third? Can you remote detonate the plasma grenade by holding down the trigger after throwing the grenade? I don't know where I found that out. Are there any evasive maneuvers for the master chief in mulitiplayer? Like diving, rolling, jumping jacks, or flips. In regard to secrets, what percentage of the game do we (the public) already know about and what percentage is still unreavled in multiplayer.i just wanted to say that im really excited about the game, have already gotten a posse of people to go get the game and watch out for mugger, this game is going to be hard to find for those who didnt preorder it, and im especially excited about the music, its what makes your heart pound. my question is about downloadable content. will the atv be downloadable? And, do you guys at bungie love redvsblue as much as us, and if know if season 3 is going to include elites.I refuse to wade through -blam!- to find out if this was said or not, will there be online 2 player coop? Do the books tie into the story of halo?....will normal softcore gamers who havent read the books be lost? The story behind ilovebees?What Does Ilovebess.com Have To Do With Halo 2 ?Will tanks be destructable in the retail version? Can the game be patched if bugs do turn up? How do you do rolls/loops in banshees? Do you have to have an emblem on your armour? How long does it take for the Plasma Swords fail safe to cut in?1. It has already been stated that we can play as MC or an ELITE. Any other characters enabled in the MP environment for "play-as"? Any opportunity to play in as many bodies as possible? 2. So...now Brian is a married man. Does that mean he'll calm down and stop being such a spaz when he goes to LAN events? He's always so uptite, jittery, and appears anxious about everything. (note: this was sarcasm). Really, how was the honeymoon? 3. Is there ricochet damage in MP? 4. Anyone coming to the HBO Lan on 10/2??[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] morriss I'd like to know how the game is comming along. Frankie himself stated the last few weeks will be about t-blam!- frame-rate issues. Has this begun, and how is it going?[/quote] It should be tr-imming no -blam!-! lolHow is the party system for online going to work?What is the max amount of friends you can have in a server with you in a matchmade game?I want to know if there is any "lead" in xbox live.Will System Link Co-Op be possible?How many single player maps are there? and how big How many multiplayer maps are there? Which levels are returning from halo one ?hi, i know people have asked you about this but any new vehicles or weapons in multiplayer now?? also will there be blood gulch again, but with added features...? I played halo 2 at gamestarslive, it was ok, i found out that when you shoot glass, it doesnt all shatter, peices chip off. What would happen if you shoot a rocket through it??? Any new features in multiplayer??? Thank you so much, halo2mad [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SilverStallion I have a question, please answer this... Will we get something really good if or when we complete the I love bees puzzle and is it Halo 2 related?[/quote]My question is: for the clan aspect of the game, will I be able to create my own icon to use? Or are we only going to be able to use the pre-set ones? I ask this on behalf of 75 other Penny Arcade Halo 2 clan members who all are anxiously awaiting this game to get our funk on. Peace out you kings of menMy question is how will ranked XBL games work in conjuntion with the buddy list. Say I am a high ranked player, but my buddy logged into his own Xbox is a lower ranked player and we are using the buddy feature to play in the same games. Will the service place us in a game according to my ranking, his ranking, or an average of us both ? thxAnother question will two players be able to play Campaign mode over LIve? If not, why, not? Not being rude, what I mean is was it an idea that you tried, how difficult is it to implement such a feature?Ok Frankie I have three quick questions. 1. Will the ATV's be in Halo 2? I made a bet and my left nut depends on it. 2. Is there really a third version of the Warthog with a Gauss turret or whatever you want to call it on it? 3. Will you still be able to "dash" in multiplayer? I heard a lot of rumors about this early on and I think it would be an awesome feature to have. Bonus question: Are there any human weapons for multiplayer you haven't told us about yet? Thanks Frankie.How many multiplayer maps will their be? How many multiplayer modes will there be and what will they be? What other maps havent been announced that you can tell us about? Will there be more vehicles that we havent seen yet and what will they be?
