Interview with Halo2 programmer

[Guest]

i think i would be awsome if there could be 4 players for co-operative and be able to use system link for it too.

I think that Master Chief should be able to do a cart-wheel in mid-air. This could be accomplished by pressing the "A" button (jump) and then quickely after pressing the D-pad either left or right (which i assume are the lean buttons) with "A" again. if done right this move would add stradegy of dodging, would not be over the top, and would loook sweet.

I think that players should be able to enter civilian vehicles as a last resort(mainly multiplayer) becuase it gives more detail to the game itself and would be funny. Think about running your friend down on a human-city multi-player level, he's scared and out of ammo. He can't go anywhere until he looks back and sees the small car. He jumps in while you lay suppressive fire on his butt. He can drive away or try to run you over. He drives away but you pull out a rifle and lay down 5 shots (civilian cars should blow up very easy and should be weak) and BAM! it explodes and the back of the car lifts up into the air. All while your laughing it up.

3 words-Usable Elite Sword

[Gwaihir]

Yeah, the post is a bit old and all

Everyone wants an Elite Sword. But the swords are too powerful - huge sweeping attacks, instakilling on contact. So there needs to be some balancing force. A couple suggestions:

-Carrying/turning on sword causes your shields to either drop over time or just instantly zero - this way you can't just charge a formation and wipe out the lot of them as soon as you get in range, because you'd never make it through their fire head-on.

-Jackal shields and elite swords do not get along: hitting one shorts the sword out, possibly with a resulting shock to you or just some sort of explosion happening. Thus it is a risk to use the sword, and if you hit a jackal, you're vulnerable to anyone outside of the blast area.

-Or something else, i'm sure there are other ideas floating.

Really, we promise, the sword won't break the game if its limited! pleeeease?

please all us snipers could really use a new rifle....... well at least one that doesnt show where u are cause of the velocity of the bullet ?....... oh and not to mention could you give us some new type of armor that somewat blends in to teh environment ? one last thing.... if it isnt to late to add this in plz do it fast and post what time the game will be coming out... ive been told 4/04/04, 2/02/04 and many others.

Have a great day!

0.o A sniper rifle that doesn't leave trails??? No, see that would be abusive as hell and completely unfair. The people being sniped at would have no way of telling where the bullets are coming from. I know you must enjoy sniping, as is obvious by your name, but the things you're asking for are abusive as hell and would give snipers an incredible advantage, pretty much ruining the game.
Besides, I'm certain that by now they probably have all the gameplay logistics like weapons and style already workeed out, and are just working on flushing out bugs in the code (especially that wonderfully difficult-to-work-with Live code).

[SniperTillDeath]

i guess your right about it being abusive..... but if it was only in co-op or single player

Ps:how do i get a pic. under my name ? and i mispelled the name when i registered, im snipertothedeath

[SniperTillDeath]

hard to believe that half a month ago the ETA for pre-ordered Halo 2 games was Feb. 2 ,2004...... NOW ITS 4/04/04!!!!! theres most likely going to be reports of kids hanging themselves because they couldnt wait for the game!!



kids like me are so anxious for halo 2 im thinking 'bout suicide myself.....




ps: not really

[phylof]

Never expect Halo 2 to come out, just be happy when it does. This will make it easier on everyone.

[the fuzzy panda]

to answer snipers question u either need to make a new user name or kiss one of the moderator ass's, i think they can change it.

thats a good philosophy phylof, i like to tell people it already came out then when they rush to gamestop they feel stupid and bitch at me

[RurouniQ]

/me bows down to panda's fuck with people skillz

[Realm]

u either need to make a new user name or kiss one of the moderator ass's, i think they can change it.

No, you just click "Profile" up at the top, and type whatever name you want. Easy.

[Demiveeman]

Let's keep in mind that Mr. Snook works at BUNGIE.....not Microsoft.....Microsoft simply licenses Halo...not makes it.
