hey,in multi-player mode,it would MAYBE be better if you guys put bots in it,so ifsomebody couldn't have friends come over or something they could play against bots and practice

another thing is the levels,if i worked for bungie,i would have them keep as many of the multi-player levels as they can that were in the first one

weapons-you have to try to keep all the weapons even though i heard there are going to be new ones

and make it so you can have at least 4 people in campaign mode,that is one of the main things i didn't like in the 1st halo

Why did that guy underline everything?

No clue.

Because underlining is in. Everybody's doing it!

Well, here are some of my ideas and hopes for Halo 2. I just recently found Breakmanx.com and listened to the interview. If Greg still reads this thread though, here we go. I know some of these have already been touched on, but I'll just throw them in here anyway.

My number one wish for Halo 2 is Co-op over Lan and XBox Live. I would just love to play co-op full screen.

The sword and flame thrower would make excellent weapons, and I'd love to see them in the game.

There just has to be more hellarious chatter from the covenent grunts. This is one of my favorite reasons to still play Halo 1. I love messing with those guys. I think my favorite is when I stick a plazma grenade to one, and he says, "Not again." or when I'm trying to melee one with my gun and he says "Nice Cyborg." It never gets old.

Bots for multiplayer would be very cool too, especially if you could mix and put bots and people into a game in all the modes except maybe co-op. I used to play Perfect Dark all the time, and the amount of options and bot settings were amazing. If something like this were done for Halo 2, it would be excellent.

That's all I can think of for now. Even if these things aren't all in the game it will still rock. My only main complaint for the first game was the repetition of a couple levels, especially the escape level where you have to disable the generators. It was still fun though.

Wrath, I must say, your post has to be, by far, the most composed and informative I've ever read in this thread. Yours is the model by which all other suggestion posts should follow.

In addition, you mentioned you used to play Perfect Dark all the time. You now have my complete respect.

Flamethrower, Bots, Perfect Dark, 2nd that. And I finally have a suggestion to make: make the tank control like in Battlefield. WASD for direction, mouse for turret. The mouse for steering is awesome on the 'Hog, but it doesn't work for the tank, gotta be able to shoot and drive in different directions.

Um... I didn't think the Xbox has WASD keys.... And I absolutely refuse to play Halo, Halo 2, or any other console FPS for that matter on a goddamn keyboard.

Halo was a great game and alot of people will agree with me but
alot of people also agree that after one beats the game a couple of times
on legendary the game get boring by it's self. I would for this to be
the case in HALO2 this would be a disrespect to the gamers. I suggest
adding bot's to the multiplayer so that a single player could feel great
a team play when there by them self. This would take halo2 to a new
platue of fun.

Shit, my bad. Halo 2's not coming out for pc. I knew that. As for "goddamn keyboard", you'd better just watch your fucking mouth.

Location: Physical Location is for Physical Beings.

so, you live in Newark too eh.......i wouldn't admit it either....

Realm · Post by **Realm** » Sun May 09, 2004 8:20 pm

Lol. Is Newark a ghetto? I didn't actually go into Newark when I was up there, just drove past it on the turnpike. After July though, it'll read "Kings Point , NY" and that will be quite cool.

p.s. 400 posts! A w00T for JayT!

I just wanted to say that, with the knowledge that energy swords are in Halo 2, there should be no need for another ugly and grammatical-error filled post asking for it. Thank you.

/me snickers uncontrollably.

Maybe you should leave a grammatically correct request in the #Team.BmX posting.
