I really really hope and pray for co-operactive still will be avilable! IT must be! that's the best game type in halo!! exept for system link, but it's really great playing co-op! If they don't put in co-op, I'm not sure I'm gonna like the game at all...

I would like those man portable machine guns, those ones from the movie "Aliens"... those pulse-rifle/large-manportable machine guns were absolutely tight, that would make the game fun... also, I think he should be able to climb.

something you forgot to write on facts is that there WILL be atvs,it is most likley that they wont have any guns but they will be darn fast, special to get the hell out of a battle and to position snipers, I think it wuold be better if you cuold carry moeri than 2 wepons ata atime, even it wuold be less realistic it wuold be much funer, and 2 use more than 1 waepon at a time, like shooting 2 pistols simultaneosly

I here ya sapartan. I thought it was so annoying that you were limited to only TWO weapons. For example, when you play AotC, at some point, you can take a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle. If you took both though, A) you would run out of ammo fast b) those weapons aren't meant for intense combat situations. Atleast let me carry a damned pistol! I'm sure the MC could carry more than two guns.
Oh BTW, it would be cool if the sniper rifle had an infrared thing so you could see the covenant moving around.

Ya, that would be pretty tight if you could carry about 3 or more weapons, then be able to switch while playing, or on the pause menu like in 007Goldeneye for N64. I alos think a mini gun would be cool. The info for Halo 2 also said that you could flip tables over and duck behind them and shoot. It also said you could shoot lights out and then turn on night vision so that the aliens couldn't see you, but you can see them.

That would be cool if they replaced the flashlight with a night vision setting that could be used with any weapon and without zooming in.

No. At least I don't think so. It's much cooler with a flashlight! it look better, and it's supposed to be a little harder, spotting things in the dark! And if there will be flood, then the flashlight is a good advantage!

Well, the night vision capability on the sniper rifle scope pretty much gets the job done in that respect, wouldn't you say? It's cool when you can just chill and hide, sniper scope on 10X with night vision, watching the covies and the freemother-sunnuvabitch-flood-bastards duke it out...

I hate to even use the word "complaint" when talking about one of the most addictive tactical-combat style games I've ever played, but there's no doubt that the one thing that drives me nuts is that two weapon limit. Even in real life, of course you can carry more than just two personal weapons, so an enhanced Master Chief would have no problem. In fact, MC's suit should integrate a battle harness capable of just that: conveniently carrying a whole range of weapons, including close-contact ones ranging from a plain-old knife to something like a variable-sword (nod to Niven).

I would LOVE to see a couple of quiet close-contact weapons for sneakiness, especially if everybody's AI is going to be better. For those not familiar with Ringworld and Niven's Known Space stuff (which obviously the creators of Halo are...), a variable-sword is simply a handle with an extendable filament one molecule thick, covered by a stasis field. It can be extended anywhere from 1 to around 10 feet, and it cuts effortlessly through ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING. Think of the possibilities...

More Wishes?
-- A great thing would be the incorporation of duels of wits with the enemies, wherein the player whose skills of observation and analysis of the environment and its contents and physical potentials gives him an edge over his opponent, if he can manipulate or otherwise use the environment tactically, and I don't just mean sneaking up behing a rock, I'm talking about serious problem-solving cleverness in a kill-or-be-killed situation with maybe just one other smart enemy. Of course, this would all have to happen in ways that don't slow down the fast-paced, run-and-gun style of Halo that made it so awesome, but perhaps rather improve that style in some way.

-- Also: a way to issue simple but useful orders to comrade Marines might vastly increase their effectiveness.

Thank you to anyone who read this far...

that would be the best. then you woundit have to wait for them to decid to get in the warthog or tank. you could also have them hold back so you could take out the worst of the covie and or flood. Here is a wish: Marines that go in more bildings like to tunnels in AOTCR. So Sorry About The Misspellings

In reply to: Re: wishes

The Marines definately need command orders. For example, in Star Wars: Starfighter, you could command your wingmen using the D-Pad since the joysticks were used to move. Since the D-Pad just controls the directional movement like the joysitck does, it's rather useless. You should be able to use it to command Marines to fall back, cover the MC, move in, hold position, etc.

Also, THE MARINES SUCK AT DRIVING VEHICLES. ON AotC, I got run over like eight times by the Marine on the Ghost. They also ram the ghost into rocks and stuff and flip over, then they don't get back in. The Marines should be able to use ALL vehicles intelligently and join you in the fight against the covenant.

Ya, does anyone remember that screen shot of the master chief squating in front of two tanks giving him cover fire? How could a tank give him cover fire if he couldn't drive it? I hope this is fixed for Halo 2. I understand that marines shouldn't be able to drive you right where you need to go in the jeep, but they should at least be able to follow you.

In the Silent Cartographer there are three jeeps total, but the marines won't drive them! It would be cool if you got in one jeep and then they followed you around in the others. Same thing should happen in assault on the control room when you get in the tank. They should follow in the jeep. Surely the marines would be more comfortable driving a human jeep than a covenant ghost.

Those are some good points. I really agree that the AI should be better, not that it's terrible in Halo, but the marines can be pretty stupid sometimes. Sometimes, they shoot you, and the other marines. They also run over you with the ghosts. They also yell "Cover me!!" and just sit there. there's nothing to cover them for. They have the most trouble against the grunts. For MC, one punch in the back the aliens are dead. It should be almost that easy for the marines. Any wayz!! the AI is one of the minor faults in the first halo. One other thing I think would be cool is if you could upgrade you weapons. You know, you could choose to add a scope to the assault rifle, or add more parts or something like that. What do you guys think?

yeah, i really thought it helped me understand the game's story better, and if you either really like the halo game, science fiction/ action genres or even other people's ideas for technology in the future, you will probably really like this book. i would give it an 8.5/10 for the price. (i got the paperback at Borders for $6)

In reply to: halo book opinion/review

first of all If you've seen the E3 video then you know that most of the facts are true and the others are just logical
second I think the first book kicked ass except for a few typos it was a great book 10/10 the second one was less enjoyable only because you know whats going to happen but still the extras in it are great
third some of those wishes will just make the game suck ass maybe not the flamethrower but put it as like beating the game on all difuculties not something like beat the 1st level in 3 minutes or less and cheats are for losers that's what makes the game good is that there is no cheats

About the marines, they are pretty darn weak! don't you think? ok, you aren't that tough with a bullet in your chest but for cryin out loud! They die because of a grunt, like yoy said! and I'd like more of them! Ex. The Silent Cartographer, the dropships aren't even full loaded with marines, althought it's a big strikeback! AND MORE TANKS!

Also in levels past Two Betrayals, MC must fight Covenant and Flood; Covenant weapons work best against Covenant and human weapons against Flood. One could compromise and use a plasma rifle/shotgun combo, or just AR/shotgun. However, AR, plasma, and shotgun (w/ perhaps a rocket launcher) would be SO much better.

In reply to: whats in halo

Lotsa cool ideas for stuff, but I have to say, I prefer the 2 weapon limit. If any change to it is made, it should be 2 large weapons an a side arm, so you could have the sniper rifle, the shot gun and a pistol, but not the sniper rifle the shot gun and the rocket launcher.
Other ideas:
-Stronger flashlights capable of momentarily blinding your enemies
if you're in a dark area
-Stationary machine guns, a human version of the Shade
-Some kind of guided anti-aircraft rocket, so you don't have to
take a grenade or plasma rifle to the banshees
-Mortars
-Scorpion hatches that close and a more accurate co-axial machine
gun
-The blast shield on the Warthog's gun should protect you better
-A SAW, either human or Covenant
-Clip-fed semi-automatic shotgun
-The ability to dive roll, like Elites when you chuck a grenade at
them
-Ability to sacrifice the use of grenades to pick up a jackal's
shield
-Built in 2x zoom
-At least one naval battle
-An entire campaign where you are the Covenant

-better multiplayer options like perfect dark on N64(customizable soundtrack,player model,statistics etc...)
-huge battles because the only one we got was small in halo at the start of the silent cartographer
-a marine hovercraft
-destuctale terrain
-a stealth mission
-command marines to do things like 'stay and snipe'&'go and get help'

although not all would be suitable with each other i hope to see some of these working well on halo2.

Facts from Jaime Griesemer, its an old interview dating back to october 02 but gives some good details about halo 2

:multiplayer will allow you to play as either Human or Covenant, with all the weapons and vehicles included.

:a lot of the plot focuses on the relationship between the Elites and the Prophets

:you can turn lights on and off and destroy large chunks of the environment

:the AI (covenant and marines) will be able to knock over objects to create cover, they'll climb walls and leap between floors to get into a better position, they'll even destroy the cover the player is hiding behind to force him into the open.

:silenced sub-machine gun

:there will be new driving schemes for the vheicles that include advanced features that let someone who is a more experienced driver do much more complicated manuvers

:squad-oriented online game that pits Human Spartans against Covenant Elites in real battlefield situations (no flags or balls, just real military objectives)

I think that they should put guns on the pelicans and have a mission where you get to fly and/or shoot the pelicans guns

Actually My idea for a action cameramen and
dug in trenches comes from WWW.Kavkazcenter.com the video section, where you can download footage of action agianst the Russians in Chechnya.....all around you hear the distinct sound of assault rifle rifle and of aircraft overhead targeting rebels as the cameraman veers wildly and tries to keep the camera in focus.In others you see a remote bomb blowing a vehicle well into the air, imagine a bomb blowing up a Warthog APC version with six players and a driver in it and saving that footage to the hard drive, one player acts as a cameraman and another acts as a bomb detonator.

And from www.Aeronautics.ru you see Russian tanks dug in the terrain around Grozny, imagine being able to dig in Scorpian tanks within the earth in multiplayer that would be sweet in Halo.I think a shovel as a item to manipulate the terrain would do the trick to build defensive positions within the terrain.

Maybe for Halo 3???????
