What downloadable content for Halo 2 do you want most?

Personally, I long for a remake of some of the older levels.

IMO, there are only a couple of multiplayer levels in Halo2 fit for smaller slayer. Midship's probably the best for a 2 on 2 game or a 4 man rumble.
I wish they'd remake Prisoner and Hang 'em High.
Prisoner for a smaller slayer. And Hang 'em High for a smaller CTF map.
 
I don't care about new maps or levels, I just want single player campaign to be playable on xbox live with friends :D

Hang'em High is an awesome map. That'd be sweet if Bungie could devote a whole section of their staff to creating new maps for Halo 2, until the third iteration is released of course.

edit: System link and Live co-op would be considerable upgrades too.
 
dual swords! HAR HAR AM DOUBLE DEAD!

No, seriously, I'd be all for some new downloadable character models though. Elite and Spartan models are cool, but I wanna look like a Hunter while I stomp people! :lol

Chillout was awesome, what a strategic spot for that rocket launcher.

Great map.

I didn't even think about character models.. that would be awesome. But I dont think that would work, because wouldn't everybody online need to download the models before they could see you?
See with maps you can only play on them if you have downloaded them- so the files have to be on your drive.
If they had models it would open a can of worms- everyone on LiVe would need that model on their computer to be able to see you.
Unless they included it in a mandatory LiVe Halo 2 patch. Then that would work.
Or am I totally off base on that?

Edit: Tone down the Sword...


Agreed. Hey Phat, I played with you the other night, under Whitehole. I'm pretty sure you're on my friends list. We need to play tonight or something. I'd love to scrimmage the GAF team if we could get that going.

Hey man. Yeah I saw you came into a game I was playing around in with my brother and nephew. I havent played alot in any clan matches yet (been mainly rumble pit for practice, I hate being a flat wheel for the team), but i'll probably start fairly soon.

I just want all the glitches fixed. I am sick of losing to players who are passing the flag through the wall =(

That's something I've never seen. What maps, and how do they do it?
 
There are hundreds of glitches that are being abused online.

1) Sword teleporting
2) Flag Through Wall
3) Hiding on the top of Headlong ( and by top I mean higher than the banshee can go )

Ect ect, there are so many. I am very close to cancling my live account due to cheaters online.

If you want to see these glitches, I can show you... I have a video that was on bungie.net for about a day until it was taken down ( at least I think it was taken down..... )

Edit : Here is a link, good luck - its bandwidth is almost torn apart

The Sword glide is pretty funny but its kinda hard to pull off. :lol

The whole Sword just needs to be nerfed. I'm in favor of the lunge being changed to a charge move ala Plasma Pistol charge.
 
Sword is not fine

I am not arguing the damage it causes, I think its perfectly balanced as is.

However, the sword is the key to most of the gameplay glitches.

Flying, gliding, ect ect.

Example, on Ivory Tower I was sniping from the top, trying to kill someone near the rocket launcher. He changes to the sword, and flys - FLYS - up to me and kills me in one hit.

After the game he showed me how, and its something anyone can do. I can show u as well if you want to see it ( assuming you havent already )
 
Oh,I wasn't talkin about glitches,but the guys saying it needs to be nerfed :lol What would be the point of it if it didn't kill you in one hit?
 
Haha, agreed.

So many ways to kill a sword user... most people just rush at them....

People who complain about the sword just need to use it more, and you will eventually find its weaknesses
 
I would like to download the rest of the single-player campaign.

Hear me, Bungie? I love the 3/4 of a campaign you released. May I have the rest now?

Did you read what I suggested for nerfing? My complaints have nothing to do with the 1 hit kill.

Haha, I feel the same way

I doubt they will do that though, especially with the new hardware coming in the next year or so

I agree. I was answering the question literally, what I want vs what is reasonable. Plus, adding SP content would infuriate the 4m people who buy the game but don't have Live.

I have not played online yet, so I can't suggest anything there.

Just the rest of the frigging campaign.
 
1st - new maps. hopefully as polished/awesome/interactive as zanzibar

2nd - damnation, hang em high
 
Dear Bungie.

Please don't fuck with the sword. Love you, Donkey69.
 
The sword isn't unbalanced, glitches excluded. You have the ability to shoot a sword user from across the map. If you don't suck, sword users are easy to kill.

That's not as rediculous as it sounds since his Spartan II class had at least one female comrade in the novel. [/Halo geek]

more than that - there's at least two who're featured fairly centrally in the novels (Kelly and Linda), plus at least one who washed out (Yasmine/Durga/Melissa from ilovebees), and i got the impression that it was a fairly diverse mix, overall.

What i want as a downloadable? Black as a selectable armour colour, ffs.

The old PISTOL ! :lol
Click to expand...
Not necessary. Folks really need to start Dual Wielding the new Pistols. :lol Almost just as effective in close to mid-range, and nearly twice as satisfying, IMO. I was playing games with the Magnum as the default secondary weapon this morning, and it felt just like the old HALO. :p

As for downloadable content....

1.) While I'm sure it has been already stated a few times jokingly in this thread, I want a more satisfying closure to HALO 2. :p I know it's not going to happen, Bungie's already said it, but that's what I wanted first and foremost. More Campaign levels set on Earth, a finish that was just as dramatic as the end of HALO... You get the idea.

2.) Re-makes of the Multiplayer maps Hang 'em High, Chill Out, Damnation, and Boarding Action... It'd be nice if we got 'em in that order too. :)

3.) Though this is unlikely, as it would kind of seperate the folks who don't have access to LIVE or it's Downloadable Content, I'd like some fixes to some of the weapons in Multiplayer... Giving the Energy Sword a battery, allowing the Rocket Launcher to Target Track only while zoomed, including the Fuel Rod Gun in Multiplayer(seriously, does anybody else see how Bungie thought it was too powerful for Multiplayer? I don't see it).

4.) Giving us the option to enable destructable vehicles.

5.) Very unlikely, but I'll say it anyways: FALL DAMAGE, God damn it!

* Sai smashes a few chairs.

6.) Fixes for some of the glitches present in the game now. For Multiplayer, at least.
 
more single player levels

addition of system link co-op and online co-op

more player models available in multiplayer (ie: using: grunt, marine, cortana, jackal, hunter, brute, drone and prophet player models in multiplayer games)

add all the old Halo 1 maps (especically my favorite: chill out)

add a "Halo 1 mode" which changed all the guns and physics and everything back to the way Halo 1 was. basically this would be Halo 1 online but using the Halo 2 graphics engine. everything else would play identical to Halo 1.

add a non ranked section that's equal to the ranked section on xbox live (although i heard this was or has already happened [?])

add a quick turn button that doubles your right analog speed when depressed (make this an option). also add the ability to completely map each and every button.

Well, in Counter-Strike custom models have been used for a long time, though they just replace your own computer's view of what those characters look like. If you were to do it in Halo, where it only has two models at its base, you'd need to set up a backup test for no present model on their Xbox in the model coding with the new model downloads that makes all human models revert to the Spartan if the custom isn't present and to the Elite if the desired custom alien isn't present.

However, this isn't a real issue with XBL since new models would be very small downloads and could easily be added into the mandatory Halo 2 updates that Bungie is hopefully planning to do anyways.

I'd also be a big fan of more downloadable storyline maps. It'd be real cool if they make a couple 4 player co-op maps that tie into the storyline, for use online and offline ideally, though just offline would be good enough for me.
 
5.) Very unlikely, but I'll say it anyways: FALL DAMAGE

Yeah, what the hell was that about?
Why don't I get hurt when I fall from a ridiculous distance anymore...
I don't like that.
 
Fall damage would be horrible since you only have a shield...only way I'd like to see it used is when falling from a Banshee.
 
Sidewinder MP map.
Online co-op support.
Better filtering options for finding non-ranked games.
Having enemies take damage when you boot them from a high enough Banshee.

There is fall damage. If you're too far up when you jump -- even if the surface you're jumping to can be traversed -- you will die.
