That's just falling to your death, I'm talking about a big chunk of your shields gone or blinking after an enemy has boarded your Banshee and booted your ass off the highest point of Coagulation.

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.

Not just the Banshee. You can jump from rediculous heights and not feel a thing in HALO 2. At the very least, they should have it so that if you wear an opponents shields down, and they are forced to jump off the hight point of a map, they die.

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

Holy crap that's bad. It looks like a few of those tactics require a bit of practice, but the passing flags through the wall glitch is a joke. I hope some of these issues will be addressed at some point.

It does require practice and knowledge, but I know some people now who can pulls those glitches off like its just a normal part of gameplay.

There are other ones like using the sword + warthog to make yourself fly.

Thats an easy one to explain, and its also one I found on accident.....

Sit in the passenger seat of the warthog and make sure you have the sword equipped. Have an opponent come close enough for your cursor to turn red and pull the right trigger. You will hear the clash noise as if you did the charge uppercut, but your character did absolutely nothing. Now, have them walk, fly, or go as far away from you as possible. Now in the warthog, look at whatever direction you want to go and get out... then you fly.

Go glitchy sword!

"Plus, adding SP content would infuriate the 4m people who buy the game but don't have Live. "

I say fuck'em let thier asses wait for an OXM disc if the want more sp content.

I am willing to agree now that I have Xbox Live

 

[yoshifumi]

i want fall damage and halo 1 maps. halo 2's maps suck.

 

[Legal Step]

An ending....ha ha ha

 

[op_ivy]

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.

indeed. the pistol is still my favorite halo weapon... it just need to be duel weilded with another pistol (plasma or projectile) or smg now. the gun fucking owns

Its hard to find most of the time though

I want to be able to download my money back for buying what turned out to be a rehash of the first game with shinier graphics and no ending. Other than that, I'm good.

Yes. that's what happened.

 

[Redlink]

No... Fall damage would not be horrible, it would make sense.
Can't it atleast weaken your shield or finish you off if you're already weak?

I hate no fall damage.

WORST thing about Halo 2..

One on One Ascension

Whoever gets to the RL and Sniper first just gets it and hides..

I hate it. - turns into a cat and mouse game for 6 minutes.

 

[AstroLad]

A touch-screen steering wheel for the Banshee.

 

[Hellraizah]

All the old maps from Halo 1. Surtout Hang 'Em High and Sidewinder.

 

[Tellaerin]

Class-based multiplayer along the lines of Team Fortress. You'd be able to play as either a human or Covenant team--Covie classes would be based on the races in the campaign game (Jackal = Sniper, Hunter = HW Guy, Scout = Elite w/cloak and energy sword, etc.), while the humans would get equivalent specialist classes, with new character models as necessary.

agreed 100 %

 

[The Guivre]

Linda and Kelly come to mind as female Spartans,and there were others

It's good to know that I'm not the only person who picked up the novels.

I'd enjoy an option beside optimatch a bit more similar to MechAssault's lobbies. It might give the game a bit more of a sense of community rather than randomly being placed in a match against guys you're never going to see again.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

In addition to some of the previously posted stuff in the thread:

Option for invert when flying Banshee, like Halo 1.
Class-based gametype.
Escort gametype.
Jailbreak gametype.
Low-grav mutator/option...at least a map on the outside of the Cairo.
New MP weapons.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I started a new thread on this, forgetting about this one. What on earth....

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Guess we don't find out what it is (if anything) for another 3 weeks...
