The "what the hell are you looking at!?" system sounds great. I bet the guys over at red vs. blue are drooling over that one!

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-21-2004 07:40 AM

yhe! i bet they are.

new disscussion = what are you most looking forward to in halo 2?

for me its the use of a SMG and use of a customized AR.

Mojo 02-21-2004 08:05 AM

I'm looking forward to the new vehicles, and the Melee system. I'm quite fond of my B-button, on my Xbox Gamepad :D.

Heh, this is my 666'th post... Satan be warned! Here's your superior!

Hobo 02-21-2004 08:28 AM

Here's some of the scans I'm going to be posting, the quality is crap, but you can make out the pictures I'm sure.That is indeed Masterchief riding that dinosaur thing, in the boat and holding the plasma sword. The other sketch is a Sword and Shield Elite, well it would be if I could be bothered to reduce the file size to under 300kb, I might shrink the size another time if any of you ask.

There is some more but I'm still funking exhausted after my short break.

Esus 02-21-2004 08:37 AM

wow, lookin' pretty damn good.

Majic 02-21-2004 08:44 AM

Those are pictures from old old Halo, right?

Anyways, what I'm looking forward to... New maps. Plain and simple. I could be hapy with the same enemies, guns, etc... just with new maps.

Hobo 02-21-2004 08:59 AM

Yup some Halo Third person game, some Halo at E3 in 2000

Fez 02-21-2004 09:36 AM

thats some cool pics you got there Hobo. I wish they did put the LAB (Light Assault Boat)

http://halo.ogresnet.com/screenshots...Boat.sized.jpg in the game...

oddguy 02-21-2004 11:37 AM

:

new disscussion = what are you most looking forward to in halo 2?

-The ability to highjack a vehicle. You know when MC jumps on the ghost and throws the dude right off in the E3 preview? Awesome-ness right there.

-Being able to have your AI friends drive the warthog while you're in the machine gunner position.

-Moon battle.

-Multiplayer with multiple characters, Xbox Live compatibility and flying ships.

-Destroying covenant dropships! hehe

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-21-2004 11:40 AM

oddguys in the game?

anyway, the moon battles will be cool. Also dont forget the new hogs, so well be in snow and jungle enviornments. Unless i'm right about the "Jungle hog" and it is acutally a special forces version.

oddguy 02-21-2004 11:44 AM

oddguys in the game?

Yes sir. Got Halo for my birthday...and I've beaten it.

Ready for Halo 2.

This next Halo looks to have more variety than the previous. When I was playing Halo #1 I got deja vu all the time.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-22-2004 12:00 AM

how'd you get Deja Vu? i only got in once, i saw a flood that looked like a certain forum member... *cough* Hobo *cough*

Esus 02-22-2004 12:49 AM

I think he's talking about the repeated level environments - you know, the control room showing up twice, the T+R showing up twice, the human main ship (forgot name) showing up twice...

I'm most looking forward to new weapons, new vehicles, and most importantly, new levels :D

Fez 02-22-2004 01:42 AM

i got a list of the vehicles we should be expecting.

Blue = confirmed
red = possibly

Human:

Warthog No Gun [maybe]
Warthog LAAG
Warthog M19 SSM [maybe]
Warthog Gauss Cannon

Jungle Warthog No Gun [maybe]

Covenant:
Phantom Dropship
Old Covenant Dropship [MAYBE]- More than likely for all of these:

Creep Transport
Shadow Armored Personnell Carrier
Ghost Standard Reconnaissance and Rapid Atack Vehicle
Banshee Standard Ground Assault Craft
Wraith Mortar Tank

Fez 02-22-2004 05:52 AM

i'm against the civillian cars too. By civillian hog i meant that yellow one seen in the E3 footage. You really have to see that man. I'm hoping we can pilot pelicans.

Codek 02-22-2004 07:17 AM

Piloting the pelican IS part of what they hope to add. Also, the ability to pick up and drop warthogs, tanks, and any other vehicles, then place them where you want.

Fez 02-22-2004 07:57 AM

what about parachuting out the back of them? that would be a very cool feature.
New disscussion, there will be different types of Marines this tame round, who would you rather have back you up?
normal marine
ODST
mortar man
shotgun marine
SMG Marine
Sniper Marine

i'd rather have the ODST's with me!

someone wanted abig Jackle picture? i could only find a concept one:

Hobo 02-22-2004 09:37 AM

Sniper Marine, they were stupidly accurate in Halo: CE, even when you're driving full speed in a Warthog.

Fez 02-22-2004 09:42 AM

yeh, there also responsible for killing most of my squad. Stupid over penatration rounds.

oddguy 02-22-2004 12:22 PM

how'd you get Deja Vu?

:

Bingo.

On topic now...

I'd like the shotgun marines backing me up. Either that or the ODST's.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Majic 02-22-2004 12:48 PM

The sniper marines were kick ass. I loved the fellas'...

Codek 02-22-2004 02:21 PM

:

I killed them for the ammo.

I hate marines. They piss me off.

oddguy 02-22-2004 04:46 PM

I think that was the best approach listed thus far!:p
:lol:

Ahem...:dodgy: Although, it looks like in Halo 2 you're going to have to depend on the marines more...such as having a dude drive the warthog for you while you're in the machine gunner position.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-26-2004 08:16 AM

in Halo 2 you can get ammo from Marines, so no more killing for ammo!

Codek 02-26-2004 10:40 AM

:

That depends on how annoying the marines are. I personally hate computer AI characters that play the game for you.

oddguy 02-26-2004 10:48 AM

I also hate AI characters that don't do a bloddy thing, but act like they're doing something and are just depending on you the whole time. I hate most AI characters. They run around acting like idiots until they die and then you get in trouble for it.

-oddguy :rant:

Esus 02-27-2004 10:44 AM

I normally hate AI allies, but I did actually enjoy playing them on Halo. On certain levels (like level 2) I did actually kill them all though...

Fez 03-02-2004 08:30 AM

the following screens are 100% FAKE, but show us what Halo 2 could be like.

oddguy 03-02-2004 10:22 AM

Those screens look pretty tasty. Who made them? :fuzconf:

Fez 03-03-2004 08:06 AM

its unkown who made them, but snazzy eh?

Hobo 03-03-2004 08:16 AM

I only like the last one of them, the rest I think look pretty crap. Some of them are so blatently cut and paste like the pelican one I don't know how anyone could believe they're real.

oddguy 03-03-2004 09:15 AM

This screen has to be the best out of them all, in my opinion.

http://nikon.bungie.org/screenshots/.../h2_scr_01.jpg

It was good enough to fool my brother!:D

Mojo 03-03-2004 09:17 AM

Hmm, I wonder how they managed to create the "Covie Sniper Rifle" that impressive... Remember, we only have 1 picture of it...

Codek 03-03-2004 02:39 PM

Pfft. They probably created the sniper rifle based on speculation and one or two leaked drawings.

It's nice but it doesn't really impress me a great deal.

Fez 03-04-2004 09:19 AM

yup, the covie sniper rifle is all speculation. Personally i think its a shotgun type weapon. If those two elites were guarding that door, they wouldnt have sniper rifles.

weekly Halo 2 Update

Fez 03-06-2004 01:28 AM

heres another cool shakey cam pic.

Hobo 03-06-2004 01:55 AM

Oooh, I'm hoping he's talking about a portable chain gun.

anyway, ferill, don't triple post ever again. or I'll spank you

Fez 03-06-2004 02:04 AM

a portable chain gun would be shit to have in a fight. To heavy, inaccurate and it needs a huge battery too. Minigun/Chain guns were originally designed to be used to blow trees away in 'Nam so the Hueys could land.

this is a great flash game from Hobo.

'hog Launch

i posted last weeks halo 2 update, heres this weeks:
