Re: HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER HANDS-ON!!

The only thing that worries me about this is that it seems like with this particular map the only way you can play CTF is with one one flag, not two. In Halo 1 all maps were at least semi-semetrical so you could have a basically even game of CTF with each team having a similar base. But if this level doesn't have that, I'm wondering if all the multiplayer levels follow this design......me and my friends have played the 1 flag(go get for 3 minutes, then defend for three, repeat) a little in Halo 1, but it was never as much fun as the normal, one flag each game. With two flags you have to play defense AND offense at the same time, puts more strategy in the game(like not killing the other team for a little bit while your teammate sneaks around back in blood gultch and grabs the flag, then as soon as he hops back in his car, kill away!

I hope this was just the way they choose to present the game, but you can still choose the different variations on CTF as you please...

but that's a minor complaint compared to how freakin good this game looks. The wall thing is sweet, i'm sure you'll stop noticing it after a little while, but it's still pretty bad. And all the strategy added with the gates and different positions to man in that level are gonna add a lot of depth I think(not that the game really needs any, but still!). And i'm glad to hear it's not too easy to jump on a moving car and kick an opponant out, that is a really cool additon but if it were too easy it could get unfair. there was just so much info in that article! the rocket launcher now homes if you lock onto a guy, very good.

I'm really re-pumped about this game now. The lack of info and firm release date got me frustrated with it, but this stuff is amazing, can't wait for november 9th!

Re: HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER HANDS-ON!!

i think it was stated on IGNs article that for CTF there will be 2 teams, one team going for the flag, one team protecting the flag. not sure if i read it right though, can anyone confirm?
