who knows when halo 2 comes out bungie are chaing the dates so quicklyand the game looks so wicked
with lots of new things
Each player can use an individual box in LAN games (up to 16 boxes)
Players can join a game in progress
If the game host leaves, the game will migrate to another host and keep on going!
The host of a game can lock it, preventing anyone else from joining
You can play as Spartans or Elites in multiplayer
Player models can be customized with color schemes and emblems
The handheld rocket launcher includes a target tracking feature - when zoomed in an enemy vehicle, the reticule turns red and the rocket will home in on the target.
The needler has received a fire-power upgrade from Halo 1 (it no longer just leaves a nasty skin rash)
You can dual wield single-handed weapons
The Covenant Energy Sword can be wielded by players!
The Warthog and Ghost can both be boarded and are both fully destructible
The Warthog in this case was equipped with a rocket launcher and also comes equipped with a horn (R trigger) as well as an e-brake (L trigger).
The Ghost is equipped with a boost feature (L trigger) to zoom away at 2x the normal speed (but you can't shoot or steer as well)
New map = Zanzibar
Destructible fusion cores litter the map and will explode when shot (and kill nearby players)
The defensive team has two stationary turrets at their disposal - but both can be blown up with a well placed shot(s)
You have to hold down X to pick up the flag
The map has tons of interactive and destructible objects: breakable windows, opening gates, lowering bridges, destructible columns and more..
this is the plot
the Covenant forces will attack Earth, and Master Chief will take the battle to the Covenant. As with the first Halo, there will be a few new twists that you definitely won't expect.
