Talk:Halo 2/Archive

I've already removed one dud section, and i personally think that everything on this talk page is out of date and/or useless and should all be removed/archived (except my new note). -007bond 23:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I found something cool. If you look very carefully (or not as carefully as I needed to), at objects like the carbine, plasma pistol, also the rifle, there are gauges that tell you how hot/how much ammo there is in the weapon (for example, the "decorations" of the plasma rifle turns colours based on how hot it is). Also, there is a gauge telling you how hard the Warthog's engine is working (in front of the steering wheel). Also, if you throw a grenade, and go up and look at it VERY closely, well, you'll see.

Graphical Downgrade...?
I've noticed that some things like signs and markings on boxes and walls look worse than they did in Halo: CE; they look out of focus and are difficult to read. I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's just my disk, as I got the game used and the disk is damaged to a point that it has trouble loading all the quality levels at the same time making cutscenes look strange for the first couple of seconds after a camera angle change. --PFC Jenkins 18:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Acually ive noticed that to and ya some of the boxes and signs arent as detailed as they were in halo: CE so its not your CD mendoza 5:09, 11 july (UTC)

out of focus? if its blurry they may have done that to add depth.. unless you are staring right at it and its the same then its a problem with Halo 2 the game. Posted by someone

They probably wanted to add some sort of blending or fading affect but ended up with blurry junk --RadicalEdward2 01:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Halo 2 multiplayer maps
There is no consistency through these maps. Something needs to be done about simple things such as naming certain objects like Gravity lifts, and noting whether or not the map is part of the map pack or something like that. -007bond 23:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Disapointing
There were only two thing in halo 2 that i foun dissapointing.

1. They took out the assult rifle. WHY?

2. They ended the game as the arbiter. I thought that was dissapointing. I thought that they should have ended it with Spartan-117 (MASTER CHIEF).

The assault rifle is replaced by some other upgraded weapons, it doesn't matter, it returns in Halo 3. The arbiter is suppose to kill Tartarus, and Master Chief is somehow getting back to Earth, it makes sense, Master Chief hasn't got any more battles until Halo 3!--Master Chief Petty Officer 12:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)--Master Chief Petty Officer 12:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, had they done the levels like this:


 * Uprising
 * Gravemind
 * The Great Journey
 * High Charity

It would have been much better. But since they didn't, Halo 2 didn't have as a climatic ending as Halo 1 did. It was still good though. AlphaPrime 16:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

They want to make it a more mysterious ending, ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 09:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm
Since Halo 2 had a lot of great stuff deleted, what do you think the game you be like if all the deleted stuff was kept? --UNSC AI 01:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sweet man if I could go Mono a Mono with a Juggernat and that Mural Scene would have been nice.

Damn
Those new maps Tombstone and Desolation look damn nice

Yeah, but how do I get to play on them?!?!?!?--MY Place!  · Feed The  MailBox ·I did that!  .I Have Two Sides 18:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Split-screen
Is there any way to have the split-screen horizontal, instead of vertical? I remember reading somewhere it was possible, but I don't know how. -- AlphaPrime 16:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It all depends on if you're using HD settings. If you don't then player 1 is on top and player 2 is on the bottom. If you do then player 1 is on the left and player 2 is on the right.--Fragg3d 19:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Consistency
As with my note on the Halo 1 talk page about formats the game was released on: Halo 2 was not released on the PC and was never released on CD. Halo 2 PC will be, and it should therefore be put on the Halo 2 PC article and removed from this article. -007bond 00:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 17:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Cover
shouldn't it be M instead of +16. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 15:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Different countries have different rating systems for the game. +16 iss just another one of them. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 17:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

um shield aren't weaker
um shield aren't weaker in fact there stronger than in halo 1 the only reason it seems weaker is because the covenant weapons and human weapons are stronger i mean common would you use the same thing over again if it could be improved --Plasmatag 00:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Last 3 levels
It would be well good if the last 3 levels were put in. HДĿΘFáṆ 20:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean?ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 11:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The first trivia fact says the last three levels were cut from the game. ĦДĿΘFáЙ 09:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Vehicles
Under the Gameplay section, can someone add a sub-section on the vehicles of Halo 2?--SWME 16:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Done. simon rjh 18:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
