Another Theory of Mine is that Halo 2 will start out as the Plotline of FS. Capturing the AJ, the CASTLE facility, and the unyielding Heirophant, then it will go into the Halo 2 we know about.

perhaps, who knows?

BAH! Heck no it'll start out where the MC's jumping to earth from the gettyburg!

I read the books, yes htey survive but think people the other spartans wont be AIs! They'll be hardcoded into the game as like animations or something! Because if they die then the story line gets screwed up.

I bet you meet them and it goes through a scene where they're talking and the other spartans are animated.

I saw something in one of halomods news hold on lemme fined it...

BLAST! I can't remeber whats it was, but I know that in one of the recent bungie updates there was a scret hidden message in it.

Ttust me I knows.

I'm gonna go search for a while for it, I'll edit this if I find it.

im not doubting you, but why would mc have to jump to earth, unless the ship he was on was going to blow up? and yes, if other spartans were there, they would have to be hardcoded... never thought o that

Hmmm.. maybe because...

1. All the pelicans,longswords, and other drop devices are gone (which they are)

2. UNSC battle cruiser cannot enter the atmosphere, they would fall apart.
however the POZ was an exception, it entered from the side of the ring which allowed it to not have to fall through the entire atmosphere.

I wonder how A.J. gets to earth though...

if he can "die" a bunch of times on halo and come back to life, im sure bungie would have no problems getting him into halo 2. he might just be... there...like he was on earth the whole time while you were on halo. johnson is a sneaky fellow

GUYS, i just found a website that talks about the halo 2 AI, and there is NO SCRIPTING in it, and they are really smart AIs. they can climb things, call in search parties, arent tied to a certain part of map so theyll track you down, use flashlight in dark, dual wield, find cover... human AIs can call in snipers, flip tables for cover. both races will be able to know which things are destroyable and will shoot down cover, break windows to shoot from, break down doors. Covenant will have grudges, like brutes hate jackals and will attack each other sometimes as you walk in, AIs will be able to assess danger and wont go into a certain area if lots of enemies are there...

There IS going to be scripting, I guarantee you. They can't make the game work without it. But the other spartans can be AI too. Remember T&R? If they die, the mission auto-fails. Problem solved.

As for MC jumping off the ship, remember the NM vid? There's those gigantic turrets shooting. That might've been a problem.

armed&triggerhappy · Post by **armed&triggerhappy** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 9:14 am

in the article they had something called AI hints or something, just read the article, and yeah, i did forget about the turrets... the MAC guns, right?

Those huge cannon things in the background. He looks at one for a second in the SP demo.

E3 2003 Demo(nstration) There wasn't any public playing. The very first vid of ingame play. He stops for a second, looks off into the distance and you see this big turret thing shoot (down a pelican?).

armed&triggerhappy · Post by **armed&triggerhappy** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 7:53 pm

OOOOHHHHH that one, the big purple covenant one? its shooting at a building, not a pelican. if you look to the left you'll see the building sag a bit. yeah i guess thatll stop a cruiser from getting close enough

i duno what u guys think, but i got a hunch that Linda will appear in Halo2

FReAK · Post by **FReAK** » Tue Oct 05, 2004 5:35 pm

Yea. Like when all the sord elites land next to u in that one part of the vid demo then you should be like over whelmed and after a certain amount of time it shows you beat up real bad and then all of a sudden you hear a *crack* *crack* and down fall two elites. you look up and you see a spartan laying on top of a building. Then on your com channel you hear a little combeep type thing [their way of sayin hi or somthing in the boox0rz] and then you get up and blast them to hell while Linda snipes them. Then ur all done and you start talking to Linda, you both get picked up on a pelican, and its all good.

Edit: changed kellly to linda

{G}H0g-Jump4h · Post by **{G}H0g-Jump4h** » Tue Oct 05, 2004 5:36 pm

yea, what freak said.... but I thought Linda was the sniper. wasn't Kelly the fast one?
