Game Informer... HALO2 BLOWOUT
Posted By: CENOBITE <aopaul@hotmail.com>Date: 4/14/04 6:52 p.m.

Aparently, the new Game Informer hitting stands soon, will have quite a bit of new HALO2 information and screenshots. Here's a quote from another forum:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>10 page halo 2 multiplayer exclusive with plenty of new ss's, for those of you drooling over the lone one bungie jusr released (the one on bungie's site is not one of the 8 new ones in GI)

so far from the pictures I can tell that

* you can play with more than two teams! Like I said I haven't read the article yet but one pic CLEARLY shows 2 pink MC 2 light green MC 1 Red MC and 1 Green MC!

* the enviorments are AWESOME!

* they have a pic of a flamethrower turret!

I'll post more about it once I read it.
SINGLE PLAYER

* Bungie confirmed the campaign will take place on both earth and a 2nd Halo Ring.

* Peaking and destructable envoirments are likely but not confirmed.

* Brute and Prophet confirmed, likely to be atleast one more covenant added.

MULTIPLAYER

* Online 5 week Alpha test has been completed. The test was available only to 1000 M$ employees.

* Elites WILL be playable in atleast 1 multiplayer mode

* New multi modes confirmed, (only one described)
Assault - offense carries bomb into defense's base to score a point, roles switch after a point is scored

* "ONLINE COOP LIKELY"

* Interactive envoirments
In alpha version objects could be moved by being shot or by pushing them, could be pushed off ledges.
Final version likely to contain quite a bit more interaction with envoirments.

* Ghost and Banshee will have a new addition - Holding the L trigger will cause engines to flare and cause you to move across the map at unheard of speeds

* New "energy elevator contraption" - stepping into the swirling energy beam lifts the player up like a strong air current. Players CAN fire will being elevated (unlike when using a ladder)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Sounds interesting. I wonder if this all has all been confirmed?
