Halo2/3 chat.

Sublique, there was talk of an artifact in the first book. I currentlydo not have the book but I can tell u what i remember.

The covenant were glassing a plannent named cote d' Azur. They didnot glass one of the cities. There was somesortof artifact that the covenant wanted. I believe it had some sort of star chart on it. This is the partwhere John first meets the covenant engineer and the hunter pair. Hope this helps

 

is there anyway to download the new halo 2 maps with out have xbox live, or can if my friend has the maps can i transfer them from his xbox to my xbox?

 

you can do it both ways, use bit-torrent to download them

 

They just released a statement saying that, the maps can only be used on one xbox. So bittorrent is out of the question. Even people with multiple xbox's have to buy more than one copy. Therefore putting them on a memory card wont work. I suggest you just wait until the end of June when they are going to be released on a CD.

 

Yeah, what DID happen to InsideBun?

Anyhoo, I actually don't think that putting the Arbiter in the game was such a bad idea. For a few reasons,

1.It sure lengthen the story out!

2.It shows the story from two perspectives.

Hey doesnt it seem wierd that we keep talking about a video game? I know it has an amazing storyline but...nvm its fun to talk about it. Sometimes it seems pointless though.

 

I agree, I kinof like the Arbiter and I dont think its such a bad idea to play as the covenant and work with covanant soldiers.

 

@ haloxbox, it does seem kinda weird that all these ppl here are so amazed with this game that they take their time just to share their opinions. i bet bungie didnt think that their game would turn into something as big as this.

about the arbiter. without him the stroyline for halo2 would be too short and they would have had to drag it out. i guess playing as him is kinda cool but they should stop there and in halo 3 make it only the mc or mc and arbiter. no more playable characters.

 

Personally I think that the Arbiter was a bad idea. I think Bungie changed the feeling of Halo, by introducing the Arbiter. In Halo CE you were in charge of a super soldier and this meant that you felt powerful while playing the game. Now that we have two powerful playable characters there is a conflict in which character you are [bold]supposed[/bold] to support. Now the same feeling of support is not felt as we are split between two characters. Since Halo 2 has very linear, (meaning that you are guided through the game and have a set role) this conflicts with the two main characters. Yes the Arbiter add depth into the Covenants history as a race, and gives an insight into what they think about the Halo’s, but we already knew that from Halo CE. I think that without the Arbiter the levels of Halo 2 would have been more consistent, but instead we are taken back and forth to different places, which often leave the gamer confused. Halo 2 could have been a bigger success if there were more Master Chief levels, but instead of getting 15 levels we got about 7, which is a dramatic cut off Halo CE.

 

good point, I did kind of feel powerful and unstoppable with the Master Chief especialy knowing everything his been through in the halo books. But we really dont know that much backround info on the arbiter like MC.

Peace out!

 

Yea thats y i didnt like the arbitor being put into the storyline.

 

Yeah I kinda summed up everything in that one paragraph about the Arbiter.

 

Playing the Arbiter was good in my point, but the jumping back and forth sucked. I hope for halo 2 u can choose to play the story of master chief alone. and then when u beat that u can choose to be the arbiter for a completlydifferent story.

 

Im guessing you meant Halo 3. Did you play Halo CE, and are you a big fan of Halo?

 

I think that the arbitor should just go away in Halo 3. they should just show him falling off a cliff or something.

 

lol Thats the best comment I've seen about the Arbiter yet.

 

Well in Halo 2 the playing the Arbiter wasnt that bad, but it was a little confusing storyline, i would have liked to play the whole game as the Chief...I heard that for Halo 3 possibly you will be playing as Master Chief, The Arbiter, Hunters, Cortana, and Brutes so brace yourself!

 

Well I'm sorry that is most likely to be false, as Bungie would never make the mistake of including that many playable characters its suicide. The most that you will ever play as is three but even that is pushing it. To include Master Chief, The Arbiter, Hunters and Cortana you would be looking at a very confusing game. Also how the hell would you play as Cortana.

 

Woops...I meant that there going to choose one more to play as and those are the people running...Cortana is probebly going to be the next cause somebody told me you will be able to make buildings with here and she can order new stuff like vehicles or something else???anyway i think its a messed up idea!!!

 

Cortana will never, ever be a playable character. A.I's never become playable.

 

yes playing as cortona is a very bad idea and the arbiter sucks he doesn't have anything good about him he has got the same sheild as master cheif and a cloak that sucks. although it did come in handy. but he still sucks. it would have been way better if master cheif killed tarturas and the arbiter went to save earth but master cheif got there by using halos teleportion device like in halo 1 but im not sure if you could go that far and if it only works on halo but remember the moniter was going all over with cheif till he turned bad.
