    I hat to interrupt, but Kimsummers, you are as much an idiot as the guy Derek banned. Quit giving away spoilers (true or not) about the game, it's obvious you are here to cause trouble and have no intention of actually participating with constructive posts. Please do me a favor and leave, before you get banned too.

    I know you're purposely acting stupid and defying my wishes, so therefore you are warned.

    Stop your behavior immediately or you will suffer the same fate as Tony.

    yeah... Halo 2.. november 9th.. i have xbox live and plan to take full advantage of it.. they have proximity mics online so u can talk to whoever is close no matter the team. so u get to lay a verbal smack down on some clown u just owned.. does anyone know which multiplayer maps will return from Halo and be in Halo 2? i am assuming blood gultch.. any ideas? also.. i hear there isnt much campaign gameplay time..

    Proximity mics? That's cool. I'm assuming that none of the original Halo maps will be included in Halo 2, but will be later be available for a paid download off of live.

    i think i read somewhere tho that they will be including some maps off Halo1..
    but downloading for a fee would make sense. itd be a way for them to get coin off us. i also read and saw that most of the new maps are asymmetrical which is cool but may get old.. maybe you can "win" the classic maps like how you got stuff back in the day by playing goldeneye and perfect dark...?

    You do know that "asymmetrical" means "not symmetrical", right? The maps are going to be totally different than there were in the original game. There isn't going to be two bases on every map. They're going to be, basically... hell, I don't know how to explain it.

    It would be awesome if you were able to go from one map to another during the same game session.

    i know what asymmetrical means.. you said exactly what i meant by it. the "non-two base" idea.. i was just saying that those will be awesome but may get old and maybe id wanna go back and play the classic style "two-base" maps..

    So basically, you guys are saying that the maps are not designed evenly for both teams, instead of going for the even two sided maps, they have just created levels how they wanted. If this is the case, what about CTF? Different colored teams could have benefits due to the map layout.

    Aah, okay. I get it, there will be CTF maps aswell as the asymmetrical maps. That's great IMO, the levels will seem alot more realistic (well, as realistic as you can get with Halo). Just over a week left for the UK, i can't wait...still.

    the maps i saw and heard about were sorta like "protect the base".. an example i saw is one team starts on the beach and the other is in a base. theres a wall that stretches the beach and theres one way through it. the team on the beach get warthogs and the team in the base get sniper rifles and rockets.. so the team on the beach rushes the base while they protect it..

    I dont view this as much of spoiler but like I said, watch it. Be careful in what you say as not everyone is fond of people spoiling shit.

    In the leaked Frenchie version, it was just those two. But i heard that that one wasn't complete and there'll be like 13 more.
