it looks awsome, but.... The destructable vehicals are a cool feature, but I kinda hope there is an option to turn that off in multiplayer, much like there was an infinate granade option in Halo 1.

I dunno, I just liked the constant hijacking and vehical that can tricks done in halo 1 with granades, rockes...etc. At least they respawn though.

yea
multi player should have non destruct
like halo the first
hehe yea
those are fun
i heard its customizable suits too

The Warthog and Ghosts only LOOK like they are destroyed, when you destroy them (like in single-player Halo 1) the dashboards get all messed up and the wheels come and such. The look effect is in multi but, the Warthog and Ghost can't be destroyed, they can be damaged visually but, not to the point that they stop working. Pick-up the current issue of Official Xbox Mag for more info (and SCREENSHOTS!!!)

edit --@ AX, the customized suits is not confirmed at the moment but, it has been hinted about from Bungie.

did you two see the video? There was an pre-E3 video in which bungie members played a demo of halo multiplayer. It wasn't just a office movie like single player. It was at a rally. They were showing that you can hijack vehicals and destruct them. But eventually they, blow them up (in which they resawned afterwards, like unreal), and the rocket launcher can home. They also showed decals that they said were customizable, showing the suits with them on as well...If you want the gamespy video, I have the hi-rez version. It's like 250mb for about 10mins of play. It is where they announced the november 9th release.

Give me a pm if you only saw the first few minutes where it ended before any actual gameplay. I can send it through windows messanger (30kb/s though).
