Isn't HP a printer company?

I have quite a few friends who are convinced that Halo 2 is like the Mother of all games when it comes to multiplayer, but we'll see how it really ends.
Things I would have liked to see:
Pelicans in multiplayer
Shadows (covy transports) in multiplayer
More maps
Destructbile vehicles really change the strategy involved in CTF rounds - a ghost or warthog is used as a getaway vehicle - if you can destroy it that means that it's easier to defend your base or harder to steal the flag after your ride's been smashed. That also means that the people who are on the offensive have a better opportunity to stay on the offensive. Ever remember those games where it was, "Now where can I find a ride?" after you'd just been pounded to oblivion on the other side of blood gulch? Won't be happening anymore. Vehicles return to their original position after a few minutes of not being used.
Ok, this is just me:
Keep health, keep indestrucible vehicles (or add "mechanics" or something). Add banshees, new hogs, wraith tanks, plasma swords, covenant sniper rifles and dual wielding. Tone down the pistol but keep the zoom, keep the original assault rifle but also add the Battle Rifle which is a bit more powerful. Do not add homing rockets.
I liked the covenant section of the plotline; showing the game from both sides is an awesome idea, though very hard to execute. To avoid this complication Bungie kept the human and covenant plotlines relatively seperate with only a brief point where they intertwine. I think an additional overlap would have been pretty cool, such as fighting two missions in the same arena (like New Mombossa) for two very different objectives. Begin as the covies taking over, end as Master Chief cleaning up... Course, that's me.
Oh yeah, LET ME drive the scarab. C'mon Johnson. You have the biggest gun in the whole game and you have to let me and my dinky banshee destroy everything. Sheesh.
I have a few more gripes, but I'll save them for later .

Ah. Avatara accidentally reveals that he is indeed aware of the frightening phenomenon. Don't worry Avatara, at least you didn't take part.
Err - you didn't take part, did you?

I think she meant Ritalin, the drug to control Attention-Deficit/Hyper-Activity Disorder, rather than riddlin', the favoured pastime of that old time Batman villain, the Riddler.
Either way, I'd hate to see her try her hand at either.

I thought Ritalin was a date-rape drug.

This post is now null because it was referring to a post vecoriwen made that was deleted because she was a bad, evil, dirty girl and broke every rule in known existence resulting in her untimely punishment of pictures of Azzy and his pet frog as well as being forced to read long run-on sentences that should've ended three lines ago.
