2 and black were the best selling Jaffe TMs, and 2 was, in most ways an expansion of 1 so in my mind 1 is implied in the mention of 2, but dont get me wrong im not saying 2 & black are diametrically opposed, i think a truly badass TM game will consoldate the best elements from 2 & black  into one  game in a progressive theme form, where theme applies. everthing else is a matter of car physics(driving, ramming), weapon application and battlefield environment  dynamics.

And about the numbers, you do realize that TMB is higher rated than TM2?

Yes, go on, be angry at one review and circulate your own as fact.

They already made a TM for both parties. HO had Black gameplay with a (mostly) TM2 atmosphere.

i hope he doesnt throw out the black style completely, he had some good ideas in there. the theme should be progressive imo. the main thing tho is having the feel from TM2 i.e. driving physics, ramming physics, etc. as long as that is in there it has a chance to be the best TM ever,

theme isnt nearly as important as play mechanics. but if they mixed the thematic styles of the maps, music, characters & their stories from 1,2, & black(the only real TM games imo) into a progressive theme the game would feel more well rounded. i hope the fatal falls are acually fatal and not like they were in HO. that shit was gay.

too bad the fare grounds from lost prolly wont be in there, the arena was cool too. those maps definitely deserve to see a full release. come to think of it, it seemed as if they had improved the driving mechanics in lost, i could be wrong, its been 2 yrs since ive played it. i do remember really diggin lost tho, but that was before i bought TM2 again after not playing it for 10 years

I also hope they stay with the Black format of play. You really didn't know how deep it was unless you played it extensively. Esspecially against other living people.

That theater feature your talking about would be a blast Xizor. When I was playing Halo3, I thought that was a really awesome perk in the game. I loved watching that shit.

Beta the new TM? There 's an idea. Noone better to beta the new TM than the members of TMA. I'd have to get a PS3. I had fun beta testing Black so....sign me up!!
