The X button switches guns to alternate fire, such as a grenade launcher on the assault rifle, heat seaking vs. high explosive rockets etc.yeah...
no.
it really won't.
stating an opinion as fact is a terrible way to go, but that's a horrendously lame attempt if ever i saw one. prone, shield grenade, dash... all far more likely unless they actually have AR's with attachments, and i'm willing to lay ya 8-5 that most assault rifles (if they do take this route) will NOT have the grenade launcher/shotty attachment, leaving you short on teh destructive ammo.
on the dash note... why not? master chief never goes running his fastest. except when he sword lunges, possibly. it'd be great to see him do the ol' phidippides maneuver. poor phidippides. poor chief if he does it. :(
I agree with jacobson but I highly doubt the AR will launch grenades. But I've been thinking that the mystery X button will switch your fire mode. Afterall, many First Person Shooters on the PC have a button to switch fire modes. I find it useful in the Delta force series to switch my M16 to semiautomatic to conserve ammo. Besides having a fully auto AR wouldn't be as good as an AR with burst ( 3-4 shots) and semiauto (as fast as you can pull the trigger). I mean say that the enemy is about 150 feet away, semiauto would help stop the recoil from making you less acurate. Besides didn't Bungie say there will NOT be a shield grenade? Seriously a shield grendade would totaly unbalance the game. But sprint would be probable.
