Heyyo,
Let's try to focus on the posititves of Halo2, instead of this flaming war shall we?
me buds played it, n' said they removed the fuel rod and the fuel rod from the banshee, THANK GOD I say. Now the weapon balance isin't so horrible. Now, if only I can get them to tell me if the rocket is still n00b with "just shoot near the guy to kill him," or if it's finally changed to "hit the guy with rocket to kill him in 1-shot." I mean, it wouldn't be hard to smoke a guy with a rocket, they seem to move faster than the Q3A rockets, and the guys move slower, and I used to always smoke guys dead on with a rocket on that oldie.
They also say that the dual wielding is great, and that it's hella fun.
The only true downside they said was in the campaign, they diddn't give any details or spoilers, so I neither will I (one of the main reasons, don't know it, and 2ndly, I wouldn't wanna ruin it for you guys if I even knew).
Let's hope for when it comes on PC they keep this weapon balance, or even better, improve it more. ;)
***WARNING: Mini spoiler, but not really if you look at Halo2 Screenies and know the true hisotry of Halo***
And BTW, most of these new weapons? they're actually weapons from the early stages of the creation of halo. The Gauss Hog? look at the e3 trailer of Halo1, and the smg? watch the evolution of Halo video. Heh, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who noticed this, but hey, it's nice to see that the creators of Halo1 who never got some of their guns in the game to finally get the recoginition they deserve in Halo2. =D
