ok
one- palsma pistol was made to do that in H2 so people would use it more often cause it wasnt widely used (hence the needler being ALOT more powerfull and fast shooting for H3). They also made it that way for dual weilding purposes (stated in xbox mag and others before halo 2's release)
two- You forget just how acurate the pistol from H1 was and how deadly it was because of its accuracy. The battle rifle was made to be less accurate by shooting THREE bullets at a time at slightly different angles offset from straight. This made it alot harder for people to 3SK someone from halfway across the map. so in that video, yes, one of those maybe two of those 3 bullets are hitting that guy when the rectile is off of him, but 1 and probably 2 of them were missing when he was shooting. YOU CAN EVEN SEE 1-2 BULLETS EACH TIME MISSING THE TARGET
three- the plasma rifle along with a few other weapons were made less powerfull and less accurate from halo 1 to halo 2 (it was stated multiple times in xbox mag before halo 2 actually came out) to make the game a little harder. that is also why the plasma from the plasma rifle is hitting the guy in that video when the rectile is offset of him because of less accuracy. NOT TO MENTION HALO TWO HAS KICKBACK FROM AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
four- halo 1 the shotgun was so powerfull and accurate from a medium range, but look at H2. if your not playing a close quarters combat level or in a CQB section of the map, the shotgun is near worthless.
five- the fall damage?? it was stupid in halo 1 in the first place. MC would fall for like 15 feet (in virtual world) and either die, or most of his life would be taken away. They deleted this from halo 2 for one reason. MASTER CHEIF IS A SUPER SOLIDER WITH SUPER STRENGTH, HE FLIPS OVER TANKS AND WARTHOGS, AND FALLING 15-20 FEET KILLS HIM???? doesnt follow storyline very well.
the sniping, you cant even prove that, the guy with the controller is in control of that, he can easily manipulate if he wants to hit him or not, by choosing when he wants to shoot, so that isnt even credible.
but yes halo 2 is different than halo 1, and halo 2 takes a different type of skill.
