hi all! i've been talking to my buddies and a few things we decided should definitely be in halo 2:

A) elites playable in multiplayer
B) double rocket launcher (or rocket launcher/fuel rod cannon)
and lastly C) & D)

any of you who have read the three books out know how drastically over-rated the plasma weapons are... will they be improved in the game??? and also over-dramatized was the cheif's physical strength... if he's that strong, how come you can't kill grunts with one smack?

well i haven't read the board yet, so i may come off as a total tool, but cut me some slack, and gimme a little feedback plz...

P.S.: also, why do you only get to attack with weapons? doesn't the cheif have fists???

i doubt hes really that strong even for a spartan thats extremely hard. but i heard that his armour just gives him extra strength and abilities. and on legendary i have once killed a grunt with one melee. i dont know if it was previously weakened or not but i did it

My perception; From everything stated and how it would seem, it looks like the Master Chief would be participating in Halo on normal mode in which it is possible, if you're close enough, to kill a Grunt with one melee attack; but also you need to understand that Bungie boosts AI capabilities in order not to make everything too simplistic for you.

I think in multiplayer we should get to choose members of the convanent instead of JUST elites. I dont know if we'll be able to use double Rocket launchers cause MC doesn't have 4 hands and it takes two to carry one rocketlauncher..

Dual Rocket Launchers would be stupid. First of all you wouldn't be able to see. and as mentioned above, it takes 2 hands to hold one rocket launcher.

I agree it would not work.

even if you could hold the two rocket launchers, how would you be able to fire them without falling over or making a fool of yourself?

exactly and it would just be stupid because no one would get any other gun except for those because the launchers r the only things some people r good at. it would be dumb. i have also thought the other guns though as to y he cant hold two battle rifles. it said in one of the books that when he held an assault rifle it was no more heavier than a pistol to him.

Elites are the only real covenant alterego of the spartan though
Shields
Tactics
Size and weaponary

With the 2 RL thing, in HaloCE you notice the master chief needs 2 hands to carry 1 rocket launcher, i mean how would you really reload 2 RL's without putting one down
