What gets me is... Single and Dual shot? Hello... what's that about?

He's talking about Dual Weilding.[/color]

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

I already posted how I think/feel that the pistol is the strongest in Campaign mode. But I will never complain of getting sniped out by it.

If you get me once, that's cool. Twice and my "after-life camera" did not show me your position, then you're lucky. Three times and you will never get a chance to reload that hand gun again. I will use any means; and after you crack and your aim goes weak you'll switch to any weapon (even the "crappy" AR which I ritually cut people up with) to try to reverse the tide of the game that was only brought about by the cheap abuse of one of Halo's many powerful weapons.

Ummm, you do know that three pistol shots to the head is an instant kill. Right? So how would you usa any means to kill that person?

Ummmm.... you know i wasn't talking about single shots to the head right? Maybe you should read more carefully before you respond.
I'm talking about frags...... get it???

So, when you get fragged you respawn with full Health and Shields and with whatever weapons you're playing with .... hence "Any Means".

and "three shots to the head is an instant kill" is totally dependent on what game type you're playing. If you read and tried some of my suggested game types than you'd already know that it can take only one headshot to kill on certain setups.

It would be cool to see a hunter carry dual plasma swords that are twice thier normal size. Now that is intimidating.

When hunters have two humongous plasma swords? I think it would be the other way around.

Even though I haven't even read it... the quote above does sound like voice recognition maybe? "player <COMMANDS>".
I can be patient.


I agree because in the Demo at E3 (Assualt at New Mombasa) the Chief goes to a wreckage pile and sees Jackals and Grunts. Then there is a sort of microphone-esqe click noise, and the Marine says, "Frag and clear!". Then he lobs a grenade in and maybe it was a flashbang because no Covies got hurt, but it surprised them and the MC started taking care of business. And working overtime. Dahnanana! ;)

You should talk to my brother. I just beat him 15 to 1 in a game on pistols in Hang 'Em High. He should like to find out how to *try* to ritually cut me up with any weapon before I destroy him again. Too late, he wants a grudge match. (btw, he 21 and has owned Halo since the beginning, and I have owned for around 6 mos.)

uhhh... if you guys are just playing with Pistols then I don't know if I could help your brother since you both have the mighty pistol at you disposal and not a lot of other options.
I would suggest tho, that if you are beating him 15 to 1, that you restrain yourself from using the human pistol for at least some of your kills; using instead the plasma pistol to humiliate him even further or even by sticking him with P-grenades.
I usually do this to my roomate after I beat him in games like 25 to 1. when I get to about 18 or 20 kills I announce that i will now only use <plasma pistol> or <plasma grenades> to finish him off.... it's pretty much just toying with the poor soul, but it's sooo funny when I stick a flaming blue nade on his face-plate with a soaring toss from across the level....

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

Balancing out the pistol into what it should be ( A large caliber close range weapon) while modifying the Battle Rifle into what IT should be ( a medium caliber weapon capable of burst fire and a short to medium range scope) is the best thing that could possibly happen to Halo 2 in terms of human weapons dynamics. It sounds like my dream has come true.

The MOD already clear this up its a frag grenade (that I assume was not meant to kill but show of the disorientaion effect in game cause alot of the E3 2K3 demo was scripted for cinematic effect as said by Bungie)

Yeah, if the enemy is not in the blast radius, it stuns them temporarily.

As of now, no. There has not been any confirmation of that it will not be on there (from my recollection).

It should, seeing as how now you'll be able to shoot 40 accurate rounds at the same magnification rather than what, the 12 that the pistol shot?

I wonder what the new human aircraft will be like. I think It'll be small and maneuverable like the Banshee. Do you think Frankie will give us any hints like he did w/ the pistol?

I agree, they could make a small version of the pelican. It would have a rocket launcher and a LAAG gun.

If you read The Fall of Reach, there is some kind of Jumpship assault aircraft that the humans use to test MC when he first gets the Mark v Mjolnir suit. I can't remember the name of the craft and the book is out in my truck so I can't quote it directly right now but I'm sure someone else knows.

It is different than both the pelican and the longsword btw.

Halo 2 reallly should use the same music engine for single player in multiplayer. PLEASE BUNGIE We need music during multiplayer. Music is like the fourth dimension when it comes to games.
