Does MC have a leaning action?

Like can he lean right and left around cover/walls,etc.....?
If so what buttons are in use while donig that action?

I heared some where(i forgot where/and when)that he can,and that the D-pad right and left arrows are the buttons that you do it with. EX: right arrow = lean right, left arrow = lean left.

Is this true?

(Again sorry if old)

Yeah, it's not official yet. But most likely it should be, just as it is in RS3.

Yes and you hered it from me i guess. yea and here is the Articul to prove it


LEAN INTO IT
"A lot of time in Halo you entered combat befor you wanted to," says Lead Designer Griesemer, "because as soon as you could see enemies they could see you. Leaning will allow you to look around the corner and check on guys befor you commit." Currently set to the D-pad, this new function automatically leans chief forward a bit and cranes his neck around to the left or right, more like you would peek around a corner in real life than the slight shift to the side you'll find in most first-person-shooters. You won't be able to attack while peeking, though-the idea is just to let you scout ahead a bit without being seen. "[It's] for checking out a situation befor you enter it," Griesemer tells us. "To make sure nobody is looking, to see if a grenade would be appropriate, to watch out for surprise vehichles- that kind of thing."

Kinda get tired writing out all this stuff from the magizine word for word.

That would be really cool. If anyone has DELTA FORCE- BLACK HAWK DOWN, YOU WILL ALL KNOW THAT YES YOU CAN DUCK IN THAT GAME. I WOULD RATE THIS PC GAME 2# NEXT TO HALO FOR THE PC.

Or, like in the books, you will be able to use a fiber-optic camera to view around corners. I don't think it would be hard to see the MC when he's peeking around a corner... and the camera would close part of the gap between the books and the games.

Well some peolpe used it,while some did not.
The D-pad,most peolpe like me used the sticks for movement,but other find it better to use the D-pad.

So,it was used in halo.

My brother use's it. He i think will be mad at first if you can move with the D-pad,but he will get use to it.

thanks for the info blue.. i knew i heard that somewhere! i really, really, really hope that we can use the d-pad for that... and what else.... i hope we can go prone w/ the d-pad (up/down)!!! i never used that "button..whatever" in halo1, it's just sitting there... it's perfect.
lean-can't wait, that would be cool!
