The Official Xbox Magazine article finaly put a name on that crazy weapon we first caught a glipse of in the 2003 E3 video. Does anyone know if anything has been mentioned about using this weapon in the campaign or in multiplayer, or is this going to be like the hunter fuel rod gun?

First off that weapon is a grenade launcher(read First Strike), not a slug launcher (magazines screw up all the time), we don't know if it will be usable, and there are currently no plans for a Halo 2 PC(Halo 1 was originally meant to be PC/Mac so they made a version for the loyalists after Xbox Halo was done, that's the only reason why there is one. Halo 2 is meant for Xbox only)

i think all guns and vehicle will be drivable and shootable because one of the things that sucked about halo was that you could not drive and shoot all the vehicles. so since bungie is taking so long to finish halo 2 they are probably gonna make all guns shootable and drivaable and if tehy dont i will be really disapointed

I think that even if you can't use this weapon in campaign it will be in multiplayer like the fuel rod in Halo PC. I seem to remember (but I havent checked) a bungie weekly update about animating this gun, i think it was animating it for first person but i don't quite remember. I'll check.

Here is the quote from the weekly update I mentioned:

'given the elite a Brute weapon, given him animations for that and for the driver and gunner of a new Covenant vehicle, and another Elite's first-person animations for the Brute weapon as well.'

I hope that means what I think it does because that weapon looks on mean lean fat reducing killing machine (as George Foreman might say).

if it is playable it'll be good in melee too because of that large blade crafted into it

Ithink that the brute weapon is the one that during its creation it was supposed to take up too much of the screen and looked like a sharks fin so they had to change it. if it is then you probably can use it.

The person states it like it will NEVER go to PC, that states only at "this time", which means it could possibly go to the PC...

Could be ported to PC, but I doubt it will be. Really doubt it. And really, why should any of us care? We're getting the killer app of this gen for a system that now costs $150. Given the kind of PC it takes to get Halo looking as good as it does on the XBox, imagine the beast it would take to do Halo 2. I just don't have any interest in that product, whether or not it ever shows up.

Also, I can't imagine why Bungie would introduce a cool new weapon like the slug thrower/granade launcher/whateveryouwanttocallit, complete with a blade on the end, and not let us use it. It doesn't seem to fit in with the whole "MC can use any weapon, drive any vehicle" philosophy that was almost realized in Halo, but not quite. Adding the energy sword, for example, leads me to believe that if the Covenant can use it, MC will too.

It only exploded because it was the E3 2003 movie. Abn ealy version of it they hadnt set it out to stay on the ground when ou kill a brute carrying it. and besides Bungienever said it wasnt playable.

First of all it is called a slug launcher second, if a brute can carry the gun im sure MC culd he is about as strong as a brute if not stronger. Plus unlike the fuelrod gun wich needs a large power pack the slug launcher does not. So yes it will be playable.

It is a GRENADE LAUNCHER! and the book never said they were plasma either. They exploded on impact.
