now so far we have 4 yes 4! scoped weapons: the BR, CC, sniper rifle, covey sniper. now just think what a heavenly time snipers are going to have with this, they could have a closer rang sniper/combat weapon and a sniper rifle or two snipers of diferent abilitys, or to assualt/snipers weapons. aside from this they could have two 1 handed weapons and a sniper rifle. snipers are going to have a good time in halo2 but they will have to deal with: other snipers, assualt troops with CCs and BRs and even the needler.

Sounds like fun. And if they keep the M6D then all is good. Gives the sniping field a nice leveling.

If your askin what type I will use, it will be a combo of the BR and SR. Sniper Rifle first, then the Battle Rifle for meduim to close range. That's it. I don't like using covie weapons, sorry if that offends anyone. I tend to stick to "Human" weapons.

What the hell are you blabbering about? Those aren't Halo weapons.

CC is covenant carbine which is the covenants version of the BR the coveys sniper dosn't have a name yet. human, covenant there both good to me but they coveys will be better in halo2. and the pistol is not comming back (atleast with a scope and the same aiming ability) thats what the BR is for.

You have no concrete proof of the M6D or the MA5B not returning. If anything there is a big chance that they will, at least the M6D. I remember a recent interview that took place at E3 where this was asked.

" So will the old pistol make a return in Halo 2? " -interviewer

" No comment. "(said with a smile)- Bungie rep.

Sounds more like it is coming back. Also the more the merrier. Right?

i almost guarenty that the M6D will not come back but even more so the MA5B. that thing was replaced by the SMG which can be used as an assualt rife OR duel wielded for pistol style full auto.

What guarantee do I have? Has Bungie said anything on it? No. They have not. Until then your guarantee means nothing. Not to be rude or anything, but when people start hating on my favorite two weapons I generally get a bit aggitated.

then again they could come back augmented as in a pistol described in a halo book which featured less acurasy and no scope but more punch, and it was sugested by somone to place a grenade luancher under the MA5B.

i will use the CC and BR alot i think.

oh heh when i say garuntee i just mean i highly doubt it will be in the game. also i love the M6D and i find the MA5B to be fun but inadiquit for the job. the M6D was just to uber for multi or single. so i think it will be changed if it is brought back.

edit: also when i say garuntee i can also mean i highly beleave it (its all a matter of context)

Or have two pistols, just tone down the M6D in MP. Problem is most people base the pistol off of multiplayer, which was on purposely increased in strength. I don't blame Bungie for doing it either. In campaign mode it took 8 head or body shots (with shields) just to kill the Chief with that thing. As for the grenade lanucher.....I like that idea. Just click the zoom in button and a grenade is launched.

Um, I dont know if this has been discussed, but, while dual weilding weapons, for sake of this argument, two SMG's, can you also carry another weapon to switch to? Because I thought if you change it drops the second dual weapon?? Ugh, someone explain?

well technechly the magnum and the SMG make two pistols and what use is a pistol that has the same (or less or more) damage then the BR who also has a tripple shot. im just pointing out i realy doubt it will be in halo2, the magnum could be the M7D or somthing which is an evolved version.

All we can go in is the information that Bungie has given us from their updates previews and books. All the info points to the Battle Rifle being to the new MA5B just a little bit better, And in the Edge article they (Bungie) said that they were not only making new guns but tweaking old guns making them more nuanced. In First Strike we get info on a updated version of the AR and the M6D pistol so technically the M6D and MA5B are gone until bungie tells us otherwise and not the other way around
