technically the energy sword is old but its new to you wielding it. good facts though man. but the 4 teams things it doesnt go by colors since u can pick your own. but i heard for slayer or ctf one of those that its color only because ylou can be only elite or spartan.

Just calling them like I read them. The offical Xbox FAQ said and I quote.

Another multiplayer change is players having the chance to choose from four different teams, instead of just Red and Blue. Green and Gold are the two new team colors.

man im replying alot. anyway the rumor of the dual wielding about holstering them you drop one. thats false because if you watched the e3 demo they put away the duel welded smgs pulled out the battle rifle then pulled out the dual welded smgs again.

Focused, add that split screen MP is confirmed. Alot of people have been worried about that.

PROOF- xbox.com

"In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Halo 2 again makes use of the multiplayer split-screen System-Link feature and… Xbox™ Live. "

thx madsniper I edited.

One of the reasons I created this post is so people would quite asking the same questions over and over again. As I can see so far this morning it ain't working. People just don't read before they post.
