Where did you hear about the unnamed earth city being confirmed as a multiplayer map??? I haven't heard anything about it just a single player map. I know there probably will be one but I jsut wanted to know where you got that confirmed.

There is also a new Covenant dropship, the Phantom, which is bigger and more well armed then its counterpart from the original game.

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.


No, it is true. Read this.

You can stop dual wielding at any time by pressing melee attack (discards extra weapon) or by pressing Y to switch to your secondary weapon

Meaning that once you change weapons you can kiss the other one good bye. Also watch the videos of this year's E3. You'll see that once you enter a vehicle or change weapons that the second one is dropped.

Oh yeah Earth City is the name of the level Bungie said a while back. The name of the city though is New Mombasa.

That is not true. It says press melee to drop your weapon and y to switch to your secondary weapon. That means say I have a Smg and a needler. I press Y and I switch to a Battle Rifle. I put away my SMG and my needler. So you can carry up to 4 weapons when dual wielding. First set can be 2 SMG ect. and the second set can be 2 needlers ect. Also I doesn't show anywhere in the E3 2k4 vid that when you get in a vehicle you drop your weapon or if you switch weapons you drop your weapon.

One more thing. I was talking about where did you get the confrimation that there was a [b] multiplayer [b] map on an earth city.

I wish we could force all noobs to this site to come to this page. If everyone on this website had their facts straight then we wouldn't have to deal with idiots who think that the energy sword and shotguns and rocket launchers are dual-wieldable. I unerstand that sometimes you miss things but once it's been posted 59084739587349523959348 times, it gets really annoying.

I haven't found anywhere that confirms without a shadow of doubt that the pistol and plasma rifle will be back.

And the ATV single handed weapon info was taken from the offical Microsoft Halo 2 FAQ.

There is 1 new weapon slug thrower too (brutes weapon)

They haven't confirmed that you can pick up the Brutes weapon yet or given it a name. We started calling it the slug thrower I believe.

Not really because that is like a ruin not a city. People lived there but long ago. I think he means more like the one in the 2K3 E3 vid.

I haven't seen a "duck and roll" move in any of the offical FAQs or magazine articles I've read through.
