My Theory (far fetched) :<snipped to save space, but go read it.>

I don't think it's far-fetched at all. Good, solid reasoning backed up by evidence. Sure it's not conclusive, but it does match up with a LOT of hints that have come out.

Excellent work, Inv8er!

This is a great update IMO. Made me think about a lot of things...
BTW, I just realised that Bungie got praised for limiting the number of weapons in Halo 1, and now they're being praised for expanding the number of weapons. I think that's some achievement they've made! BTW I'm very surprised that this many people are actually surprised with the fact that 3 weapons can be carried at the same time. I have always been sure that Bungie at least (had) discussed that.

or maybe, you can keep one gun out and then switch the other, so like, if you have an smg and needler, you can switch out your needler for a plasma pistol and keep your smg out.

Ya I had actually always thought that you would be able to have another weapon holstered when your dual wielding, its just the part about switching weapons that bothers me. Maybe he has two holsters like in the old western movies. Or even a strap type thing on his back, so he could put his two weapons away and then whip out a shotgun!

Ya I was thinking about this too! Being able to switch up what gun your dual-wielding if you have another single-handed weapon in reserve, without ever holstering more than one weapon.

Or even a strap type thing on his back, so he could put his two weapons away and then whip out a shotgun!
I'm hoping they don't do this.

only thing im still waiting for is some kinda confirmation that there will the ability to get 16 boxes in the LAN

Very Nice Update Frankie. It sounds as though the only thing that could stop Halo2 is a massive power surge that fries the mainframe <unlikley>. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

What could the MILESTONE be?

Another great update Frankie.
I think the part about three weapons applys to dual wielding. You can carry three single handed weapons and swap between them. So if you have a smg and a needler dual wielding you can pick up a plasma pistol then swap between them. So you can't have four weapons such as two smgs and two needlers.
For boarding the warthog does this mean you jump on then get a choice of where to jump into?. so you can jump straight into the gunner seat?.

i dont think thats true, because even though u can carry 3 weapons at once, u have to put one down before u switch to ur holstered one....u could pick it up from the ground again i guess, but i dont think i u can cycle through 3 at once

There's so much controversy over this subject I wish Bungie would clear it up.

im irritated by how little we know about halo 2. so many unanswered questions asked by kdis asking about the specifics of dual wielding. and i dont care what you say, we have seen NO new vehicles besides the atv, those warthogs with new weapons don't count. we haven't seen any new singleplayer in more than a year, and we know very little about the new weapons and next to nothing about new enemies besides the brute. now im not saying im not sure if halo 2 will be great or not, i know it's gonna be awesome. but it's only 4 months til the RELEASE of the game and if they released like one secret a month they wouldnt even tell us everything and they aren't even saying anything that often. i guess they're shooting for a whole lot of info in one go instead of a little every now and then. or maybe they wont tell us anything at all...haha, probably not. anyway i know im being very impatient but ive been waiting for this game for 3 years and i kinda wondering when we'll finally find out the secrets we've been arguing amongst ourselves about. so when do you guys think we'll finally learn some real info about new features, levels, vehicles, weapons and enemies?

If you ask me, I'd say that the second vehicle on Waterworks is the Covenant Banshee. I've heard that Waterworks is like a supersized Blood Gulch w/ way more possibilities. The Banshee and The Scorpion would be the perfect mix on Waterworks!

By the way, I know this is my first post. I'm not a Halo newb. I've... just... neglected to sign up on this site. Yeah...
