will the battle rifle have as much punch as the pistol? could you get a kill with one headshot?


only shishka could answer that, seeing as he has really played.

Honestly, if I were to narrow it down to one thing that is my favorite part about what I've played of Halo 2, I'll have to go abstract and say "The experience."

Imagine if you will, a group of elites on a beautiful beach, organizing themselves. Three hop into a rocketlauncher warthog, one jumps into a ghost, and the rest run full-bore at the dilapidated wall that used to protect an old electrical facility.

At the same time, the team of spartans protecting the facility are scrambling, grabbing a rocket launcher, manning stationary turrets, opening the storm doors, getting into position.

As an elite, you make it past the wall, past the giant turbine spinning slowly in the sun, and get one look at the surfaces that make up the building.

That's the last time those walls will look so pristine. Seconds later, the rockets, grenades, plasma and bullets flying through the air have torn chunks out of the pillars, destroyed the storm window shutters, blown up the platforms where the turrets had been. In the middle of the courtyard, a burning pile of metal is all that's left of the ghost, its occupent some twenty yards away. An elite with an energy sword had forced his way into the base, and opened a gate on the side, from which a smoking warthog races out. A lucky shot takes out a tire, sending the 'hog rolling...

You get the idea. ;)

yeah i hope he responds because i like the pistol and hope the battle rifle is as powerful so i can kill grunts without wasting that much ammo on them


I'd have to say you could, i mean, he took of a ghost wing in three shots. ghost wing=futuristic bipoly fused carbonate and titanium, grunt head=saucey mush and brains much like air.

Not that I noticed, but I spent more time playing with dual wield combos than the BR. I'm fairly sure only the SR can score one hit kill headshots from any kind of range.

yes, as a matter of fact just last night i had one of the best dreams ever. halo 2 was out, but to me when i played it was like real life, elites were the scariest things on earth. In all honesty, the halo 2 in my dream was cooler than the real halo 2 ( if you could even fathom that), I was honestly freakin scared out my mind of the elites (who resembled a monster like raptor with huge biceps, bigger than mine), it was cool and i hope it happens again and again till halo 2 comes out. Also all my budies looked just like themselves in the game, and there was invisablity and everthing, awsome dream, hope you guys have one like it.

When, I look at an SMG, than back at an MA5B Assault Rifle, there doesn't seem to be much difference, 60 round clips, and automatic fire. What's the difference between the two?

I honestly think that any username that inherently insults moderators, webmasters, or people at bungie should be banned. This is Bungie's surf, there is no free speech.

It looks way cooler (not my opinion the pure truth).

Spread and rate of fire, if anything. The SMG is a true bullet hose. You find yourself reloading fairly quickly. Having TWO of them at the same time is like running around with a chainsaw in a meathouse.

wish i could dream about halo... sigh

well i hate the pistol because it was imbalanced... i play blood gulch with all my friends and there are so many weapons on that map and not one person uses anything other than the pistol... bungie must have done something wrong because really, there was no use for any other weapon because the pistol was so god like. needed a whole lot more balancing... i like killing people with the pistol but i would like to use other guns and be on even ground with other people... i understand bungie did not have much time for halo 1 but they have plenty of time for halo 2 ( i hope) so i really hope they can balance the weapons a little bit better. make the needler just as good as the battle rifle... dont have one weapon above all the rest... be more like ut2004 where no one weapon stands out above the rest

yeah i've had dreams about Halo 2 too. one was about that since i preordered it, it came to my house 4 months early and all of the people who preordered it got the same thing. the other was about when i got H2, someone broke into my house and stole it. i then proceded to find the person and kill them with a shotgun and take H2 back.
