In this year's E3, I never saw/heard any mention of Master Chief's ability to sprint. Did anybody else hear that Master Chief can, in Halo2, sprint and look around corners? Is it true?

I dont really like the idea of sprinting, or looking round corners anywa.

In answer to your question i dont know, but it certainly wasnt shown at E3

...does anybody know wether or not Chief will be able to get the Covenant Energy Sword in single player as well? Just because I'm asking these questions doesn't mean I am stupid or a noob, I have been feverishly tracking news of Halo 2 and its features since December.

I belive that MC/Elites can store both his weapons, and srpint at 2 times his normal speed (he cant shoot while doing this)

I also think he can peek around corners, but I dont think he will be able to shoot while doing so. A big problem with peaking around corners in a game that can play online is that you can tap the "look-around" button, and fire a round right away. If you do this online the opponent sees you look around the corner, but there is "lag" time so when he sees you looking around the corner the server already registers that you are safe behind the wall. Therefore I dont think you will be able to shoot while looking around corners in Halo2

I think that the Covenant still put fail-safes on the energy sword to prevent the chief from going on a bloody rampage.

I dont know, I think that the Chief is probably the only one to survive a sword-wielding elite, and it never mentions him picking up the sword hilt like he does with the Jackel shields.

Cortana has the processing power to crack into a Covenant Ship, I doubt a sword would stop her. If not, just get some good ol duct tape, chop off the covies hand...and ur good.

[color=white]The irony of that is, you need a sword (or at least a Swiss Army Knife) to cut off the Elite's hand....D'oh![/color]

Dude. The Master Cheif can lift 2.5 tons. I'm sure he can rip off some covie's hand.

YOu mean to tell me that the UNSC doesnt issue Swiss Army Knives? Wtf...in this day and age.

Also...remember the guy who's arm was crushed under a two ton rock, He cut off his own arm...with a dull knife. And I like to think he then fought off indians, was stabbed three times traveled across the globe dispelling evil before he got to a hospital room.

Oh and the sprint is not a power burst anymore. If you push all the way forward you'll start off with a fast sprint and itll slow you down to normal speed, there isnt that much of a difference so you have to watch closely in the movie to see it.

I also hear that MC would be able to sprint as well as the marines, so that their movements look more realistic. I don't think the animation was applyed to the E3 video ( from what I could see ) but that doesn't mean Halo 2 won't have it.
