The Battle Rifle and the Sub Machine Gun are prototypes in First Strike. Which is a mere few weeks before Halo 2. My best guess is only one in five soldiers will get a battle rifle while the 2 out of 5 will get an SMG. Making the MA5B, the M90, and the S2 AM the still dominant weapons in the game.

No, you didn't. I wish you did though. Considering how obsessed Bungie is with their stories and keeping them straight and pleasing to as many fans as possible, I am fairly certain they will reward us old veterans, the ones who enjoy our guns, the ability to use them inside Halo 2.


As for behind the Covenant weapons.....They are the Covenant and they have been holding back on us for 27 years. Hell we didn't even encounter Hunters until one month before Halo and Elites just a mere week. Pretty much right now the Covenant are pulling out all the stops and are letting loose their real dogs of war.

the covenant will be like halo 1,brutes get their personal weapons,hunters have the fuel rod guns,grunts get plasma pistols,jackals will probly get needlers or plasma pistols,elites will have carbines,and sometimes plasma rifles(probly plasma rifles more often than not) and elites can also have plasma swords,

and the way u said it,u said 1 in 5 with a battle rifle and 2 in 5 with an smg,that only leaves 2 in 5 to get any of the 3 old weapons,but then u say the sniper,pistol,and assault rifle will still be the dominant guns,that doesnt make any sense.And if EVERYONE gets upgraded weapons than it will be just like normal

  • 06.27.2004 4:54 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

im pretty sure that the MA5B will be back in the first mission,because the Master Chief has it when he escapes from Halo,unless there was a Battle Rifle on the Longsword.I hope that you dont just start out with the new armor and weapons.maybe you get the new armor from Dr.Halsey??

I don't think the game picks up where Halo left off

Or what they do is slowly get rid of the old weapons as you go throughout the game. As you first start the old are practically everywhere and towards the end yuo barely even see them. That might make more sense.....I guess. And Halo 2 picks up where First Strike left off. That Longsword was blown to hell.

Is there going to be like a great war at the end of Halo 2 or is it going to leave off for HALO 3?

It is a great war smart one. It has gone on for 27 years and we have lost all but 5 space battles (plenty of ground were won and all those that had spartans were victories on the ground). We have lost billions of lifes and hundreds of worlds to the Covenant. So I don't know what the heck you are talking about there just suddenly being a great war at the end of Halo 2.

Yeah they do nuke. Minor porblem. A nuclear blast only knocks out a Covenant ship's shield and nothing else. If the nuke is inside the shields then the ship dies, otherwise a Nuke is just a shield dropping tactic. The UNSc also uses them on the ground, but only if there is a severe Covenant military ground presence in the area.
