Doesn't that make a brute less challenging then the hunter. just melee him three times then hes dead.


Well, MC Meleed him 3 times, teh brute fell down, and he shot him twice. Of course that doesn't mean he won't get back up. As we all know the Brutes will be getting up if you don't do enough damge to them (a la the flood).


The E3 2003 demonstration had incomplete AI so they used grunt AI in the brute skin... Im guessing a brute will be much harder to take down.

Do brutes and elites get along?anddoes the battle rifel shoot anything like the assault rifel?


They dont get along and the battle rifle has a scope, is more accurate and when unzoomed fires 3 shot bursts and when scoped in fires single shots.

I did not know that you can hold a plasma rifel with a pistil.

i'm guessing that the brute is much larger then a hunter and much stronger then an elite.Does he have a shield?

That link is to the brute. No as you'll see he doesnt have a shield like the hunter.

My thery is that when you hold 2 guns at a time, the throw grenade button switches to shoot for the secondary gun.So, how are you going to switch weapons without throwing both guns down.My guess is that the X button is the way to switch one weapon while the B button is to switch the other weapon.So, whats melee while you are holding to guns?

(Bungie may have already told us this but i don't read the weekly updates to often)
Your guess is wrong. You will have 2 weapons and 1 other.Let me show you:
You have 2 SMG's.Your other weapon is a Battle Rifle.You push X and voila! You now have the Battle Rifle.
As far as we, the fans, know there are still 2 weapon "slots".You understand now?

I dont, because X is used to reload your gun :S

nope...

You can only holster one weapon at a time so if your dual wielding and want to use your battle rifle, you holster your right arm weapon and drop the other because theres no more room. (this is what I think will work)

there seems to be a lot of confusion here (at least thats what it seems like) so im gonna put everything that everyone has said that is true together....

1) You may only have a grand total of 3 weapons:
ex. SMG and SMG plus Battlerifle

2) You may not "double" dual wield ( for a total of 4 weapons)

3) When dual wielding you may press B to melee with the right handed weapon while discarding the left weapon (shown in one of the E3 2004 videos)

4) To switch weapons press Y, you will KEEP your dual wielding weapons and therefore switch to your holstered weapon

5) you can not throw grenades when dual weilding

You can only holster one at a time though.....So you would have to drop your left handed weapon. If you holstered both then technically you could pick up a max of 4 weapons if you dual wield while your 2 weapons are holstered.

So....you will throw down your left weapon if you press Y when dual wielding....

no

that isnt right......

in the E3 demo he has 3 weapons....

1) why would you have to drop a dual wielded weapon when u switch to ur other (battlerifle) when you ALREADY had 3 weapons in the first place....that makes no sense.....

2) maybe to make sure that you cant "double" dual wield ur third weapon MUST be a two-handed weapon? (just a theory) but if that isnt true maybe once you are dual wielding in one slot you simply are not allowed to dual wield in the other

If youre referring to the 2003 E3 trailer he has 3 because they hadnt fully balanced the dual wield system. The bottom line is that you can only holster 1 gun at a time so that it prevents you from carrying 4 weapons. It also balances out dual wielding and stops you from suddenly switching to a powerful dual wield

i liked the idea of being able to dual wield and have another weapon......

  • 06.28.2004 7:37 PM PDT

SB-117

Yeah but if you think about it, its fairer if there is only one weapon holster slot.
