Subject: Using the Brute's Slug Thrower?

I was just wondering, if we would be able to use the Brute's Slug Thrower. Since it's used by the Brutes in the game, I don't see why we wouldn't be able to.

In Halo 1 we weren't able to use the Banshee or the Fuel Rod Cannon used by the Grunts/Hunters. Although they did allow them to be used in the Halo PC remake. I personally don't own Halo PC, I own Halo for XBox, I would like to be able to use the Fuel Rod Cannon and fly the Banshee, but that is a sacrifice I have come to bear.

All I'm trying to say here is that I hope they make the Brute's Slug Thrower playable in Halo 2 for XBox, rather than exclusive to the PC version.

I appologize if there have been many topics about this, but as I have not seen any, I was inclined to ask about this. If any of you have heard anything or have any thoughts...

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

It is in the updates they described how they had finished the Elite first person animation for the Brute's Gun.

Are you talking about multiplayer there?the Brute's Slug ThrowerIts not called "Slug Thrower", that was just a name OXM (and other mags based off the OXM article) called instead of just saying "the Brutes gun"

Yea, I know it's neccessary in Campaign, I'm talking about multiplayer.

I didn't know that, I thought the official name for it had become the Slug Thrower, thanks.

Also, thanks for the info with the weekly updates, I must have missed that part (I do read the updates).

I dont think they can be dual weiled, they must be a bit heavy like the fuel rod gun.

Unfortionatly heres the real story up to now on this gun.

Look closely when the MC melee kills the brute in the New Mombasa video, his gun disapears... as of now you will not be able to use his gun at least in SP... as of now.

Yes I do know, thats why I said 'as of now' because as of now we don't know if they have changed it or not.

it's completly impossible to beat halo without using a banshee. Try two betrayals or something with a banshee.

I guessing you cant becasue if you watch the E3 2003 video when MC in meleeing the Brute watch his gun arm. A flash of blue light. I think if a BRute dies it's gun dissapears. Think of the Fuel Rod fail safes (blows up) only with out the blowing up.

We could use the banshee just not the fuel rod cannon i think the brutes sluger is going to take place of halo 1's fuel rod cannon.

I doubt it, that demo was done over a year ago, and at the time, they didnt even have the Brutes AI finished so it was Grunted (they used the Grunt AI) so they could show it off at E3. So now a whole year and a bit later it could have been put in!
