Monucka, now that you mention it, I never used the plasma rifle during the demo. I am not sure I recall seeing it in the demo. It might have been there, but I didn't use it. I do love it and hope to see it again, and improved.

Shadow, i didn't say it had no kick, I said it wasn't noticable, it made very little difference, if not no difference at all. Its a matter of opinion. Those who love the sniper rifle have little to worry about. Have a good day.

I didn't get to use melee combos on anyone and don't know if they were in the demo. I think if they were the Bungie guys would have shown them when giving the demo prior to playing.

I really think I need to clarify this. Getting to play this at E3 does mean I have a little more info, it still does not make me an authority. I played it two months ago and am doing my best to recall what I can. When you only have 20 minutes to play a game you don't nit pick the details, you get what you can out of it. I am doing my best. If people like shadow still choose not to believe me, its cool. i have done all I am going to do in this thread to prove I played it and was there. I not in the mood for any more flame wars.

You have barely been a member at b.net! how can we trust you? If you were some longtime forum poster you might have alittle more credibility in my eyes. It's real easy to try and cover up your mistakes by saying technicallities and using stuff you read of other websites.

I agree with you Shadow, I might not trust me either from your perspective. I have not been on this site long. I have spent most of my time at halobabies, only because that forum really give a true sense of community and is well moderated. They are good people there and would recomend it to anyone. I hear you and respect what you are saying. I just have been around long enough to know I will never convince everyone.

wow, stabby, i wish i could extract your brain and harvest your experience (without killing you of course : ) ) im pretty sure i saw sum 1 DW with a plasma rifle in a demo i saw, for a split second, then aither die or pick up the flag, i forget. any way i have a question: has the sniper rifle got the weird green lines on the scope whilst not zoomed? what were they any how?

Hey stabby, thanks for the info, my question is: What about the new blood effects? oh, and I saw an argument on anotehjr forum about a pic of an elite HUD that had a pinkish purple hue, is that true or could it have been the angle the picture was taken from?

Shadow u can't really talk you've only been a member for a month :P
Thanx loads Stabby this is sum gud info...especially that heavy flag thing...very intresting. Will make CTF quite cool.
I have a question - if you did any sniping at all or made any headshots, was it harder to headshot elites? Because when I look at them, elites appear to have smaller heads than spartans (well spartans have a massive helmet), so i'm intrested as to whether this would make them harder to headshot.
Thanx agen for the info!

I am also been a member of HaloPlanet for 2 years and am involved in alot of chapters. My question is this how does the SMG compare to the old Halo 1 Assault Rifle?

Here's a question, what was the most often used weapon by everyone. I would use the BR and SMG's, maybe a sniper.

Man, there are a serious amount of sniper fans up in here. Its cool. Anyways, I didn't pull off any sniper headshots on elites, and I was a spartan the entire game, it might be more difficult, but I might have been shaking with excitement and a bad shot.

The elite view did not have a different hue at all. My brother played as an elite the entire time and after discussing the differences, we realized that the hands on screen seemed to be the only difference.

The gun most people talked about after playing seemed to be the Battle rifle, which is the best of the pistol and assault rifle in one sweet package. My brother's favorite is duel SMG's. He has always been a close combat fan and they do rock up close since you can just unload clips like crazy.

Did the duel SMG's have recoil when both SMG's are unloading rounds at the same time?

Not really, but the accuracy takes a serious downfall. Up close it doesn't matter to much though.

Oh ok, thanks

Oh, and did any weapon have recoil that really showed?

Not that REALLY showed. Again, I think it is Bungie's plan to stick to the original formula. If you are good at Halo, you will be good at Halo 2. It won't take more than 5 minutes to feel like you have been playing it your whole life. It is that natural a progression.
