I remenber reading that MC would be able to do rolls like the marines do in order to get out the way of vehicles quicker. But we haven't seen any of that in yet in halo 2, does anyone know if it's going to be in the final game?
Also, what about the melee combos? were they in the zanzibar last e3? something tells me bungie is going to take that portion out of the game or only add it in SP. Anyone know anything?

They disabled the combos at E3, but as for the rolling I have no idea, I personnally don't think it belongs in a FPS though.

IDK about about rolling out of the way

Melee combos are when you attack by hitting but if you hit the button again it it wont do the same hit it will do another in conjuction with the first. But Seriously how do you not know what a combo is?

Bungie never said anything about rolling as far as I know and for melee combos they havent finished it by last E3 so it wasnt fully in.

Rolling wouldnt be good but maybe a low yet far strafe jump would be handy for dodging vehicles.

I think they disabled the melee comb at e3 so it could be a surprise, but i bet they'll keep it. I also read in an update (i think) that one of the guys was working on the RL combo. I dont think there'll be rolling for the MC, its to complicated.

They had melee combos at the last e3, here, take a look when he has the plasma sword.

rolling doesn't matter because you can jump so high you can just jump over the vehicle

melee combos were in the e3 03 vid, but obviously they're working on them.

Frankie mentioned that that was because the gravity wasn't fixed to be unique per level- that's just because they hadn't made that a concrete portion of the game.

What about peeking around corners or did they ditch that idea?Hey why not roll the covenant and marines did it in halo.I think they said in the begining of makeing halo 2 you have to time the melee attack to do a triple combo attack or maybe they changed it I dont know.

The energy swords uppercut is caused by pulling the right trigger. If you lock onto an enemy you will also lunge uppercut. Regular swipes are executed with the B button

then how do u charge? (the uppercut is NOT the charge. watch the E3 demonstration. the elite doesnt move when he uppercuts, but when MC charges, he movies)

You charge with R-trigger the only reason the Elite didn't go is casue no one was in his Crosses and yes the uppercut is the lunge move there are 3 attacks the horizontal and vertical plus the lunge two are cause by the melee button one is cause by the R-trigger

ok johnny joe is right about 2k3 e3 and also i just watched again the e3 2k4 demonstration, and watch the elite in the beginning, he attacks differently each time, so combos are in and u can distinguish other players attacks within their combo, awesome

Pressing R-trigger when no one is infront of you or to far away or really really close its not like it matters its not like the uppercut is the only one hit kill move on the P. Sword

Regular Uppercut - no lock on (for stealth users I bet)
Lunge Uppercut - lock on
Melee - combos

^I think :S
