In halo 2 when you lean, will it lean the gun also (so you can shoot around obsticles/walls) or just your view (cant shoot)?

Just view, but I think you might be able to toss a grenade.

Im not entirly sure, but I would say you can shoot. Every game i've played that is 1st person shootem up that you can lean you can shoot. I know you can in DF: BHD and soldier of Fortune 2.

i think that being able to go prone
would be another sneeky/stealth
move that MC could do, just a
thought.

STOP TALKING ABOUT PRONING!!! the games like finished. They (most likely) wont have proning. It will be pointlesy slow and annoying. Snipers will have limited movement when discovered.

going prone makes no sense, your just exposing your head more and makingyour self less manouevrable when youre discovered. It also promotes camping. Its just a very bad idea in my opinion.

The demo that shows leaning is the SP demo, the one with on Earth.

It happens at exactly 4:25.

HOLY -blam!- HOW DID WE ALL MISS THAT?!?!?!?!??! its soooo freaking obvious.... i feel dumb.

Ermmm...he just strafed right a little bit, how would he not be able to shoot then while hes got his weapons up? You cant fire when leaning so he definately wasnt leaning then.

Also, note that he takes damage when he strafes out (indicated by the quick white flash) so how did the grunts manage to shoot him when he was "barely visibile".

I'm quite sure thats not what leaning is. I expect it to be more like Rainbow Six's system where you barely expose your self making you invulnerable.

Its a proven fact that he was, and if you dont believe it, then its your loss.
On November 9th, you'll be proven wrong and Ill be sitting in my room laughing.

i think Bungie said you can't lean/peak and shoot. i can't remember where, i think they said it, but i may be wrong

you can shoot. he just didnt because in the script the frag grenade supresses the covies. and did u notice the guns peeking? you can shoot.

EDIT: i 4got to add i could be wrong. veeeeery rong.
