is there going to be a good close combat weapons in halo2? and no, dont say the smg's or shotgun. because the shotgun dosent work unless your at 3ft or less and a single smg is weak. Are there going to be any close combat weapons thats will allow you to almost match 2 smg's but still allow you to throw grenades and with with the gun. I dont know about the rest of you but i personally find the grende the best close combat weapon

theres a few flaws in the post, yes shotguns are good. But i want a weapon thats like an AR. i can use it at somewhat of a distance, because how many times do u get into a fight close enought to use a shotgun or the sword? Probably never. I at least always start at like a good 100 ft away, and i would die before the sword of shotgun got into range. and the BR is gonna blow ass in close combat, its in 3round burst so its slow AND innacurate

u only use the energy sword or shotgun for close range when your at far range use the battle rifle!

Everyone says the damn plasma sword, but i want to see you run up to a guy with a BR and not die. Your going to get ur ass killed before u can get into range. The plasma sword isnt going to be very good, its only going to work in levels like chiron and inside the base in zanzibar

im not talking about UBER close range, i mean like AR range. beside the semi decent BR there realy arent going to be any

The SMGs are quite similar to the AR except trades accuracy for larger rate of fire. They will be handy at the range your speaking of.

I thought they were weaker due to the ability to duel wield. I might just go with the BR at mid range and when i get up close switch to the sword and start chuckin grenades

Why do you start a thread when your just going to state your opinions over and over again and say everyone else is wrong? You havent played the game. You dont know.

SMG's fire pistol sized cartriges at high rates of fire with decent accuracy. I think many of us know the power of a human pistol. Imagine that at over 600 RPM.

Also an SMG has a smaller range of fire than a rifle so it is suited for medium/point blank range. It also has a lot of bullets to allow a margin for missing.

How about a few of the classic covenant weapons that will most likely be returning, plasma rifle, plasma pistol. Also the covenant carbine might be nice, although probably in the battle rifle category. Also, Bungie is leaving most of the new weapons as surprises I'm sure. You might want to take a look at the gun the brute is carrying in one of the renders.

It'll overheat before you can dish out some serious damage.

does the plasma sword need to get a "lock" beofre you can lunge or did the guy just wait while he was talking to demostrate it?
...the plams rifle does overheat true, but i usually hit ppl with it before it does. You can eliminate a shield in 4 shots with it and kill someone with 1 hit. and if you dont completely suck at aiming you can usually kill someone with 1 "clip" anyway

Shield in four shots?! And when your shields are down it takes two wacks, or one from behind. I still go with SMG.
