man, halo2 is going to be kickass... when i played the first one, i said things like "the pistol is kinda powerful" and "man, i wish after dodging a warthog 6 times i could be rewarded with it" and "it doesnt make a whole lotta sense having spartan vs spartan battles when the elites are the same thing" and "you can dual weild in marathon! WTF is this?!" and "this rocket launcher in UT3K is badass, i want homing on vehicles in halo"...
but halo1 didnt suck, or have a single fault i could complain about for very long, it just had room for improvement. they made the game in 5 months. for the new xbox. now that they spent there time, its without a doubt well thought out and far more perfect than halo. they took halo and make everything better by about 10 times. and let us use the plasma sword. ohhhh yeahhhh....
rocket launcher has kinda always been a noob cannon...but there is usually only one per level. and now that it tracks vehicles and not humans, it kicks more ass. the part that you have to scope to track is also cool, it balances it a bit. and in new mombassa, they sorta balanced the weapons-- one side had vehicles, the other had minigun turrets, plasma nades to spawn with, and the SSM launcher. hell, against the new hog and ghost, i think thats just fine...
oh, and the warthog doesnt have boost. it has an E brake. very nice, i think. ghost and banshee have boost, which i like a lot. the ghost was fine, but now its more cool/fun. but everyone can jump higher, so its still harder to get a kill running someone over...if you aint playing noobs.
and the banshee was a cheap crapthingy in pc multiplayer. you could crash into whatever, making it the best for running people over. and it had the FRG cannon on it, just to demolish anything. if you added the FRG cannon to the ghost, the ghost would be absurdly cheap. it would -blam!- warthogs like there was no tomorrow. throw it on a flying guy...bad idea, a good idea not to be in halo1 MP. but now that there is vehicle damage, and you cant run into everything...its all gravy. and homing missiles are good against those flag runners in banshees like so and so said...
