A lot of you were asking me questions about Halo 2 at E3 in the Heavy Flag thread. I am happy to discuss this but tI think that thread is getting dated. So here is a new one. We also started a new board for this that my brother and I are both on. If you want to check it out its:

Otherwise, you can ask here. Glad I could help and thanks to those people who keep the info on here coming.

he eric did the warthog have a boost of any sort?

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

How much did you get to use the Battle Rifle? In burst mode, did you notice how many trigger pulls it took to kill someone? Head Shots? I'm trying to find out if it will take 3 trigger pulls to kill someone like the pistol.

Ok, I did drive the warthog. It did not have boost. It handled about the same, if not a little tighter and less fish tailing. As for the battle rifle, I did get to use it, and zoomed in it was pretty powerful and accurate. I'm not sure if it was as deadly as the pistol, but it seemed pretty close. As for the burst, i didnt use it like that much. I am used to zooming automatically from using the pistol so much. I know some of you were asking what it was like to play as a covie. I didnt play as one but my brother did. I you want to ask him about it he is now on our clan website as SWEETCAKES.

I got to use it a bit. The target tracking is nice... it helps, but its not too cheap, and can be avoided.

Reminded me. You cant holster two weapons at once right? So if your dual wielding SMGs and switch to the Battle Rifle you will not put both SMGs away right? You would throw one down on the floor and keep one. Am I right in assuming this?

i just have one simple quistion. did it "feel" like halo when you played?

i will give you an example of what i mean . redfaction was good but they RUINED redfaction two like the movement and the flow of the controls were way diffrent

i alwase thought it was the hardest thing in the world to screw up a sequal but redfaction did it

One word: Where?

All I know is that supposedly you can only holster a single weapon so I thought Erik could answer this as confirmation.

As far as I recall ash, that is correct. As for how fast you can switch between weapons, it seems about the same as Halo 1. Boarding doews make it harder to run people down, but all of the areas in Zanzibar were very tight, and there was not a lot of room to pick up speed. I am sure on a larger level where there might be wide open spaces, it will be easier. I did get a hold of the plasma sword and it rules! A few quick swipes and people drop. I only got few shots off with the sniper rifle, it had some kick, but like i said before, it didn't really make a difference.

I really wish you guys would ask me this stuff on the forum...three of us on there went to E3 so you would get more than one opinion. Plus its a pain to keep track of posts on this site...I have to bookmark everything. So come join

BTW, is anyone here from south florida?

On the subject of the plasma swords, how do you think they will be used on multiplayer games? Will newbies, experts, or everyone try to get their hands on it?

As well, is it fast enough when you don't use the optional fire tool?

He never mentions whether you do or don't drop the weapon but Erik just said that he thinks you do drop it so I'm gonna have to believe him.

Yes Shishka said that they've changed many things (probably including this) since the 2003 trailer.

If you are going to post questions in my forum about Halo 2 do it under Halo 2 news... I will start a new thread. So go to the forum, I will answer questions there. And so will SWEETCAKES and NineDemonsCrew.
