Ahhh my apologies! I misunderstood! Now I like this thread!

Overrated: Needler upgrade!
Underrated: Covie Carbine!
Sure the new Needler is better, but who cares when there is a new gun we know hardly anything about?!?


underrated? no one thinks it is bad...

But no one pays attention to it. That and OXM said it was their new favorite gun so it must be great. That and their's the mystery of whether it fires projectiles or plasma.

Overated: Multiplayer

Underated Single Player.


Single Player has better graphics, cooler enemies, better gameplay, and a cooler feel. Multiplayer will rule, but u cant beat single player.

People talk about it, but its abilities are not widely known, thats why I think its underrated... I mean everyone knows about the new Needler RoF and the BR's 3 shot burst and one shot semi auto when zoomed. But no-one knows about the Carbine!

Over rated: The battle rifle
Under rated: New vehicles

Overrated: Target tracking rockets.

Underrated: Dual-wielding

Everybody thinks that target tracking rockets are going to be way overpowered because they will be a one- or two-hit kill AND track their target. That's not true, the rockets aren't as powerful as in Halo 1, so the fact that the new launcher is being overrated is a good thing. As for dual-wielding, other games let you dual-wield almost any gun, which is just stupid. In Halo 2, you can only dual-wield one-handed weapons and you can dual-wield any two weapons that only need one hand. Plus, you can take people down really, really, really fast.

Overated Magnum Pistol
Underated Silenced SMGs

Out of the two guns descriped in First Strike the Magnum Pistol get's the most heat as to whether or not it will be in the game. However toward's the end of FS MC dual wields Silenced SMGs and no one ever talks about that. Also in the old EGM article a bungie employee said that the SMGs may have optional silencers.

To the rocket launcher commenting guy, yeah the RL will still be very powerful, as powerful as in Halo: CE maybe, still kill enemies in one hit BUT it will only be heat seaking to vehicles and you'll need a shot after shooting the vehicle in order to kill the enemy.

And 5 seconds of standing still aiming at something is a sniper's paradise.

when you hit the vehicle, it explodes and that kills someone.
