In FS we get a good look at some of the new weapons in Halo 2. We get descriptions of the Battle Rifle as a replacement of the AR. We also get a description of the new brute Slug Thrower and get a good idea of what it does, also we get descriptions of the new Magnum Pistol a replacement of the M6D and dual wielding Silenced SMGs. however the new guns in the book (a bungie provided slice of the Halo story bible as makaveli descriped) have drawn shocking contreversy. The Battle Rifle and Magnum esp draw the most heat. Some believe that there additional guns that will compliment the M6D and the MA5B. Others think there replacing them like I do. Other's think that just cause their in a book doesn't mean their not in the game. What do you think about all this?

I think that whatever Bungie decides to do, I'll be perfectly happy with it.

I've read the first two, infact, I've got the packaging still in my bedside draw, I think thats what Bungie smells like.

I should start smelling it before I go to bed.

I'll be on my own side.

well all the weapons and stuff in the books was created by Bungie. everything in the novels comes from the Halo Bible. Bungie created the Magnum pistol,and there is a vacant pistol spot in Halo 2,and they already have the basic specs,so they dont have to come up with a whole new idea

Another weapon in First Strike no one has brought up is the SILENCED sub machine gun this and the EGM article all but confirm that the SMG will have optional silencers.

YOu really cant trust the magazine articles. only bungie itself.

Well how about magazine articles that quote Bungie? Or a novel licensed by Bungie?

  • 07.21.2004 11:45 PM PDT

i trust the novel, because bungie has to approve of it.

In the article the silencer part is a direct quote from jaime (or I think it was jaime it doesn't matter a qoute is a quote).
