There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

i've just finished reading thru the game informer magazine and its got a lot of good info. that said, i wanted to address one very big issue. the needler. there was a picture of the needler in that thing and it looked about the size of a fuel rod cannon. ho-ly shat. i kno they said they were gonna improve it a bit, but damn, bungie, the thing looks like a covenant death machine! is it even one handed anymore? i dont think it looks small enough to be. hell, i'm not even sure grunts will be able to carry it anymore. if it is one handed, think dual wielding. that'd be so much fun, even with just the original needler much less the new scary-as-hell-itself one. just felt like saying that.

So what does everyone else find absolutely incredible about the new flood of info we've gotten?

Make note to self: get xbox mag (that pic was in it 3 months ago)
and needler always was a 2 handed weapon and should never ever be dual weildable.

well i mean the swearing shouldnt be much of an issue since the game is rated M and little kiddies thats not for you (7 sister plays and really kiks a**) so well as long as no one takes it too far...it should be ok right? (it "modifies" my sentences).

no, the new picture. its freakin huge. much larger. an while the chief uses two hands to hold it, he uses two hands with everything, and the covenant use only one hand with it, even the pathetically weak grunties, so thats my logic there. its a new needler. and the magazine is the may issue, just came out as far as i kno. trust me it looks like a needler-fuel rod fusion, absolutely crazy, now get back on topic and tell me what u liked about hte article, namely the new may-issue of Game Informer's Exclusive preview of halo 2.

you know what else thwak, sometimes when i open the site, at the top of the window the title says something like Bungie.net: don't make us kick your ass! Thats a swear word that gets censored here in the forums. what gives? there is some hypocritical behavior going on if you ask me.

"Crack-Cananimator Nathan is pretty much happy with the dual wielding on SMGs, and not much, if anything is going to be done to those, but he's particularly pleased with the way the dual Needlers work. The gameplay subtleties that are going to be introduced as a a result of dual-wielding totally boggle my mind."

"Jaime is also pleased to announce that they've beefed up both the Battle Rifle (in an unspecified way) and the Needler. The Needler will now be a gun you look for, instead of one you use as a big purple boxing glove in melee situations."

spelling wiz, please allow me to take a wizz on your world; grammer and spelling is constantly changing. there are movements to even remove periods - gasp! many slang words have been added to the dictionary over the years. i'd also like to say that one of the most influential type designers of the 20th century did not believe in capital letters. thats right, jan tschiold (in his later years) began to think about how capital letters were uneccessary, and they are. he was ahead of his time. today, and as an exapmple, html doesn't even recognize them. slowly as the modern age progresses they will be phased out along with victorian era people like you who still believe that two spaces are required after a period. i will however admit that i am not a great speller and i do appologize for that. i even spell grey as gray sometimes but both are correct (depending on what country you are in). anyways, don't be so militant and keep the subject on halo.
