So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I heard you could by pressing down on the D-pad. Is it true? Can you really lower your weapon in Halo 2?

Way back when I was told that the only way to ''lower'' your weapon was to keep hitting the grenade button when you didn't have any. I guess it looks like you lower it from other peoples point of view, but not your own. I was told this a long time ago, but never checked it out for myself.

Does that mean no?

The best answer I can offer is maybe. If anything you can just plug in 2 controllers, start a private match and try both ways to see what one works.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

You can lower your gun in Halo 2, depends on the weapon tho, by using the d pad. Just press it and your weapon lowers.

Gotcha, you know, there's still hundreds of little things we still don't know for sure in this game. Once or twice a month I'm told or find out stuff I either didn't know about or wasn't sure about before.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Two ways to lower weapons, down on D-pad and left trigger after all grenades have been thrown.

It works with:

BR
SMG
Shotgun
Carbine
Sniper
Beam rifle
Plasma rifle
Brute plasma rifle
Magnum
Plasma pistol

Aye, they do it automatically after not pressing any buttons on your controller for a long, certain amount of time.

Brings back memories of no-scope fights on Lockout, snipers pointing down, bullets flying out at 90% angles. Pure awesome.

"Through the fog the army moves on. Pushing through borders. Knocking over obstacles. Killing all enemies. Victory is secured, brothers, march on until the flag rises over the landscape."
The Holy Council

>:) Im the pro at this stuff.
You throw all your grenades and hold L
If someone else is looking at you, your weapon is lowered.
Its lowered as long as you hold L (With no nades).

Any more questions just ask, i played halo 2 on origonal xbox and i have it on 360, the best XBox game ever.

Now if only it had forge....
