Like Major Silver, Billiam, fair enough. We all have our opinion, but at least they could remodel the Rocket Launcher, could use a new look. Rocket jumping, well you could try to do that with the amount of height we're allowed but I hardly ever do that, plus the Quake staff would come back and -blam!- about it.

Hey, I know Major Silva, I'm not pointing a finger at newbies, everyone was a newbie at some time, whether you want to admit it or not, just like everyone loved the MA5B at some time or still. I probably shouldn't be saying anyone who accidently kills themself with the Rocket Launcher is dumb, it happens to the best of us.

Indeed Tetherington, the Rocket launcher does need a hip new look. Sorry to jump you about the multi rocket thing.

Hey, no problem Billiam, you had a good reason too, it was a tad unrealistic.

I'm sorry but I can't vote in this poll.

WHERE IS THE M6D PISTOL?

It seems as if the M6D Pistol was/has been overlooked. I myself hardly used the Pistol, hope it will return in Halo 2, but I really just don't see why it would be needed on the Poll.

You don't use the best weapon in the game? Lol.

I too will miss the AR. It's value was never fully appreciated, it's usefulness never understood on Legendary.

I'm looking foward to the Magnum pistols, that were used in Halo: First Strike.

Those things are going to be bastardous. I mean, really, has there ever been a game in history were the magnum isn't the mother of all weapons? ...well, pistol wise...

Hey, I know the Pistol is quite good, I wouldn't declare it the "best" weapon in the game, but it is good. Like most of the people on this thread I'm going to miss the MA5B, but we have the Battle Rifle to look forward, the SMGs, the new melee weapon Frankie's hinted about, etc.

Sadly, I haven't gotten around to playing Halo on Legendary yet, I probably should soon.

Make the new pistol slightly more powerful but less accurate and scopeless. It could be dual wieldable but it would make it even less accurate. I don't mind it doing more damage than the old pistol, just make it inaccurate enough for headshots to be something to cheer for rather than regret.

Yeah. I was discussing this earlier in the thread and on another one. The upgraded Pistol will massacre Elite left and right, that is if it is included in Halo 2. Though the stopping power of the Pistol will be toned down so it isn't too powerful. That way they will be allowed as dual wielding weapons. Without the toning, dual wielding those Pistols would be insane. They had to do the same thing with the SMGs so they wouldn't be ruling over entire multiplayer matchs, etc.

Good point.

I suppose they'll have to keep things nice and even between the vast amounts of weapons that have been promised.

If anything, they'll end up sticking their very own tactical nuke into the fray.

Personaly I like the MA5B, but it is obviously inferior to the BR. What I really want to use are those dual SMG's.

Yeah, congratulations to Major Silva indeed Billiam. I'd play Halo over UT2K3 as well, though I hardly get any games of multiplayer against anyone anymore though. I've mostly been playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow though, pretty good multiplayer actually, though the content download needs to come in soon. Just going to play that and any other good game that comes out until Fall rolls around.

Well, you don't say. Wouldn't happen to have a link to the location of this screenshot, would you Iceman?

Know what your saying. The MA5B may be obsolete now with the Battle Rifle, but it will always be everyone's favorite, even if you don't admit it.

Dual SMGs, like the Needlers, hell yeah, can't wait to use them.

My favorite weapon in halo was the pistol, easily. I liked the shotgun, but the reload on tyhat beast was simply painful.

It did manage to bring back fond memories of rampaging across Lhowon with a pair of WSTE-M's blasting away, though. Thats what i want for Halo2. Dual shotguns that reload faster. And a Fuel Rod Gun.(I know, I know, Mac version of Halo already has it... but what makes you think I have the money to shell out for two copies of Halo?)

i like all the weapons in halo, human and covenant alike. but since there isn't an option for liking all the weapons, i picked the battle rifle. because its something new, and it looks cool and sounds great.
