Too bad you cant carry a third weapon, a rocket launcher perhaps?

Yeah but keep in mind even though its hard to believe that the Chief IS still only human even if its hard to belive so.

I forgot which book, but it said that Spartan II can carry a third weapon but it would be heavy and unwieldy.

oh then it would be unbalanced...and i hate the rocket launcher in multiplayer (singelplayer: i love it). it's a noob weapon. with this everyone is a good player. i love the ma5b (it looks great) and i hope it will be in h2....do you read me bungie? please give it a chance.

Of course it would be unbalanced, its still good to dream. I dont think rocket launcher makes everyone a good player. There are n00bs out there that kill themselves more with the rocket launcher than they kill the enemy.

well I voted for the BR... why? read on...
In halo one, the first weapon you get to see (already on the box!) is the AR
it's a fantastic looking weapon (I respect bungie big time for that little display on it, it was the first thing that made me think : woooow this game is detailed!!!!) andI think it was an obvious choice to everyone that played the game in the beginning
these things made it kid of like a "halo trademark", that's exactly what I think the Battle Rifle will be for Halo 2

Now for this reason I expect the battle rifle to be at least as cool as the Assault Rifle (It sure looks cool in the E3 demo!) and since the Battle Rifle is new, I voted for that one, but I sure will miss the AR too! luckily halo 2 will have a prequel that features the AR :D

BTW respect to bungie for all the weapons and melee attacks, I mean, can you have more fun than while blowing up a whole group of flood to pieces with a grenade?
or sticking a plasma grenade in someones face and look at his part of the screen how blue it is? and you definately should try melee-ing a hunter to death with a rocket launcher :D
off topic: in co-op, me and my brother always fight about who 's getting to kill the hunters (my brother likes to needle them, I like to melee them, but we both agree that putting them in a world of grenades and rockets is much fun too)

TetheringtonWa is back, ready to keep this thread going. Cheers to Major for keeping this one interesting, if you didn't see Billiam and I give our tribute Major.

Well said, Bartman.

ok last post and once and for all : the easiest way to deal with an elite is to shoot an overcharged plasma bolt (plasma pistol), followed by a pistol round in the head...
the most fun way to deal with an elite is to stick a plasma grenade in his face and watch the fireworks of the grenades that were already lying on the ground under the elite lol

Dont grenades only go off after a frag 'nade goes off?

Yeah, if a grenade goes off around several unactive ones, they will explode. Seen it done around Plasma grenades.

I think dual wielding will be more balanced with the longer reload times and not being able to use 'nades ( do to hands being full )

You've discraced yourself by not making the human pistol an option in the poll. Go sit in the corner and cry. Anyway, I said the sniper rifle, cause it's the next best thing.

Well, Buddy, I think you will be able to use grenades still even if your wielding dual weapons, you'd just have to holster one for the moment as you reach for the grenade, like Master Chief did at the end of the E3 video.

The second person since yesterday to complain about the Pistol not being included in the Poll. Maybe Major Silva overlooked it, by accident?

i got to say i love the sniper, although it is a bit easy to use in halo, the way i see it is, if ur a real man with a real shot, y do u even need more than one bullet???
not to make most of u feel bad but think about it... which is more humiliating, facing ur opponent one on one and dukein it out or beeing shot by someone u dont even see?

Well, obviously being downed by a Sniper. But unlike some people I have no problem with Snipers, even though in a sense its the more respective label for Camping. But if there's a few Snipers on my team, I'm not complaining, just to know that someone has your back is comforting in a tense battle.

I dont mind snipers. I kill them all the same. You can admire a sniper, but they still die just like everyone else when you put a bullet through their head. Oh, and I didnt put the pistol because there wasnt enough room so I just picked the guns based on how popular I thought they might be.

The MA5B has my favourite reload action.
