It seems two of you either failed to realize that Bungie had a multiplayer show for E3 as well, or that you completely forget that the Battle Rifle changed at least twice in between the New Mombasa E3 video, and release.

lol What a common misconception. The BR was single shot even when NOT zoomed in... Just because they always zoomed in when they shot the BR in that E3 demo for Halo 2, doesn't mean it was only single shot when zoomed in. There's gameplay footage of the single shot BR on Lockout on the bonus dvd that came with Halo 2's Limited Edition.
Now THAT BR would've been great.Only in the single player E3 was the gun sem-auto - the following year when focus was shifted to mulitplayer, the Battle Rifle became a three shot burst when unzoomed, and fired single shots when zoomed.

So what you're saying is that you were hyped specifically for an in-game gun using a specific fire mode while actively scoped?
Well holy frak, that's like that YouTube guy who claimed that ODST sucked because the Covenant cruisers in the last mission had no effect on the cars sitting on the road (which is physically quite sensible by the way). If you expect things that specific no -blam!- you're going to be disappointed.You make it sound like the game was ruined for me because of it. Nothing was announced after E3 about any changes to the Battle Rifle, so I didn't expect zoomed fire to be changed as well. The Battle Rifle was a big deal for me, to the point that I was making my own 3D Halo game to pass off the time until the game was released. It's half the reason I chose this username.

I missed it too. And that whole level they originally showed. looked much nicer than the levels they replaced it with. And no Ghost chase.Wrong E3 - I'm talking about when Bungie showed off multiplayer the following year.
