The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

Slayer also has rounds or at least time limits. If you are playing slayer on a large map with destructable environments wouldn't you want to reset the landscape after awhile other wise you may make the area to open and easy to kill people.

There may also be options to set respawns for the vehicles during each round. At E3 the rounds were only 3 minutes so no need to respawn them during the round.

Pistol is now the magnum

You can't dual wield the Battle Rifle

Vehicles do respawn.

HAH! Funniest thing i ever heard. "Wont be pistols". Its a joke. Read book 3 like last 20-30 pages. Or just read the whole thing. They discribe the new pistols. The new pistol was heavier according to the spartans and the bullets were the size of Freds thumb. Scary ya?

I guess that settles the whole Pistol mystery...

"Bye Bye Pistol - Our familiar friend the Pistol has been replaced by the more efficient Battle Rifle. This descendant of the familiar Assault Rifle now has a built in zoom similar to the pistol, but not quite as accurate. Although it lacks the precision of the pistol it is no slouch when it comes to combat. Pick up two and mow down your enemies with ease!"

-quote form the article



That last sentence really confuses me...pick up two...battle rifles? What the?!?!

During short rounds it would be fine if vehicles didn't respawn, but in large rounds in could become annoying.

We shouldnt worray about anything these loosers say. I mean they were playing the E3 zanzibar build. And we all know that in that build the graphics arnt even up to par yet,
just because there ws no pistol in zanzabar doesnt mean anything. I mean ther was no needler in blood gultch unless you specified a differnt weapon pack.
I doubt you can dual wield the battle rife. it doesnt make sence. I think these people were confused. they were calling the spartans " Marines" maybe they mixed up the SMG and the Battle rifle...
We all know that the game has changed since zanzibar build.. so dont worry.

A warthog with 'tighter handling'? 'no fish-tailing'? That blows. That was the coolest way to stop and drop off your flag carrier or run someone over in Halo1.

You can still fish-tail. It just happens on command now, see that is what the emergency brake is for. You are supposed to be apple to pull off some interesting moves now.
