In Halo it just seemed to easy to die in this beast, as if there was no armour on it, e.g invisible friend with ...pistol!

I heard its harder this time around. No more killing the driver with a couple good shots from the pistol. Im pretty sure he said that it would be harder to kill the guy with the pistol... so i dont know what all this talk about there not being a pistol in halo 2 is all about.

All I know is that it's fuel tank can explode if shot, it can be boarded, and it can have the turret face one way and go another.

It can be boarded from many different angles,No longer will you get hurt when the TANK gets shot...The armor will chip away and only high calliber weaponry hurt it...So this means..it is now ACTUALLY a tank =)

The tank realy isn't that important here yuo guys, any skilled player (i.e. ME) would know that bording a tank is not that good of a desicion. If somebody else boards it, let them, but make it your decision to just kill them in quick succession. I hate the tank in Multi Player.

basicly they took that little fence thing that goes around your head that they had on top the first time and replaced it with metal. Did any one notice that in halo 1 the tank is different in campaign then it is in MP?

Yep I did, also the tank with be nigh unkillable by small arms fire only a homing rocket or some heavy round maybe even a well placed sniper bullet could do it in.

Yes but you still get hurt the same :D

And im not at my REAL comp now so I wont be checking my email for a while =)

Oh BTW,Any skilled player Would know that if you are smart,the tank can be your best friend,But IT definatly kicks ass that it actually has armour now :D...but it moves so damn slow that someone could just walk up,be like "hi howya doin" and kick you out....


BTW2-How cool would that -blam!- be topo see a tank barrel over a hill and than burst into flames cause your partner shot it in the fuel tank witha covie carbine :D
