Subject: Please pass the.... Pistol!

There is a story up on HBO's front page about a German magazine that has some of the first info on Halo 2 beta. There is some NEW info, such as the inclusion of the dual wielding pistols and boardable banshees. Go check it out!

Its the magnum. More powerful, less range, no scope, and a ten slug clip (instead of twelve).

Why don't we all wait until we see the actual article (or for that matter the big OXM) before making judgements, eh?

I wish I could see it that way... but it just seems too stupid for me :'(
How/when will you board it any way? And when you do, how will you open up the hatch, and how will the animations look, etc...

Any way, do we have some sorta confirmation that the article wasn't a fake?

I told people 5 months ago when I first joined that there was going to be a new pistol in Halo2 called a magnum, (I had a whole page of quotes from First Strike), and no one took me for granted because I was a "noob". Well, I guess I tole 'em so.

How did you "tole 'em so?" That info may not even be real, and if it is, then it doesn't ever mention a magnum in it... just daul wielding pistols. Any way, I also believe that there will be the "magnum," but I'm hoping for some form of silenced pistol...

Its the magnum, because that is the pistol that was introduced at the same time as the BR in First Strike. I am 99.9% sure that I will be correct come november ninth.

Hopefully not. That would take away from the action, and no one wants that.
