do you think it should recoil when you shoot your sniper or dual wield? (in the E3 04 demo the needler and SMG dual wielded would recoil)

No we know, thats the one thing I overly disliked in Halo, No recoil on the sniper, could shoot 4 times and wouldn't really need to move the analog stick up or down, just left and right. Usually good snipers are one hit kills, but I'm talking about the ones who think they are "good".

but look at it this way: a guy who can flip up a big massive tank would be able to hold a gun steady, wouldn't he?

EDIT: but i know that it is going to be in there, so don't flame me.

Actually, in the beta version of the game the human sniper rifle does have more more recoil then the original game. It matters little since most people will be using the Beam Rifle which fires a seemingly unlimited, steady stream of shots if you time it correctly.

so far that gun is just rumour, it isn't confirmed. unless i missed something of course. it was mentioned in this article but that article could be a complete fake, so there you go.

Yeah, don't say it too loudly on this board or they'll delete your post. You'll find out what it is on August 24th.

No, I never said Halo 2 is coming out on 08/24/04. I said you'll find out about it on that date. That is all. And concerning whether or not the Beam Rifle has been officially confirmed by Bungie, open up a thread with "Beam Rifle" in the title and see what happens to it.

i think he meant that the OXM Holiday Guide will show all the info and pics of halo 2 that we want. this one magazine from MICROSOFT confirmed that there will be a covenant sniper. i found it a long time ago on HBO.

im not sure about OXM only being in America. go to www.oxmonline.com, and test by going to the subsription page. if you can choose Australia, you can get it.

It's not available in Austrailia that I know of. Everyone will have access to this information shortly after the OXM article is released.
