The pistol, well, not really but the Halo 1 pistol is supposably not there, replaced by the Pistol HE from the books (something like a Desert Eagle with slugs the size of your thumb).

the pistol will, assult rifle will. both of those are still there, just under different names. assuolt rifle is now SMG. and pistol has been replaced by the battle rifle. and the purple boxing glove with spikes on it now has the ability to shoot people. (you can almost run faster than needles in halo1)

Those weapons you mentioned are not still there, there are new weapons replacing those, which is why they have different names.

Ok, first of all, what is the "Apparation"? Is it a name that you gave a vehicle in Halo or what, 'cause I've never heard of it.

Second of all, where did you hear about the "white" button being taken out? From one of the many Halo 2 reviews from contest winners or what, because I havn't heard of it. Then again, I havn't been keeping track of a lot of stuff lately, so who knows...

The apparation is that transport that looks like a fork that Keys flies in level 3.

The floating tanks are called wraiths and the gun turrets are called gun turrets.

The turrets are called Shades by the way. I read in the review by StrangePurple of STK when he got to go play halo 2, he said that he used the Assault Rifle(Not Battle Rifle). He mentions the smg and the assault rifle in the same paragraph, I dont think Strange would get this mixed up being one of the best there is at this game..

The SMG was the starting weapon with the settings we played on, Bungie said you can completely customize starting equipment, but it so happened that the SMG was the begin weapon when we tried it. Unlike Halo1, the assault rifle actually kills people in a reasonable amount of time and is useful throughout the enemy base. Dual wielding is even better since u completely dominate the guy with 2 SMG’s.

I never said it was being removed, just that it's function was changed.

Actually, the gun turret is called a "Shade".

The melee attacks are still there but they have less range. Not really a
subtraction but I know I was disappointed when I read that one. Less
humiliation kills. =(
I guess I'll have to adjust to getting closer.

o yeah, and the U shaped covie dropship is called a bandit (as stated by a marine in the level halo." we got another bandit droping in behind us, there trying to flank us.")


Ummm... bandit is just a term for a hostile (generally vehicle). Not a name.

Uh.... a covenant ship would not be called a 'Bandit'. Lets look at the other names of vehicles......

Banshee
Ghost
Shadow
Shade
Wraith

Dont think 'Bandit' would fit in with the whole Ghostly-shadowy thing going on.
dlm is right also. Bandit is a term used generally for an enemy vehicle.

Yeah, the flashlight will probably still exist in SP, I just don't see the use for "teamspeak" in the SP campaign. So there must be another function assigned to that button. A flashlight is the only thing that makes sense.

If they replace the MA5B, I'll be quite pissed, because it's another piece Bungie history being thrown in the trash.

Bungie is not following the book story.
