Racking up the 20k Reach credits!

Before I got live, about 2 years ago, I played the halo 2 campaign like 100000 times.
Never before have I realised there is no assault rifle in Halo 2. I read it's not in there and I was like... "Hey, wait, Whatttt?"

Genuinely never came across my mind, not once.

Niiiiiiiice. The day I got Halo 2 I noticed. I went to Multiplayer to check all the weapons out and was shocked to see it wasn't there. (By the way, to everyone who reads this thinking "It was already known it wasn't there before the game was released!" I wasn't on Bnet or even reading magazines covering the pre-release of Halo 2. I wasn't allowed to use the computer and the only info I got was from friends who constantly talked about being an Elite and Dual-Wielding.)

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

I didn't realize until a few missions in.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

knew about it 3 weeks before the games release or something like that. not sure if you people knew about it but a HALO 2 skin was released for windows media player about a month prior to the release of HALO 2. the skin had basic information on some of the changes and new things a player is going to expect in HALO 2 such as the:

BR55 Battle Rifle: a cross between the MA5B Assault Rifle (which wont return) and the S2 AM Sniper Rifle. it's a semi-automatic weapon which fires 3 medium power rounds from a 36 round clip, it's attached 2x magnification scope makes it an ideal weapon at medium-long range.

M7 SMG: a sidearm which fires automatic rounds from a 60 round clip, though not as powerful as the AR by itself, it is capable of higher damage when dual wielded with a PR or another SMG.

Energy Sword: contrary to popular belief amongst fans, the Energy Sword can now be used in the game. it's fatal lunge attack can take out a target in a single strike.

Yup, it's the only weapon that I got really good with, all the rest I would say I'm above average but not by much (just like my IQ, lol)

Yeah, I got stuck on the BR (love it) and never gave the pistol a chance because it seemed so much different than the CE pistol/cannon.

i liked the m6c pistol much more then the C.E pistol. though not entirely similar, the BR replaces the C.E pistol. the m6c pistol was so fun to use (especially when dual wielding) i miss its high ROF and devastating results from previous multiplayer games

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

AR > SMG

Double SMGs > AR

Lol, there were times when I absolutely loved having dual SMG's. Just spray baby and if there were only a couple of enemy's left, they would be toast. Heh, just start at the legs and let them recoil up and kind of in a spiral strafe.

SMGs where awesome though the pistol is my favorite dual wieldable weapon, I miss being able to dual wield needlers, hope bungie makes them dual wieldable again in HALO 4

bungie isnt making halo 4 because they are going to make other games and halo 4 and all future halo games are going to be made by 343 industries

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

SMG-Mag combo was amazing. The PR/SMG combo was great in close quarters, too.
