Just started playing Halo and enjoying it very much. What got me started was a spot on G4. Seen the Halo 2 shots and liked it. I had a copy of Halo sitting in my draw from a sound card package deal. Booted it up and have been playing for a week now. One question to all of the vets here: When should I try MP? Should I finish the game on hard level before even trying MP or just dive in? And another one: I don't suppose you can dual-wield weapons in this one, correct? Hope to see you all soon on the MP scene.

Welcome to the Maw! It's always nice to see someone new joining!
To answer your questions:
* I started MP right after I finished the game on Heroic difficulty (legendary is even harder), the first games were different from the Single Player mode and I had to learn how to fight all over again, but at least the basic skills from finishing Single Player remained. I think that if you finished at least Heroic, then you'd be ready. After all, you can only get better by practice!
* No dual wielding here, that was included in Halo 2 only. I never had much trouble without it, though.
If you need some advice in playing MP, then check the guides section for the Multiplayer Tips. I learned a bit from that even after I had played MP for a while, I'm sure you'll benefit lots!
Edit: Man, Igg's post right over mine is basically the same... Oh well, great minds think alike.
