In the novel Halo First Strike, the new pistol is at least a .50 cal, man dual wielding two of those...geeze...like a Brute with two sledge hammers.

The novels make me mad because there are certain things in the novel that are not the same in the game. How come I can't run 60 MPH in the game? Then I wouldn't even need a Warthog or Tank. How come I can't hit a button to make me have super fast reflexes? There are many aspects that don't follow each other, therefor the novels make me mad, although I do love anything having to do with Halo.

True you cant run 60 mphz in Halo the game...but you sure as hell can in Halo 2. Sprint mode, you lower your weapon and run at over twice normal speed. As for the quick reflex thing, it depends on your skill level, i can jump out of the way of a speeding Hunter or an sword-wielding Elite, then open up a can of 60 rounds to the back. HAHA!

If you think about it you kind of have fast reflexes.Who doesn't like to dodge plasma shots & the occasional grenade?But yea you should be able to jump like the elites when there about to be roadkill.

Legendary...oh man, ive conquered that in Halo Comabt Evolved, but after reading the specs. on the new A.I. of Halo2...guess ill have to wait and see. I'll probably start off on normal or Heroic, most likely normal. For sure live and lan will be awsome, but i ahve two brothers and we all love Halo, so Co-Op is my favorite part of the first Halo, it was made for Co-op man, thats one of many reasons the PC version sucked in my opinion.

Since my little brothers only se7en I look forward to live and 3 vs. 3 lan.Nothing beats shooting a gold elite with a plasma sword on legendary.(My parents must hate me for the flying controllers at 2a.m. cause i lost a health bar)

Man that ElitevsMC multi looks crazy, I knew they were gonna have Covenant vs Humans, but i was kinda hoping they would have different classes, Grunts,jackals, brutes, and ODSTs, snipers, etc. But I wont complain, ELites vs MCs is awsome, i have to admit, it looks a little wierd when a Elite is holding an assualt rifle, shooting at Master chief holding a Plasma sword.

Yea and it looks like MC & elites have different abilities.For example it looks like the elites are jumping extra high.

Those screen shots look great, like total chaos, deathmatch gameplay, Halo style. I love the Battle Rifle new look. I always used the sniper rifle in the first halo, that combined with the Assualt rifle, it was an ok combo, but now, a More accurate Battle rifle will be much more effective. OHH man its gonan be soooo cool!!!*Watches the 2003 E3 trailer again.*

Hell yea man!My combo was pistol & sniper, now im gonna have to research everything.You know that pink gun the elites carry?It's called a covenant carbine & is supposed to be the equivalent of the battle rifle.(Theres also supposed to be a super powerful covenant sniper thats lightning fast)Damn, I just can't wait any longer.

Yeah those Prophets are some ugly-looking bastards, lmao, i can just see someoen walk into a chamber that has a Prophet in it, aim at its head wit hte Battle rifle and just tap the trigger, one shot its small weak neck drops its head into it's lap. Hahaha.
-THose Brutes will be fun, one thing I have yet to see is a Hunter, have you heard anythign about Brutes replacing Hunters? I hope they don't replace, just add to, I like hunters, those things are kick ass.

Just like when you rescue Keyes I wont be able to resist shooting him in the head and throwing plasmas on him.And the hunters are tight even if they dont do much damage.On easy they should immediatly take out shield & health in one melee attack.

I loved in Halo 1, just movign to the side when they charge at you, they keep going, you turn with the pistol, aim at their back and pop, one bullet they collapse. Its so funny, like in Indiana Jones, that guy does these crazy moves with a whip or something, then Indy just shoots him with a pitol, haha.
