Ahhh. A man with a sharp wit. Someone ought to take it away from him before he cuts himself.

And it is awesome!! Don't worry, you won't miss the pistol, the battle rifle is awesome and even more versatile! Team indicators are now little individually customizable icons above your teams heads, and turn to X when your teammates die. Duel wielding is pretty cool, and the needler is a covenant version of the SMG. Overall I'd describe it as -blaming- awesome and totally worth the wait. Thanks Bungie for giving those of us at the Fanfest the oppertunity to play the great work that you've been doing for the last 2 years!

the new icons are definitely not -blam!-. They're way more useful than just a green arrow. They show who is where not just that someone is there. They also offer a chance to customize your characters for XBL so you can make a name for yourself.

No kidding. I'm tired of looking at these sorts of posts.

Halo 2 wasn't open to the public, you idiot.

Edit: Oh... I did not read Fanfest. Bungie could've opened the doors at the Fanfest. I'm not sure. :X My apologies.

Thanks Fragzor. For what it's worth. I do believe you. (I also trust Shadowsnipe so even if I didn't believe you I'd have changed my mind)

Frankie also, bless his soul, answered most of my questions during his update today and I appreciate your adding your part.

Are you allowed to clarify just how the dual wielding slots operate and possibly if the rocket launcher Target Tracks people on foot?

and... I do believe Lone Ranger is asking about why there was no health meter. Did you ask the representative about that? Is it because the HUD wasn't finalized?

holy crap these people piss me off. How do you know that he hasn't played it? All anyone ever says is "stop lying you didn't play it". Frankly i believe him and by the way the icons sound sick!

Why not? I was spending most of my time on Halo.Bungie.Org before signing up here. I signed up only last month and yet... I know just about everything there is to know about Halo 2.

You don't have to be a bungie.net member to be a fan. In fact, in the last two days it has begun to look as if B.net is not the place for a cerebral discourse upon Halo -- Too much screaming and yelling.

I think he might be trying to be funny. If not then jesus, just ignore him. He has nothing to contribute.

Ok well I will try to answer your questions as posted but if I skip you just let me know. First of all I did play it along with everyone else at fanfest. You can verify that I was there simply by looking at my chapters There you will see Bungie Fanfest 2004, a chapter only open to those that got into fanfest. Oppiten, I've been a member since 2002, not 2004 and this was my third fanfest. So there! : P Don't be jealous, I just want to answer your questions. Anyways, we didn't see the main menu cause the system link menu was preloaded when we came in. Duel wielding is cool and easy to pick up. Just hold Y to duel wield and X to swap/add to empty slot. When duel wielding, melee attacks cause you to drop the secondary weapon a la shooting while carrying the flag in halo 1. While I'm on the subject, the flag is treated more like a weapon and can only be picked up by holding X. Two thumbs up on that! I didn't really use the target tracking on the rocket launcher partially cause I forgot and partially cause I only had the RL once during gameplay. There is a health meter but it appears that you only have one health dot. So if your shields are down you die pretty quickly. I belive this is for the sake of realism, not the asthetics of the HUD. Also, I especially liked the interactive and moving environments. They add so much more to the multiplayer and make the world more dynamic and increase the unique aspects of each individual match. Anyone else?
P.S I was told that sprinting is still up in the air and that's why it was turned off in this build.

Ok, now that I have trust in you, Fragzor, I'd like to know if the Battle Rifle can score head shots much like the pistol. That question has been nagging on me for months.

Good info on the dual wield/bash. Thank you. I'd never have thought of that possibility. Nice job Bungie.

1.) Also, my fault for not wording my question properly but pertaining to the Dual Wield.

I see that it's --
two "two hander" weapons or
"Dual weapons" and a "Two hander"
but can you carry two sets of dual weapons instead of the combinations I just mentioned?

I don't think so but that would finally clarify things for me.

2.) Plus, the rocket launcher. It doens't "target track" people on foot does it? I keep telling people I'm pretty sure it's a "no" but I like to be perfectly sure.
