Banshee Barron, I really didn't play long enough to measure the power of the battle rifle in comparison to the pistol. It did seem to be the more powerful of the weapons at hand, besides the RL and sniper of course. I'm pretty sure headshots count for something though, as it is so with all FPS games worth a crap. Draerden, you can't use 2 dual slots. In fact, when you switch your duals the secondary gets dropped and you can pick up another later which isn't a problem at all considering the amount of weapons lying around. Again, I didn't use the tracking function at all for the abovementioned reasons, also worth noting that the game felt enough like halo to just fall into the nomal button routines and not think about the new features in the heat of battle. I wish I could have played it again today at e3 to try these things out, but my forged badge doesn't get me media credentials, only floor access. Blacklight badge security measures my a.s.s. : P

I'm alone, where is my microphone.

What was the best part about it? And are you able to sleep?

Fragzor thank you so much for taking the time to post this and to deal with the morons who don't listen to you. I've just learned a lot and now I ahve more to look forward to. Where can I find out about Fanfest?

Whoo Hooo... I now know everything! (Well, that's able to be known at this juncture)
No more questions

Now what I'd like to hear... is just general bragging. What cool moves did you pull off or did you see? Just let loose on whatever you want to go on about....

I noticed in screenshots that the sniper rifle had been re-designed. Is the scope re-designed or is it the same as it always has been? That question just popped up in my head.

I suppose if you drop the second weapon when you melee, that pretty much answers if you can dual-wield the energy swords.

Oh another question for you Fragzor. In Frankie's update he talks about Fuzion cores lying about and that they can be moved. How is that accomplished? Can you push or pull objects in Halo 2 or somehow pick them up and carry them?

This could be a big thing. I can imagine shoving along a blasted chassis of a warthog for cover while my other two Spartans duck out from behind it to shoot at the enemies we're advancing on.

Dizam you! Heh, so you did play it. That's pretty cool. I have no real questions about it though, everything seemed obvious.

i can't really imagine halo 2, so i'm not gonna ask any questions. i'm just gonna have to experience it myself when i get it and play it. i mean things like this have to be experienced firsthand and that's why i won't ask any questions. Also I hope bungie puts the zanzibar MP map up to download so ppl can play it at home. It shouldn't be that big. maybe as big as the halo pc demo.

How does the warthog handle, does the handling changes make it better?

did you manage to jack a vehicle?

how useful is the boost feature for the ghost?

Well, just about every other question I had was answered, except for one. Are you able to see your feet/legs when you look down? I thought I remembered reading that somewhere but I'm not sure.

You diden't play it. Stop lying.


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.


Bungie did open the doors during the fanfest. =) The game was awesome.

I am halo 2 newb. I saw a broken warthog and it was like making all these weird noises -- So I went over to check it out and it -blam!- blew up and I died. Damn secondary explosions.

These I know from Frankie's update on Friday. Sprinting and Melee combos were turned off for the build at e3. They're still working on balancing them for multiplayer so we'll have to wait and see if they still make the game.

Secondly, throwing grenades in the water is supposed to be absolutely fantastic, mokre so then it was in Halo 1. Lastly, the Mjolnir is a space suit... of course he can go under water.

I've been asking these question all week long so I'm getting pretty knowledgable. Yay me! (Or should I be ashamed I'm so sad... I'm desperate for all things Halo)

Yes, I beleive him now, I said it awhile ago, why are people still quoting me from that past post?

  • 05.15.2004 7:15 PM PDT

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


I believe him he like knows more about the game like the pistol is there in Halo 2 as we all thought it wasn't going 2.

how do the icons work? i.e. can you see the icons above the enemy heads as well or just your team? (personally hoping that it's just your team) i tried to figure it out by watching some game footage and it certainly seemed as though they only appeared above your teammates.

so as soon as your shields are gone you can be killed with like 1 shot from an smg or whatever?

Yea it was just your team. The coolest part is that the icon turns into an x when your teammate dies...so that icon feature gives you idea of where you should and should not go on the battlefield.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Yeah.....I'm not too good with words. I like pictures. But knowing me, I'll see a teammate die and go to an "X" and I'll rush over there... either to exact sweet revenge or drown in a pool of my own blood.

how do you know the pistol will be in Halo 2? it wasn't even in that build of the game. if you really did play, then where is this health dot located?
