Hey....Clam Bigboy....

Please shut up about the real shotguns. MC HAS SHIELDS. ARE THERE SHIELDS IN REAL LIFE. LAST TIME I CHECKED, NO!

No matter how "damaging" the shotgun could be, it will take time to penetrate the actual shields that Spartans have. And if you read the books, you'd know that even nukes take time to get rid of the bigger shields.


it doesn't matter whether or not the MC has shields. YES IT DOES!!!! OMG ARE YOU STUPID

they can't take an infinite amount of damage, and look at the sword, one lunge equals instant death, so yes, a shotgun really could kill the MC in one shot WELL A SWORD IS A COVENANT WEAPON DUMBASS.....OF COURSE IT GOES THROUGH SHIELDS

and your arguement about nukes and covanent shields isn't relavent because the covenant ships' shields are exponentially more powerful than the MC's shields, so yes, a single nuke would not take them down, but a MAC round will


And that last part......what the hell are you trying to say? Sorry, but you're angering me a little.


a rocket goes through shields

it doesn't really matter if it is a covanent weapon, because if you look at a plasma pistol, it is almost as bad as the human pistol

and i put the last part there because i thought you were referring to the covenant ships' shields, because they are the only "bigger shields" in the game, and if you weren't referring to those , then i don't know what you were talking about

oh yea blah blah blah blah and also blah blah blah blah and you know what, maybe blah lahb lahb balh bhal blha blah blah
BLAH


Yes, it does matter if it's a Covenant weapon, and hey, genius, did you know that a charged Plasma Pistol takes away and entire shield? Um....does the Mganum do that?

And no, the Covenant Ship's shields are not only vast, but they are a lot stronger too. If you have read Fall Of Reach and remember correctly, then you'd know it says that Dr. Halsey had to tone the shields down a bit too have them for the MC.

And that last part....whatever.

okay, the new shotgun pissed me off so much that I plugged in a second controller, lanched a custom, normal shielded, split-screen match, stood 5-inches from the second player w/ a shotgun, shot, & yeilded about 1/10 of sheild left. I had to actually had to run into the guy & shoot to kill him. the H2 shotgun's range ends at about the length of the sword, wich can lunge 10-ft further. about 5-ft of instant kill range is needed. i would expect weapons & armor to be 10x more effective in halo compared to todays, so really it should be able to kill 10-ft away.

i was talking about a normal shot from a plasma pistol, and if that doesn't work for you, how about a single shot from a plasma rifle? that doesn't take the MC's shields all the way down, and a rocket launcher usually results in instant kills, so covenant weapons aren't all that much better than human weapons

apparently you haven't read the books well enough to remember what happened



You know, you're telling a guy to get his facts straight about an innacurate SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL BY A GAME COMPANY

It REALLY doesnt matter, i will not go buy so much crap just to know the freakin' Halo story.

I know what you are saying. They weapon was way out of balance and was only good for killing people up close, And even then it wouldn't always come threw for you. But that was the ENTIRE problem with all of Halo 2's weapons. They were TOO weak. Making it to where you have to run up close to somebody in order to kill them. Ruling a few weapons.

I want more then just the sniper rifle for longer range combat. Bring back the pistol or something that can kill something in a distance.

battle rifle and carbine


Yeah but they are only good for Medium range. They don't have the downing power at long distances. If you actually hit your target, they have plenty of time to find cover.

you're right

it doesn't matter, but its fun to have an intelligent arguement, and besides, it is a good story

i haven't bought the novels, i wouldn't waste my money on something like that, so i borrowed them from friends;)


Oh i agree, im up for intelligent conversations, but its really hard to have in these forums.. and the books have full of loop-holes and so does the game.. i mean do you know what a glassed planet would look like?

They constantly state that Master Chief is the almight warrior, that his armor can with stand anything, that he can fall from the atmosphere and not have any damage, yet people are talking about bring back fall damage. If he could fall from that high, wouldnt he be able to take bullets no problem?

Ok. back to the question though.

Should they make the shotgun usable again? Or leave it and its glorious randomness?

yeah i'm tired of people who think that the MC is invincible and of people who think that the books are the last and only word on the backstory of halo

if you've ever read First Strike then you know it is crap. if you haven't then don't because it has nothing to do with the story in halo 2, and i think it was a major screwup by bungie.




I just really want bungie to make something.. amazing, to satisfy us all. I want the movie to be something of literal epic, even BIBLICAL proportions because this could be... huge.

Yes. Halo, in the bible.

I surely want a realistic shotgun, that means EXTREMELY devastating at close range but utterly useless after maybe 10 feet ;) maybe that is a bit exaggerated but no more than 20 feet. The Halo CE shotty was almost a sniper rifle :p

We are not playing Super Smash Brothers with Mister Game and Watch, though his attack did need number 7 to do a smash... hmm coincidence?

Wow you're dumb, First Strike and all the other Halo novels were written by people who were comissioned by Bungie, everything in the books is pretty much as official as it gets, and of course First Strike has nothing to do with Halo 2, it takes place BEFORE Halo 2, between Halo CE and Halo 2.
