ON the E3 damonstration from this year on Zanzibar, I noticed that the MC picked up an SMG, then he picked up a Needler, Then he picked up a Rocket Launcher, and then he picked up an Energy Sword, but did he ever put one of them down to pick up another one???
I might be wrong but maybe in Halo 2 you can hold 3 or even 4 weapons at a time, does anyone else know about this??

he dropped the smg/needler to pick up the sword, he dropped the battle rifle for the rocket launcher, i beleive that when yu dual weild it counts as one gun, if that makes sense

if you watch closely you can see he drops the weapons. the most he can have is 3 if you dual weild 2 smaller ones.

you can hold 3 weapons (see E3 trailer), if 2 of them are small (pistol, plasma pistol, smg, needler) but i don't think you can hold 4 guns, it would be a little hard to switch between weapons, don't you think?

Sorry but no. You probaly didn't notice them being dropped (which you don't unless you look down) You can carry 2 weapons but if one is a pistol type weapon you can grab another pistol type weapon and dual wield. You must drop the gun you are dual-wielding (the one in your left hand, not the one in your second weapon slot) to throw grenades or melee.

Oh and you must drop your dual-wielded gun to switch to your other gun. You can't run around shooting with the battle rifle and then pull out 2 SMG's.

In Halo 2 you should get as many weapons as you find so in case you want to keep some good guns and find other good guns. In Halo I had a shotgun and a assault rifle and I found a Rocket launcher and I didn't knowq which to switch since their both great guns.

Please look at the FAQ for Halo 2. A lot of this I shouldn't have to tell you.

Sorry but I always hated games like that. They are so incredibly unrealistic.

i dont know about that. if you watch the E3 2K3 demo you see the marine give him a smg and mc doesnt use it yet and leter he pulls out 2 smgs so i think you might be able to carry 2 small guns while you use the bigger gun

Somewhere someone from Bungie adresses this. Maybe it is on the FAQ. Anyway they say that the game has changed since then (you would think after a year it might change a little) and that will not happen now. Then they were not quite sure how dual wielding should work.

there's a sticky at the top of the underground forum mainpage that says something like "ALLL HALO 2 SCREENSHOTS, E3 VIDEOS, AND FAQ LINKS RIGHT HERE" that should help you find it :)

I don't like the idea of being able to carry every weapon you find. Just takes out the strategy. As for realism, you'll never see a real soldier that is able to run at normal speed when he is carrying 10 different guns, including a rocket launcher. And if I had a shotgun and an AR, definitely drop the AR. Shotgun is infinitely better at close range.

Oh. Well then that shuts me up.

speaking about weapons, it would be cool if marines and covenant also switch weapons during battle

I used to think this about Halo, but now, I would hate it if Halo was like this. of course in some games this is nice, but it still has to be streamined (I liked the system in Red Faction and Half-Life), but I wouldn't like that for Halo, mostly because I like it that way it is.
