'16 days! Thats nearly two weeks!'

do u really think it matters? i mean the weapon u have at the time would be ur primary weapon so ur secondary 1 would change when ever u change ur weapons

Now wat would be cool is, can u duel weild 2 weapons (1st weapon) then duel weild ur second weapon giving u 4 wepons in toatal (e.g plasma pistol and pistol, and plasma rifle and SMG)??

Those that didn't saw because the page change:

I missed a lot of pages, so:

First of all, about the "new map". next time, write it as a ***spoiler*** but yes, u are right and I have to say I'm happy, it's a great map, and one of the best designed small map. but I hope we'll see at least one more redesig, maybe for Chill out. although Lock Out seems to be the new chill out.

As for the "new pistol". Bungie said once the Magnum will be less effective and will not have a zoom. the reason is that in Halo 1 skilled players turned the pistol to a super weapon - three shots and u are down. that's not the pistol they wanted. the pistol should be kind of a back-up close-mid range weapon, not a killing-machine. but I hope and believe it'll still be a great weapon to use.

I did my research about the very popular question "What is the Drone" and came up with this:
-Engineers are small, they are floating creatures with tentacles. they are a non-combat covi, but they can fix anything and have the ability to learn new technologies.
-Drones are an insect like creatures who have the ability to fly. They are very fast and unpredictable, but weak. At combat they prefer long-rage sniping as closer range combat.

btw, while I was writing some things I knew before, I found this - http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=covenanthierar chy

And I believe sure this is the Drone: http://rampancy.net/rampancy_images/6b449a40e72ec405fa9559b56 fbfc6bb-80 71_640x480.jpg

i am completely psyched bout HALO 2 but they defenitley should have added new 'nades
but they still have some of the weapons from HALO available in multi-player i think but in the screen shots for HALO 2 the old sniper rifle looks soo much better

Its a gd idea (my m8 always p*sses me of using plasma rifles in halo so i cant move) but iv heard that the 'plasma thing' has been removed from halo 2 cos it anoyed people in halo but im not sure totally . It would be a gd idea, it would really anoy people though if u kept doin it and im sure ud get alot of people on x box live temin up on u after a while

Think the needlers have more than 20 rounds each. If you have seen the demonstratoin video from Zansibar you'll notice that the needler fires faster and has more ammo than in HALO 1. The guy commenting on the video is actually saying something like "and in HALO 2 the needler is actually worth picking up" Meaning its faster, deadlier and HAS MORE AMMO.

Don't think plasma slows down mulitplayer opponents like in HALO 1. At least i've read it somewhere. Sorry mac.

I'll probably go with the theplasma pistol and either the human pistol. Unless there is a magnum pistol like they described in First Strike. Then its plasma pistol and that. And just out of curiosity, can u duel weild the energy swords?

As they described in the update, no, the swords are the only single handed used weapon that cannot be dual wielded.

pass

anyone who thinks that duel plasma rifles will own because ur target slows down so much is wrong.. Plasma rifle now doesnt slow you down at all when you get hit by it. Infact i was really disapointed with the plasma rifle. Its good for taking down shields but the plasma postol is better.
The best combo ive found was
plasma pistol/smg
2x smgs
duel neadlers
neadler/smg
all those combos are better than any weapon and plasma rifle. oh also the plasma rifle can be shot for like 3 times longer before it over heats.

LAZY PEOPLE THAT DON'T READ: you can not double wield swords, you can not throw gernades when your double weilding, and 4 player coop sounds ridiculous.
