Halo 2 will blow all other games out of the water..........and the date won't be pressed back. They have given us alot on info on the game. But what about the extra that you could save in Halo by pressing the x button? And I know this is off topic, but what about the grunts without the masks?

I'm guessing that the grunts with out mask are on a different planet (obviously) where they can breathe, but so can humans.


Grunts breathe methane gas and incase you didn't know this, that stuff KILLS HUMANS! Only humans in environmental suits can survive that like the Master Chief.

I know they breathe methane, but maybe you don't know the case. Perhaps grunts can breathe without methane, but can't breath our kind of oxygen. Maybe it makes a bad combination.Maybe since there is more oxygen than they can take, they need methane. Maybe they can breathe with less oxygen in the air without their masks and without methane, thus making the environment decently suitable for humans. HOW ABOUT THAT CASE ABOUT K1LL1NG HUMANS!

theirs ors though on xbox live that it's going to be pushed back, but i sent a message to frankie to see what's up.......XBOX live has been crashing so much that it wouldn't suprise me if they shut it down for a couple of days to figure out what the hell is going on

What, last night and the night before? That's strange. i have been playing Rainbow Six 3 on XBL. How can what you say be true? Of course, you could just be messing around seeing as they got 50+ people working around the clock to make sure XBL is ready. Actually, XBl has been ready for everyone and their mother since it went gold, about 2 weeks ago.

I've been hanging out on xbox live for the past few nights and people that have been coming into my server have been talking about that live has been going down because it can't hold halo 2 on live, because they've shut live down for halo 2 testing, theirs a lot of things being said, but i haven't really been sure what to believe, but i'm getting these things posted to see if any of the people at bungie are going to respond to my question......but if things are going bad, they wouldn't post i on here anyways, they'd all probably just get fired for screwing up

will there be any more weapons unrevealed? hmmm... can't wait until nov. 9th...

Oh, hell yeah! I think there should be between 1-3 weapons that haven't been revealed, as well as maybe a vehicle, 1-2 new enemies (not including the drone, scarab, and honor elite) and probably 1-4 plot twists. Ooh, plot twists!

What those people say it bullsh1t. If I learned one thing, don;t take anything for real unless it actually comes out of a person from Bungie's mouth.

Nah, if they did it, it'd be an unbalanced weapon. Sure, it'd be great, but the enemy owuldn't like it. Plus, compared to the PSG-1, it has buch better accuracy.

OXM said that the chaingun and gauss warthog are just two of SEVERAL variants in halo 2 oh and the thing with the grunts all i can say is METHANE IS VERY FLAMABLE! just imagine you go to the grunts home world and light a match and poof no more grunts! exept it'd probably be more like a gigantic explosion turning the entire planet into the universees biggest bon-fire!

Common sense, pal. He said a weapon dual wieldable will be introduced to us November 9th, not the beam . That weapon has been announced about a month ago.

The scarab is a small Covenant creature that cna fly and cling to walls and such. They can stab you I think, use plasma weapons, and the marines supposedly call them 'buggars'

Oh, and the Honor Elite is a super sweet elite that guards the Prophet. Very hard to kill.

Well no matter what "they" think. What really matters is what we think dont go around looking at reviews just yet, remember there are people out there that do not like halo as much as us (even though they should be stabbed ;)...) We have the ultimate power of judgement so dont listen to them! I have been preaching halo 2 for a long time now people thought I was nuts.. until now.. well maybe I am still a bit nuts.. but I dont care hahah!!! Halo2ISgOd!

i know that! but someone on page 15 said that he saw some new weapon screenshot, i went and checked it out and it turned out to be the beam rifle i forget the dudes name but his picture is of master chief weilding at least 1 smg, his quote is like drop the clips, reload, blow em away or somethin

actually the scarab is a giant walking covenant tank that can transform into a fighter (read first strike!) the scarab is also boardable compared to oxm's little caption on the screenshot it says "Taking down something this big requires an inside job...if you catch our drift"
oh and the DRONE is the new covenant species that can fly and cling to walls and such not the scarab! i just had to clear that up for you all. oh and i'll be dual wielding double plasma pistols!=)

I would not choose a mix of plasma weapons and human weapons because plasma weapons you have to aim ahead of the person to hit them, and humans you just aim head on. (With the exception of plasma pistol+Human Pistol:P) So I am donna go with dual SMG and Dual Plasma Rifle. But for xpertice like, muh (lol jk, I am more of a grenader), ppistol and the Hpistol sounds deadly -> XP

That is so crazy I knew nothing about the drone or scarab until two days ago when I first saw the new halo 2 commercial. I just started swearing lol and my brother began to shake as we completely became retarted at the sight of the commercial but soon recovered full functionality afterwards. :)

I know I still have no idea what they are :P I am trying to retain the gruesome fate of early knowledge until it is released:) However, is there a third book?

as of now I am soaking up information like a sponge :) sadly my previous post did not work so I will post it again. I am thinking of maybe starting a clan im not sure but my idea is a clan called "Gods of war" any ideas? just a thought because I will probably just join a clan.
