Halo 4
Halo: Reach

Halo 3
Halo 2

Have any of you seen the pic on the EGM where that Drone had that gun and was shooting at MC. It shot little pink things, maybe it was just a needler??

the two guns with the highest rate of fire


I like this. Blasting out huge amount of ammunition with total disregard on where its going has always been my style when just messing around. For more competative games, i would take smg and plasma rifle, probably, though as i havent played it yet, i cant be sure

I think the best combo is going to be the Plasma rfile, use it to take the shields out, then smg, or use the Mag pistol to finish him/ or her off !

cool, i wonder what kinda a weapon the unrealeased one metioned inthe update is? i also wonder if there are more unrealeased weapons...


There is. I saw a pic of a H2 action figure holding some sort of a sniper rifle that didn't look like the normal one from H2, but i don't know about a COVENANT weapon. There'll soon be some secret stuff on gamespy probably soon.

hmm I was just thinking will the MC still be able to peek around corners? XBM had something on it a while back, yet I had forgotten until now and if I remember correctly you can peek around a corner and shoot as well? anybody else know what im talking about?

mmh interesting I just watched that same E3 thing twice and he drops his smg and needler to pick up the sword but then he changes weapons and still has the battle rifle. so can you carry three weapons? one put away and one in each hand? that actually makes sence. but to ballence that out maybe he cant pick up grenades. thoughts?

I was thinking about duel wielding and was wondering, if you have a human pistol and some other gun will you still be able to zoom in? Also, if you pick up a new weapon does it take the place of a gun in a certain hand? Plz comment if you know ANYTHING!

omg sense there are going to be only shilds in halo2 and no helth bar if u shoot someone with a powerd plasma pistil it will drane all your shilds well senes theres only shilds in halo and if u fire a plasma pistile in halo2 that would drane all your shilds then youd be screwd cus its all shilds so my ponit is that if there is no helth bar and only shilds every one would use the plasma pistel to kill all of there shild and the swich to a SMG and kill them every time and that would suck some one tell me if the plasma pistil will kill your shild in one hit!!!!!!

To the Guy who asked if you could zoom, there are no one handed weapons that can zoom in (unless the "unrevealed weapon can") but other then that no one handed weapon can zoom.

oh well it's better that they took it away from the pistol becasue it felt over powering, and lowered the power on it. because it was like using a mini shot gun.

Actually, that's incorrect. From what I've watched in some vids (legal ones) you can zoom with pretty much anything. I know you can zoom with the SMG. It doesn't have it's own nifty scope effects, just kind of an oddly shaped black box with an aiming reticule in the middle. One friend told me this was a new addition that comes with the Mjolnir Mark VI. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you could zoom with a pistol if you can with an SMG. Course I really have no idea. Only 11 days wait til we find out for sure...

Taking a plasma pistol and SMG for a fast kill $23.00
Taking a SHOTGUN for a bloody kill $56.00
A small fatal cut from my PlasmaSword Priceless. :)
