You can not zoom with a pistol in Halo 2, and you can definately not zoom with a SMG, sorry to say but your friend was wrong

No, he definately wasn't about the SMG, that's in a vid I have. In fact i just watched him do it..... rewound and watched again to be sure..... there is definately an enlargement of the dude he's looking at.....

That new assalt rifle make me think I'm playing Rainbow Six 3(M16)
SMG seems like a uzi from the previws from g4techtv.
Man this is like 007 GoldenEye agian. Atlest i still own my old N64 and the game. I have to study the dual weapon thing. Or i can play the halo 2 demo.

I say dual plasma rifles might be fun if it still screws up movement. that would be great

If you live in Washington you could go to E.M.P. (Experience Music Project) in Seattle at the Seattle Center at 11/8 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Thats something you could you do wait it out. HOPEFULLY YOURE THERE!!!

it really doesnt matter if you have two sword cause just one is a "one hit kill" anyways

first i would like to say that i cant wait for halo 2 but i really dont feel like going at 8 at night and waiting just to get a video game, do you guys think i could still get one the first day even if i didnt wait for hours and hours?

Guys, guys, guys, You gotta think outside the box. The best dual wielding combo is definently a pair of tank treads.

its juz great to see both needlers in full pumping action...and whoosh your opponent explodes in purple fumes with a glass-breaking sound, but i doubt its effectiveness. there should be far better combinations

Heard that using da MELEE Function of da PLASMA SWORD is also extremely powerful, guys watch out for that, it could mean life and death if you miss the opponent with the normal func. We all know dat da sword takes a hellot of time to 'reload'.

does anyone out there know the answer to this question:

* how will the reticle appear on the HUD if we dual-wield. Will they share one(i doubt so) or would one be slightly alligned to the side of the other?

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...



Bzzzz wrong in all the movies you seen zooming in they wern't the guns he was using an elite its a special zoom only the elite has

They'll probably overlap the recticles, like the plasma pistol and human pistol recticule will look like a triangle with a circle in the middle or something like that

NO NO NNNNNNNO, when attached to an engine, the treads prove to be a good crushy-fun weapon.

i change my mind 2 covenant pistols would be awsome but the only problem is they heat up to fast. on halo i burn one up in like less than 10 sec. just think how fast i could do that in halo 2 :)

i've been dual wielding for a while. my frag has been taking your shield out and my pistol finishes you off.
1 shot 1 kill, no exceptions!
