i posted this in a topic about dual wielding plasma swords but i thought about it and this deserves its own topic. i was watching videos taken of halo 2 multiplayer at e3 and i noticed this one with the plasma rifle

http://www.opa-ages.com/e3/Halo2_E3videos/Halo2_flag_guarding .AVI

it shows the plasma rifle and it appears to have fins on the side. i was just wondering if anybody noticed this and what you thought how it will affect the gun if at all. also, in one of frankies updates he said something about a gun with fins on it and trying to get the model right. might that be what he was talking about?

they can definitely be dual wielded and thats awesome, but they should be wielded with a human weapon and not another plasma because the plasma is more effective for the shields and the bullets for eating the health. im still wondering if maybe the fins add some new functionality to the weapon or theyre just there for looks.

yes you can use marine weapons with the plasma rifle or any other covie weapon because in this awesome screenshot it showed mc with a needler and an smg one of each in both hands.

i want to point out some things , the eletricity going throught the elites body as he dies....HHMMMM , large chunk of pillar falls on ground if that chunk lays there in the final game it will put alot of attitude into the game and it would just be fun blowing walls down , and finaly when he runs up to the fence he lowers his smg and raises it again w/o having to pick it back up

and maybe some rag doll cuz after he kills the elite he hits the body and it flys right off screen (u got to move it frame by frame to see this)

The PR always had the fins. If you look at it closely in CE you can see them. Maybe in H2 you just hold it further away from your body.

About the SMG being lowered, I think he might be reloading it, not putting it away. Also the body goes flying because of an explosion nearby (the player loses his shield which proves the explosion) but It leaves the screen to quickly to really see if it has ragdoll effects!
I might be wrong on both counts, which is why I said "I think.."

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I think its odd that the plasma rifle will be duel-wieldable....

Although, it is small enough to hold in two hands....
