Alright, I had to make another post... now that the Halo 2 forum is up and running. What's with the god damned dissapearing weapons!? Come on now, we're not playing any old FPS, this is HALO!!... supposed to be the cream of the crop!... Sling the weapon, or something!... i'd seriously rather have the game delayed another month to impliment weapon slinging, then to have them simply disappear... and the new one re-appear out of thin air, that's the lamest $hit ever...

Please someone tell me i'm not crazy... SLING+WEAPONS= Sharks with laser beams attached to their Frickin Heads...

I don't know if anyone else knows what you're talking about, but I agree with you big time man. sling and holster the weapons like brute force does, It only makes sense right?

you're right, they should fix it, although it's not that big of a deal. i would definately NOT wait another month just for one tiny little feature.

Yeah that would be way cooler. And why the hell cant they make you PICK up a gun when you pick it up? Why does it just apear in your hands? I mean I know you guys at bungie are busy but you could just do a few more animations.

Ok first off, that's great "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!" I forget what that's from, but I've known I've heard that before.

Anyway as for the guns, yea true it would be more realistic for the guns to sling and that would be kinda sick, but look at it perspectively. If guns didnt reappear, then a good portion of your MP game is going to be done without the use of any weapons but your hands. It would get redundant and old, fast. As for guns dissappearing, same reasoning, if they didn't dissappear, they might just end up flooding the landscape with metal carcasses of firearms.

I agree. I have a nasty trick I call "Rocket in my Pocket".

When I see a vehicle coming I walk out into the open and start pinging his vehicle with sniper rounds which have almost no effect. He, of course, steers straight at me since sniper rounds do nothing to vehicles.

I wait until the last moment and I pull the rocket launcher, a whopping huge piece of weaponry out of thin air and blast him to smithereens, netting myself a vehicle.

Seriously, how does one NOT see a rocket launcher on a person?

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Does it really matter I'd rather be able to switch weapons quickly than have to see some sort of animation.

It matters when you are sitting on a hill and have scoped in at your enemies with the sniper rifle. Your buddy is behind him and asks, "So, what weapons do they have?"

Sure you can tell him that their carrying assault rifles, the weapons they're currently carrying but you can't see that shotgun and rocket launcher that they're hiding in their underwear.

The plan is, he rushes them from behind. You are supposed to wait until he guns down the first one. Surprisingly they happen to see him and instead of firing their assault rifles they switch to their alternate weapons and *BLAM* your buddy is dead instantly.

Sure you can snipe them down now... but you'd have never made that plan in the first place if you could see the rocket launcher and shotguns strapped to your enemy's backs.
