A more pistol like pistol.

What other pistols are there!!!!


*cough* Automatics *cough*


Why am I such a gun smartass?

Hobo 06-07-2004 08:22 AM

The pistol in Halo 1 felt like a semi automatic zoomable hand cannon.

I want something that'll put a hole in a marine, not in a hunter.

sligster 06-07-2004 03:28 PM

I agree... I don't want a weapon that's good, but not too good. Hunter's are too easy to kill in Halo 1. 1 pistol shot to the back (or neck or stomach if your a good shot) and their dead! WTF!

It should take at least 5 shots. not 1.

Facsimile 06-08-2004 12:55 AM

The Hunter easy kill didn't annoy me, and we will have Brutes to be the big badasses now, but I think the pistol should still be in it, but should be toned down. Having the best weapon in the game as a starting weapon wasn't right...

sligster 06-08-2004 01:36 PM

Technically... the rocket launcher is the best weapon in the game... but I can see your point with the pistol..

Observe:

sigh... poor grunt never saw it comin..

Mojo 06-09-2004 01:47 AM

Heh, thats funny!

Anyway, I hope the Aim-Aid will be taken out. You know, when you're targeting an enemy, and the enemy moves, and your reticle moves too? I always had troubles with that, I'm usually following the enemy with the reticle myself, and because of the Aim-Aid, I sometimes miss...

Fez 06-09-2004 08:34 AM

Lol.

I never had a problem with any autoaim, but there were a few times up against the flood where it went abit funny.

sligster 06-09-2004 11:50 AM

Just out of nowhere- FUNNY BEHAVIOR AMONGST NPC'S!!

my favorite funny behavior in Halo 1 was when a sentinal all of the sudden went berserk- he(it?) would go all vertical and spin around like a helicopter, for about 5 seconds. This happens alot on Two Betrayals and The Maw. It'll sometimes happen on 343 after a combat form melees it. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw this.

I hope there will be unusual behavior amongst NPC's in Halo 2...

No, technically the pistol is. Untechnically (I don't know what other word to use) the rocket launcher is. See the rocket launcher is the obvious n00b "Oh I have to get it then I will liek* own everybody!" When really it has a lot of downsides, whereas the pistol, the most overlooked weapon by n00bs has very little downsides.

*Intentional spelling error.

Al the Vykker 06-10-2004 07:22 AM

You can turn that off I believe right or was that just the auto center option under advanced settings. Oh well, I can't remember off the top of my head, I just know I never really had that problem.

Fez 06-11-2004 08:22 AM

Thanx Al, that worked, and helped.

The funniest thing thats happened to me? It has to be something with Grunts, they are just so damn funny. Maybe when i chased a single grint through almost an entire level, only for it to end up getting shot in a firefight.

Al the Vykker 06-11-2004 09:28 AM

Yeah one time a grunt killed my brother on legendary during a huge firefight when he had no shield left, and I was still alive, and I heard the grunt say "Can I have his helmet?" I really want to hear more of those little funny dialogue things Bungie threw into the game, some of them are so damn hilarious. And Im glad I could help! :fuzsmile:

Fez 06-11-2004 10:01 AM

Yeah, the Grunts had funny voices.

Bloody 60 second post thingy.

oddguy 06-11-2004 10:31 AM

I love the grunts! :D

Oh, a funny thing that happened to me in Halo...

After I got the Assualt Rifle, I went back to kill Captain Keys. :devil:

Anyway, I shot him, then Cortanna was like, "What the hell are you doing? Boys, I need a squad up here! The MC has gone rampid!"

Then an invincible force is summoned, and I'm locked up in the bridge.

-oddguy :cool:

Halo 2 Weekly Update

Funny! Nice stuffs also. Blood Gulch could be improved!

No you can't turn the auto aim. Not only does it auto aim on enemies, but I believe it also makes it harder to hit your allies.

Grunt w/out Mask
 
does anybody have the pic that shows the Grunt without his mask on? I can't find it anywhere...
apparently, a magazine with some Halo 2 info printed the pic.

From what I've heard, it looks really cool, the Grunts actually have sharp fangs and teeth under their masks.
This could be a possibility for Halo 2... Grunts without masks... on the Covie homeworld mabey?

anyway, if anyone has the mag, could u scan the pic? I would like to see it.
Sry, but I don't know which mag it is.

EDIT: the mag is XboxGamer

Fez 06-15-2004 07:08 AM

LOL! Grunts dont even have a mouth under the mask!

Grunt With No Mask

The original picture wont work, so heres a google search. Its the 4th picture on the top row. Ya cant miss it.

sligster 06-15-2004 09:06 AM

but thats an early concept art of the origional grunt. Xboxgamer printed the photo...

Heres an episode of one one se7en that kinda deplicts how they look... so the creator has apperantly seen it also...

Xavier 06-15-2004 09:46 AM

thx, Alphascrab. Found it. Those little buggers look creepy...
the pic is under the brute to the left...

Xavier 06-15-2004 10:01 AM

awesome scans,
the grunts without mask look ugly

Mojo 06-15-2004 11:49 AM

It does, doesn't it? I think a masked one looks better... I always think of Grunts as bi-pedal mice or rats

sligster 06-15-2004 08:43 PM

Heres a close-up....

Hobo 06-16-2004 05:58 AM
