20 seconds of sheer beauty. I can't wait to use that SMG.

I don't have IGN Insider!

I did see some good Halo 2 Multi-Player Footage on techtv last night, so I'm cool...I guess. I just can't wait to play on Zanzibar!

I would love to play on Zanzibar, but unfortunatly, it was most likely just a "special" map intended only to play at E3.

Read This:

so sadly, no Zanzibar in final version

although there is hope...

oddguy · #**544** 05-23-2004, 06:27 PM

I took that as saying that Zanzibar might change a little bit before Nov. 9th. I didn't see anything that said Zanzibar wouldn't show up in the final game. You really freaked me out there for a second. How dare you! Grrr!

Frankie, their community relations guy, said they were expecting Zanzibar to become the next Blood Gulch, in terms of popularity. I think.

Decent.....

Fez · #**557** 06-06-2004, 08:47 AM

It has to have had the funniest Mister Chief yet.

New disscussion: The Battle Rifle or the Covie Carbine, which would be a better choice?

Hobo · #**558** 06-06-2004, 09:04 AM

um. As we know little about either I vote for the new needler. Yum.

Fez · #**559** 06-06-2004, 09:18 AM

Lol. I'm so looking forward to the SMg, its gonna kick ass. The latest update looked like it mentioned something about a new weapon returening from the first game, I hope that its the AR from Halo 1, that was such a cool gun.

Hobo · #**560** 06-07-2004, 05:19 AM

Nooo! I want..... A more pistol like pistol. With a v. fast Melee but less powerful shooting mode. Yes.

Fez · #**561** 06-07-2004, 07:07 AM

:

A more pistol like pistol.

What other pistols are there!!!!

*cough* Automatics *cough*

Why am I such a gun smartass?

Hobo · #**562** 06-07-2004, 07:22 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 · #**563** 06-07-2004, 02:28 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 · #**564** 06-07-2004, 11:55 PM

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 · #**565** 06-08-2004, 12:36 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 · #**566** 06-09-2004, 12:47 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 · #**567** 06-09-2004, 07:34 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 · #**568** 06-09-2004, 10:50 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...

Facsimile · #**569** 06-09-2004, 11:45 PM

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 · #**570** 06-10-2004, 06:22 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.
