Sorry but i'm p***ed off at Halo 2 littering the Xbox forum. So i'm making yet another one (sorry) which will be used for everything Halo 2 related such as:

Halo 2 Questions
Any Halo 2 Links
General Halo 2 chat
Your Opinions on the game
You can even set up Xbox Live games with people when the game hits the shelves (whooppee)

And I will post any and all current info on Halo 2

P.S. Please use this as the main HALO 2 TOPIC forum so hundreds of 'halo' thread don't clog up the, erm 'wonderful' Xbox forum

Danke

Yup, that's the SMG. It looks life a full rifle when used as a lone gun.

Ooh, can't remember if it had a scope or not, but I'm certain the default gun you get when you respawn (I'm assuming it's the Battle Rifle), is full-auto

Does it have a scope? If not, probably the SMG.

Nope. And another baffling thing - I read somewhere that ewhen zoomed in it fires single shots; but it still fires the 3 bullet bursts.

Yeah I knew about the tweak of the level. Doesn't it now take place during the day in Africa?

As for the battle rifle, I was under the impression you could change the fire rate to auto...

Can't you change the rate of fire to fully auto?

Oh, that E3 demo level? Well, they've tweaked it a lot.

Well, some of the "chunky" feel of the weapons have gone, such as the pistol and the plasma rifle. Flashlight only works for a short time, and picking up weapons for dual wielding during battles is a bit confusing and best avoided. I'm sure that'll be second nature soon enough.

I find dual wielding restrictive though, you can't even melee attack. Also, meleeing isn't as satisying as the first Halo.

Finally, the short bursts of the Battle rifle has taken the frantic pace out of gun fights, which isn't really my style.
