Damn you really pay attention to this stuff. :cheers:

Very nice...a few new things were in there that even I didn't know about :D Like hitting "B" or melee if dual wielding...it will put your left gun down...or hit "Y" to switch to your other weapon (let's say you were carrying a Battle Rifle which is a two handed weapon).

Also, picking up a second weapon that is capable of dual wielding. Hit X to pick it up or Y to use it to dual wield with a current one handed weapon.

Right trigger for a Warthog's horn and left trigger for the new emergency brake! Nice!!

Good find, Zero :)

[ghost 009]

and you can only use the homing system on the rocket launcer if there is a vehicle

[JADE8704]

You think that means that you can dual-wield (say 2 smgs) and still switch to the battle rifle if you press y?

o yea...thanks for the heads up zero-flaw :)

When you switch to your Battle Rifle, you drop one of the SMG's.

You're welcome. ;)

wait you drop one of them? In the e3 video of 2003 I dont remember him dropping anything when he switched to it.

[E Nomini Patri]

That was 2003. This is 2004.

[themoosearmy]

Yeah, i was glad bungie stuck to their guns still only letting you carry 2 weapons at a time.

Also, I lvoe the new E brake idea! Maybe it will make my whips a bit easier.

[l Maximus l]

The E-Brake is going to PWN for sure... I mean, in the current Halo, when I play CTF at BG, I always whip the Warthog right in front of the opposing team's base so the driver's seat is right in front of the door...the new E-brake is going to add a nice new element to it :)

Yeah I either whip and launch myself right through the door and down the ramp, ready to rocket anyone who dares oppose me, or I whip myself up on top of the base. Equally surprising tactics, but with an E Brake (and a horn), tactics get a little crazier.

Now that I think about it, the horn sounded kinda little compared to the Warthog...makes it kinda funny, though :D

[DemonLoki]

Nice. This game sounds better all the time.


We have not made a final decision regarding bots yet. The team has heard the cries of fans and we're exploring ways to make multiplayer games more enjoyable for gamers with only 2 controllers and no Live access.

Yeah right! Who doesnt have 4 controllers? They mean 4 controllers, no friends. :cry:

[l Maximus l]

My guess is that Bungie will save the option for bots until everything is said and done. If they have time, perhaps they'll incorporate them...if they don't have time, they'll leave them out. Just a guess...

Either way, I can personally care less if they have bots or not...I'll be on XBL every waking hour and when I'm not at work :D

[BunnyRabbit]

I <3 ZeroFlaw-XBA :hump:

LoLz.. Thanks dude.. Loved the read. Got to read a few things I hadnt known were rumor or not.. Im so omogmgomgomgomgom..Psyched. =D

[LTM360]

Love how if the host leaves, it just goes to another player and the game stays in session, great work Bungie! I personally thought that would be impossible.

It makes you want to destroy it. Muahaha. I am going to have fun with this.

[ShannonX]

hell, if i didn't have broadband, i'd litteraly move to a new location that does have broadband. i will NEVER go back to dialup.

All I'm getting is this when I click on the link, but I went to it manualy through BNet and it worked. Weird.

Anyway, awsome stuff there. Still, I'd love to see a straight answer in there about the bots situation.

[Unknown111111]

i just read the faq and I really cant get over how good this game is gonna be!
The vehicles are destructable in multiplayer but are they gonna be permanantly destroyed if someone destroys em?

[E Nomini Patri]

Vehicles respawn like in Halo PC. You can choose how long to wait until vehicles come back good as new. Welcome to XBA, your sig is TOO BIG! :)

Hey by the way, what are the differences with the pc version of halo? are there extra missions?

[E Nomini Patri]

The Single Player game is the same (except for the Flamethrower present in level 7, The Library). The Multiplayer has 6 more maps (all compatible with vehicles) as well as 2 new weapons (Fuel Rod Gun and Flamethrower) and a new vehicle, the Rocket Warthog. The settings are more robust, and the experience is heightened by having the ability to use a mouse and a keyboard. :)

Buy it. If your PC can handle it.

[Arcane]

Zeroflaw Thanks for the info man i really apreciate it. Keep it up.

[E Nomini Patri]

Anytime Jess! If you got a question you know who to ask. ;)

[SoundX]

I have the PC version, it's pritty awsome. But in my opinion the extra weapons kind of unbalance everything. And the extra maps are no way near as well mapped out as the originals made by Bungie.

Still that map maker is out now, so I'm hopeing to see some good ones from some fans :)

New Mombasa Classic...
