But then theres the missle pod that is nice for fighting them or taking out the banshee then there's the rocket launcher which I have yet to find. its pretty nice. Then the power ups like the bubble shield and the trip mine and energy drain theres only one of each on a map and they take a little while to respawn so those aren't over used. The game has alot better balance to it now.

The cloak is pretty cool its like a ball with like a universe blown up inside is what it looks like and not that stupid little pyramid anymore.

I'm pretty sure the sword is indeed going to be in the final game.

Wait, is it that shooting game that was really big when Xbox came out?

Oh, you're actually serious! Wow.

Yeah, it was the big FPS game that launched the popularity of the Xbox system. Personally, along with the Wolfenstein 3D computer game, the series is probably my favorite FPS of all time.

I hope not. It was cool when it came out but everyone woudl try to get taht and then the battle was no longer even or about skill it was who had the sword.

If they come out with it they need to bring in the spartan knife to even it out.

[Mr. claw]

No they don't...and from what I've heard, the sword is much less powerful. Or, more specifically, its range is shorter. Now to use the sword, you have to be in very close quarters...

[smogan_hogan]

the spartan knife would be incredibly incredible hahaha it would be great fun run around like a nOOb hacking ppl with a knife hahahaha

[Mr. claw]

Or you could just throw grenades and forget about shooting, like half of the pansies on XBL.

No...it's Multiplayer.

Grenades were never meant to be abused like they are. Halo 3 will remedy this. There will be far fewer n00bz on XBL when Halo 3 comes out.....

Actually, there will be plenty of n00bz, but I have a feeling they won't last as long. I think it might be "too hard" for some folks.

explain..

[Mr. claw]

You can only hold 2 of each grenade. But there's 3 different types now.

I'm pretty sure you can hold 6 in the Beta, but I thik in the final game you can only hold 4 'nades....1 of each type.

[yelsew]

Great, that means less random nade kills from across the map.

[Mr. claw]

I confess that those were always fun. Especially on Beaver Creek- lob one or two behind the other base...."Double kill!"......"Heck yes!"

Most of the maps are bigger, too. They said they have one now that makes Containment look small.....you basically have to have a vehicle to get anywhere.
