More Detailed Halo2 Information

[GHL]

YES i KNOW that it looks like the old e3 2004 vid, but it is actually someome new playing, not just new commentary, wait till he starts running about ect, its a totally new vid


here is some more info i have picked up from a new and mostly unseen around here video,
some of it you know about so this backs all the stuff up.
The SMG *has* zoom/scope and the blurry border thing is now gone, the area around the zoomed bit is now black.
the SMG's zoomed area is shaped like this:
like a hexagon (or the other one, lol i hate shapes, err 6 sided, but the bottom is flat though so its an irregular -something-gon)


boost IS left trigger for ghost

left trigger= the combos with the energy sword, right trigger is the lunge

zanzibar's base has only 2 turrets

other than access to the energy sword the bridge to the windmill middle lets you go quickly to the upper level of the base.

while boosing noone can hijack your vehicle

X is to hijack

say i shot your TOTALLY wing off when ur in the ghost, it would jolt you in the opposite direction a bit

the grenade explosion is now more orange but that may have been the bad vid and particles are more packed together but still go as high

X is to swap weapon (when holding one) Y is to dual wield with that weapon.

cant throw nades while dual wielding although
if you melee attack while dual wielding then you drop the last weapon you picked up

smg's are not very effective against hogs.

Nice info...but if the SMG has "zoom", where's the scope?

And I can provide some weapons stats-BR and SMG clip capacity and caliber:

BR clip: 40 9.6mm bullets
(Written on the BR's right side is "9.6mm x40". There has been great debate over this, but if it really was referring to bullet size it would most likely be "9.6 x40mm".)

SMG clip: 23 5mm caseless bullets
(Same as above; also on the renders you can count the bullets right through the transparent box.)

Also some other miscellaneous info (on both Halo and Halo 2)

-Seraphs can't fly in atmosphere, read the novels. There were Seraphs chasing a Pelican, but they had to turn back before they hit the atmosphere or they would crash, out of control.

-Pelicans now have a chin-mounted chaingun, and a door-mounted chaingun similar to a Hog's

-Brutes are left-handed, like Jackals

-You can activate/deactivate energy swords just like lightsabers

-Sword Elites OWN ( )
You seen that 3d screenshot? 3 kills in one swing. Nice.

Seraphs? You mean more flying vehicles? w00t!! I hope they go faster than the banshees do. I know that you can boost, but when you boost you can't fire, so you still can't dive bomb ppl without getting shot and most likely, killed.

[HunterXI]

wow, that is either:

1. an INCREDIBLY slow server, or
2. they should stop hosting thru ftp *smack*

I shall comment on the quality of the vid once I get thru the antagonizing process of buffering...

[Master-Chief]

Seraphs do go much faster than shees because it needs to be fast in space. They are either not as good as a Longsword or the eqivilent of one. Dont know if it will be piloted but it will be seen only on space levels.
