Hey, Have you guys heared anything about Halo 2's weapons being down-graded. I heard the Pistol and the rocket launcher took the biggest down-grade what did you guys hear?
The pistol now has no zoom, so getting headshots might be tougher. I also think it deals less damage. But it can detonate a fusion core with one shot (less than some other weapons, like the battle rifle) and can be dual-wielded, either with another pistol or some other weapon.
the pistol is now called the magnum, and it deals less damage but shoots ALOT faster. the rocket launcher is exactly the same but now has a lock on ability, so u can lock on to vehicals. there is no more assualt rifle, they turned it into a battle rifle that has a 3 round burst with a zoom. if a gun dosent have a zoom, u can still zoom in but with no cross hairs and u cant shoot in the zoom, its just so u can see furhter.
The weapons only were downgraded because they were too powerful. Having two full power pistols in your hands in Halo 2 is too much. Especially with all the new weapons, the game would have been easy, even for rookie players. So Bungies decision was a wise one.
I've been playing and messing around with the weapons and came to the conclusion that the pistol didn't change that much in power, its just the zoom and a slight decrease in accuracy.
i've played and beaten halo 2 in about 12 hours and in the end they've left the most ovious space for halo 3, I kinda felt that they could of left us with alittle more to hold onto but the single strand of string that they did leave us with. anyone else have anything to say about that?
I did it in less than 8 hours, I totally agree with you. I was so happy playing it. Then to end it like that made me feel it was lacking something. I feel kind of cheated.
Yea they did get down graded and it sucks i used to love using the pistol and now i can barely kill a fly. The rocket launcher lost power 2 but i gained seeking rockets.
at the end of halo 2 leaving that big gap for the obvious 3rd game 2 complete the trilogy is there but whether or not bungie studios will pursue it or not is a question we will not know for at least another year.
Not only the game just ending as it did. Then you have the part at the end of the credits showing Cortana, and that plant thing talking. So we not only need an ending to the game, but there are many questions left unanswered.
Yea I beat it and then there was 10 more rings and he was going back to earth and then it went to credits watz up with that is there going to be a Halo 3 there better be or that was a really crappy ending
In campaign mode, and in multiplayer prior to the 1.1 AutoUpdate, yes, grenades were not as powerful as in Halo 1. They have received an upgrade in the 1.1 auto update.
k i didn't hear anything aboput weapons being downgraded but it is tru that the pistol sucks but i think the rocket improved by the lokin capability but in halo 1 u could kill a hunter with in=one missile but now u need two missiles. also the smg and battle rifles by me r a great disapointmen because i hate semi atomatic rifles and guns that shake around when u fire them the smg and rifles suck but the sword and carbine rule!!!!!!!!!!
i beat a brute with 5 shots on the head with a carbine in legendary!!!!!!!!!!!

Rocket Launcher
In reply to: rocket launcherIt now has a small chasing ability. It wont chase you forever but it will be directed in your direction, so I suggest to be quick.

rocket launcher zoom
In reply to: the piston no longer zooms, bAccording to the manual, the M19 SSM offers 2x zoom, as in Halo 1, rather than the 2x and 5x zoom as in PC Halo.

I think so. It's just a question of whether the gametype, map and options support it.
