Welcome to Gaia! ::

name wich ideas u liked and didnt like when they made halo and halo2 like pistol goes to magnum and ar to br wne whatever.

i agree with you but the pistol to magnum thing was pretty cool cuz then where would the game variant called gangsta wars eb at without magnums all it is swat 4 teams of 4 each and u play with only magnums liek swat so fun.

My vote goes to the sniper.
It stayed the same, and I like that. I was good with it in CE, and that didn't change like most the other weapons did. 3nodding

ya i was gonna say it still is pretty much the same scope zoom but anyway this topic needs more posts geez.

The thing that changed greatly about the sniper is the reload. Originally chief would lift up that thingy after reloading the sniper, taking an additional 4 seconds to reload, this made it hard for snipers to snipe the opposing sniper without first getting sniped themselves. Also, you would have to aim at someone ahead of where they are running so the bullet would hit them, while as in Halo 2, you just snipe where someone's head is while they're running and it hits them. It took me so long to adjust to that, you have no idea how many times I missed trying to aim ahead of them so the bullet would hit them.

Anyway, I myself prefer the AR over the BR. I mean, sure, the AR had less accuracy in Halo CE, but what didn't? The tank aim REALLY sucked with the machine gun built in, but that got better! So who's to say that the AR, if in Halo 3, won't have better aim?

Yeah, definately prefer the AR.

But of the votes on the topic, I chose the rocket launcher. I like the fact that in Halo CE, if you shoot something with a rocket launcher, it doesn't exactly blow up, it just flies around, but I LOVE the fact that in Halo 2, you can lock on to enemy units and take them out before they get to your base and A) Arm the bomb. B) Get the flag. C) Take control of your territory, etc.

Yeah my favorite updates were the improved accuracy on the sniper rifle in Halo 2 and the lock-on rockets. See, I play Halo 1 on PC and before I got Halo 2 I did crappy with both weapons being as I couldn't hit anything, my rockets never got there before the enemy got away and my sniper shots would always be off when I went to shoot. Now I play and I suck even more since I'm used to Halo 2's system.

I do miss the strong pistol with the scope. Sure, it was a whore-weapon at the time but it beats out that crappy magnum on h2.

Well in Halo PC you could and still can kill a fully-shielded person with at most a whole clip on your magnum, or maybe a bxr-esque melee and shoot. Try doing that on a fully shielded spartan on Coag and see what I mean
