You sure? I'm pretty sure I was dual-wielding SMGs earlier and thought they were much more accurate. You can't dual-wield neelders though, but one is WAAAAYYY too powerful anyway. Practically an instant kill. Some of the new stuff is cool and balanced, powerful yet slow and things like that. The demo isn't a huge deal but the fact that it's halo, well... that makes it amazing.

I think that it is okay. Not great loke many people thought it would be (I am not one of them), but not crap like some others thought (again, not me in there). I think that the game is average, and not just the Beta (OH! BLASPHEMY!!) My favorite weapon so far is hands down the Spiker. I have made a porcupine out of so many people so far. But, I have to admit, it is a little over-powered. I mean, if I can take some one down in a firefight where there is no cover, and I win when he had a Battle Rifle and I had just one Spiker, somethings got to be wrong. Either he was shooting the rock behind me or the Spiker is overpowered. And I watched the replay, he was hitting me, so that leaves one conclusion. Oh, great, I just screwed it all up now. Now people are going to read this post and say, "Hey, yeah the Spiker is overpowered. It's a...a...a...oh what do you call those things again, oh yeah! A noob gun. Oh my godzorz! Now I'm going to go online and anounce my discovery with great vengence and furious anger, and destroy those that oppose me! RARRGH!" (a little Pulp Fiction goodness in there) But any way, that's my oppinion, and if you don't like it, I reccomend that you remove your brain right about.........now (not meant as insult, just joke for those of you who don't know the difference).

haha "And I will strike down upon three with GREAT vengeance"... but the spiker isn't as ridiculous as the needler. What were they thinking? Instant kill

Yeah, needler is beefed up like whoa. But I imagine these are the kinds of thigns the beta is for... hopefully they realise this and adjust.

First... welcome back, man!

Second... yeah, I've heard the Halo 3 players at school talking the same kind of stuff about the needler. Other than that, I've heard nothing but promising things about the new Halo game.

Thanks, I hope my message got delivered to you and Mike.

On a lighter note... The maps are bigger, the guns are nicer, the graphics are solid, and the gameplay is still primarily fast paced. It should be a solid follow up, although it could be better.

I'll be making a video with Focus, so everyone can get a good look at it soon :)

Considering it is only a demo that has been played, I think the final build of the game should be even better than the demo.

Jon · 05-24-2007

the demos just as good as the game.. only downside is the limited maps. i love it though.. gets addictive..

I say that because I'm getting a Socom 2 - Socom 3 feeling about this. Bigger maps, slower movement... it's oddly familiar... :\

I can already see how people are going to abuse how easy it is to camp, an that's only on these three maps.
