wow, that'll be a useful gun... a fast firing carbine with a melee tool on the front. that'll be one of my favourite weapons.

edit: it actually seems to be more of an SMG, but you could rip off their shield with the plasma bullets, then just finish them off with the spikes...

I'm pretty positive it will dissapoint quite a few, because they are expecting more than "just a videogame", even if it's the best game ever, they will say how much better halo 1 or 2 were, because it shows how hardcore they are.

anyway (talk about offtopic) those guns look pretty badass, hope they come up with some more new cool weapons.

I think having a large veriaty of weapons only add to the overall gameplay, having just 4 or 5 gets boring.

It really does look like they're going to bring melee attacks more into it though, I haven't playd halo 2 yet, but in halo i'd just run and shoot as much as I can. No real melee attacks in that.

I'm a firm believer in that Halo 1 was a better game than Halo 2.

With that in mind, I'm hoping Halo 3 won't be any worse than Halo 2. I'll be satisfied if it isn't.

Halo 2 is fun - they added a lot of **** that needed to be in Halo 1. But still. I'm partial, and "being hardcore" has nothing to do with it.

Me and my friends play Halo 2 almost every day in the dorms here and I find that melee'ing can make the difference between living and dying in the heat of a close-range battle :yes:
