In the first Halo, the pistol was a fantastic weapon due to its preternatural accuracy, even at long range, making it a combination sniper rifle / close-range blaster, but in Halo 2, itВ’s exclusively a weapon of last resort. It didnВ’t make a whole lot of sense to have one on the pistol in the first game, so this is an understandable move, but still, itВ’s something of a sea change. Halo players are probably going to be inconsolable when they hear this, but itВ’s our duty: thereВ’s no scope on the pistol. Although powerful, it wonВ’t be of much use against Elite shields, so keep another weapon handy to deal with those foes. When you can fire at enemies who arenВ’t aware of your presence, headshots become almost trivial, and it can be something of a sniper weapon if you can line up an enemy with the relatively weak zoom. It fires a short, three-shot burst with almost no recoil and great accuracy, and has a 2x scope, making it well-suited for zoomed firing against targets at medium range. The Battle Rifle is going to be one of your primary killing weapons in Halo 2. Dual-wielding is thus a great method for taking down tough individual targets, like Elites, but when you have to take out large groups of easier foes, like Grunts or Jackals, youВ’ll probably be better off sticking with a one-handed weapon and grenades.Д®ven when you can barely see your enemy, youВ’ll still know when you have one in your sights due to the red reticule. When you have a weapon in each hand, you can fire each individually with either of the trigger buttons, but youВ’re rendered incapable of throwing grenades. you can have a Plasma Rifle in one hand, and a Needler in the other. You can mix and match weapons, as well e.g. When you have a single weapon in your hand, you can pick up another and put it into your other hand, but only when both are capable of dual-wielding. The biggest new change here is the inclusion of dual-wielding. Halo wouldnВ’t be much of a game without some guns, now would it? As with most of the other features in Halo, many of the weapons in Halo 2 are direct repeats of the weapons in Halo, with a few new twists (no scope on the pistol!) and a few new additions.

Had they succeeded, they wouldВ’ve managed to end all life in the Milky Way, but it was Master Chief who managed to foil their plans, by destroying Halo.ДЄs Halo 2 opens, a new battle erupts, this one beginning with the appearance of a Covenant fleet above Earth itself. Released three years ago as a launch title for the Xbox, Halo told the story of the war between humanity and the Covenant, a collection of races bent on activating an ancient and powerful weapon, which came in the form of the massive ringworld called Halo, for the purpose of fulfilling a religious prophecy. In it, we have video games, one of which is Halo. If you need to be told what Halo is, well, welcome to the sunlit surface world hopefully you will find it comfortable after living in a cave for the past few years.
