I'm going to take it that your not a hard core tournement player. I'm going to take it that your not in a clan. I'm going to take it that you never traveled to different campuses to participate in different college tournaments for the game. But as someone who has... please, when you state something make sure you know what your talking about. The battle rifle is not broken, it is not overpowered, what it is is barely used.

Dual wielding (pre-patch, i never played 1.1 as i walked away from the game forever after 5 months of play) is superior in every way.



You stopped playing after a few months, I didn't start playing after a few months.  Apparently I missed most of the 1.0 which frankly doesn't matter and shouldn't even come up in a debate about Halo2 well over a year after its release.  Don't complain and bitch to me about problems that have been fixed.  You say to be sure about what you are talking about and yet you haven't played the game for more then a few months, and haven't for well over a year.  The battle rifle has been overpowered for a long time now (especially with plasma pistol.)  They even have a gametype called slayer pro because the br is the "pro" weapon now.  You haven't played it for ages now and yet you somehow know everything.

A few posts after this one you complain about elitists yet during your entire post you look down on me constantly.  DON'T PRETEND TO BE THE HALO EXPERT IF YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED THE UPDATE.  You barely played the game so don't give me this tournament bullshit like it makes your opinion better then mine.  I am no expert but I have played the game recently and can judge the multiplayer on its merits beyond the first month it was released.

On a side note my biggest problem with Halo is the fans.  The arbiter was my favorite part of the second game yet it seems to regarded as the worst part by many.  They all loved having an overpowered pistol in Halo 1 that made most other weapons useless, while I actually wanted to pick up other weapons.  Unfortunately it seems like the parts that I thought were an improvement over the first Halo will be thrown out in the new one.

You are right sir, you must hate me cause i am a Halo 1 fan. I LOVE that pistol, and i've joined many tournaments with that pistol.

I did tournaments before leaving halo 2. BELIEVE ME, you may not have been around during its release, but a HELL of alot of us wanted that game and competitive play. There were tournaments assembled within 2 weeks of its release, so don't come here and call me on bullshit, you get your facts straight son. 4 months in and there were probably over 100 local tournaments, and maybe 2 or 3 well established ones. All had cash prizes. So please, call me on bull again, cause you don't know squat.

Maybe i'm dated, but i know some of my clan mates still play, and they pwn hard with sniper, and they pwn those nice little br and plasm pistol comboers. And they STILL pwn with dual pistols. Problem with plasma pistol switch to br is it requires the .5-1 second delay of plasma to travel and hit for that 0.3 second kill from the head shot with the br, so it's a .8-1.3 second kill total. Shotty sniper kills in .1 second for the head, and .5 for the double.

Your right, pro must have no plasma and rifle, cause the pros must clean house with sniper still, seeing as they didn't nerf the sniper.

Second, i know the patch wrecked the magnum, so i don't know how it holds up now, so your right, but i know the rifle at shotty range still pwns.

But i heard they fixed the rocket camping in a vehicle? thats news to me, why didn't you address that issue? Oh yeah thats right, they never fixed that.

Well I'm going to discuss the original topic here...

The idea of serious game trailers is fine.  I think the trailers were kind of cool (though I still don't feel the music from the GOW trailer fits that well with the action).  However, I also think the end of game trailers is nigh.  I mean, they'll still be around, but I think we're going to see more of a focus on gameplay in the future as a new generation of games renders plot and movies less-relevant.

Seen a lot of cinematic trailers for WoW?  Sims?  Nintendogs?  Brain Training?

Edit: Animal Crossing?  New Super Mario Bros?  Spore?  Wii Sports?

[Amodaus1]

the only WOW commercial i have seen is the one where they did office space, or ripped office space.

I didn't see much gameplay in that commercial, but then again, i didn't see much GAME in that commercial period.

Perhaps my idea that there will be a focus on gameplay is incorrect, but I think the focus on movies and graphics is going to be reduced.
