such as the ATV: the human answer to the covenant ghost. had foreward mounted machine guns. was all textured and modelled. was removed because it was to much like a real ATV: too fast and dangerous.
also, how can you say they didnt add any guns? they added tons of new weapons, and even revamped the older ones so they are completely different. they added: the carbine, brute shot, plasma sword, battle rifle, SMG, fuel rod cannon, brute plasma rifle(technically it's a new weapon)
they reworked: plasma pistol, plasma rifle, sniper rifle, Needler, pistol, rocket launcher, and shotgun..
the tank is completely different. it fires faster but does less splash damage. and is slower.
the warthog's controller looser, and need to emergency brake to tail swing now, and make tight turns.
the ghost moves slower but does 3 times as much damage, and the boost is awsome.
the banshee doesnt hover, or have the fuel rod cannon, but is still cool.
also, like in the hog, when damaged, the controlls become looser, and becomes hard to turn.
thats cute how you think the fuel rod cannon was 'added'.. and no I dont go to bungie.net because I dont really care about the updates they make fans starve for for weeks on end, but I do enjoy the artwork they post there every so often... shotgun was not reworked.. sniper rifle is the same damn thing.. just the model changed, plasma pistol was reworked to suck along with the plasma rifle (they used to stun making them awesome, but not so anymore)..and you call removing the scope from the pistol reworking it? lol... needler got a lil better.. rocket launcher has been noobified to satisfy whiners. brute plasma rifle im not even discussing because thats single player exclusive
the vehicle adjustments i agree with, but the vehicular damage doesnt affect controls terribly like it should.. especially when the engine is on fire and you got 4missing hubcaps and a banged up shell.
rofl @ ATV acting too much like an ATV.. yeah.. thats a real reason to remove a vehicle from conceptual stages.

they so did change the shotgun and sniper rifle.
the shotgun does jack shit at medium range, and the sniper rifle fires slower and the wake that appeared in the first one after firing is almost gone.
the rocket launcher travels twice as fast, and locks on, what are you complaining about.
and you can use the brute plasma rifle in multi player. its in the covenant weapon type and can be chosen as a starter weapon.
and since it wasnt in the first game it kinda was "added".
i mean, unless your one of the many idiots who bought halo on the pc(no offense to anyone else..it just had such bad frame rate), it's "cute that it's "added"..".
besides, it's completely different from the pc ver.
and pistols do have capping power. it just takes more skill. noob.
no Im not stupid.. I dont buy half assed rehashes (pc halo) and the fuel rod comment was because it was in the first game even (xbox, grunts used it) , so I didnt give a hell if it was in halo2.
and I dont know what you're babbling about capping power noob, because the only thing they changed was the scoping.. and Ive never witnessed a medium range shotgun fight in halo1.. thats just retarded.
and I wasnt trying to sound like an ass.. I was just returning the attitude you gave me in your reply. Guess it sucks to lay where you take a dump eh?
as for rockets, I wasnt complaining about anything I just stated that they noobified it with that stupid lockon (which is , last time I checked.. a fact)
the wake on the sniper rifle is still there long enough for someone to find me and snipe me back, although I dont know about the fire rate.. I stopped using the human sniper in favor of the beam rifle.. I'll have to try the brute plasma rifle thing though, sounds interesting.
I have Halo on PC...it came with about 5 other games when I got my graphics card.
Anyone that has actually PLAYED the game knows better than to call it a "half-ass rehash"
Halo on PC thoroughly stomps Halo on X-box.
The graphics are better, there are new weapons and vehicles, and the obvious niceness of having a mouse and keyboard for a FPS tilts the scales in the PC versions favor.
The only problem is how poorly it was coded. Unlike on X-box, the PC version sucks up comp resources like crazy causing it to be laggy and jumpy if your computer isn't up to par with a system that can run Doom 3 or HL 2.

another sad retort..
"Poorly coded" = crappy = half-assed rehash
wow that was some kind of equation for the mentally challenged abound
this is like the E = Mc squared for noobs lol.. abide by it wisely and ye shall not be ripped off

Satsujin, you're so pessimistic about this subject, why don't you just post some thread called "Who else hates Halo 2?". Otherwise, quit bugging us about how much it sucks compared to Half-Life 2, and such.
Now theres an idea.... Nope, actually I love Halo 2, HL2 was second in the "Most Wanted FPS 2004". 😄
