the new update for h2, it apears to have the following things: br bullets have less spread, making it more accurate, grenades explode faster so that theres less chance of it bouncing way up in the air and exploding when u throw it, melees are stronger,BUT, the magnum is even weaker, is is really true that the magnum is weaker :?:

The plasmas are much stronger... you get a nade in front of you with full shields and you can say good bye, plus one stuck to you even with overshields will. Is the lunge distance increased? I never noticed, Im not a sword whore >_>

Excuse me??? they increased the lung range did i hear that correctly. then it has more range than the shotgun im gonna play that right now!!! ok 6 minutes later i just tried the lunge goes farther what a stupid update, it went far enough as it is,ppl had been complaining it was too much already, and the magnum is weak, 7 headshots and sometimes over a clip to kill someone if u do body shots. some of that content on halo2sucks.com is starting to make sense :( at least they made the grenades better, and the melees better, just make the sword and magnum the way they were before and it would be fine

They took down magnum strength to "emphasize head-shots" but do you agree that they should no longer call it the Magnum?

I think they're trying to match the Magnum ice-creams.

Anyway, melees stronger is good stuff, along with the grenades. The BR starting weapon = bad.

some of that content really digs out those thoughts i have deep in the back of my mind.....I read every single complaint on that website just cause i had nothing else to do and some of it makes sense, the sniper does actually auto aim, i payed attention

i guess bungie really hates the fact that ppl would get owned by the pistol in halo 1. now its a full clip to kill someone with body shots,7 in the head or 6. btw has this update affected campain and mp or just mp?

Well if they hated that, why didnt they take down the damage in one of the PC updates? Im not sure what they want to accomplish by making the magnum the shittiest weapon in the history of halo :?

the magnum isnt really shitty, it actually hasnt changed in campain, just mp. and btw hasnt anyone noticed that the sniper is easier to aim with?
