My fingers have NEVER ached from playing any video games using the xbox controller no matter how many hours i put into it... my eyes give way before my fingers ever do... hahah... anyways ign has done a hands on article of Halo 2's multiplayer and i must say... if this game were a girl... i'd marry it... as weird as that may sound but the article says that there will be new lock on features with some of the weapons such as the rocket launcher can somewhat home in on targets if the aiming reticle is locked on the target long enough AND you will now be able to use the convinent plasma sword or whatever it was called and lunge at opponents up to 15 feet away from you for an instant kill.... other new features are the ability to select a covenant elite instead of master chief clone for the multiplayer but there r no differences between the two except for looks... vehicles are now destructible meaning u can shoot out the tires or the warthogs or just blow it to smitherines... the environments are now destructible as well ala red faction if anyone has played that fun FPS game.... you can also hi-jack any vehicle driven by the enemy so long as it is goin slow enough but they can do the same right back to you if you dont get away fast enough... the new maps give rise to almost an infinite amount of strategies to apply... and i think they might have taken away powerups such as camo and heavy sheild which i think is great cause then you would just have to rely on pure skill alone... also duel weapon weilding is a new feature allowing you to shoot one gun with the left trigger as well as the other gun with the right trigger although firing both at the same time will have a huge kick back that your aim will fly upwards as soon as you do this meaning you would need to aim at the enemies feet to start the attack but theyll be dead by the time you reach their head... also great about this feature is that you dont have to shoot them at the same time... thats what the two trigger contol is for... you also cant throw any grenades while weilding duel guns but you can set aside one of the guns whenever you please just by pressing Y button... there will be customizable symbols to place on the head of your character for any of you clan members... theres just soooo many things that you can do in this game that makes me drool all over this computer as we speak...theres more but i cant think of any right now... if you have any questions just post them or go to ign and take a ganders at the article and short movie clip that they got there...
