They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Halo 2 – The Beginning
First impression? Wow.
Just, Wow.
The only thing I can see that holds it back, is the inability of the texture renderer to keep up with the cutscenes. That’s annoying, and, really, it *should* be better than that. If it was my project, I wouldn’t have released because, well, the public deserve better than that.
That aside, the 3-round burst of the rifle irritated me at first, then I realised it packed a heavier punch in 3 rounds than the old rifle did in 30, so that made up for it.
Dual Wielding is a bit trickier than I thought it might be. Thinking ambidextrously it tough, so I suggest keeping the weapons the same. Mixing a plasma pistol and a human pistol doesn’t really work, cos they fire differently, if you get what I mean.
The inability to holster one of the weapons is also irritating, the only way to swap out of pistols akimbo is to drop one, then swap to the rifle.
But you can have 2 plasma rifles, and that’s kinda cool.
Level one on easy is finished, just made planetfall, so I’ll get back to it tonight.
