All the weapons but the rocket launcher are hitscan, and the pistol is one shot kill from the neck up. I played this at E3, and I was SOOO disappointed. That and the fact that Co-op is removed from the PC port. It's just not PC friendly. The whole game was catered to the Xbox and they are keeping it that way on the PC. The movement doesn't fit, the weapons don't fit, there is hardly any new content (a warthog with a rocket launcher and two new maps is all) and without co-op, IMO, it is a complete waste. _________________ Poke!

ALONG WITH maps that people create in the editor, and mod's that people make. _________________ nevaR ask Raven Because he nevaR knows!
