Umm...it takes me like, 30 seconds?

Get a scarab / loads of tanks?
Or some spartans?
Or use the grenades of the regular soldiers?
Or the Y attack of the tanks?

I think Halo's weapon limit works well. Which weapons you carry is a strategic choice - you can't just reach into your hyperspace arsenal to pull out whatever you need.
To be honest even when I do have a hyperspace arsenal I still only use 1 or 2 guns so a 2 gun limit isn't exactly anything bad and it's not as if you can't pick up guns which have been dropped.

I think the 2 weapon thing actually helps to weed out stupid people (because we all know Halo is filled with them)
If someone is running around with only a shotgun and a sword, I'm like :D :D easy BR target

probably going to get murdered for saying this, but halo is just too old now and has been overtaken by many great games - some of those are on the xbox, some aren't. It was a good game, Halo being the best one of the series (that's Halo 1 for those that don't know what i'm talking about). but now i think it has fallen sufferer to the console demands and is now falling to far behind. if they bring out a Halo 4 - which i doubt - that will just be the death warrent for what was a good series. But halo wars - god - it is too much like command and conquer 3, and in my opinion CC3 is so much better, whether it be on the PC or xbox. but that's just my opinion.

I think Halo is quite good, but I have never played Halo 2 and 3.
