So a few things need to be established as proven facts. The grav lift IS portable and deployable, evidence being that it exists in one instance of the map and not in another, and it wouldn't be something Bungie would allow to be turned on and off. Secondly, Frankie says we only saw 3 instances of equipment, which obviously implies that there are more. The turret IS detatchable from the warthog. The only dispute with that is whether one uses X for it or not. That raises the other dispute. Frankie says we saw three examples. If the turret IS included, then we saw the turret, grav lift, and shield. For the people that say they put some of it in the video on accident, that's absolutely retarded. The trip mine was flat out discussed, as was the shield, the clip of the turret was a timespan and focus such that ONLY the turret was focused on, and same with the grav lift, being that the camera and clip centered around the guy jumping straight onto the lift. The symbol some people are seeing on the left side of the HUD (0:53, 1:26) is the trip mine, obviously from 5:51. HERE is where speculation really comes into play, and where it is ultimately proven that the trip mine is NOT a grenade, which means the detatchable turret is NOT equipment used with X. At 5:01 and 5:29, the HUD indicates that the player has 0 spike grenades or 0 spike grenades and 0 plasmas, respectively. This means that if you have none of a certain type of grenade, the symbol is still there, which means there are only 3 types of grenades (thus far) and the trip mine IS equipment used with X, making the detatchable turret some other type of weapon used in some other way.
At 3:01, the yellow player clearly jumps and grabs onto the top of the fence before being shot. You can tell the difference between a live player and a dead one, and it isn't until after his hands grab on and his feet assume a climbing position (hands on top railing, elbows bent, one leg higher trying to reach over) that he is killed. This might be the "cool, context-sensitive" function for the B button that Frankie mentioned a while ago in an update.
At 6:16, anybody have a clue as to what the yellow balls being fired are? Brute Shot?
