I have an issue of GMR magazine right here next to me, Issue 13: The Bloody Issue, Feb. 2004. It has Darkwatch on the cover. But the point is, it has a one page article on Halo 2, the end of this article is about the multi-player aspect of the game. It says,

" This time around, players can opt to reprent the Covenent forces or humans, which brings some outrageous possibilities into play. One Covenent unit is reportedly able to scale walls, ape style. Imagine launching rockets while hanging from a cliff while using a cloaking device. If your pants aren't wet after reading this, than you'd better check your pulse. "

I was just wondering if anyone knows anything more about this, because I sure as hell would like to know more.

God alot of these gamer mags are making stuff up just to sell ok it is true covies can climb walls but not in MP elites and spartans are the only things in MP and they are exactly the same except for looks and the elites do everything the spartans can do in MP not vice versa ie no climbing walls or reloading plasma weapons.

welllll...WAY back, in a very old issue of EGM, they mention a covenant able to scale walls...but not in multiplayer. i doubt this is true (for multiplayer), unless there is someway to balance it. besides, i hate GMR...almost as much as i hate GI.

EDIT: and by WAY back, i mean like a year and a half ago, in like the first ever (EGM) preview of halo 2 (u know...the one with the awesome cover).

Right, I'm not saying i believe it, it was just a little odd to me. Also, it is an old issue. Could have been anything, Thanks for the reply.
