I like how bungie puts history and facts to the things they did in the previous games.....
It obvious they didnt want us to use the fuel rod in Halo CE's campaign, and now that we can use t they come up with the dead man's switch thing. It more looked like the green thing cracked from the fall.
Ah good ole Halo.

Why are all the marines made out to be supreme red necks? Every comment you read there is at least one guy that sounds like a complete moron (more in some comments than others)

"bee are's"

It's not so much that it bothers me, I'm just asking why?

youre right!! LOL!

But when you think of it, the people who tend to be err......... less on the moron side dont end up in the millitary, they end up in medicine, jail or politics.........hmm kind of messed up my point there! Some smarter comments please

Slight Spoiler; did Bungie goof? Elite-USNC team up?

“Maybe with the Elites on our side we’ll finally find out how to reload or recharge these weapons or whatever… I have a feeling we shouldn’t start holding our breath any time soon though.”

"Foxtrot" is actually a code word for the letter F in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. The UNSC always seems to use it for certain things, and in this case it is a way of covering up swear words. Also, "Mike" is another code word. So, a Mike Foxtrot is a "M... F..." Catch my meaning?

They also type things like "bee are" as a way of showing spoken letters. It's for the most part a speech recognition thing, and is done a lot in war novels, etc.

1st page packed with more spam than a plasma rifle can shoot. Good stuff! Now we know how to deal with the rest of the covenant - just upload a virus that changes the carbine bullet counter to human numbers. Or hieroglyphics.

Oh, and at some time the 7ru7h will all come out. Until then, we have to put up with the T-17days, 8 hours, 17 minutes countdown *GROAN*. Awesome when it comes.

No. It's possible you'll fight some fringe group of Elites, and that would add a pretty good twist, or better yet the Arbiter betrayes ya.

On top of that, we have seen that the Hunters are an enemy in at least ONE fight. So, we could still be fighting every single Covenant race. But we'll see about the Elites. It's kinda cool to know that it IS a fleet-wide side change, considering the actions of the Elites in 'Ghosts of Onyx'.

I noticed one slight inconsistency that no one seems to have picked up on so far: The Plasma Rifle is listed as having 400 shots/battery, while the Plasma Pistol is listed as having only 200 shots/battery. When I first read that about the Plasma Rifle, I was thinking, "No way, 400 shots for the Plasma Rifle?!? Where do I get one of these?" Then I read the Plasma Pistol page and was surprised to find such a low number for its shot capacity. I'm guessing that someone at Bungie just accidentally switched the two numbers. However, it would be nice if this could be fixed (or confirmed, if it is indeed true).
