I'm new to the forums, so pardon me if I ask something that has been answered already.

1. How detailed can you get when customising the color scheme's on the Master Chief and the Elites for multiplayer?

2. Is it true that you can use the Plasma Shield in Multiplayer and if so, do you think it would be possible to dual wield a Plasma Sword and Shield?

3. Is there an answer to the Banshee for the Human side of vehicles this time around?

Thanks for any help you folks can give.

i'm not sure how detailed the coloring is but i think it is you pick a color for your armor,a secondary color and you add some emblems. I don't think you can use the Plasme shield at all. I have heard rumors though. I also don't think the Plasma sword is dual-wieldable. I hope there is a human jet. Maybe with vertical take-off like the pelican but smaller.

1.) I think you'll just get to choose from an already made list (for the emblems) just so no one makes any hateful insignias, as far as colrs go, i THINK that you can make all diff. parts of your armor diff. colors. I THINK.

2.)I highly doubt it, although the combo would be uber tight, its just oo good of a defense/offense

3.)Bungie says there might some kind of human banshee type thing, but i done know personally

1. Not known yet, but from what we can see, it's just the basic color along with the stripes on the head, arms, and thighs

2. Nothing has ever been mentioned about the Plasma Shield - you're referring to the Jackal's one right? Second part: not known either, but it's all but confirmed that the Plasma - or Energy, as it's called - Sword is a two-handed weapon

3. Not known

1: you can customize your priamry color (about 95% or our armor) then a secondary color on your forearms. then you can also have a logo on our shoulders and back.

2: we don't know

3: see #2

About the plasma sword, what would be the point of duel weilding it aside from looking awesome if it kills some one in one hit anyways? ... It does kill people in one hit, right...?

I'm not so sure if the sword is a one hit kill weapon or not. It does have the ability to combo, that I know for sure. That is either for a group of enemies, to prevent missing, or to handle overshields, or because it is not a one hit kill.

I am so hoping that they let you color individual parts of your armor. I have an idea for my Elite character's color scheme that depends on it, lol.

The sword can do the thrust once you lock on to the player and then it's a one hit kill. You can also do the regular (powerful probably) swinging action.

I just heard that you can do colors and emblems.

No clue on the human banshee thing, but would be neat to see something cool :)
