A few things i wanted to know about Halo 2 from the E3 demo

* Are we going to be able to fly a Longsword?

* Are we going to be able to use those scope things you see the guy on the ground before you land use?

* When a marine said "No Tags" by the medic station, what do you think is its signifcance

* What is the covie thing that fires those big plasma bombs at 2:52.. is that a wraith?

* At 4:33 i noticed that not one of the grunts or jackels died after a marine threw in a grenade... could it have been one of those new grenades thats going to be in the game?


Just some things I thought about when i was watching the demo again..

we might not get to fly the longsword but i think we will be able to fly the pelican.
also when he said "no tagss' he ment the guy had no dog tags which were probably shot off or ripped off

Nope
When a marine said "No Tags" by the medic station, what do you think is its signifcance
Dunno
What is the covie thing that fires those big plasma bombs at 2:52.. is that a wraith?
No its not a wraith its a covenant stationary tower thing.....
At 4:33 i noticed that not one of the grunts or jackels died after a marine threw in a grenade... could it have been one of those new grenades thats going to be in the game?
No, its not a flashbang, it is a frag, the marine yells "frag and clear". Bungie said that if your not directly in the death radius but you ARE close, then your stunned (the enemies are at least)

You cannot fly the pelican in halo2, its been discussed many times I believe and the bottom line is no.

Well, I think the covenant stole it.
The covenant are probably looking for something on Earth, thats why they deployed the ground troops instead of just glassing it completely.
They probably stole it because they're searching for something and are willing to search for clues of locations.
Just an idea of why the tag might be missing...

thats a good idea... maybe... and when you say searching for something... do you think maybe like the artifact on Sigma O and Reach?

I am just wondering about that grenade that people think is a flash bang. I didnt see any dead bodies after the grenade was thrown, and in Halo 1, if u had of chucked that grenade in that place where the covies were, it was such a small space that they would all die no matter what, atleast they would in Halo 1, can someone explain that?

Errrr...no....I'm just wondering why the covenant dont just drop nukes from orbit instead of going down to the surface.

Canadian: Are you serious? Read about 3-4 posts above you. Ash55's.
Ash55: It's because they're looking for artifacts of the Forerunner. It's in the books, when instead of just glassing Reach, and Sigma Octanus, they go down and get rock samples that have these symbols on them. (Forerunner language?) It's one of the questions I'm awaiting Halo 2 to answer.

the covenant could be taking the dog tags as trophies, they are very proud of killing humans

shishka said that it wasn't a flash bang. i think someone has the quote where he said that in his sig.

first of all, covenants don't have nukes (i think),
second, if they would destroy earth right away then halo 2 would end after one level.

There are a couple versions of the 2003 demo... in one of the run throughs that frag actually does kill most of the covenant back there.

The "zoom thing" the guy uses is NOT a battle rifle, it is a monocular. And YES, I have seen it in use! Download the shakey-cam version of the e3 2k4 demo narrated by SketchFactor (not CJ) and you see him actually use it first person, it is so tight!

It is not a wraith, wraiths's were in halo 1, you remember the covie tanks? What you witnessed in the E3 demo was a Phantom.

I think that's a sniper rifle. I know one of those two guys was using a sniper rifle, but I think the other guy was using some kind of telescope...
