May Game Informer,
"Stepping into the swirling energy beam lifts the player up like a strong air current. Not only is this a welcome change from the original Halo's ladders because it is easier to navigate, but it can also be used in combat. Unlike the ladders, which leave players vulnerable to attack, firing one's weapon is possible while riding the beam between floors. When used properly, the beam becomes and interesting and deadly combat tactic."
I think this means were also going to be able to chuck grenades into these things, and have them float up to the enemies above us. Also, Im sure our trusty ladders will still be there on all the Earth-based levels, while this new Energy Elevator will be in all the Covenant levels. I dont think we will need those warp gates much anymore seeing as we have the new boost feature on certain vehicles, or maybe they will keep those too. Hopefully their better though.
