i think i noticed something kinda big in one of the screenshots, it's the one right here http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/screens.html?page=6 5.( sorry i don't know how to lazy link) now that shows an mc fighting two elites and he has a plasma sword, in the background there's a huge plasma explosion going off. now a lot of people have asked what could cause that big of an explosion and i was stumped too for a while. then i remembered in th e3 2003 trailer than when that covie dropship gets knocked out of th sky it explodes in a big plasma explosion. so i was looking at this picture and i noticed there's something purple behind it, now pretty much everything covenant is purple so i looked at and realized it looks A LOT like the U-shape of the Halo 1 covie dropship. maybe there's dropships in muliplayer? this could be one that was shot down and is blowing up. maybe, or i could be wrong, but if i'm right this could be pretty good.

I think it's a ghost but it's hard to tell. I hope to god that it's a dropship, now that's traveling in style.

It's a flipped ghost from a plasma nade/ghost explosion with it's underside facing the screen.
Not that hard to tell.

No dropships in multiplayer...or possibly even in campaigm. I think the phantom is the new covie dropship...

What are you people talking about? It looks like a dropship to me, way too big to be a ghost.

EDIT: Never mind, I see it now...

first off the peurple thing in the pic is shaped totally different than ghost and its a little bigger which leads me to believe that it is most likely a banshee.
