alright, most of us have seen the 20 second video of h2 multiplayer action, you know, the one that starts out with a player jumping over another then jumping to the ground to take on some ghosts... pant... anyway, a red spartan on a ghost just gets kicked off by a blue elite-now- in that 'second or two', look at the action in the background, there is a player under fire with his shields blazing. when his shield-flare dies down, a fast, white-hot 'lazer' type shot is fired into the air (towards your upper right). i have watched it over and over again and i don't recognize it. i believe it is the covie carbine. tell me your thoughts.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Your theory would be credible if not for that fact that many people played the demo and none of them mention anything about a new weapon.

it is a theory that it's a covie carbine... it is not a theory that it is a new weapon. i saw it plain as day, right there- and i've never seen (or heard) that weapon before. check it out for yourself. what's the 'S2 AM'? and..... is it possible that some players had to promise not to give all the information out of what they played? i'm sure some who have played promised something like that, if not signed something. i think i've even read something from ign or somewhere where they talked about their mp experience, but couldn't divulge everything. i will try and remember where i read that and post a link- anyway, my point is, i saw and heard a new weapon.

i considered that it would be a sniper rifle, but i doubt a player would have that weapon out and in use while in the predicament he was getting into at the time.

I'm extremely doubting any new weapons, vehicles, sprinting/flashlight or anything that we don't know was in the demo at E3 this year.

to needzabettersn... yes, i actually had considered he was getting hit by a covie sniper rifle.. but i've watched it many times, and as fast as the beam is, it still looks like it is firing 'away' from the blue covie that went down. it also looked like the beam was near where the downed player's weapon would be at torso-level.

idk...the tracer isn't looking too much like a sniper rifle. it's not as thin and fast-moving. idk, it could be a new gun, i'm being optimistic cause i hope so:)

I read somewhere i think IGN or Teamxbox that when they played Zan the Elites start with the Covenant Carbine and the plasma rifle
and the chiefs start with the Battle rifle and smg

i think gunslinger is confused, every time someone says sniper he thinks we mean covie carbine when we mean the human sniper, the covie carbine wasnt mentioned to be in the e3 demo

every time someone says 'sniper', i'm thinking you guys are talking about the new, covie sniper (which i believe that just 'may' be that new weapon there, but not entirely because of the firefight he was in)- NOT the human sniper... there's a white, fast beam of light w/ a lazer-type noise... i don't think it's a human sniper! I don't know what it is... but I would strongly suspect it would be the new covie carbine. i use good crack.. i'm not confusing the human sniper rifle with that new weapon. yep, i'm sure everyone that played at e3 used standard, info-released weapons.... but that 20second video might be from another group who got to play 'more' of the game. far-fetched, sure, but possible. did the e3 goers play with covie carbines, too? my point is, again, i saw and heard a weapon i haven't seen or heard before in any other halo2 footage.

ye ai see it too, but it looks like just a regular shot from the aussalt rifle...liek that yellow streak of line that follows the bullet. either that or probably a sniper, cuz he wasnt firing at the guy shooting him, maybe because he couldnt aim it right and he knew it.

  • 06.11.2004 11:04 PM PDT

SB-117

hes either shooting a tracer bullet or hes being sniped....simple...

i understand the suspicion that it may be a sniper, or tracer.... i'll admit it 'could' be... but, watch it again and listen to it again.... and then freeze-frame it. when i watch it, and listen to it- it sounds like an.... 'energy' weapon of some sort.... covie. i guess this debate over a millisecond of footage will get us nowhere and we'll all just have to see when more info or footage comes out- or when the game comes out. i'll interpret the footage as i see it, though- but, i won't disregard your thoughts on it either. i will say this, though- when some of the earliest h2 multiplayer screenshots were released, bungie pointed out that there were tidbits of things to look for.... some of us saw a spartan in the background holding a needler in the first one (burial mounds?), some of us found that the body will react in a more realistic way when hit (waterworks?), and in the third one, some of us zoomed-in on the little 'star'-like shots that were wipping overhead- while the spartan showed off a turned head and body while dual-weilding an smg and plasma pistol (not sure what map that was). couldn't that lil' footage have had a secret, too?
