Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

These new screenshots are outstanding, and they say they're outdated now? This game will bring world peace, erradicate third world debt and end famine and suffering the world over. And all on one day... roll on the 9th of November.

Is it me, but doesn't the early base sketch for the waterworks map look like Boulderhill from the cartoon M.A.S.K ??

It's like there's a party in my pants, and everyone's invited!

Yeah, you guys got it on the 'goin' ribs' - that was revealed to us a full two months ago when the GI issue came out. They make a small mention of it, as if its existence were not a clue to the mind of god.

Thank you Frankie, despite some of these charlatans that can only ask for more, there are legions of us more loyal and patient gamers out there. With their reserved special edition copies who will not be in school on Tuesday the ninth, who now have a reason to be proud they leave towards the east coast, so that they can get their hands onto H2 at 9 AM, and be one of the first thousand people into the game. Master Shake had it right, a toast!

Thank you Frankie, and Bungie Studios, for everything you've done up to now, and all you'll ever do, ever. Thank you. I agree with

Hey you may have trained with the ultimate grand master ninja and you are able to wait as long as Bungie wants you too. But I on the other hand, am a normal person who is about to go crazy from waiting so long for this game that will beat all games to come out! I envy those who can sit there all day and meditate without thinking of Halo 2 once.

[color=red]Question[/color]

Will these maps that have vehicle suport all vehicles or just certian vehicle for that map?

One of the things my friends and I found a little disapointing in HAL0 is that there wasnt a mp map that had every weapon and vehicle in CTF.

Very nice Frankie. Keep the screenshots coming.
I'm looking foreward to a level in which there are lots of jumps and -blam!- for vehicles. I mean, this just calls for some rocket launcher + grenade + warthog experiments. It's surprising how far Bungie has come with the game... everything looks exceptionally better.

One other thing: maybe why Bungie Towers is located in such a desolate place is to keep out unmentionables... you know... solicitors, IRS, in-laws, Microsoft cronies, etc.

Ya, that is why I think they should let you set each individual weapon you want on it, just like James Bond. That way you could use the weapons you want and you would be able to see everything. I also hope that beating the game gives you like new characters and vehicles or something. That would sweet.

Is it just me, or does Burial Mounds look like it's going to be a great place for ATV racing/ramping? Seriously, it says jump on a bunch of those bumb things, so I'm assuming it's for vehicle jumps... That's gonna be an awesome level.

"I think I know what that means. Condidering the name of the map is burial mounds, goin' ribs might be refering to the ribs of a skeleton. Maybe its the ribs of a very large skeleton that are sticking out of the ground somewhere on the map, perhaps the remains of a very large animal. Possibly Covenant/Alien? Goin' Ribs might be a saying that they came up with that describes the location of an enemie/teamate on the map."

I'm thinking of the very first multiplayer screenshot that was released. There are what seem to be the "ribs" and an old, blown up ship! Cool!

Hmm when I saw the dead end pic, I though the wall at the end of the hallway was a door, but if it's a dead end then I suppose I was wrong.

Frankie or someone could you let me know if I am right or wrong?

Nice article. I like the screenies and the info.

The screenshot labeled "Of course, vehicle kills are more entertaining with boosting." looks new and not from the Alpha Build. I can tell because I saw a Spartan in the background dual-wielding with two SMGs.


Yah, that was a cool screen, not to mention you could see how sick the new rendition of the plasma rifle is, that looks way more rad than halo 1. My only gripe is whats goin on with the banshee explosion it looks like damage decals are actually flying off of it as debree.

I understand that you were joking and everything, but what I think that really is is when you get a good jump (or drop) at like a certain speed he can't hold his feet on the ATV so he just kinda flies off and holds onto the handlebars. That would be amazing.

Just imagine races on the ATV's. Pulling up behind someone and busting out a Plasma Sword on their A$$, or sticking a Plasma Grenede to the back of their head!
