The dirt being blown into the air looks great. I wonder if those green streaks are new ammo for the needler?! Frankie did say something about making the needler a gun you will look for . Refrence to bungie weekly update 3.26.04.

im gonna make it all clear seeing as im the only one using my eyes to look at the screen and not my fingers!
1. the blue bits are his designer armour mentioned earlier in the bungie news
2.yes duh he can hold different pairs of weapons
small guy on left,
3.hes just been killed thats why hes falling backwards
4.hes holding a shotgun
5 the weapons falling out of him are a plasma and frag nades and a battle rifle
6 the green things are most likly just nom plasma shots(green nedlles(very funny)!)
7of course its multipler shotwhy else be their four chiefs in different colour armour


i dont think your right, first of all what do you mean by designer armor, i see patches of blue on the guy to the far left who is supposedly "dieing", they look more like wore of paint, i agree with the 2nd thing, the 3rd thing im not sure, i dont see any of the "green needles" heading towards him and well it looks like nothings shooting at him, maybe hes just running back and shooting, i agree with 4, i dont see any battle rifles except the one with the red guy in center back, nore do i see any frags, and the thing that is red and blue, well when i looked closer and i agree its a plasma nade, just its really close to the screen

The entire fleet is engaged Cortana, with respect what the hell sorta reinforcements have you got?

the left guy hes definatly dead
hes letting go of the shotgun
and nxt to the plas grenade their is a mess of stuff which hes dropping (as a result of him dieing) in the middle is the battle rifle

  • 04.13.2004 12:19 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I hope those green things aren't the new needles, I liked my pink needles of death :( I am not that impressed with this screenshot, the other ones were better.

I believe that the guy on the left has NOT been killed because, first of all, the camera shot only makes you THINK he is falling backwards and , second of all, I think that he is just dropping his second weapon to hold onto the SMG by itself (possibly because he ran out of ammo for the battle rifle/shotgun/grenade launcher/whatever).

I also know for a fact that, technically, red vs. blue is not the only option. Here is proof: If it were "Red vs. Blue", why are there brownish-green guys in the pic. This is just another theory, but I think they will utilize the ability to change your armor color when you are fighting against the Elite forces. In an ancient article that Bungie wrote, they mentioned that multiplayer will be like an online war with many battles where gamers will be able to choose whether they are Elite or Marine (i.e. Tom Clancy's Counter-strike).

hey, you know what i just realized, ok its pretty obvious, but i didnt realize it before, the guy closest to the screen to the right, well is he running to the left and is using the "What the hell you lookin at" feature or is he sidestepping, either way i like to be able to move in a differnet direction then im firing

I am going to post things I am absolutely certain of as I continue to check the new sceen shot....first off the gun at the left of the screen shot that is not being held by any of the spartans has a scope on it so i highly doubt it is a shotgun so let us stop calling it such.

THE SHOTGUN IS THE ONE IN HIS HAND
THE ONE WITH THE SCOPE IS THE BATTLE RIFLE

oh so they improved the way you side step, ok, cuz in multiplayer when i see someone sidestepping it didnt look like that, so i thought they were using the turn face feature thing

dictator is right, the shotgun we're talking about is the one in his right hand, the one closer the shadows so you cant see it clearly, i agree now that the other gun was dropped and i can see his now free hand moving to hold the might be shotgun

Look at the gun in his right hand...look at the renders of the new SMG then go and play Halo and take a good look at a shotgun (or look at the renders of the shotgun) in Master Chief's hand...tell me if the shotgun barrel is that short and if it has a second handle...if it does then we will call that a shotgun.

THE ONLY SMG HERE IS BEING HELD BY THE MAIN GUY ON THE RIGHT
I WOULD BET EVERY ONCE OF GOLD SILVER AND ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE OF VALURE ON THE PLANET THET THE GUN IN THE RIGHT HAND OF THE GUY ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN IS A SHOTGUN!!!

I can definetly understand why you think it's a shotgun and the honest truth is I don't think it is a shotgun but i'm not sure (it could be one) and it doesn't seem to be an SMG but i'm not certain.

Please for the love of God tell me that it is just a Battle Rifle falling out of that "what not place" on the Chief instead of it being part of the dual weapons setup. Rifle type weapons made dual....not good, not good at all.

yes, i do now the difference between right and left, now i will prove to you its the shotgun.

first go to this URL http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/media.html

now press the stream button under Behind the Scenes, watch the whole thing and about a third through you will be in fisrt person watching a door open and some grunts and such come out, MC is holding some sort of gun but when he slams the gun into a grunt the EXACT same way the original shotgun was punched and it gives you a view of the gun, it sorta looks differnet from the original but i am almost sure that was the shotgun so i know it will be in HALO 2, and i am pretty sure the gun in the new shot is the shotgun since it looks the same

I am now certain it's not an SMG (Thanks Guys) and looking at the Halo renders of the shotgun it seems to be a shotgun more than anything else but it still seems too stumpy and short...maybe it's a new gun.

I'm pretty sure the spartan on the left was just killed and his weapons are falling off of him towards the screen (That's why the plasma greande looks so big). There is no way the gun he is holding is a smg or br, looks like a different type of shotgun or a new gun altogether. As far as the green plasma things go (I made a comment earlier that they look like green needles because of their tails, which i'm pretty sure I was wrong) do not look like plasma shots either.

OK i took your advice and checked out the saved video I have on my computer...that gun is an SMG...if you freeze the frame after he hits the grunt you'll see the second handle of the gun which he goes back and grabs that's and SMG but I am believing the new screen shot is showing the shotgun
