we have no idea if they are or not, ok, as i see it that was a pretty much useless question seeing as none of us work at bungie and there for we dont know anything about when they were playing around in multiplayer trying to get an awesome shot

Let's get some facts straight

* In the short video clip where he smacks a Jackal in the back he's using a SMG -FACT

* The guy on the LEFT of this new screen is holding a Shotgun in his right hand (your left) - FACT

* The guy in the center of the picture is holding a Plasma Pistol and a SMG -FACT

* Bungie have hinted at that dual weapons will be limited to weapons that you can hold in one hand i.e SMG, Pistol, Plasma Pistol.

And Crazy_Dictator is the only sane person in this thread

IT IS NOT A FACT THAT THE GUY ON THE LEFT HIS HOLDING A SHOTGUN, first of all it does resemble a shotgun, but the top part is a little big and to short, the nozzle is very small, and the pump at the bottom is very chubby, if it is a pump then the gun is a pump shotgun, it could just be a place to hold it though, last, it IS a fact that we have no certainity that that gun is a shotgun

Please look at this picture... it looks more or less exactly the same to the gun on the far left in the new screen. Just zoom in on the new picture... It's pretty obvious really

Absoloutly amazing. The way MC is pivoting on one foot, its so much more dynamic than Halo. It actually looks as though those MC's are holding a point, fighting to stay alive. with the warthog storming down the tunnel either to crush them or to rescue them. I love it.

I think the blue color on the side represent whether they use the red base or blue base. It seems that we'll be able to pick whichever color we want for the primary but we'll still have the Red vs Blue. I think this because there are two red guys in the screen and the two greenn/ brown ones both have the blue pieces on. To simplify what I just said, I think that we'll still have the R vs B just not as the primary colors.

Actually that's a render of the old shotgun but you can definitely see that' it's the same gun.

Very, very, very, very nice screenshot!!!! Even better than the last. Hopefully there will be more to come soon. Here are some question some people may be able to help me to answer:
1) Why are the Master Cheifs blue and green? Why not just one solid colour?
2) The Master Cheif being killed in the background is dropping two weapons; one being the new Battle Rifle and there is another small weapon with a flashlight which is not the SMG. It almost looks like a smaller version of the old shotgun. Will we be able to dual weild small non-pump shotguns in Halo 2?
3)Below the plasma grenade that is dropping from the dead Master Cheif there are two green grenades below it, but are being slightly covered up by the dusk. I found a similarity between those grenades and the ones that were on the ground in first Halo 2 mulitplayer screenshot. This statement brings up two questions: a) Could these be the only new grenades in Halo 2?, and b) Will you be able to cover yourself in dust in Halo 2 by shooting walls and other objects to make yourself less visable?
4) If you look above the MC with the plasma pistol and SMG, one of the lights above him are shot out. I know you can shoot out lights in Halo 2, but to what extent?
5) There are strange green energy beams being shot at the Master Cheifs... Could this be the new alien weapons projectials?

Vulmex, my question wasn't meant for the community, my apologies for not being clear on that. I was simply leaving this question open for either Sketch or perhaps stosh to answer provided they knew = /

ok, if you had looked some guy came up with a theory a while ago where there can be like 4 guys on the blue team, but the only part of them thats blue is covering part of the armor, this way you can still choose your favorite color and be on the blue team, yes the other gun is a shotgun or at least we're pretty sure it is, second hes not dieing necesarily, he could be running backwards or its a reaction from projectiles at the front, we dont know what grenades there will be except plasma and frags, all lights are shootable, we arent sure what the green shots are, i think their a new version of plasma pistol shots, but they might be from a new gun

i think i found a new feature about dual weilding, ok, as far as we now the guy to the far right has dropped a batle rifle and maybe if he's dead then the plasma and frags are his, the only things that argue with him being dead, 1 none of the oncoming fire looks like their hitting and none are even aimed at him, 2 he doesnt look dead he looks like he's running backwards, 3 he's still holding the might be shotgun, now what im thinking is he was dual weilding a battle rifle and possibly a shotgun or whatever that thing is, so if that is what happened then he either died and dropped the battle rifle or he ran out of ammo and theres a way to just dump guns and put twop hands on his shotgun, or he might have just got tired of the battle rifle and if we can just drop guns then he dropped it to focus on using his shotgun.

I thought you could only dual wield single handed weapons?

The Battle Rifle obviously requires two hands occurding to the footage from E3.

I like what you said about him dieing. If that is a death animation. Its pretty sweet....

ok this is just what i think. The green plasma bolts are actually coming from a new gun. If you look back to an old screenshot theres two elites holding bran new weapons. I believe that that bun is the one shooting the plasnma bolts and bungie purposefully made it so you couldnt see what was shooting it. Also i am unable to decide what the gun the guy in the back left is a shot gun or not, but he is not dead because you can clearly see hes still holding a gun. Over all im not extremely pleased with the screen but it is still awesome.
