Uhh Dude the guys in the e3 demo are actually spartans


No, dude, there not spartans. They are cool, but are no where near the god-likeness of a true sparten. Download the video off kazaa and see what i mean, there not spartans. See BrokenArrow knows what hes talking about

I thought those were powerful to the point of being inaccurate without the use of an extra hand to steady it? Maybe this'll be a feature in H2

I don't know about everyone else, but this looks like a Campaign screen to me. Maybe my dream of 4player co-op will come true.

So apparently my reply comes at the very end of a long list of other comments... you know, instead of directly after the one I was comenting on. Anyway, I was refering to the magnum pistols in First Strike. Hopefully Halo 2 will incorperate some of the book into the game, I can just imagine taking out that spring-board covenant space-station. Oh yes, not sure if this was mentioned, but did anyone notice the 2 Spartans in the background aren't attack the 2 in the foreground. The sidestepping seems iffy also, I mean, no one is sure if that's going to be an ability... In fact, the one on the right looks as if he's about to turn and bolt... Reminds me of the part in First Strike when they're underground on Reach. In any case, we all know that no matter what Bungie decides to include or exclude in this game, it's sure to be quality good-times.

I just recalled, in First Strike, the Spartans sent to reach to protect the orbital MAC gun generators used a small nuke about the size of a football to ward off the impending covenant attack force. The blue, red, yellow object, while highly unlikely, could possibly be that. Just for the fun of it, think how awesome it would be to fly to the opposing teams base in a longhorn to drop off this special package! BAM! KAPOW! BOOM! JEEPERS!


P.S.
Old school batman, for those who don't get the last reference.

the screen is alright but like the other 2 its not great... i like that they're showing them to us but how's about something new??? and i for one and bummed that the pelican will not be flyable :(. that would have been the bast, flying across the map and dropping off 10 soldiers to take over then enemy base, would have also made it a bit beter in the air to air fights... oh well :(. i hope the next screen shows us something we dont already know.

It isnt a single player shot because master chiefs armour is unique and the spartans that survived reach are the ones in the halo 2 e3 demo.


They weren't spartans they were just really bad ass marines

Yup, ODSTs, I think. The best of the best in the Marine Corps.

  • 04.14.2004 4:18 AM PDT

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

tecnickly false in "the flood" it states the ODST's as being volenteers, i think that they just think they r the best cus they do the hard stuff

This may have already been noticed, but it looks as thogh the battle rifle the red guy is holding is colored red. Take a close look at it. It might just be he is in the shadows.

Man, I sure can't wait to drive that Minivan THAT THEY REPORTED ON APRIL 1, 2204. That will be sweet, along with the Keds Mjolnir Shoes THAT THEY MENTIONED THAT APRIL 1ST. And the Chief Chillaz. Yum.

Are you trying to seduce us into complying with a 2204 release date for Halo 2?

  • 04.14.2004 10:08 AM PDT

If this is a shot of another team available (brown or green looks brown to me) i cant imagine the possibilites of 3 teams now on xbox live, that would be sweet. I wonder if theres 3 teams now they have 1 team of elites 1 team of chiefs and 1 team of soldiers. Im looking forward to more new stuff this week. THEY BETTER DELIVER!

Thanks for clearing that up, Frankie. I was almost beleiving the plasma gren-o-lade. Of course, the whole Idea of starbucks sponsoring something other than themselves sort of gave it away.

Forgot to add this. The way the trail of the energy shots are suggests that the person firing them was strafing, or there is more than one person firing them.

then again, they might just be tracking something off screen.

Off course, this comment doesn't really prove or disprove anything.

yes, now i know its a prank.... but you had me... only cuz im alittle slow on the intake! and i dont follow dates, like i forgot today was my brothers birthday, as i did forget it was april first when i read that article.... that crule... evil... awfly mean.... evil... article.

i thought you acctualy went and ruind the best game ever, i was so enraged... i went and played halo and shot every one, friends and foe alike.

i was imaginging them being the evil prank pulling evil jerks or the stoopid people who acctualy became media whores and ruind my fav game.

but then i read it again, the whole thing, cuz last time i didnt read it whole thing cuz i dont like reading and the such, so the part that gave it away for me was the lenny re-doing the musical score, i mean really.... lenny is okay.... kinda... but if you were acctualy going to get an acctual band to re-do the musical score, get some heavy rock or metal! like metallica or something you can imagin shooting an elite in the face too... not lenny....

so yea, i fell for it... jerks... it was a crule prank.... jerks.... but i must admit, it was good... but still evil... like you.... jerks...but anyways the screen shots are great and you guys are doing a great job... now stop being jerks and messing with us and acctualy finish this godly game so we can play it! im tired of looking and analyzing every bloody screen shot, i wana play it!

Some people don't seem to like the screen shot but personally I love it. I'll take just about anything new in Halo 2

I don't see the frag grenades people are talking about. If they are talking about the two bright green things underneath that multi colored object, those are two plasma bolts....right?

Some guy said earlier that one of the lights are shot out, i dont see a light shot out.

Can someone give me a link to this April 1st joke/update I've been hearing about? The only thing I can think about with the minivan is that you can drive it on earth city.

As for the multi-colored object. I support the idea of that it is a MAC gun generator. Isn't their goin to be objectives in multiplayer now? Maybe, the brown team's objective is to protect this small generator....what yall think. It's underground, which makes more since to place something so important.

As for the blue armor......I really have no idea. One idea that popped in my mind and that is EXTREMELY unlikely is that if you can have more than 2 teams in multiplayer, maybe two teams are allies(brown and blue team?) and this is there way of showing it.

And the guy "dieing", I always assumed he was dieing until i read some of other people's ideas. I read somewheres that you can drop ur guns and start running faster. Maybe this guy is running backwards and has just dropped the gun in his left hand to start running. I dont think he's dieing b/c if he's dieing, why would his left hand be reaching for the gun in his right hand.

It looks like the guy with a plasma pistol and the SMG in his hands is using the peek around the corner ability. Why in the middle of the hallway, idk.
