I havent read thie whole bulk of this messy, giant behometh of a thread so I dont know if its been cleared up or not by now, but heres my two cents anyway.
Regarding the green ammo, they look more like needler rounds to me. They have a thin, tapered sort of end with the larger, rounder head, with the same similar trail. Plasma blasts, in Halo games at least, tend to have a shorter body don't they? More robust. Or at least off the top of my memory they do. And it looks kinda randomn, like needlers tend to be if they dont fix on a target. Not to mention I count no less than 6 blasts, so it cant be one round from each enemy, if theyre are four. Then again, this might not be taken straight from an actual combat. perhaps its just an in-game shot but with the players not doing much other then showing off a couple of teasers?
I remember Frankie saying something about the needlers now being the weapon to look for...so a few changes are certain...
Why one of you blokes thought the idea of a green needler is funny is beyond me... But them you did seem to believe in the "designer armour" thing ;)
The screenshot looks quite good, though certainly not the best example. I have one or two grumbles with some of the textures, (the canyon wall to the right of the Warthog looks stretched, but its kind of hard to wrap a texture around a polygonal plain like that without some sort of stretching occuring, I admit), and the metal-ish pillar to the right of that seems to be unevern (look directly under the foregorund Chiefs left elbow), but these are just teaser shots and no doubt the actual in game shots will probably be better. In any event, its an exciting pic, and it's got me all geared up for some of that multiplayer action...yee!
