You must be looking at the wrong object, that is 100% a plasma grenade. Just fire up ol' Halo 1 and check out the very first one you see lying somewhere on the ground.

I am talking about the blue/orange ball dropping from the left Spartan. I'm not sure if he is though.

It IS a plasma grenade that isn't detonated. Look at any of the renders of plasma grenades in Halo or better yet, fire up the game and look at the grenade models. So you guys are right. The reason it looks so big of course is that the battle rifle and grenade are being spilled out into the 'camera'. It's just the way the camera was angled to take the picture in game. Weapons are just dropping out like they do in teh original Halo. :)

How are you guys picking out all these details?
The picture I'm looking at looks like someone went over it with a paintbrush.
Is there a way to improve the picture?

They said thats how they want the game to look, they want it to look like a freshly painted painting.

Click on it for an enlargement, if you've already done that then there is no hope.

Yeah I remember Frankie mentioning how unique the screens look. If memory serves me correctly he was likening it to how in the snes days, all the games be different devs had unique looks. That being said, they definitely have a surreal sort of quality.

The detail looks great. If gameplay looks that good now, I can't wait for the finished product.

Well it looks like something out of the funnies.
If I wanted that, I'd just go buy a comic book.
Give me a high res screen.

What are you talking about, it's just as big as the others.

1600x1200 pixels.

Man, why do people get so bent outta shape about graphics? Granted I love awesome visuals, sound, etc., just as much as the next guy or gal, but it's all about it being FUN for me. I played some of the best Halo E-V-A-R last night with my friends (10-player CTF, awww yeeah), and if Halo 2 was half as fun as what I've been playing since last summer, hell, it could look just like Halo 1 for all I care.

This looks like its a team game, with a BROWN team! Could this be our first glimpse into long debated subject of a plethora of teams?

Halo 2 will be perfect

Great Picture. I'm like absolutely positive that those are team indicators, not induced by lighting like someone else had said. Won’t we be able to make team symbols for XBOX LIVE, well maybe those patches might tie in with that fact. What ever is the case, I'm still getting this game the second it comes out. And no one is going to see me for days !!!

Glad I'm here for your amusement, you must be easliy amused. Concratulations on that.
I did click the picture. Yea, it's big. Woohoo.
But it looks crummy.
I personally don't like the look of the new Halo2 multiplayer pics they're releasing.
Nothing like the easy-on-the-eyes screen grabs we always got from Halo.

I think they look great and im 100% sure thats a shadow of anothre guy in the backround because you can see the markings on the wall through him (unless the the picture is made up of differnt pictures, then they just could have lowered his Opacity to try and make him look far away).

Everyone is here for Banshee's amusement...

Also, what you have to remember about the pics is that, these are shots frozen in action (obviously); imagine all of this in motion :)

Because they want to show off the new features without releasing a dozen shots.
