Ok, first off, the little thingy you pointed out is obviously a particle of dirt since you see more of it scattered about near by. And about the covie vs. spartan idea. I've been an avid XBC player and hungry tourny man, so i know halo MP, and the only way they can pull of a covie vs. spartan without destroying the glory of halo MP is if they have human vs. CPU. And if i recall correctly, Bungie said they will not have bots (CPU) in multiplayer.

Pic looks beautiful, though. =)


Actually, the only thing I've heard is that Bungie won't have bots unless they work the way they would want them too... Same with the Flame Thrower...

I'm guessing a refined needler, or something newer or close to it. Look closely and you can see the swervy-ness in the green trails. But.... also notice that they arent tracking onto anybody, even IF the brown chief is dodging them.

Actually, the Plasma pistol can shoot insanely fast as long as your finger is pulling the trigger that fast. Seriously, go try it out on Halo. I can just see a bunch of Bungie workers laughing their heads off as they pull the trigger super fast, just to make a bunch of die-hard fans start a thread about it. Lol. Bungie is cruel....



Also, does anyone know how to get pics in a sig?

exactly what i think. looks like a plasma pistol (maybe 2) firing... certainly havent seen any evidence to convince me its a new weapon, though that could be the case.

also, on legendary, the jackles can fire those pistols insanely quick. much more rapid then i ever could.

1. Don't put pictures in your signatures... One of the bungie employies asked to not put them there and take them out if you have them... They also working on disabling them.

2. I would agree that Plasma Pistol could shoot fast if you were fast at hitting the fire trigger... But they were also perfectly accurate... and I couldn't see someone making that bad of shots with the plasma pistol. (If I recall, the plasma pistol had no kick to it at all, it has perfect accuracy in halo, though I admit it's not the same in Halo 2)

Someone mentioned that the blue patches may be for team identification, perhaps on xbox live you will be able to put a clan insignia (sp?) there! That would rule.

Also it was crazy how quickly this thread exploded, I didn't even realize the screen was there even though I have been roaming the (awsome) new bungie.net just about all day.

Yeah, I forgot about the accuracy...Still, I'm holding to the idea of the sadistic Bungie peeps shoot as fast as they can while twirling the joystick. It's just a stupid mental image I can't get out. Lol,

Just to quell any more debate about the green plasma bolts, they are fired from a plasma pistol most likely. If you don't believe me, watch the E3 2003 Halo 2 demo and pause it while any of the jackals or grunts are popping shots off. You'll see the bolts have the same distinctive 'head' and 'tail' effect to them. Looks like it to me anyway.

If the gun that guy is dropping is a BR than what is this?

It looks kind of like the thing on the warthog, but I know it isn't.

It could be a vehicle's gun. I'm suprised no one has mentioned this. Maybe because it's so obvious.

  • 04.13.2004 3:31 PM PDT

it is not a gun we know about yet. those plasma things don't look like any sort of shot from any gun i've seen shoot. it can't be a plasma pistol cuz the shots are too small and scattered all over instead of in a line.

I think the green shots are from plasma pistols, several of them. We don't know how many foes are shooting at the MC's we see, or from how far away.

  • 04.13.2004 3:41 PM PDT

Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Forum Tutorials --- WATCH THEM AND LEARN

What about the skin on MC? it's nice to know that there's more than red vs blue now :D. unless it wasn't team slayer/ctf ect...

Wow that screen is awesome no doubt at all that it is the best so far. I love it! 2 weapons thanks Bungie from the new site to this screen!

  • 04.13.2004 3:42 PM PDT

Im about 99% positive those green shots are from a plasma pistol. The reason they look bigger in Halo 1 is because they are moving, and the graphics weren't as good. The reason they are so spread out is most likely because;
1) there are more then 1 plasma pistol
2) the guy shooting them is straffing across the corridor, or
3) Bungie just wanted a sweet screen with lots of cr@p going everywhere.

Anyone else notice that the plasma pistol he's holding does not point in the exact same direction as the SMG (or appear to)? With the end glowing, he's probably overcharging it, so it could sway back and forth like it does from first person in Halo. In otherwords, the animation between first-person and what other people see could be linked...which would be very, very cool.

Halo 2 will be perfect

I'd bet money that those are plasma pistol shots. If someone were dual wielding those, then it makes sense that there are so many shots.

Yeah i agree. Theres no way they would give elites or some type of covenant a sniper rifle..imagine walking into a big desert area with 4 elites on 4 different hills sniping at you on Legendary difficulty. Can anyone say head shots??




OK, I disagree with both of these guys, if you look at
# 1
You can clearly see the PLASMA PISTOL being used, which in color looks nothing like the color of the projectiles in the new screenshot. The shear size of the round doesn’t compare in any way to the actually plasma pistol shot, it’s almost a direct comparison to the Needler, except for the color. The sightly swirrling tail is the same as the needler in Halo. Frankie told us himself that the needler is in fact going to be different, so this is probably it.
Now on to the sniper rifle, this, "The Marines will also know how to call in support from a Warthog or point out an enemy sniper for an ally to take down." was out of the Q and A page. That leads me to believe that there will in fact be enemy snipers, this
# 2
Is what I believe to be that weapon, the covie sniper riffle.
# 3
That is the old design sniper riffle; notice any similarities in the barrel design?
Thanks for reading .....

I remember one of the more recent Bungie Weekly Updates mentioned something about the dual wielding animation where depending on how you turned and aimed the respective weapons would move in tune with Chief's body. The weapons would shift with your movement is what I'm trying to say, and I don't mean like they normally would walking, eerrrr, yeah. Anyone remember reading that?

After looking over the last year E3 movie, they are indeed the Plasma pistol shoots, they are different though, in the E3 the shots were much more brighter... I like this look a heck of a lot better...

Now why they are so inaccurate, the people must really suck that are using them =P

Anyway, if the Covenant in Halo 1 had sniper rifles I could see it being impossible to beat a level that has more then 1 elite carring them. You see, if you notice how the Marines shot with there's you'd completely understand, they never missed, the only people they had trouble with are the jackels, and they could see people miles away (on AotCR, I was attacked by Sarge when standing on the bridge after you ditch the scorpian tank and stole a banshee. I think my sniper rifle scope said he was 360 (whatever distance the sniper rifle scope calculates in) away!

Plus, they use those guns like they're fully automatic. An Elite would kill us the instant we we around the corner...

I hope they have some sort of Covenant Sniper Rifle in Halo 2, and have it the AI isn't either very cheap with such weapons or very crappy with them. It'd be fun to play games were there isn't something your obviously superier over them in...

everyone keeps arguing about that one guy in the background, is he real and covered in smoke and dust, or is he a shadow cast from the far right? i dont know why he cant just be a cloaked guy? maybe he just finished firing and is re-cloaking. also the plasma pistol shots in the e3 video look NOTHING like the green bolts in this picture

It's just a shadow. The BR is reddish too.
