Relax dude,
my point is that there will be no jaggies when the game is in motion.

I will, and I hope you're right about no jaggies, Halo looks so old because of the jaggies on outdoor levels.

Whoever mentioned that the green blasts are not The Brute's weapon, they are correct, as they look entirely diffrent in the E3 demo. They are long, large and seem slightly jagged with a dark and light blue coloring.

These are green, but don't seem like charge shots from the Plasma Pistol. Who knows what it is!?

I'm wondering if there is an advantage to having the MC's body just sideways the whole time making the surface area as a target smaller and hence more dificult to hit. I'm also wondering how one would toss a grenade while holding those there guns... Plus, is this a co-op shot or MP shot? Thoughts? Speculations? Word!

Is that really a multiplayer shot? It doesn't say that it is in Frankie's post. But it probably is, and as with all things involved with Halo, it is indeed beyond awesomeness.

You know, even though the pic is called a mp pic, "mp" doesn't mean that it isn't co-op. Co-op is multi-player.

More than likely you will not be able to throw grenades when duel-weilding. Gotta have some disadvantage when holding two weapons.

You can't throw grendaes while dual-wielding. Frankie said so in one of the recent updates.

It almost looks as though you can create your own team armor. I think this because look at how there are patches of blue on the suit. And the helmet of the driver in the back with the worthog

As for the green weapons fire, I'm surprised no one has suggested that maybe there's more than one person firing those. There could be two players, one with dual whatever it is, and the other with one of those and an smg [which could be where the weapons fire hitting the back wall is from]. Three plasma pistols being fired as fast as they could might account for so many bullets.

And there could very well be people at Bungie who just aren't very good shots, I can't imagine everyone there has tournament winning skills. Maybe that's why they are so spread out.

As for the red guy in back pointing away from the action, he could have just spawned back there...

That would be very cool, but I doubt it. Someone brought this up earlier, but it is probably there so that the brown/green color of armor is easier to spot. If it didn't have the blue on the wrists and legs, it would have a huge advantage over the red and blue armor. It would be nice to customize armor though.

I can't be the only one who thinks the environment textures look sub-par. The grey girder textures are so bland and ugly, and I give Bungie more credit than to represent lights as shotty bitmaps... The only other things is that the closest MC has a grey decal on his knee where the paint chips away, and I you look at the second most recent pic, every other MC has the same decal on their knee; something else that would bug me.

  • 04.14.2004 12:13 PM PDT

Its only something that would be noticed by someone actually LOOKING for something different. Most people don't care enough while playing the game to actually look for things the same or different about something.

The green plasma shots could be fired from a Covenant Sniper Rifle because most of us have never seen a trail of plasma until now. Plus the little blue marks on his armor could be a mark for a clan (i.e. Unreal Championship). Another thing that has been bugging me is the guy on the left. A lot of people say he is dying and some others, like myself, say he isn't. Tell me this...if he was actually dying, why is he still holding his other gun? To me, it looks as if he is just dropping his other gun to use his other gun with both hands. A shotgun is unlikely his gun because, as said before, he can only duel-wield guns you can use with one hand. Now unless he is using a sawed-off, I don't think that is what he is carrying.

Just a thought...this is for the Bungie employees who choose the screenshots...why is it that we can only see multiplayer shots in the third-person. Could you please possibly show a shot from MC's point of view? Thanks, I know many will appreciate it.

Many people on the forums are constantly debating on whether the Master Cheif in the picture is dieing or not. Here is what I think is happening with that player. If you look closely you will see that he is dropping a Battle Rifle and two of those new green grenades. Many people think he is dieing because when you die you drop your guns, but the shotgun in his opposite hand is still being held. Also his legs seemed to still be in the standing position, and he may not be falling backwards but just looking up. Going back to the shotgun though is the fact that his right hand is still holding the weapon, and the other hand is moving towards it. I think that the player is only dropping the Battle Rifle because he is picking up a shotgun, and since his right hand is clenched around the handle of the shotgun his left hand is moving towards the pumping part of the gun since you need to hands to use a shotgun: one hand for shooting, and the other for pumping. So to sum it all up, I believe that the player is dropping the Battle Rifle for the shotgun, while looking at another player or target that is positioned above or upwards to him. I found it strange though that the grenades are dropping as well though, but possibly in Halo 2 you will be able to now swap grenade types since now there are a few different types.

The new screenshot is exciting. It gives us proves that will be more teams except red and blue. And the characters will be holding 2 different guns at their hands.
Keep going, Bungie. You know the gamers well. You can't dissapoint us. Keep going.

The green projectials in the new screenshot may be from that purple alien gun that was in the previous picture of the two elites, but they also have a strange resemablances to the needler projectials. Maybe they will be different versions of the needler in Halo 2, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Perhaps, the two different needlers, if there are any, are homing needles (i.e. Halo) and some kind of faster rate straight shooter...who knows...

  • 04.14.2004 2:43 PM PDT

I seriously doubt the shots are sniper bullets. They look like charged Plasma pistol shots, because those DO leave a trail of plasma.

boxes are cool... Frankie did say that they were gonna add some cool feature to the needler so it is now a weapon you are gonna be lookin for. maybe that has somethin to do with it. i have a bad habit of being wrong though.
