Ok i have no idea if someones already posted this as im not looking through 23 pages of speculation but i zoomed right in on the Warthog with image preview and there is actualy what looks like a marine sitting in the driver seat. That would mean that unless there are marines in MP this is probably a story Co-op shot (or some kind of Xbox Live Campain map??)

Edit- i just realised that what i thought was the face of the marine was actualy the visor of a red Spartan. now i feel like an idiot.

it seems to be some kind of team game, but theres red and green/tan, no blue... i wonder if this means custom team colors?
and whats up with that dull green stuff? it definitely isnt a PP, and looks really inaccurate, it has a floodlike look in fact... is too washed-out and dull to be plasma.

It may be the new guns the elites were holding in one of the interview movies.

maybe, im fine with that, but most people stubbornly insist that tis a sniper rifle. it isnt, and if its being used in such close quarters it most certainly isnt.

  • 04.14.2004 5:50 PM PDT

Yeah, there is no covenant sniper rifle, and there probably wont be one. Get over it people, its most likely a PP or the new gun the elites are holding in the interview of the team.

  • 04.14.2004 6:03 PM PDT

But you can't say hes wrong either.

BUNGIE MUST READ

Hello, I'd like Bungie to hear this please, I tried sending an email to the web master but it didn't work. You guys have done a great job making separate fingers for the MC and other characters, but I've noticed a small, but significant flaw. The masterchief's fingers are too far apart when holding the Battle Rifle, SMG etc. in the recent screenshots of Halo 2 multiplayer, especially the most up to date screenshot of the dual action with the plasma pistol and SMG. In reality, your fingers would be much closer together. It may seem that this isn't a big deal, but little things like that can effect the realism to the game. I just wanted to give you my opinion, and thank you very much for your time Bungie.

By the way, Halo 2 is looking awesome!

Clearly you don't read many of the Weekly Updates. Actually, given that in one of Frankie's recent updates he states that someone "is working on a really cool alien zoom interface", I have a hard time believing that we won't see some high-damage, long range weapon from the Cov, though it's possible that their idea of "sniper" is a great deal different than ours is.

The idea of a Covenant sniper weapon seems to go against the philosophy of the Covenant. The Elites, at least, would most likely view snipers as cowards who shy away from combat, and there isn't really any room in the predominant Covenant strategy for a sniper weapon.

You expected an answer from the Webmaster?!? A serious one?!? One that isn't full of sarcasm and bitterness? I have a feeling that you have misinterpreted the role of the Bungie Webmaster. Just hope that he doesn't feature you in the next edition (which has been a long time coming, by the way).

Heres my perspective on the screen shot .....
# 1
in #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, so its not the plasma pistol. The size of the projectiles 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 maybe it. But I do agree with some other ideas as in a turret or some sort of new ground weapon, but remember the shades, they pack a punch with large powerfully shots, not little needle type bullets.
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
Number 3 is the old design sniper riffle; anyone notice any similarities in the barrel design at all? And why would that weapon be a covie type assault riffle ? All covie weapons are short and stubby, why would a new assault weapon have a long barrel, long barrels are mainly designed in weapons for increased accuracy, like a sniper riffle.
Thanks for reading .....

Anyone notice that the so-called "shotgun" in the hands of the guy on the left has a supersoaker like tank on the top? True this could mean an air powered shotgun but It also looks a lot like... perhaps a flamethrower? which if you look in the first MP S/S you see a whole bunch of flames being launched in the back, and we know there is a flamethrower in Halo pc. Just a thought.

yeah, i thought the shotgun looked wierd to, but i don't think its a flamethrower

also, another idea for the blue shots, could they be from the brutes gun they look a lot like they do in the e3 demo

Are you sure you have even watched the E3 Demo? It looks nothing like the brutes gun, that gun is bright green, larger in size, and has a "pealing" type of projectile

Does anybody remember the very first MP screenshot that Bungie released, of course you do. Well do you also remember the cave-like entrance way in the background. The cave like area that this screen takes place in could be the same cave.
