Ols Swedish Gunners

There are one new colour in the mp-mode; light green or yellow. Are there t going to be more than two teams this time? Blue, red, green and yellow perhaps?

It's so hard to say anything about the teams based on these few screenshots. I mean, Bungie tailors these things to give away a little, not a lot. These screens reveal only what they want them to reveal. They know that millions of fans are going to be disecting these things.

This could very well be a FFA game. If they wanted to show us how many teams there will be, my guess is that it will be in a CTF game screenshot, or in writing.

A) You guys realize that these aren't ACTUAL screenshots right? and that they are hand made? I really hope so.

B) Assuming it is real, could the scatter of greeny blueish plasma be some sort of Covenant shotgun? The UNSC shotgun was scatter shot and fairly inacurate. Who's to say that the Covenant don't have a similar weapon.

C) And personally, I believe it is a plasma pistol. Look at the screenshot posted prior to this one, and look at the red spartan in the middle of the screen. The "bolt's" he's shooting look similar to these.

D) To disprove that it's the needler. Look at the screenshot mentioned above. look at the needler there. PINK AMMO! Why would the color of the needler change after it has been shot?!?

Hedwig I just wanted to let you know I got a good laugh out of you signature at the bottoom of your post. It was funny in a good way.

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about here was his signature.

Like some have said it is really hard to tell exactly what is going on.My thoughts are

1) If this was indeed a co-op game, then why is their armor different colors. In Halo co-op the color of the spartan armor did not change, it was standard issue spratan green.

2) My friends and I think that i would be awsome to have more than 2player co-op because it would allow you to train with your team for tournaments and such. Although they would have to build in to the game where the game was atomatically intensified so that the game did not get ridicously easy.

3) Frankie did say that there will be a covie sniper but i doubt that is it. Mainly from the how wide spreed the projectiles are. It would not make sense unless the guy sucked with a passion.

4) As for the person in the warthog, it looks to me as if the tires are still spinning and that he is headed toward the tan spartans with the intent to run them over.

5) It also looks as if there is human wepons fire coming from in front of them as well. That is what i think wasted the one spartan and is what is lighting up the back wall. Wich some have refered to as light coming through. Althouhg it is very similar to when a pistol or assualt rifel hits a wall in rat race stage. The plasma fire may very well be just cover fire. Have you also notice in this screens shot you do not see any shields flaring from inpacts? That to me is odd as well

6) I also have the fear that they will mess up the story line because this is the best stoy that i have ever gotten into. I also have fears that they will try to add to many new options and mess up the controls, makeing them more complicated and frustrating.

7) Somone mention earler that there was 6 spartans that survied but thatt is not the truth. 5 survived, there were Fred, Will, Kelly, Linda, and John the Master Cheif. And if you have read the books you will know that Dr.Hasely took Kelly on sume secret misson. The ones that we know where heading to earth were Fred, Will, Linda, and John.

Yea its a multi player game, maybe there is custom team colors, and the new Cov Rifle might be somewhat like, and Im not sure if most of you have played it But the ION Rifle in Unreal Tournament maybe itll be more of a close range rifle, like we have in WW2 games., and it might let ya zoom in a bit. not as far as the Sniper rifle though and hopefully not as strong. And in the story theres 5 surviving Spartans; WILL, Linda, Fred, Kelly who was tooken on an unidentified mission, and our favorite badass John.

It's not single player, there is a red spartan driving the warthog in the background.

Who's to say, that if you can have more then a 2 person co-op game, that you wont be able to pick your colours.

yeh i think this picture is badass, and clan symbols is a great idea, but i am not sure how that would work. I have also seen the new halo 2 pics from Game informer and they are nuts!

he has a good point, another good theory is that maybe theres new gametype in which you can split into 3 different colored teams and complete seperate objectives in order to beat the level, and it would be better if there was more players then they should raise the difficulty. maybe theyll be 3 team colors, like in the book, Blue , Red, and Green. But thats just an idea I thought of, its a 10/100 chance of it being true. ( Bungie if ya think of adding that gametype, Gimme credit Xp )

Most people who closely examined the picture actually realized that the Spartan in the background is not dieing he is actually dropping his gun. One thing that might confuse people about that is the fact that the Spartan is also dropping grenades, but I think I may have found an answer for why the grenades are dropping.
In Halo 2 there are going to be a few types of grenades, and possibly Bungie will only allow you to carry two types at a time, meaning in order to carry other types of grenades you may have to swap grenade types. This is just what I think, but because the Spartans hand is reaching up to the pump part of his shotgun, a few other people and I have come to the conclusion that he is not dying, but instead only dropping his gun to pick up a shotgun.
For the people still talking about the new blue/green projectials in the picture, they are not the Brutes gun. To prove that it is not the Brutes gun, read the part of Halo: First Strike where the group of Spartans get attacked by Brutes on the Convenant Command and Control Station. By reading that part you will see that the Brute weapons fire some sort of grenade type projectial that cause probably as much damage as a Hunters plasma cannon would.
But who knows what Bungie has in mind...

the assult rifle and pistol are gone 4 sure i know 4 a fact. they will be replaced by the sniper/assult rifle(used in e3 demo) and a new pistol that is heavier and shoots more powerful. (if u don't believe me read first strike)

nah man im 90% sure hes dying look at his body, its in motion meaning if that were on video hed collapse just like the guy in the Halo snow picm and the new pistol might be a Magnum like in the book First Strike.

For the new pistol, I have a feeling that it will most likely be similiar to the Magnum one in First Strike. Back to the Spartan's body though, if you look at his legs they are still in the planted position on the ground meaning he is probaby looking upwards or above him. If you can zoom in on his legs you will see that his legs are still planted on the ground, and not bending backwards as if he were dieing.

Also for those of you who read the Weekly Updates every week, a few weeks ago Frankie mentioned that the characters in Halo 2 will move their heads around when they are looking in a certain direction. That may be another clue on finding out what the Spartan is really doing in the picture.

  • 04.15.2004 1:47 PM PDT

Why didn't you just edit your post to say that? But anyways, a pistol thats even stronger would completly ruin the game. The pistol in Halo was already strong enough. I hope they don't put a stronger type in. I hope its getting replaced by the SMG.

well he could be looking up and changing guns and nades all at once, or he could be dying, maybe im wrong maybe not. But i guess well have to ask the guy playing with the Spartan now wont we? STFU the pistol can never be replaced by a dam SMG remember now your armor is stronger so blah blah itll be the same crap hopefully.

I think the new pistol will be awesome. Better aiming because of the new wieght distribution, and a stronger bullet to take out the new brutes. If you have read the books, the master chief barely wins against the brute in "first strike". ANd he poped that guy full of lead with the machine gun. I think the new pistol will create a better advantage against the new wave of aliens in H2

Since the pistol was mentioned in First Strike, it will most likely be in Halo 2.

Looks to me that they are some type of needler-plasma combination weapon... look at how they fly in group and the hits on the falling MC... JUST AWESOME!
