Haha, that sucks Frankie. Im surprised, being 'behind the scenes' and all, that you cant go straight into the databases and log yourself out. Eh, goodluck with that though, noobie(just kidding)!

I think that the "Censored and the Scorpion on the same level" means that they are going to have the covenant tank, or shadow, or whatever you call it. And as for the CENSORED finds out CENSORED, this is a guess that I think is probably way off the mark but it's fun to think about. Master Chief finds out that Cortana has been leading him to the covenant, because they reprogrammed her to follow their orders and now MC has to escape. Just a guess.

yah that could accually be it. cause she is acting differently when MC left her and she could have been changed cause she had no where 2 run and was reprogrammed and the last level is where MC has 2 run for his life because the mother ship is going 2 exploid and cortanas betrayed him. could b. or it could be MC finds out that the forerunners are accutualy humans. or the covanent finds out that the forerunners are the humans!!! Y would it have 2 b Mc finding out something? theb the end of the game is the covanent leaving the humans and high tailing it out of there never 2 return?!

Well ya, I never said it had to be MC finding something out. That's why I call it a random guess. But it seems most likely to me that the MC would find something out about the war or something considering he is the one who has been training all his life to fight covenant but doesn't know much about what is going on with the leaders or anything on earth. I mean for all he knows, the government could be keeping a secret cloning factory off in Australia and when the covenant attack they will be able to throw men at them by the millions! (cough cough) ok I went a little overboard with the cloning thing, but hey you never know!

i was just saying that Y is it always MC finding out things?
Yah but ur right bout the government thing. not the cloning but with the leaders. cause in the books all most all of the big ppl dont like the spartan II project. they might "give' MC into the covanent hands for something. like a peace treaty.? mabye not but that could b the interesting twist we r hearing bout.

whoa what you just said gave me a whole new light on things. The Covenant capture MC, the Government thinks that they are at peace and the Covenant will leave them alone, MC has to escape from the Covenant as they make their secret attack on earth. He unveils their plans to enslave humanity so that even Grunts have people working for them. Or perhaps we are blowing this way out of proportion and the Government is doing everything right, but there is some other strange twist no one has thought of (which is probably the case).

yah i think that this could accually be it!!!! it would be a good end. u no MC gets a call from the world leaders bout something important. is overwelmed and handed over to the covanent as an offering. then the covanent betray the humans and attack them but without MC. and MC escapes and has to defend the place that betrayed him. wow this could b it. or then again. it could b just a smaller twist thats not as big as this. like you finding out that there r more spartans. a still a big twist but not as big.

Halo 2 will be perfect

My Theory (far fetched) :

Bungie says they want and are going to make XBOX LIVE play as much as possible as System Link play, due to the fact of the great popularity of system link play in Halo, well this is what I think about these two CENSORED's :
"Had a couple of “take home tests” to check out how our fragile child-game performs in the high school play ground. I think we only got one black eye…

CENSORED and CENSORED tests."

I believe they are Video and Voice tests. Just think about it, system link, you are in the same room with all your friends, you can see them all. Well maybe there will be an optional camera for Halo 2, the game that is supposedly going to become a "mile stone".

"Mat Noguchi is just now checking in the magic code that makes players on XBox Live look like more than just a name, I'm psyched! "

Is that why XBOX LIVE is also getting updated to tunsumi ? To be able to host Video communications?

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but it may be possible.

wow, that is a pretty good idea. If they don't do it here, they should still do it in another game.

I'm affraid that there aren't going to be bots in this game due to this quote:


"That means that quite apart from the vehicle-jacking stuff, every vehicle that can be boarded, sat on or otherwise utilized, now has functioning seats for real-life multiplayer and AI single-player modes."


The game is going to rock anyway not that I'm affraid of that. But for training purposes it would be great to have bots.

The in-game video of your playing comrades has become very likely since this thingy has hit the streets in Japan just recently:

Owh man!!! It sounds like the future is happening!

3 guns at once eh? Well that isn't new! There was a slight glitch in Halo 1 on the Pillar of Autumn where if you got out of the bridge fast enough, got two weapons, then went back to the bridge and went out again wou would have 3 weapons.
What i really want to know is if you can have 4 weapons at once? Like: say you had a smg and a plasma pistol, then you dual wielded the smg with a needler, then dual wielded the plasma pistol with another plasma pistol. I know that bungie may think that this would be pointless as you couldn't melee or throw granades at all until you swapped out two of your guns for a single gun but it would be good for all out medium range carnage without granades. Or perhaps a new game type in multi-player were you can only dual wield?

Btw, nice update Frankie, hope you sort out your log in problem soon.

Another great update Frankie.
I think the part about three weapons applys to dual wielding. You can carry three single handed weapons and swap between them. So if you have a smg and a needler dual wielding you can pick up a plasma pistol then swap between them. So you can't have four weapons such as two smgs and two needlers.
For boarding the warthog does this mean you jump on then get a choice of where to jump into?. so you can jump straight into the gunner seat?.

Well, if you're holding a weapon in one hand, and you have another "holstered" you can dual-wield a third. That means the reserve weapon simply stays put when you pick up the dual-wield weapon. Effectively that lets you have three weapons at one time.
Now lets not blow this out of proportion folks. All this means is that when your holding a single-handed weapon, and you have another weapon in reserve, you can still pick up a "third" weapon to dual-wield with the first. That doesn't mean were going to be able to swap through 3 different weapons at any time. I would assume that when you are dual-wielding, and you have a weapon in reserve, and then you go to switch weapons, you drop whatever you are dual-wielding in your left hand. Does anyone understand what I'm trying to say?

yah thats wat i was thinking. i mean how would MC holster 2 guns? and reserve means a back up. as in not the first thing. so when u have a reserved weapon it wont b the first thing u can get 2. ull have 2 drop 1 of ur duel weilded weapons and then you can get ur reserve weapon.
