In the new H2 3D Screenshot I noticed something as I was rotating slowly as Frankie said to do. If you rotate real slow at the beginning you'll notice the rocket coming in at a very high angle right before it hits the fusion cores. Keep looking at the trail the rocket leaves.

To me it may indicate that the rocket is coming in from the sky or close to it maybe from a human answer to the banshee. And maybe it will shoot rockets as a secondary powerful weapon.

Everyone has been wondering if there will be a human answer to the banshee and maybe this gives a little hint?

What are your thoughts?

Mabye, but I doubt it because Zanzibar doesn't seem like the type of map to have aircraft in it. However, I do hope they have a human banshee in some levels.

Well I dont think so since now that MC and the Elites can jump a lot higher it may just be that.. Or it could be the Rock hog I am leaning towards the Rocket Hog if you look in some of the pics mainly one where you can see the rocket leaving the tube it looks exactly like that.

That shot is coming from the beach of Zanzibar not the base I believe if you look at the E3 video. So with that in mind there are no rocks or formations from where he would have to stand to shoot that shot. Therefore he couldn't be standing on anything.

There is nothing there right? It has to be coming from the air!

The warthog is in between the fan and the wall off the beach...watch the video again, there is a wall right behind where the warthog is, and the rocket could be coming right from that wall

But have you seen how high they can jump and not to mention the rocket hog? MC can easily jump 7 or 8 feet up.

Hmm, interesting. Nice find.

lol I hope there is a plane very much so I think it would be awsome to fly around with that thing doing 400 shooting up grunts and ghosts and all of that good stuff.

Or... they pinned a rocket launcher up in empty space and just fired it downwards.

If you remember, this wouldn't be the first time there have been floating weapons in Halo. That's right, the 343 Guilty Spark level, the levitating assault rifles.

Guys, I think you're looking a bit too far. Instead of saying "human answer to the banshee", why not just call it a Flyable Pelican. In any case, I don't think vehicles are allowed near Zanzibar, it's too small. As for the rocket's angle, is could've been a spartan standing on top of a Warthog who fired an RL.

it could have been fired from anywhere on the map. we dont how far the rocket can go or if there is a human answer to the banshee

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

The article that was posted along with the screen said that this was being done with the current build of Zanzibar, which is the same one played at E3 2004. So basically, we did not see a flying human vehicle in the map during the E3, so the rocket could not have been shot from a "human aircraft."

Geez... you guys go way too far with your speculations.... Think with logic for Christ sake. I bet that rocket was fired from that pillar the Elite is standing on in the E3 demo...

Sorry, but that's not it, if you look at the angle of the rocket, you'll see that it's exactly counter to the Pillar

how do you know if its that pillar. it looks to me like the elite was standing on the outside wall looking at MC on the beach. that pillar is not the outside wall. and the rocket was most likly fired from the outside wall.

Watch the 2004 E3 demo. Watch the part when they stop messing with the warthog and start a navigation around the map. At the beggining you'll see the spot. The pillar is a perfect spot to fire the rocket toward the warthog.

Bleh, showed up wrong, but the pillar and the beach wall form some kind of cross shape. It's kinda a vertical wall toward the big fan.

Beach wall and pillar should be forming a cross. That's why beach wall has an "i" in the middle. The forums text thing won't let me add spaces in order to move the fonts in the proper location.

But it would be a SkyHawk DUMBA..... silly.
