With Halo 2 on its way and rearing its beautifully shaped head around the distant corner, I was hoping everyone, if not the Bungie gurus, could answer questions that are on my mind and , hopefully, the mass' minds as well. I would also like to say, I posted this before with only one question. This will have quite a few about Halo 1 (planning and editing are not my strong points). So with that said let's begin... again:
1. Who the devil are these bloody guardians? I've been kill a number of times by them/it and so have my friends when we duke it out on MP (multiplayer for those with short termed memories).
2. What do the letters on the bottom of the MC's shoes stand for? If you have a friend jump on top of you during any type of Co-Op or MP game, there are letters at the bottom of the shoes? What do they stand for?
3. Why is there a hippo on the shotgun shells? My game manual is missing so maybe I missed something in there.
4. Those lovable grunts say so many things, and maybe my musical traumatized ears heard this incorrectly, but do the grunts also call players an "Ass-wookie?"
5. On Blood Gultch, close to the Reds' base, there is sloped mountain sides. This is the section right before the cave. If you fly at the cliff sideways via ghost, and jump off at the right moment, momentum send you flying to the top of the stage giving you one kick ass sniping point. Although, I'm sure its not, was this intentional or do I just have too much free time.
6. To me, it sounds like the Elites talking is human audio played backwords. If this is true, what are they saying?
7. Why does Cortana have a buttcrack? Its visible during the opening cinema scene for Two Betrayals. I know she has to be identified as a woman and this is is done quite well. But does a highly advanced AI really need a buttcrack?
8. Halo has lots of little realistic quirks in the game. Does the radar in the warthog actually show red blips when enemies are around?

Thats all for now. If anyone could help me out I'd more then happy to.....give you my gratitude.

Err..well I can tell you that the letters on the Chief's boot stand for Marcus R Lehto (Halo Art Director), and yes the Elites speak backwards english. Wort Wort Wort(Go Go Go).

And oh yeah, I thought a Grunt called me an ass monkey. Which is like a wookie, but slightly less hairy.

By the way alot of answers to questions like these can be found at halo.bungie.org

While it may sound like the grunt called you an "ass wookie", listen closely and you'll find he's actually saying "casualty!"
