While reading the new update I noticed something odd Frankie said. He said "the way the Elites reload now is almost too much detail." Now the Elites never reloaded in the first Halo their guns just overheated or something. What does everyone think... will there be new covenant weapons that reload or maybe they pick up humen weapons?? What are your thoughts?

This is pretty obvious, I've seen a couple Elites with Needlers so you just really weren't thinking, the only Covenant weapon that has a reload is the Needler so obviuosly he's talking about the Needler.

I dunno about it, all I know is the new elite gun is awesome, and it has got a scope. About the elite reloading thing, pretty much everything is gonna be in too much detail in Halo 2. I say the more the better.

Did anyone notice the purple canisters littering the platform in the begginning of 343 GS? The small ovular things spilled from the overturned canister?

Needler Ammo.

Frankie said himself on the HBO forums that he was talking about the needler. Sorry, bub.

What's a "Sticky"??

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

There's gotta be a new Covie weapon or two. I doubt Bungie would add new human weapons in Halo2 and not throw in a few for the Covenant. The reloading issue is probably about the needler (or possibly a new Covie wep that reloads).

Has anyone noticed the faint blue (plasma) streaks/fire on the mP screenshot (the one that appears to be in a cave)???
I think it's fire from a new Covie weapon. The closest thing i can relate them to from Halo 1 is maybe plasma fire from a turret gun. I hope it's not from a plasma riffle; in Halo1 i liked the way the blue and green plasma fire slpashes onto surfaces and looks almost liquid like while flying thru the air.

u will see sticky: on them, have a look for your self

also isnt there a sniper rifle in the new one???
there'll be loads they were going to put like 30 weapons in the origonal halo so now they have full respect they'll get they're way.

NO! Frankie said himself that he was talking about the needler. Case closed.

Might I add as well Banshee that this person thinks that the gun the elite is holding in that screen has a scope but in fact he has no clue! Prove me wrong (if you can) by making a link to your proof, but I'm pretty sure Frankie never said that gun has a scope on it.

Frankie has actually confirmed on HBO that he was talking about the needlers, but maybe he was talking about another weapon. Sorry to put your hopes down :P

From the weekly update of 3/5

He's also been working on a Covenant weapon that has been shown before ? but never discussed. The first person animation looks great, and the weapon has a zoom mode too. Nathan wants to see a really cool alien interface for the zoomed view, but that's something that's still being discussed.

The weapon in the X03 screen shot is the only covenant weapon that has been shown but never discussed.

But couldn't that be a different covie weapon? He never said it was the gun that the elites are holding in that screen. He just said it was a covenant weapon that has been seen before. Know one knows which weapon it is and if you say you do then you're lying.

Yea, I'm betting on a bunch of new/redesigned weapons to show up for both the humans and covies. I especially can't wait to see the new needler. Somebody said that you'll really want to pick up the needler in Halo 2.

Then give me another example of a covenant weapon.

If not that weapon, needler, plasma pistol, or plasma rifle must have a zoom feature.

read the game manual, under plasma rifle/pistol it says "no way to reload these weapons has currently been worked out by Humans"

obvioulsly the weapon can relaod batteries, but i never saw it happen in the old game

i think they might in H2 tho

Here's a link with it in it, made by yours truly. This may not be the one Frank was talking about but it's one of the new Covenant weapons.

I'm pretty sure that's it. If you want the actual pic look in the Halo 2 gallery, the quality is a little better.

I saw a few of the screens online, but I have to wait and get the issue of Game Informer when it comes on shelves because I'm not subscribed. I haven't called around to see if they've gotten it in yet. That will go on the top of my to do list.

But what about the strange plamsa fire in the latest mP screenshot?????!!!!!! It looks like a burning projectile with a lazer tail !!!!! there is nothing like that in halo 1 (Blue or Green!) so therefore it must be a sign of a New Covie Weapon!!!!!!! Someone agree or disprove me...please.
