I've just bought Xbox Gamer UK and read there A-Z list of everything Halo 2. It's the most superb magazine article to date in my opinion, in terms of giving every detail. They just revealed that in Halo 2, the Elites will have a kind of Flying-Karate kick! Also, Engineers are Confirmed (they apparently proved to be very tricky to A.I./animate) aswell as the Flood. Also, the Covenant's Warthog equivelant, The Shadow, has the drivers seat, the gunners seat and two passenger seats (which you can use personal weapons from) confirmed. Also, Bungie wouldn't make much comment on the magazines A-Z directory very much, but told the interviewer to hold his breath on the 'D' section until November 9th (11th UK). Very, very interesting indeed! Views people on everything, and speculate on what the 'D' could be.

[color=GOLD]UPDATE

Look at the Halo 2 Documentry video and you'll see The MasterChief, sitting in the Prophets throne on a PC screen behind Jason Jones here at this point>>4minutes 21seconds.
Download it and take a look!!![/color]

1.) can the shadow fly or is it a crappy ground vehicle.
2.) is the cov kick have anything special about it, like takes long more damage goes further?
or is it just a fancy hit to replace a hit with a gun

All true people, in Xbox Gamer UK. The Shadow is the Warthog equivelant, it can't fly.

Well at first, I thought maybe Dr. Halsey, but I now think it's a New type of Alien. Sorry people, forgot to include this. Although only a rumour at present, they reckon you'll be able to board the Prophets chair and take it from them!!

Im thinking Dr Halsey at the moment but it would be so cool if it was a new covenant alien or maybe a type of fore-runner.

Yeah true, but I think the 'D' is something else, something much bigger than we all expect. I'm clueless though.

BRAINSTORM!!! hunters. They had the best meelee in halo, and when u talk about flipping stuff with a meelee, i think about hunters shields shmacking a car over. O, and dont forget Bungie hasnt said ANYTHING about hunters, exept theyll be in the game.

I can see it now the prophet is all like
" We shall now make a peace treaty"
Then MC is like *SMACK* steals his chair

Why the hell would we want to board it? I can't see any tactical advantage.
