Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

I don't have "cliff notes" but I can show what needs changing on your list.

New pistol is basically a silenced magnum with a scope. Great for rapidly picking off minor infantry.
Resolution is too low to confirm that. All the main characters have their own models which include their equipment.

Health bar and compass. ODST have a "stamina" shield to protect against a few stray shots before draining the health. The health bar does not appear to regenerate and uses health kits much like Halo 1.
New style reticule.
Grenades will see frequent use. Very unlikely to find three flame grenades.

Looks to be Romeo. Squad sniper. Very high chance to be a character model feature.
Heavy Weapons Guy. Those grenades are improbable to be anything but a character model feature.

Skulls activate during Firefight.
Definitely not tracking.
Campaign and Firefight feature scoring.
Virtually all Halo weapons confirmed.

Meh repeats.

The Covenant cruiser was the intended target. Dare decided otherwise due to ulterior motives and the ship jumped.

Brute plasma rifle rocks.
Haw. Shot in the ass.

Can't identify the equipment. I've seen brutes drop that one before. Humans can't use equipment anyway.

Bleh accurate.

Seriously! The fanny packs and canisters are probably nothing special! Health packs are more boxy.

That grunt definitely does not have shields. Though in an early build, there was a green turret grunt that was incapable of being killed.

Meh. Smoke's probably obscuring damage.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

Cool, is it ok if I quote you so people can see more opinions?

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

The pic "coming in hot" looks like a pic of Firefight,not campaign.So some of the descriptions would be off.

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

Those strange grenades, those are fire bomb grenades.

Uh-oh, At one 1:28 in the trailer it says "hold b to pry open drop pod" that means someone didn't make it...
Drop pods are sometimes used for supplies/equipment.

Well, there is a high chance some didn't make it because of the Slipspace rupture.

Plasma Pistol over the BR any day!

in Green and Mean the ''new equipment'' looks like it's a needler viewed from behind, on it's side. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like a needler.

I think it kind of looks like an empty Needler.
\
But it's glowing blue, wouldn't the Needler glow pink? Or are all the weapons blue?
look at the campaign developer walkthrough. When the enemy drop their weapons/nades they turn blue. Since odst cant use equipment, I think this is a weapon & a needler at that.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

Just something they decided to leave out i guess. Pressing X will turn on the low light vision mode.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Your "New Grenades" are Firebomb grenades, the lighting just makes it look dull and not as bright.

Coming in Hot is Firefight. Not campaign. I suggest you change this.

I thing the red box in crater is just the ODST's hands :P

He's not that pale.
And it looks like the superintendent. (Kinda)
I don't know.


Looks like a skull to me.

Hey OP, I'd be interested to get your take on the green floating 'R' seen hovering over one of the cement barricades found in the ODST Gameplay Video?
