Brute chieftain is in firefight mode (ign has a pic) and when we kill him, we get to use the hammer so how are we going to use the energy sword in firefight if brutes dont use them?

Elite honor guards!!!

Prepare to drop.

The Flood Revolution is coming...

Apologies, I got that wrong. Cannot pick up dropped equipment.

Are you sure? I read a preview where it said you can pick up the hammers? Where did you read this?

I don't think we can pick up all their weapons seeing I saw an ODST with a carbine in trailer and another carrying a turret in a couple screenshots, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The world is quiet here. -L.S.

See you starside.

I you look at the firefight screen shots, you can clearly see an ODST holding a spiker, and another with a plasma pistol.

Expansion ODST = awesomeness. This should be alot like COD. But before i say further. I must watch the E3 footage.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag

Acually I think elites are UNSC allies after the brutes and prophets attacked them, which was shortly after regret's ship entered slipspace.

So I think you won't fight elites.

i get the impression that we can pick up weapons in firefight but.......... they do keep saying you cant pick up covenant weapons despite it constantly being prompted on screen (RB to pick up brute shot) so im quite confused

  • 06.02.2009 3:08 PM PDT

I don't think a hammer would be feasible for an ODST.
The gravity from the hammer would affect them every time they swung.

Firefight mode doesn't have to follow the story or anything. It's a multiplayer mode so even the flood is a possiblity.

Firefight mode will need more enemy variety so elites with energy swords would change it up a little. The elites had a.i in halo 3 so it's possible.

You cannot pick up Covenant equipment.
Ex: Bubble Shield, Power Drainer, Regen

just give up on the elite thing. it won't happen.

  • 06.02.2009 3:10 PM PDT

You can pick weapons, and equipment. Watch the gameplay by Joe Staten, on the bottom of the screen it says " press RB to pick up"

Genius.

That would make me very happy, there is no reason to restrict it to Brute in the place of Elites.

No battle is decided in a single moment, although in every battle there arise moments of crisis, on which the result depends. - Carl von Clausewitz

I hope so!

"Bungie controls everything. You have no rights. Play nice."

For the last time its TURRETS not TORRENTS. A TORRENT is either a peer to peer file sharing protocol or a violently fast stream of water. A TURRET is a self-contained weapons platform housing guns and capable of rotation. And TURRENT isn't even a word.

And besides, the bubble shield was made by ONI. Its human equipment.
