The silhouette of the weapon in the middle is clearly an assault rifle. Look beneath the thin barrel. You'll see the flashlight found on the assault rifle. The battle rifle doesn't have that. Plus, there's no scope. If this were a battle rifle, you'd be able to see the scope from this angle.

2) further what i notice is that the first guy is an Spartan and the rest are ODST, so i think you will be able to play as both also in multiplayer.

.


Think about what you're saying. How do you think that would work. ODST's don't have shields. Spartans do. ODST's are slow and can't jump high. Spartans jump extremely high and run very fast.

5th - Man crouched down with a Sniper Rifle.

Actually it might be Linda. She always had a Sniper Rifle.

I have to agree with you Frogwart. I don't see why a couple of ODST's would be thrown in with some Spartans. And a reread of the books would certainly help identify the, in my opinion, Spartans.

For everyone out there SAM IS DEAD!!!! way before reach happened.

My beat downs turn into burns.

it's very possible that master cheif isn't in this becasue he's up in space the whole time and that could be fred in the middle or it could be a split game in which you play as master chief in space and as fred on reach

Abou the Sniper's knees - compare the armor to Spartan legs and ODST legs. It looks more like MJOLNIR to me.
with the knee part of there armour it looks very much like the ODST knee armour piece in that link you posted

Forever there shall be war, thus forever we shall fight...

Why did Bungie make that one with the hips clearly a woman? I mean, they say in the books that they're indistinguishable in their armor.

I like cheese more than you
Except Blue Stilton. That stuff is nasty. As is any cheese that contains stuff other than cheese

Maybe the Rifle is a M5K assult rifle?

I think the middle is master chief.

The person to the far left and the person in the middle look to be almost the same size. It looks like the far left is only slightly taller but the armor makes him appear to be huge.

I think they might all be Spartans.

Just call me Najar.

thats how i see it, from left to right:

1- huge spartan with mjolnir mark V variant holding some kind of chaingun.
2- marine.
3- spartan with mark IV variant with a br.
4- spartan with mark IV variant holding a close quarters knive.
5- it looks like a spartan to me but it could be a ODST, obiously holding a sniper.

  • 06.06.2009 12:40 PM PDT

You cant have slaughter, without laughter

just letting you know if you haven't figured it out yet, that 'tail' is the chain for the chain gun :D

don't worry, i initially thought that until i had a closer look.

Yes, that is a possibility. I always wondered what the M5K looked like. If I remember correctly, it had the option of one, three, and automatic bursts. If so, do you think this could be implemented in the game. I hope so; I am so tired of the BR being the ultimate weapon of choice.

Nice conjecture.

We don't even know what Mark IV looks like do we?

i do believe the sniper is wearing Hayabusa. if you look closely, they are looking to the right of picture and there is something poking out of the top of the front of their helmet, just like hayabusa. The guy to the left looks like he is wearing Mark 1 armour (apparently its much larger than mark lV or V


EDIT: to the guy above me, Mark lV is what MC wore in Halo: CE

I don't know if it's just me, and i'm probably wrong, but i think i can see the Chiefs head on the far right of the picture. It looks like the cloud head on last resort. It looks like the tip of the helmet joins the tip of the sniper guy, who appears to be bowing down to him.

What do you guys think?

Also, if you want another challenge, look at this picture:
http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline09/odst/haloreach.jpg
that is the original picture that in the update Bungie said: "or just gaze longingly into the image to see if you can coax out any secrets via the power of your will alone. We believe in you."

That's the image I've zoomed in on...
I've zoomed in on other areas but I haven't seen anything.
