No I won't spam your inbox with group invites, I will respond in the best way possible. Thank you, and as I had opened, I'll close - good day.

Steve oz strat2, you raise a good question; luckily, I have an answer ; ). It has been unofficially confirmed that there are elephants in the campaign. How do I know this? Let me direct you all to this video, of Joe Staten having an interview at IGN. Now, would you please fast forward to 10:50? When they're talking about the map?

you'll see what I mean

edit: if i replied in that thread (the original one posing the question about elephants in the game, by Steve oz strat2) i dont think the abundance of people who had replied in that thread would have noticed it - this way i think more people will see it, and if im breaking any rules please lock

**My reasoning is that hilary was joking and talking about real elephants, and Staten was telling him how right he almost was, as in there weren't real elephants but Halo elephant vehicles, however, there are many ways you can look at the hint
**It is quite possible that Staten is talking about garbage trucks - thoughts?

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I think you made a new thread instead of replying to one.

I assume you're referring to the bit when the guy asks about Elephant travel and Joe says "when the game comes out you'll see just how true that almost was".

It sounds like there won't be Elephant travel, but something similar.

"Just how true that almost was"... Damn Staten, what did you mean by that?!

The super intendant has control of the citiys garbage desposal so I foresee this being a way round the city and the garbage truck will be similar to the elephant.

I think that the guy meant elephant travel as in actual, Indian "elephant travel", but Joe meant he was almost right because it wasnt real elephants, it was Halo elephants, follow me?

Hooray for elephants

"I'm a 40 in Team Spelling, but I have the most worstest time leveling up in Team Superlatives."

As silly as this seems, I took this to mean that there would be wild animals loose in the streets, like escaped from a zoo or something (ala "World Without People").

Of course, that's silly.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Garbage trucks smell better than elephants!

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Multiple times they say the SI control the garbage, they go out of their way to say it in the Demos. Maybe a garbage truck that moves the same speed as the ODST that the SI gives you access to?
This or what PainedHope13 said, that was my first thought, but then I thought that maybe Hilary(dude in interview) mean't actual Halo elephant, we should interview him and ask. lol.

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

Meaning that it's unofficially confirmed there's no Elephants, but other means of travel. Perhaps the monorail from Turf? >_>

I think you mean Terminal, but that's hard to implement in gameplay seeing as how it goes on one track at 100 mph.

Would be great to see elephants in action, maybe in one of the flash backs?

or better yet... Fire Fight?
