Iknowmorethanu, perhaps your name is correct and you do know more than me, but it seems your knowledge has been gleaned from the ravings of a lunatic.

I can only think of two possible things you are refferring to. Either you are reffering to the Covenant Engineers, which are big pink blobs that float around taking apart cars and putting it back together. In which case, they already have a name, Engineers. They also do not have wings.

Of course you could also be reffering to a picture of Mister Chief art draw by Frankie, where the Mister Chief says, "I think I hear a birdie." and a large gargoyle creature is flying over his head. In this case you would be jumping to a conclusion. Mister Chief art isn't necessarily a representation of the actual Halo 2 game.

He's talking about a new alien species he saw in one of the later weekly updates. There's a picture of it that Frankie drew, but I'm pretty sure it was a joke not a new species. But, the Battleground:Halo website pointed out that the third webcam has a new alien species on it. I can't tell what it is though because there's no light shining on it, it's too dark.

They've already said it's called a creep.

Look at the second paragraph of the Vehicle section. Reporters confirmed it during E3 2003.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

If its not called a creep then I was simply misinformed from a website.

As to Frankie's Mister Chief drawing, I think that "dragon," or whatever it was represents a covenant flying vehicle (or alien?), because its purple (if you've noticed, all of Frankie's Mister Chief drawings are symbolic of something... like his first one: The lightsaber was supposed to be a plasma sword, presumeably). If its a vehicle representation, I don't think its anything new (unless you count a Seraph as being new, since we haven't seen a picture). I think its actually a Banshee, since it has wings. If its supposed to be an alien, then it probably is something new.

But, there could be a new flying vehicle Bungie has yet to tell us about....

I think we are stuck in an endless vortex of names and i am so confused.

-OR-

If you're talking about the latest update, then I think the tiger represents the human ATV (which I don't hink you're talking about, b/c tigers don't fly), because the Chief has his hands forward as if holding guns, and the ATV, I think, you'll be able to do that on (no built-in guns, just what you have).

Other than that, I'm really stumped as to what you're talking about.

Ok, jesus. I confused my self trying to understand what everyone was talking about. Ok. The stationary turrets that fire plasma are called shades, the new covanent vehicle that has a shade mounted on it is called the shadow. The long bus like things you see in the streets alot in th E3 demo are called creeps, the big purplish flying things that dropped the brutes are called phantoms, they are the new covanent drop ship. Wraiths are the covanent mortar tanks. Hope that helps you out.

alright, why are you in every topic i read?

i agree that the tiger might be the atv (didnt even think about it, but yea, it fits with the animal names for human tech) but im doubting you can use two weapons on it (come on, even the MC can drive with his feet, or else the warthog would be the ultimate weapon with nothing but the driver). as for the dragon in the mater chef art, (YES i said chef, dagnet) i really dont think frankie was being symbollic as much as funny. unless you want to go back and say that, judging by one of the older updates, the new mjonlir armor will come in assorted flower patterns.

this might jsut be stupid but if anyone remembers way back when(i think it was just after the anouncement so like awhile before the e3 demo) in the xbox magazine theres a page talking about posible ideas in halo 2 and its mostly just joke stuff and they mention a tigertank...

im gonna go look for the article and ill post again in awhile

ok i found it september 2002 issue of oxm

page 44

under the vehicle section
and i quote
">tiger tank
Half tank ,half tiger, this four-legged furry vehicle is warm and cozy (you sit in a pouch on its back) but unpredictible and constantly hungry. if it sees a snack-able alien , it will pounceof its own acord."

a funny idea and it might be what frankie is making a joke about
