So I was browsing through the Xbox Halo page on bungie.net and found these little tidbits in the screenshots section, obviously from an earlier build of the game but funny and interesting none the less:

that elite didn't see it coming...
ha i wish! in multiplayer I'd nail someone from above like this :)

where the heck is this?
hmmm could this be considered another easter egg? Has anyone seen this in the game? I think I'm going to look, probably on PoA I'd say.

I need to get me one of those red shields
hmmm i think red shields were removed...i also think there's a pic. of a jackal with a turquoise shield....weird.

Cool pics, well the shot of the various beverage dispensors can be found in the pillar of autumn, in many different cubby holes throughout the ship, easy to find. And as for those red sheilds, i thought they just turn red when they are hit by stuff.

my guess would be... mele with Rocket launcher, Fast switch to Shotgun

Actually, you do melee like that. You just don't notice it. If you play in third person, or put all settings for audio and video on the highest (so you have a bad framerate and it will go slow) you will notice it.

in the xbox version, jackals had cool shields of many colors, and they changed color when you hit them. for example; a yellow shield would turn red if there was only a little energy left.
(yellow shields were held by jackie majors; the leaders)
the shotgun melee, though hard to see , does start over one's head. i'll post a vid if i can get one.
and finally, the drink dispenser is just outside the POA's cafeteria

Yeah, I always missed the multi-colored shields. Why'd Gearbox take it out? Laziness?

heres my theory about the shields:

the blue stationary ones: they are blue and turn red when you shoot them in halo on xbox. Halo PC: they are mix of red+blue=PURPLE

The jackal shields: they are blue and orange in halo xbox. they also turn red when you shoot em and stuff. Halo PC: they are a kind of mix of blue and orange: tealish green.

Jackal pic
theres blue and orange splotches on the jackal's shield.

shield pic
theres blue and red splotches on the shield.

EDIT: sorry its kind of hard to see. its more obvious in gameplay
