Just like the Hunters, wraiths and Drones are joining them in " The scary zone."

I know most of you have seen these two video's but look how those wraiths dominate and those Drones kill -


Scary Wraiths from 3:25 - 3:50
Scary Drones - At the start!

And from I've heard, there is a new shielded varient of the Drone.

  • 07.29.2009 4:54 AM PDT

watch this at 7:57

you can see the red blasts coming from the drones, and after killing one he walks over it and it asks if he want's to pick up the brute plasma rifle.

i see red, green and pink blasts flying around.

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

drones = ammo sponge. i'm not afraid of them, it's a matter of dodging the wraith blasts while taking slow methodical shots at the drones to conserve ammo... there id the issue

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Whenever you see a wraith shot just jump into the air and go through it. It only hurts when it hits the ground or wall or ceiling. But yeah they are pretty scary, I will be doubling my hijacking in ODST from H3 and H2 combined.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

I wonder if we can get picked up by drones...lol

In Soviet Russia, Halo plays YOU!

At lest the Drones' needlers can't explode, the guy had at least a dozen needles in him!

Does anyone know if we can actually drive the Wraith if we can kill the driver and gunner?

Charge...BACKWARDS!

Yea, it looked like a blue flash, then the drone died. I also so saw the brute plasma rifle shots, could be the VISR though, although I doubt it.

My as well give grunts, hunters, jackals, wraiths, and phantoms shields, too.

I have an opinion to the drones. What if a skull in firefight makes them like that? Shielded, different looking, different guns. Kinda Like thunderstorm skull.

Edit: whoops double post

I'm not really aware of this, but when you seem to " Hi-jack" the wraith it explodes...but you might be able to kill the gunner from a distance and try your own theory out, but I'd stay aware of the phantoms while your doing so.

1. The Drones sort of waste your ammo. Yes, but if you saw the gameplay in the second video you would see the Drones are capable of killing.

2. I know about dodging the Wraiths, but it's the situation your put in. In the first video you can see the state there left in at 3:50.

"Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken!" -Tyler Durden

It did definitely look like some of those drones were shielded. And imo drones effectiveness has always been the situation they're thrown at you. If, like in the first vid where they are essentially flying straight at you in a big open area they really are pathetic even though they are flying they don't have much of an advantage as they're not actually flanking you and have no cover.

I think the best example of drone effectiveness is in the H3 campaign, the Storm mission I believe. When going through one of the buildings you clear a room and then a swarm of drones drops through the roof, suddenly you've got to fire straight up and try and find "cover" that will work for you in such a bizarre combat situation, on higher difficulties this swarm will rip apart your ai allies and you in seconds.
