I would love if people would READ at least the first 3 pages so we stop getting the same (very obvious) comments over and over again.

Thats horridly ill-advised though, first off youd have to crank up the gravity field to ridiculous levels, possibly even damaging the equipment, 2ndly, even if you could, youd be sucking all the debris into your hanger. the gravity lift isnt a weapon by any means. why take the time to tear it apart when they can just slag it?? much less effort
It is possible to reverse the gravitational direction however remember Halo CE truth and reconciliation?

@ 1:31 just as the cruiser is slipping out, there is already a very large crater with a burning center, any ideas about that?? it looks like the kind of a hole a ship would make hitting the earth


I also saw that. The only thing I remember exploding in Mombassa was the Scarab, and it's not big enough to make that big of an explosion.
Remember Regret in Halo 2? They probably just used that beam weapon before going into slipspace. Jumpstart on uncovering the Portal I guess.

It wasn't a beam weapon, it was the ships Gravity Lift (remeber Halo CE?). The Gravity Lift can be used as weapon however, you can use it to tear buildings apart but NOT to melt them. Energy projector is for that.


No, that WAS the energy projector.

I JUST REALISED SOMETHING! Adam Baldwin is playing as Dutch! (do any of you watch Chuch?)

P.S. sorry if this is old news.

If you are not friendly, you will soon explode

at 1:20 through 1:25 look at the planet on the computer screen. Look familiar to the halo: reach trailer anyone? Someone please compare that

In CE, we fight our way through to that area, then the covies drop a few troops down the lift to fight us off. Afterwards, Cortana (i believe its cortana, seems stupid that the covies would change it for us, been a long long time) access the covie ship and reverses the polarity. The grav lift is EXCLUSIVELY designed to transport troops and equipment to and from the ship. its like a gangplank on a cruise ship, people and stuff walk up or down it depending on what theyre doing. same idea.

G-Lifts can move stuff both directions at same time... and i think the Covenant didn't dare to use Energy Projector (the weapon goes straight through any human ship) to destroy Delta Halo temple because the could have damaged the ring itself. In Halo: The Flood, a Prophet denies the Elite Fleet Master to fire at POA so close to Alpha Halo, he feared the ring might be damaged.

Also, the temple may have had some shield against energy weapons... Grav Lift isn't weapon directly so the shield wouldn't activate or wouldn't stop the Lift. But this is just speculation, let's stay on topic ok?

Easiest explanation to the molten area seen is that The Covenant were digging something there, maybe they thought the Portal was right there? We know its closer to Voi actually but Regret was in hurry *chuckle* I mean the human fleet versus single Assault Carrier, very bad odds for Regret


EDIT and why is it Gravity Lift? Look at the bottom of Assault Carrier and CCS-Battlecruiser, both have an ring-like shape.... and that's where the Gravity Lift is. Look at the cutscene in Halo 2 where the temple is destroyed, the Gravity lift comes right from the ring... Energy Projector is not in same place naturally.

I was more pointing out that they wouldnt fill up with debris.

And if it was the only option im sure the covies could make it a weapon.

@ 2:24 he says "We might be able to commandeer the city's garbage trucks if we needed."

I don't know if everyone was aware of that, but I had no idea.
yes this was said in a interview with G4 about how the superintendant so i guess that is logical

I'm a little disappointed that (as far as I know) you don't get to see In Amber Clad duck under the carrier as it goes into slipspace as you're falling down. I think that'd be a nice touch.

If you watch the whole intro... yes, it IS possible to see IAC to slip under the Carrier. Very hard the spot, not visible in the ViDoc or gameplay trailer but in full intro (there are videos of it), you can see In Amber's Clad.

What's the full intro? Could you give me a link?

Also this game looks SEXY! I cannot wait to play it on my 42" LCD HDTV with HDMI input. =P It's like sex times a thousand for the eyes.

Actully, you do. Its really small though. You really have to look for it.

maaan, the old melee system is crapy, using ur fists or rifle but to kill a brute, if u read the books, brutes are freakin tough, its not like a rifle butt would kill them, bungie should have made all the odst equipped with combat knifes and instead of using the rifle butt, use the combat knife as the new melee. that would make it more realistic anyone agree?



Now, because how quicly can you pull out a combat knife, slash/stab someone, and the return to your weapon?

besides its a -blam- video game.

Have you played Call of Duty?

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

Can we have still frames? I dislike reading all this stuff without being able to see it.

I found the video where I should be able to see it. But it's so low quality I can't. I guess I can wait till the game comes out.

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"

Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!"

So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.

Post any secrets that you can spot in the ViDoc.
I FOUND ONE!
Look at 2:03 in the ViDoc, and you will see and ODST running up stairs, but his secondary weapon is the old Brute Plasma Rifle from halo 2!!
At 2:35 you see a Brute shooting at the player with one.

Again, READ. THE. THREAD. at least a couple pages. Weve already established that the Brute PR is back, it was SAID BY BUNGIE.

Here is a question. It looks like the hole in the ground is the portal to the Ark but isnt the portal in Voi? If the game takes place in New Mombasa and you drop down to there, would Voi seem so close? And I thought it was said that the slipspace rupture uncovered it because they were looking for 'something', but yet it is uncovered before the ship takes off. So what could it really be? The portal possibly or just a crater?

You complain about people repeating the same information, yet you continue to repeat yourself at a much faster pace than the very information repeats you are complaining against.

Interesting...

We think its just a crater, evidence of the covenant trying to blow the marines away. Or its Regrets first attempt to uncover the Ark, just in the wrong place.
