The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

I definitely doubt it. He was playing the E3 build of Zanzibar and the Warthog has no boost in that build. I think he meant to say Ghost.

i remember reading about the boosting hog but then i read something almost immediately that made me want to discredit it. oh well that was a while back and its fuzzy so who knows, but i have to say the general consensus and most likely fact is that the hog wont boost.

He never directly said he "boosted in a hog." He was talking about driving a hog, and then he simply jumped into boosting across the map or something like that.

when did they confirm the fuel rod gun was officially gone. id like a link to that please if you can supply it. im not saying that it wont be gone(it very well might, and id probably like that too) but we cant be 100% sure till the game comes out or they confirm it. who knows, i can easily see the fuel rod gun being used with the y button. it wouldnt affect it at all in my opinion.

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

Amen to that. Since I have Halo for Xbox, I just decided to download the HaloPC trial to see what was different, and I must say, when you see the list of games to play, almost one out of every four games says something along the lines of NO BANSHEES or similar meaning. It needed to be weakened, I think, and I'd be happy without secondary fire on a shee.

The only problem with removing the FRG is that it turns the Banshee into a flying Ghost. If the FRG is gone it will need alot of health and a more powerful plasma cannons.

Well the rocket hog and the rocket launcher both have the lock on thing(which is kid of annoying cuz its turning into a newb cannon). as much as i lovwe the banshee and would hope to god that it has frg it would really be TOO powerful i admit, but still with the new lock on thing, shooting banshees down, is gonna be like fish in a barrel. and for all of u who r concerned about the frg, look at the recent photos there absolutely no sign of anything related to the frg, just the primary fire weapon..............still i hope there will be an frg because the only way to kill people in a banshee would to go completely comacasi.

i do find a certain satisfaction in going completely kamikazi (in case you were wondering on that spelling). I'm sure whatever bungie does decide to do it will all be adequately balanced.

Yes i wasnt quite sure how to spell thank you (not being sarcastic). i too find great pleasure in going KAMIKAZI. and i also beleive that bungie will make it balanced.
