Subject: What do we know from the picture up above?

What can we figure out? That picture up there is just about as much info as we have so far on the subject, besides the things Bungie has given us hints on.

What I have figured out is that we have three new weapons. The large Spartan is holding some kind of turret or heavy machine gun that we have not seen. The Spartan to the right (our right) of the Spartan in the middle is obviously holding a Combat Knife. And the Spartan all the way to our right is holding a new Sniper. I have made a thread on this in the past but I'll just give ya' a summery of what I had stated.

No iron sight like the Halo 3 sniper had, different scope, some sort of box thing (I have no idea what it is called) coming out of the bottom of the gun right before the barrel begins, unlike all other Snipers have had in the trilogy, there is not a "needle" thing coming out of the bipod, and the barrel of the Sniper itself appears to be shorter than the other ones.

Apparently someone has stated in This thread, about the larger one having a silhouette similar to This Concept art.

Right, the guy under me originally posted that thread.

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Alpha Wolf Elite Squadron Ordinary Mammals Electrocuted. Click the Homepage.

The big one on the left is probably holding an EMP Rifle. Compare the pic to the banner.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

What do we know? We know nothing. We can only speculate.

People say that the 5 figures are spartans but there really is no evidence since we just see 5 silhouettes. The weapons don't really look like the weapons from the previous games. I guess the only thing we do know is that the planet is Reach.

And they don't look at all similar, because the one in the banner has a belt of ammo running from it.

There's a zoomed in version of the pic in the banner, and the "EMP Gun" looks exactly like the Halo 2 Turret.

Look at the EMP rife pic again. Maybe its not a belt of ammo, but its that black cord running from it.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

BTE's right, we don't really know anything. I don't like the Spartan theories as they always mention Sam (Considering the fact he died roughly 25 years before Halo: CE and the Reach campaign, I doubt he is going to be included). I'm more inclined to think that those are ODSTs up there, as the sniper looks like Romeo (In terms of the helmet at least).

Bungie will probably tell us something about the game soon, probably in November for the anniversary of Halo: CE (The 15th unless Halopedia is incorrect).

I hope so :)

we know that the story will consist of five bad-ass mofo's and comes fall 2010

  • 10.17.2009 8:24 PM PDT

What I see in that picture is that the one on the left is a Spartan holding a chain gun, and the other four are marines.

P.S.: Sam is dead.
