Subject: Marines on Zanzibar? (With Photographic Evidence!)

I was looking at this pic and i noticed that the Master Cheif and the ODSTs are on zanzibar! I dont know it was just set up that way for a nice screenshot or what, but it's zanzibar. Also, the MC's bumpmapping is toned down (info i got from another thread). The reason multiplayer is tom=ned down is to reduce lag on Xbox Live. Bungie said it themselves.

Why would you want Marines in multiplayer? Think of it this way. Team slayer with bots! You play against your friend, and each team has a spartan, and a bunch of AI controled marines? Do you think it's possible?

Yeah, I agree that it's definately Zanzibar, but I think that Bungie just wanted to show off how the Marines will look.

Edit* Even though I have XBL, bots would be sweet.

they are basing all their maps off things in the game. doesn't mean they won't be in multiplayer but doesn't confirm it either.

Ok number 1 those are ODSTs not marines. Number 2 they are on Zanzibar, look at the pic with the chief and ODSTs, then look at the pic of the elite crouching on the cliff and u can see below him. Now look at the background for the pic with the ODSTs and notice that the two trees cross, the big rock behind them, and the small branches in the top left. Now look at the scenery in the other pic and walah it is identical.

Now whether they will be playable or bots is remained to be seen. :)

O yea the pic with the ODSTs is not campaign because the graphics do not match campaign, they match multiplayer.

If you've watched the Halo 2 documentary, you may remember they said something about trying to make the multiplayer levels feel like single player levels... there's a chance the location around Zanzibar might actually be in single player.... Zanzibar's only one of however many abandoned power stations... so who knows where the single player game takes you.

IF bumpmaping was made to decrease lag , why would they tone it down that would make lag. And the thread you got your info from also said Bmaping was toned down , its just the lighting on armor playing tricks like light going into diffret creavases of the suit. So it looks shaded diffrently when your faced toward a light source diffrently.

the only thing i'm curious about is why you linked to a picture at gamespot instead of right here @ bungie.net???


why would you do that?

also, do you think that's really an in-game multiplayer screenshot? It's a bit staged and whatnot.... they can stick marines wherever they'd like at the moment. they could even have a hunter or brute sitting there hugging the master chief if they really felt like it. so yep.
