Subject: New types of Covenant and Flood.

I was thinking about what MakaVeli said before (can't remember what thread, something to do with OXM). He reminded us all that Bungie said that Covenant will now be able to 'walk on walls'. I can't see any 'known' Covenant Alien doing this (Engineers float by the way), as they would look silly doing it. I therefore think there's a new type of Covenant.

Also because of this, if there is a new 'race' that can do such things as walk on walls, how scary are any new Flood Combat forms going to be! Discuss people, and give me your views.

Not true. If u look at Halo 2 renders u can see a white elite that is in the special forces. Meaning Special forces do things that normal elites wouldnt do. So walking on walls could be one. And when u think of walking on walls think of hanging off hinges.

Maybe by "walk on walls" they mean Matrix like moves? Its a possibility.

Sounds very unlikely that there will be a walking on walls covenant. It would give an advantage to that race only unless the humans had it too. But I can see a flood doing that.

Hanging off of hinges is cool. I just think it would look silly to see an Elite wall-walking though.

It could be some type of elite with suction. like a new stealth one. Or it could be a new reptilian type alien kind've like elites but able to walk on both 2 and 4 legs.

i believe the elites can do this now, not walking, but crawling. Say a rough surface or slanted walls? but i bet u could shoot em off. heheheh
I think it was stated that elites are more animal like too, so it would be a safe bet to bet on more interactions too.

The elites dont walk on the walls they jump onto the wall and use one hand to hold on to something and the other to fire with there weapon. That peace of info came from EGM, I also think it said when the grunts run away from you they can run faster bye going on all fours. (but i dont think I actually read the grunt thing)

Also look [color=gold] here [/color] and notice that Joyride are making a 'Top-Secret' Covenant Alien. This could be a clue (or it could be a Hunter model. They're making one this time by the way), but it could be a clue.

PS, did any of you see that on the Bungie Webcam yesterday (the one that currently has the Brute toy in, middle one), that they have a model of the new Red Spartan?! It looked cool. It was holding the new Shotgun aswell!

Nah its the elites that do the wall things, but the brutes might be able to do it as well.

Edit-

The top secret Covenant Alien is the Hunter I think. Joyride confirmed that they are making it (aswell as the Jackal) in an Email sent to Zamamee (Member here). And I think they said it's in series two aswell (90% positive), but don't hold me to it.

I've always thought that there would be a new covenant called something like the stalker or predator. Great Ideas Ruke.

There was. I wonder if it's Covenant (is it?) or Flood though, or neither! (Remember the Flood was a total surprise 2 1/2 years ago!!)

Irene, you will soon be knowledgable of everything Halo and Bungie. Just don't chat here please.
