GT: Greg Is So Hot

Hey, come to think of it maybe the covenant want to kill the humans because they have no single outstanding skill and would be worthless to assimilate! Ahahaha!

I Agree the plasma pistol is one of the best wepons in the game but its not always given much credit the wepon has never let me down in times of need/ most of the time i use the all the time.the AR is the worst wepon in the game if you ask me high rate of fire but it has puss damage and its very un accurate if jacals are such good damn snipers why dont they snipe if the covenate are so damn advanced you think they would have a sniper rifle

That was a great article and if you really want to know more you should read the novels. They describe so much that the game couldn't especially the ones that are written by Eric Nylund.

I've seen an Engineer. Thay're kind'a ugly. Look on yahoo pics for an Engineer and take a look for yourself.
I couldnt get a real good look at it(it wouldnt open it) but the thumbnail looked like an early version of the flood that was put in a screenshot with photoshop.<*see the pre-xbox halo screenshots*>

Hey Thanks Frankie im loving all the new info. But I Would Rather Play halo 2 And find out for myself. Hey thos how do we know that pic is acctually an enigneer ive read the books and read the descriptions and I seem to recall it saying they had many arms right? and that was a pic form the early early workings of Halo 1, so it could just be an ugly flood right? I cant say for sure I just dont want anyone jumping to conclusions.

More Halo 2 Info PLEASE!

Is it just me, or did Rick James on the Chapelle Show have some sort of profound effect on Halo multi-player? I mean, I know 3 different people whose names in Halo were Rick James at one point.

Hey Fallenzero lol, I do agree that the Plasma pistol is a pretty kick ass weapon and the AR is puss damage SOMTIMES! and is inacurate but dont put down my human weapons man ha ha dont give the marines bad morale lol! Anyways I acctually like the AR its alright im use to its downs and I more than make up for its downs in how I change my combat tactics with it,so my point is dont down on my human weps man.

I agree with Spartan, human artillery is the Shyst. Sure sustained fire from the AR sucks, but semi-auto fire combined with jukes side to side is pretty effective. And the Shyottie? C'mon man, that thing is the greatest.

Actually that IS a picture of an early engineer. Someone hacked into the Halo game and actually found completed Engineer models on the Silent Cartographer map. Bungie took the Engineers out right near the end when they realised they didn't really work with the unit balance.

It was all documented with screenshots a while ago on the forums at halo.bungie.org, but I just spent a while searching the forums but couldn't find the post. If someone else can find them that would be great.

100% unofficial. Something I knocked up about a year ago - it made the front page of HBO which made my week. I thought a few newbies might like to take a look.
