So far we have nothing really, Dual wielding doesnt count as one, Mark V could probably do that.
Sprinting? Mark V could do it. U
Maybe a stronger shield, new vision modes for the HUD (night vision, thermal, motion tracking)

She had close to no memory left. The thought probably crossed her mind after they died.


she's a computer right? well why doesnt she get upgrades also? why cant doctor Halsey make her a memory upgrade or something?

probly a cooler HUD stuff like that. you probly wont b able to tell the difference in the game. they will just tell you that you have better shields and that you are resitant to lasers ect... pby the way please stick with the topic and ask questions about the books

you do realize...that the covenant are about to attack earth. and Halsey was bottled up in a friggin cave. C'mon be real they have no time for upgrades, unless it is for the war effort.

I think we'll be able to notice it. Bungie says they have some secret cool upgrades in store for us.

I have a question. I've heard a lot about other SPARTANS (I know virtually nothing about the books) but want to know who are they? How do they survive Reach getting destroyed? Do they survive the 3rd book and so are they likely to be in Halo 2? Any info you have on these guys would be good.

by the way what do u guys think that the MJOLNR mark VI armors upgrades will be? i think it will have double the sheilds as mark V armor becuse it said that some of the spartans got a few upgrades wile on reach


Among the official stuff is: Higher jumps, a different shield system, sprinting and the mobility and strength to be able to board vehicles... Other than that, who knows?

you acually dont know that halsey was running away i think it was to things that sh was doing ... 1. going to find the other spartens that were gone when reach was attacked or 2. getting the new armor upgrades or getting the new armor all together.

dude the upgrades were in the books, asking someone what upgrades they think will be in the mark VI armor is like asking someone where they think dr Halsey went

Most likely. Because Cortana mentioned when she copies herself she also copies the deffective parts of her code. And since the Copy copied more copies then there were errors everywhere.

And the admiral went down with the ship probably because of pride and wanting to make sure cortana didnt screw up, as you said


if cortanna was so woried about the copies screwing up why did she send the master cheif into an alien space station with one?


no other choice

i mew that i thought he was talking about upgrades that would effect the game. do you guys think that the humans will be able to get the new orbital MAC platforms up and running in time for the covy attack?

We can only guess, maybe, maybe not.

Even if they do, we know they start to invade earth as we see in the E3 2003 demo.
So even if they were up and running it would jsut delay the inevitable.

Yeah and we were talking about upgrades t hat would effect the game lol

Like in reach lol. Also i don't think the Covenant only invade earth. They seem to invade another human planet as seen here Clicky

It looks like a moon in the backround BUT, upon closer inspection that doesnt look like our moon folks, unless humans terraformed it to make it inhabitable without an atmosperic bubble-like city. Clicky again

Although it doesnt look like a covenant invasion is taking place. I don't see any covenant ships...maybe a flood attack? Theres Nukes going off everywhere.

well i no it has somthing to do with the game but maby its just like for a poster or wall paper. there is multiplayer drawings that dont have ne thing to do with a certain level. it was just what the artist wanted to draw.

Yeah but those are concept sketches in black and white most of the time, these are print art, used on magazines and such. Most likely having to do with the story.

If you look at this one, it seems theres other Spartans going against MC...maybe Ackersons version of Halseys spartans? Since he did hack into her files and checked out all the Spartan specs and the armor specs. Click
