go here and read, then come back

Now I have no idea whether this is a fake or not, but one of the maps is called "Ivory Tower", which rang some bells.

The Ivory Tower is from a book called The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende. Now normally I would think this is just a simple coincedence, except for the fact that on page 295 of the Puffin Books edition, it also mentions "Zanzibar".

Coincedence or not? Probably is, but it could make some interesting discussion. So go, discuss.

Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you?
Well do your worst. [DOOR SHUTS!} Hey, he locked the door.

i really hope some things in that writting of the beta will be changed for the real game. how could they get rid of the fuel rod gun on the banshee. it was the best weapon. without it the banshee is just a high flying ghost. i want the fuel rod gun back on the banshee. but i stiil want the boost.

I already heard about the Covenant sniper rifle. So i guess that's all but confirmed. I wish that the guns sounded a bit more even though. Like the covenant guns sound way better than human guns...

After 22 years another championship flag is up in Boston,
the 17th Title on the 17th of June, 2008

Yipppe! LOOK:

MAGNUM- So there it is. The pistol. I hope all you pistol crazy people are
happy, it's there. Honestly though, what game doesn't have a pistol? It HAS
been toned down though. I couldn't tell about the amount of damage it did,
but it only has a ten shot clip and no scope. It still has the same shape as
before, but it is completely black.

Yes I Am now in heavan. L o L

1) ive never seen this info before..

2) is he talking about the covie carbine?
BEAM RIFLE- OMG OMG OMG new weapon! The covenant Beam Rifle is the
equivalent to the human Sniper Rifle. It has the same scope power, two times
and ten times scope. The main difference is that like all other Covie
weapons, it does not have to reload. This allows you to stay scoped as long
as you want. It has 100 charges and drains 4 charges with each shot, so you
do the math. However, it does overheat, and will do so after two rapid
succession shots. If you have patience though, you can keep up a steady
stream of shots without overheating.

if u did not catch that it has 2x and 10x scope, that is wrong, it is 5x and 10x

edit: and when you walk over the Carbine. it says beam rifle instead of carbine
