Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Boarding:

* based on their report it appears you can in fact board (vehicle-takeover) every vehicle, including tanks and Banshees
* you can board a variety of ways (from back, front, left , right) as long as the craft is moving slow enough
* you can choose from attacks during the boarding process to dispatch the driver
* Elites and Brutes are confirmed for boaring




Can't wait for "boarding" sounds like they made it kick-ass.

The new OXM is frickin' amazing. The vehicle information is what I really love. The new boarding tactics sounds unbelievable, and the vehicle damage should be a sight to behold. The ghost "after" picture is so detailed. The fact that you can see the blue plasma burning inside is very cool. We might be seeing all of this in action at E3 in one week!

* the new Covenant weapon is the "Covenant Carbine" with scope (claiming to be a soon-to-be-fan-favorite)



In regards to this new weapon, does it overcharge like the rifle, by firing too much ammunition too quickly, or does it overcharge like the pistol, with a powerful plasma blast, depleting the enemy's shield? Also, will they include ammo or battery packs for the Covenant weapons in 2?


There's no indication, but it includes the "auto-reload" whatever that means. They said it was one of the most interesting weapons the game will offer, and also made it sound like the Brute's weapons shot actual bullets. It would make sense if they didn't use the same technology as the rest of the Covenant because they belong to a different class that apparently doesn't work well with the other classes. Elites and Brutes hate each other.

I think that they said the Brute's gun shoots hot metal slugs. Basically a really hot piece of metal that blows up. I'm probably way wrong though, I think it said grenade in First Strike.
