It's pretty neat that Bungie put the screens from Halo's early developement up for everyone to see. One thing that caught my attention was an early elite with a Covenant Sniper Rifle. THAT'S pretty scary. If Sergeant Johnson was deadly with one, how would an Elite with beefed-up AI do with one? I wonder if they will put a Covie Sniper in Halo 2 (I would love it and fear it at the same time).

And what about the fuel rod gun and flamethrower? Will they ever make it into Halo 2's single player campaign (or even the multiplayer... God forbid the Banshee is in multiplayer...)?

banshee, halo 2 multiplayer? DEFINATELY, its in the live scrreenshots firing form GI mag.

Hey look how good not only johnson, but marines are excellently accurate with the human sniper, even under halo1's worse AI engine.... now imagine a fully-trained PLATINUM elite with a sniper rifle (covie)

in the original game covies never used human snipers. Now Imagine some of the highest ranked skilled covenant warriors carrying deadly snipers, you would be pegged in the head easily at like 1000m as if you were a target as large as the sun. That IS scary. the game will pose a challenge, unless Bungie reads this and goes off and ***Cry*** reduces their aim/power:(
