FIRST: If you've seen the brief trailers on TV about the new movie "Troy," then you'll agree with me that the Shields some of the warriors carry are almost EXACTLY the same as the Jackal's. Only...not glowing....They're still all circular and have little notches in them!!

2nd: I've read all three Halo novels at least twice, and always take note of the Hunters' brotherhood bonds in combat. I was playing Assault on the Control Room today, and noticed a very poor example of this: After you get the Scorpion and advance to the next area, you're supposed to head down the slope underground, right? Well, i was in the Warthog, with a Gunner and the Sarge sniping in the passenger. Playing Co-op, my real-LIFE friend was in the tank. The Hunter pair decided to clamber up the slope - perfectly in-step with each other, side-by-side - as i was distracting the Wraith, and LITERALLY must have fired their Fuel Rods into each other's back no less than 4 times. It was hilarious! I know they put their weapons down when YOU get close, so as not to harm themselves, but i guess the proximity logic only applies to the enemy...

3rd: Why hasn't there been a "Platinum Edition" of Halo for XBOX? You know, like Max Payne and Morrowind, with the cool label and Silvery box-color?

4th: Has anyone looked at the image on the game CD and noticed that the Chief, who's driving, is indeed in the RIGHT-HAND seat?

5th: Anyone ELSE noticed that, in the Maw, when Foe Hammer comes careening in through that little underpass, both Banshees on her tail, that the Enemy Fliers are indeed...OPEN? i dunno about RIDER-less, but certainly wide open.

6th: If the Marine in 343 Guilty Spark, the one you find before you discover the Flood, who has isolated himself behind the Covie crate, who fires his pistol at you as he whimpers and screams and rants about his encounter with the infection forms? How he recalls that he "played DEAD," and the little bastards completely over-looked him? Is this merely an extremely rare chance, or a very effective defense against the most horrific death imaginable? (One reason to read The Flood is to have a first-hand look at how the Flood assimilate your body and -blam!- your mind of all it's memories, all your defining moments and traits.)

7th: Anyone who's ANYONE has played DOOM, at LEAST once. if you haven't, you suck. ANYWAYS, we all know that if you line it up right, enemies will occasionally hit one another - and then turn on each other. I know there's the whole Covie Caste in existence, but say a Grunt empties a charged Plasma pistol plume into a Jackal's back - could the Jackal retaliate? Grunts ARE considered lower....actually, the LOWEST....and what if any one of the lesser species fires upon an Elite, or even a Brute? Wouldn't it be AWESOME seeing an Elite like BACKHAND a klumsy Grunt, or a Brute punch a gaping hole in a Jackal with his Slug-Gun? I personally think that'd kick ASS.


Thoughts? Ideas? Personal experiences of the remaining little insignificant follies of Halo 1?

The only reason I can think of why they haven't put it out on the platium hits is because Halo is still bring home the bacon for microsoft and bungie. They might put it on after Halo 2 comes out.

Good point. Besides, Halo looks a lot better [color=green] GREEN [/color] anyways.

I hate those platinum hits boxes, I think they look retarded, but that's just my opinion. I am also very glad they haven't changed the boxes to much from the original for Halo as I traded my original in with my xbox for the Halo SE Xbox. It would have really pissed me off to get a platinum hits case with it. Although that's stupid they put a not for resale sticker on my new one... oh well, I don't plan on ever selling it anyways. But also, aren't they still charging like 30 bucks for Halo, it's not until it's dropped to $20 that they'll stick that stupid silver casing on it. And that won't happen until it stops selling good.

About your last point, I have seen an elite kill too many of its own grunts, and then watched as two nearby Hunters ripped him apart with fuel rod fire.

All of your questions asked, I have thought myself. What would happen if a grunt got mad at at a Prophet, and shot at it? Would the prophet shoot lightning out of it's butt and stun it, and then kill it? (Props to Rip-Saw!)

I think it would be the funniest thing ever if a grunt got backhanded... maybe an easter egg? "abusive elite"

Well I don't know about Elites killing Grunts but in the new OXM it says "Elites don't like Brutes, and Brutes don't like them - and most likely you'll see some of this in action." So maybe the Elites and Brutes will fight for power or something.

In Halo: The Flood, grunts are TERRIFIED of even the Jackals, so if any mistake were to occur with frinedly fire, i doubt it'd be involved with a Prophet, seeing as how they're non-combatants. Then again, If you've seen the Animatrix, some random grunt could grow a brain and start a revolution, like that creepy robot did to that fat lady's head. Friggin' banana split. OR, you never really know where combat will bring you, so if the situation DOES involve the Prophets, friendly fire blah blah blah, i have no doubts that a full recto-lightning-strike would ensue.

Yah, i know. the only REAL frineds i have are Cortana and my fellow SPARTANs. Hope Linda makes it into Halo 2.....mmmm.... Lindaa...

Also, Elites versus Brutes would be pretty scary....then again, a simple plasma grenade can settle their dispute, quite nicely might i add.

On Pillar of Automn, when you see the 3 Elites and Cortana says "Looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping", I went to the window and meleed it, all three looked at me and one of the blue ones was behind a red one while the other blue was all the way at the left. Well the blue Elite kept shooting the red Elite trying to hit me, but the red Elite didn't do anything except shoot the glass.

sweet.

I also recently recall i time i was close-quarters, toe-to-toe with a Red elite in AotCR, and he managed to plw ahead with a melee attack right into two jackals behind me. both luched back, and then were thouroughly RAPED by the plasma nade i stuck on the Elite's spine.

I noticed the Greek shields in Troy looked similar to the Jackals when I first saw the trailer. Probably just a coincidence but Halo has refurred to Greek mythology before, most evident the name Spartans.

i noticed one thing in the level 343 Guilty Spark. once you meat the flood and get the objective Escape! go down the first elevator and then when you get throgh the door to the next room there will be three marines that jump off the ledge and onto the main floor. iv never been able to save them because the flood get to them first.

I know they weren't involved at all with the fall of Troy, but it's still near that era.

Now, Who would win in a fight: Brad Pitt or a Legendary Jackal? I say the Jackal. He WAS good in Fight Club, though.

Very insightful. Maybe they'll give Grunts horse-drawn Ghosts, or tie up some Brutes for a good Arena match.
