Halo 2 is on this months OXM cover. Some sweet new screenshots and info. Such as wreckable vehicles, a little info on that mysterious covenant weapon, and vehicle boarding techniques. In one of the screenshots it shows an Elite throwing Master Chief out of his Warthog. I wonder if he is doing this to get in the warthog or just to yank him out considering the covenant hatred of humans.
The Purple Covenant they are calling the Covenant Carbine. They say that is like the covenant Battle Rifle. A good rate of fire with quite a kick and bullet chambers that auto-eject. They said that it might be there new favorite weapon.
The damage vehicle system looks awesome. The vehicles can get really beat up but it says that your vehicles handleling wont be affected. You can feel the damage with the force feedback in your controller.
You can also board an enemy craft by other ways than the hopping on the front. You cn jump on the back and punch the other character off of your new toy. It says that the vehicle cant be going to fast or you will just turn out to be roadkill. In one of the screenshots it shows an Elite throwing Master Chief out of his Warthog. I wonder if he is doing this to get in the warthog or just to yank him out considering the covenant hatred of humans and human technology.
Any comments or questions please. Hope this isn't old news I just got my copy today.

Why would this get locked or deleted? That's only for pictures. Now watch Shishka come and lock it just because I said that.

They stated that you can talk about the articles, just don't link or ask to be linked to the scans of the articles.

Speaking of which, I have read the article, I was wondering though... I've looked everywhere for the GI article and cannot find it, is there a place to purchase it online?

So for those of you who have seen the article, what do you think about the Elite taking the MC out of the Warthog?
