Well you might have noticed this but in the first immage there is MC next to two ODSTs.
Do you think that those could be bots because all the new screens are for multiplayer. what do you think.

It might be a mag. cover. Like the other one, with MC looking out the Pelican, or when he's sliding down a thing with explosions behind him?

The single player game has TONS of self-shadowing/realtime lighting. That screen has none, which means its from the multiplayer.

Therefore we know that ODSTs will be in MP, but thats it...

Thanks for all the info Bungie [/sarcasm]

You think that multiplayer has no shadowing whatsoever? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

there is shadowing
but no SELF shadowing which means you cast shadows on yourself

Yes, that's what I thought as well. Because the Spartan's armor in the picture is a lot lighter shade of Green than in Single-Player. If those are BOTs or skins, than the Covenant equivilant would be the Brute. Both are bad-ass on the battlefield.

Hmmmm... wont bots be all weak without the shields if they're grunts and ODST's? I mean compared to the Spartans and Elites the bots would be just cannon fodder... actually that sounds like fun!!

But if your playing on your own against some bots like this then that would just be too easy.... I think.

Also if the ODST's are just skins then how will they incorporate the MJOLNIR(sp?) shield??

Here is a quote from an interview of Pete Parsons at E3. This was done by IGN:

IGN: Are there going to be different types of covenant to play in multiplayer, such as Brutes?

Parsons: I think you'll be playing as Elites.


Its kind of funny how he really didn't answer the question. Perhaps Brutes and ODSTs will be playable characters in multi except they will balance each orther out by not having sheilds? I don't know, but I think its great enough that we get to play as Elites now.

Can anyone tell what the ODST being blocked by MC is holding. I can't quite make out what weapon he has.

Isn't it weird that in the books and game the Marines always suck? That was one of the worst things about Halo, the stupidity of the allies' AI. I seriously hope the ODSTs are a lot smarter than the original Marines, because only ass-kickers deserve to wear the awesome black full-body armor that sci-fi enthusiasts have come to know as a sign of badassedness.
