After the guy jumps onto the platform with the guy with the rocket, he jumps down. when he gets down, a ghost explodes. then another spartan appears on the left side of the screen for about 2 seconds firing a weapon that i have not seen before. it's not the battle rifle because the tip looks "flat". it fires like an smg but it doesn't look like that either. another thing is, in halo 1 you have green triangles over your teammates head. in this video there is a bunch of different markers on the screen. some red, some yellow, and the yellow ones even stay on the side of your screen even after whoever it points to isn't on the screen. what do these markers symbolize? another thing is at the end when the elite with the flag tries to escape and jumps like crazy but gets gunned down. he lands next to some glowing wreckage or something. what is that? here is the link

The markers look like the customized symbols that are on your armour. Hard to tell though. If so... awesome. You'll be able to figure out where your friend calling for help is almost instantly if you now his Icon.

I think this is what Frankie was talking about when he said that you'd no longer get creamed as you desperately try and figure out how to describe to your friend's where you are. "I'm over by the.... uhm... tall rock thingee and the oh crap... the base is to the oh crap... never mind. I'm dead."

The "flat weapon" looks to me like a SMG held in two hands. All the weapons in the Multi-player demo were listed by the reporters who've been allowed to play it. They wouldn't have held back so you know it's not something you haven't seen before.

Finally, that last charred piece of sparking slag looks very much like the wasted ghost you see in the MP demo movie.

i did link it up there, but you have to click on the low resolution one... i believe it's the WMV... the very first movie file in the link above. IT'S FREE. I DID NOT PAY TO SEE THAT VIDEO MYSELF.

GameSpot has it. You have to join (it's free) and download their "download agent" first. Download it, don't go streaming. You get better quality (And get to watch it over and over)

I don't think it is. I don't have a subscription to IGN and can see it perfectly fine.

As for the mystery weapon, as someone above said, I think its a SMG.

IGN has probably run out of sockets. (A computer can only connect to so many people at once) I had to sit there clicking "save as" on the 222 MB demo for two hours straight until I managed to snag one.

Try again tomorrow when it's less popular.

There once was a Master named Chief
who liked to smash Covenant
teeth,
He filled out a docket,
And picked up a rocket
Which brought all the bad guys to grief.
this writen by THE MAN Frankie. from his OXM days

did you notice the ghost has a charge up shot like alien pistol now too.

AppleJacks... look up. Frankie talked about it on one of his updates. It's a "revolutionary" new icon system that will solve all your MP problems. (Or so he claims)

Well, Draerden covered it pretty well. Except I don't know about the new symbols. I know that the new HUD will remove text information like "low ammo," and replace them with new icons. That will be a really cool new feature. I just don't understand how it works yet...

The glowing piece of wreckage is the destroyed ghost.

You missed something though...when the MC drops off the platform, you see his legs. There are tons of little blips of new things found in these clips. You have to look really hard for some of them though.

ok from wat i saw, you are able to see both the icons but the only symbols that have arrows on them are your team not the others, also the arrows stay on the side so you know where your teammatea are. thats wat i saw

Yeah, I think the Icons give the locations of your players, then maybe places the emblems on their shoulder in side? Or puts something to determine different players

you're probably right, but it's not like they had that stuff in halo 1... there was green arrows above your teammates heads, and having it different colors in halo 2 shouldn't make a difference. if you look closely at the vid, there's symbols inside, and everytime it shows one, the guy is on the screen... which sorta rules out the thing frankie was talking about, coz what he was talking about was a way to make finding your friendlies easier when they are really far away... but easier than seeing them when they are already on the screen? oh and flight 271, i did notice MC's legs, just thought everyone else knew already...

Looks to me like their personal emblem. Each one of your allies, and none of your enemies have an emblem over them at all times and each one looks different and after all... wouldn't that make sense?
