Nothing huge here, but if you look in the wallpaper that shows the Chief walking, with Halo 3 in the bottom left corner, there is something interesting. Look at the reflection in the Chiefs visor. Towards the right hand side, you can see the reflection of two lights, which, upon closer examination, appear to be the engines of a military jet. Nothing huge, just that human fighters have never been seen in Halo before.


Does anyone else see this or am I crazy?

Actually, I just realized that there are human longsword fighters, but those are orbital fighters, they wouldn't operate in the atmosphere. So i still think it is a new human fighter.

i think you might actually be right. i can barely make it out as some kind of human fighter

  • 05.21.2006 5:53 PM PDT

longswords do work in an atmosphere (the one followed the spartan's pelican into reach's atmosphere until the serephs appeared) so if it is human, it is likely a pelican or longsword

Again, look at the screen shots, covenant capital ships dont have anyhting yellow on them, and the reflection defintiely looks yellowish.

It's just because the visor has a tint. Everything has a yellowish tinge to it.

yeah, definatly, though i think it looks like in Amber clad. you know, the whole two engines in the back? It's too big to be a new human fighter.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

*cough*

If the longsword doesn't operate in atmosphere, than how did Chief escape in one off Halo in the first game?

I dont even think that covenant ships have visible engine outputs on them. If so, I have never seen them before. And plus, if it was a capital ship, it would have more than two engines. In halo 2, you can see the back of a human ship, and it has 5 engines. A covenant capital ship certainly seems like it would have more than 2 engines.

Plus, it looks like if has a defined cockpit towards the front, and covenant ships definitely dont have that.

Then explain to me this--how did it get there? If you watch the WHOLE video, there isn't a human ship in sight. I highly doubt it came out of nowhere. After all, if it was a slipspace jump, there would have been an explosion like the one in H2.

Well, Earth is in ruins, so it wouldn't be surprising if human forces are scattered and alone. So, a lone fighter pilot flew through the air space by New Mombasa, only, we didn't see it because the trailer was focused on the Master Chief, and the jet flew in front of him. Now explain this, did the covenant suddenly stick two engines on the back of capital ships? In all of the halo games, I have never seen engines on a Covenant ship before.

Btw, at what time do these light show up in the Chief's visor?Because I just looked through it all and found nothing.

They might not be in the trailer, I havent looked at it since I noticed this, but this screenshot isn't straight out of the trailer. Bungie made it separately, so who knows? I will go and watch the trailer right now. But if it isn't a ship, then what is it?

The Covie ships do have visible engine outputs, look at them when they move in the trailer.

I'm not sure, but I think on Cairo when Truth's ship passes through Cairo, I think you can see the engines of his ship. I'll go wrestle my XBox away from my little brother and see...
