no way, it's a brute. w/a jetpack.


The head and skin are all wrong to be a brute.

brutes wearing jetpacks and weilding small weapons doesn't strike me as "brute-ish".

well...thats just it.

The face is wrong for a brute.....but its not quite elite like either.

And the gear that it is wearing is too shiny and fragile looking to be something a 5 or 700 pound brute would use.

theories theories....

it doesnt look like a brute. it could be a grunt just very very close up? with nothing to compare it too how do we know how big it is?
also in the screen shots being handed out you see three of the new(different) people. one in blue, one in a silver kinda version and it looks like some huge brown version in the back.

also on a quick note why is there a "grunt crossing" sign on earth? why would they make that? something to wrap your minds around

Well, for starters: that was AWESOME!!! If anyone else has Windows XP, you know when you download a file, there's a button that says "Clean Up" on the small "Download" window? Well, I thought it knew what had happened when I watched that video, I was worried for a second there.

Back to business...

Well, I think our best chance of uncovering something else is trying to read some of that developers text that was displayed when the two banshees flew by (the colored outlines and stuff). A lot of the text was overlapped, but I made out a couple of irrelevent things (note, a [...] represents a "WTF I can't read that?")

"...id_sign_flood" <<possibly "playerid_sign_flood", I'm not a mapper or anything like that, I don't really know many terms and stuff.

"prop_blast..."

"banshee_B_e" <<not sure about the last one, it's on the foremost vehicle (the one behind is a phantom

"...near_sideways" <<possibly "linear_sideways", although this is most likely just a developers term.

"_phantom" <<that one's obvious, it's in the distance, and apparently related to the "prop_blast..." one.

Other than those, there are a lot of "marker"s and "atmosphere"s. Those don't matter much, because they don't really "reveal" anything.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything else can be revealed from this screen here anyway, but it would be interesting to know what those lines of text say. Especially the:

"prop_blast..." and "...id_sign_flood" ones.

Can anyone else try their hand, erm...eye, at deciphering the developer's text?

NOTE: you will find this section of the video at (1:42).

I don't know about you guys, but i think the new playlist update sucks. I hate BTB Skirmish, why can't they bring the original BTB back? The new gametypes suck...

I saw many armored grunts with new weapons that was tight! I hope this time the grunts actually take battle formations and not those wimpy run and take cover moves. lol I thinking that theirs going to be new marine ships arn't there. "Fingers crossed" The HD version was amazing I had it on full blast and quite alot of sweet shiznit.

  • 06.07.2006 3:14 PM PDT

Grunts are with the Elites. Jakles are with the Brutes same with the drones. Flood are by them selfs.

Edit: I remember I kept joking with my brothers saying almost every cutscene was the ending of the game. Finally the last cutscene came and i said it. And master chief said he was going to earth to finish the fight. I was so happy because I loved when we were on earth. Then the credits started rolling. I was so mad I paced around my base for litteraly an hour and a half. I ran over and Kind of told my frien. (he hadnt beaten it yet) The next day at school i told everyone who wanted to know. I was so mad for a week i finally got over it about a month and a week later.

Those things on the screen are not Grunts, and are way to small to be Brutes. Another new race? but it definetely looks like a cross between a grunt and a brute... cross breeding? hahaha

Most marriage is based on love. If two people really love each other, gender should have no baring at all.

Well, I know that this is probably NOT true, but if if were.... wow. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!111!!!!!111!!!!!!

I heared and almost belived that Pimps at Sea is going to be a X-box 360 Marketplace download! Of course this is most likely not true, but I think we would all like to belive it is. :D

W()()()()()()()()()()()()()()T!!!!!111!!!11!!1!!!1!!!1!!1!1!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

--EDIT--

a about 2:56 the sketch the guy draws is really interesting.... It shows somebody labled "MUC" running away from somebody else in the distance. BTW thats not some stange abbriviation(sp) for Master Cheif 'cause below that is a drawing of MC labled "MC"

Above the sketch are the words "what is it that you see" in purple, and under it "something" in green.

purple=Cortana?
Green= MC?
I donno

Also I have too been trying to figure out the units on 3:01! But more strange are thier weapons.... They are blue and shaped almost like a human pistol, but there's a curved part sticking from the base and to the end on the bottom.... Also, there seems to be a needle in the middle of the curved part and the upper part, and it looks deadly. Sorry if my description was hard to follow.

GIGGITY I'm trippin!

Halo 3 multiplayer is frustrating.

Need this on the Marketplace in all it's Hi-Def glory.

Sweet new angles for showing off the game engine. The weeds blowing towards the end look so damn real.

Marketplace.....

Hi-Def.......
