If that's a forerunner....

I haven't had time to read through all the pages in this thread, so forgive me if it's already been mentioned. I think dual wielding is remaining in the game. If you look at 2:57 in the video, you see a storyboard, with the chief holding two weapons at once. One looks like an Uzi (or SMG), and the other kinda looks like a shotgun, but I don't think they'll be letting you dual wield a shotgun. Maybe it's a plasma rifle.

I highly doubt that Bungie would toast dual-wielding anyway... especially since players could dual-wield in Halo 2. It wouldn't make sense to suddenly lose the ability in Halo 3.

Yeah I agree with pmaster_2001, Thats very unlikely of Bungie to do so, The least I'd think they'd do is have fewer duel-wieldable weapons, But then again, It depends on how many overall weapons there are, There could be 10 weapons, There could be 32 weapons. I think that aspect depends on how many weapons there are total.

Yep, toasting duel-wielding would mean they'd have to get rid of all single-handed weapons (or at least vastly reduce the number of weapons)... or else come up with a really really good reason why the Chief can suddenly not pick up 2 at once (like a broken arm, etc etc).

Heh, that's an interesting thought. Imagine breaking an arm and temporarily being limited to one single-handed weapon (or else vastly reduced accuracy in 2-handed weapons).. Interesting.

its probably just a new type of covanant that we havent seen yet, its very very likely that bungie would add more enemies to halo 3

  • 06.06.2006 10:26 PM PDT

(random yet funny signature goes here)

It's obviously not important if Bungie would let us see it this soon or this early.

Or they know how much this place LIVES off of tiny random glimpses of screenshots and renders... I think they were just being sadistic, because they had to know what kind of uproar it would create from the "ZOMG th30rY!!" guys...

You obviously do not know that much about bungie. Have you heard of the Cortana leaders? Bungie as put so much thought into this game for such a long time. It is amazing how many clues they have left us. Most of them without us really realizing it. This is important. That is a new gun. I am not sure about the creature though.

It's definately not a human. I'd guess a brute that started working out and eating better, a forerunner, or a child of an elite and brute. I'm being serious too.

EDIT: I'm referring to the first post.

EDIT 2: Look at the gun the thing behind the first one is holding. It looks kind of like the covenant rocket launcher (brain fart and I can't place the name)

Here's a thought (thanks to paintballa1259, you got me going in the right direction with the comment about Brute children) the creature is:

A female elite?

Or a female brute. I do wonder about that gun though.

A downsized version of the Brute-shot perhaps? It certainly looks similar as far as the giganto-blade goes...

Kind of like a pistol but for Brutes.

It's a Brute....I don't know how you guys think it's a Grunt....


That's the first thing that came to my mind. A Brute, with possibly some kind of armor or jet pack - WIth a head garment that looks nearly identical to the Arbiter's. Damn thief..

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

anyone got a screen shot of this grunt/different alien creature they can put up?

I think it's on earth, it looks somewhat like a drone, but what's the point of giving a drone a jetpack? It can't be an elite, the headpiece is too small. It's too small to be a brute, too humanoid to be a grunt, and the creature has a different posture than that of a jackal. Therefore, I feel it can be safely assumed that we have spotted a new race!


How can we be sure its too small? there's nothing to compare it to!
