ok, play the trailer and pause it at 3:02. what are those figures on the computer screen? new carachters?

and at 1:32, you see part of the cortana transmission without backround music or visuals. you hear part of the ambient noise from the 343 guilty spark swamp.

I heard that noise too.

And as for the new characters, the forums are pretty much torn in half with either Brutes with jetpacks, or Grunts with jetpacks. I personally think they look like Brutes, but w/e.

and also, what are the charachters in line after the first one? i think the second is mc (and now that you mention it, it sort of does look like a brute with a jetpack)

also, what weapons do they have. they look different than anything else ive ever seen in halo.

They look like the elites Ranger (jetpack) armor, but missing parts, and brutes are underneath.

it can be grunts on thier methane planet...so tahts why they dont have their mask on their face...
& you can see that the others behind the 1st one dont have any "jet pack" equipement as people call it & that its really hard to tell wot they really are.
-->usually grunts have this snake lezard reptile skin wich you cant see there.

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

i personally think they look like marines with jump packs. considering they are working with elites now. either that or brutes

The debate is that they are either brutes grunts elites or something new. I think they look more like grunts because of their posture and the fact they only are only holding 1 one-handed gun just like grunts in Halo 1 or 2. I can see where people could get confused with the angle of the camera making the grunts look as big as brutes. What exactly the gun is currently unknown. It looks pistol-like to me which makes me believe they are grunts even more because brutes never carried any sort of pistol in Halo 2. Also the jetpack looking backpacks they are wearing could easily double as less bulky methane tanks for the grunts. Plus the fact that if the elites grunts and hunters are indeed allied with the humans against the brutes jackals drones and remaining prophets it would make sense to give grunts jetpacks so they could be more powerful at countering drones and jackals.

First of all, we don't know if the Covenant civil war has been extended to an alliance with Humanity.

But I do think those things look like Grunts, considering their rather short and stocky proportions, their gray skin, and the way their arms hold the new guns.

Again, the second character in line is not the MC. It looks almost exactly the same as the first character. I believe it's a grunt, it looks like a turtle with teeth to me (like all other grunts look to me).
