Subject: The drinols(or whatever they are)

Some of you guys probably remember the drinols from the Halo 2 Limited Edition disc right? Well considering that the 360 has some massive power for it, it could be posiible to add the drinols in. Think about it, in Gears of War, you verse these huge alien monster things and the 360 seems to run the animation no sweat, just like in the upcoming game Hellgate: London(something like that, not sure if its for the 360). Your thoughts on the Drinol subject anyone?

my guess is theyre in. in conversations from the universe. 2 elites say something about: maybe using the (covenant alien name) against the humans soon

I really liked frankies response to the question what a drinol is: Very ffreaking dangerous :)

I always loved the drinol since I saw it...It will look much better on the 360 (if they add it)
but it shouldnt be a boss character you should run into it (or other of its species) a couple of times like 2-4 times

dont drive a warthog :)

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

If the Drinols will be in Halo 3, so will the juggernauts. That would be cool.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

The drinol just doesn't "fit" into the Halo universe, you know?

They might overshadow the hunters a bit, id actually prefer to see the flood juggernauts, those could be freaken scary if used in the right enviorment.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

maybe more flood forms

Flood jackals
Flood grunts
Flood brutes
Flood Hunters (could possibly become juggernaut?)

Bungie is going to have a problem when it comes to introducing new aliens into the game. It's going to be a problem because you can't just make them appear out of thin air, or else it seems retarted when it comes to the story line. When it came to halo 2, it wasn't such a big deal when the Brutes or Drones were introduced because we never got a good look into the covenant. This time around however, we know exactly how the covenant hierarch works. They might introduce the Drinol, because they've been mentioned before, but any other alien is going to require some fancy story as to why they weren't seen before.

i think maybe the drinols are like the prophets (except in halo 2). anybodys whos read the books knows that the MCs original mission was to kidnap a prophet (pretty hardcore). but after they landed on halo the mission got scraped, and we never saw a prophet in H1. maybe theyll just talk about the drinols and not put you up agaisnt one.

wait, what is the juggernaout?

  • 06.10.2006 3:12 PM PDT

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

the developers said that if they put it in that it would be a boss or something that you would fight with a vehicle. also imagine trying to fight them in flood form.

Flood Jackal=Carrier Form
Flood Grunt=Also Carrier Form
Flood Brutes=Now that would be sweet
Flood Hunters=Hunters cannot be infected because a single Hunter is made up of like hundreds of worms with one consciousness.
