The non spartan cool looking armor is definitely an elite. They're wearing it because they joined the humans, and they can't wear spartan looking armor because of their head shape and such. I'm very sure about this, but it is just a strong guess on my part.

Awesome update. I am wondering if that funny armor is one of the surviving Spartan 2s. If you remember correctly, in First Strike, Dr. Halsey had armor upgrades custom for each of them. It could be the upgrades for that particular Spartan.

Sry to burst your buble, but look at the legs. Elites have Dule Jointed legs (not to mention backwards) so it couldn't be the case. My thought is that it is the Next genoration of spartans.

We could be staring at a huge hint/easter egg for halo 3. The armor in the cover art seems outdated, and so does the gun, but maybe it's the other way around. what if that armor + gun appear in halo 3?

just a thought... (and yes, i know the books aren't directly related to the game, but there are some elements that can translate to the game).

A very nice update, Frankie! The cover for the novel also looks very nice. It looks like this book is turning out nicely, and i'm looking forward to reading it.

holy crap the ark might be on onyx and the arbiter and miranda keyes + johnson might meet up with the new spartans or the ark might be the big thing opening up in the the H3 trailer

A witty signature.

Is no one going to mention the gun? It's not a BR, look closely! Could it be an MA3B? *mind bursts*

I dont think the person in the new armor is a spartan. spartans were very large due to their enhancements. The person is rather small, and the armor doesnt seem as bulky, possibly lighter so that a marine or hell jumper could use it... marines with energy sheilds now?

Whatever the "crazy looking non-Spartan armor" is, I don't like it. I hope it's old outdated armor, and not what Spartan-IIs or Spartan-IIIs will be wearing. Maybe Ackerson's knock-offs or updated ODST armor. Maybe even the basic marine space combat suit (or wherever else there isn't sufficient pressure/oxygen so sustain human life).

I'm still in love witht he assault rifle....give it some umph (whether it be more power or more accuracy) and keep it looking the way it does and I'll be a very happy camper.

Edit: marines with energy sheilds now?
That would be sweet too, and would make for a good turning point in the war. Shields do no good if the marines are still stuipd as hell though.

Cool SMG/rifle Thing type of rifle people, this is very tempting, I sound awfully calm but am not,I am uncontrollebly exited of this Weapon.Look close and you see that Master Chief is Holding a Rifle a little different than the odd Armored Dude,so,I conclude one of `em is Auto and the other one isn`t, because what is different between the wierd helmet boy and Master Chief, that detail on the side of the rifle, which The SMG has..Its the SMG replacement and/or Battlerifle replacement or somethin, cause SMG may be good dual weilding, but needs desperate improvement.

Earlier today September 8, 2006 at 8:00 P.M., Bungie sent an e-mail, effectively shutting down a mod of very considerable value to the Halo fans and mod watchers around the world, Halogen. Halogen is a mod that combines Halo and the long standing Command & Conquer series to make Halo a RTS game. Bungie has pulled the plug on this mod because they thought it was 'infringing on the intellectual property of Bungie Studios'. Now all the things they made where made by themselves with using Halo as its base to go off of because they wanted a mod that was an RTS but used Halo instead. Now because Bungie "waited" for the mod to become a real threat to them, they sent them the e-mail 3 years, yes 3 YEARS after they started this mod with a huge amount of it done they stopped them, even though Bungie new that Halogen was a non profit fan based mod that would not harm them at all in sales. As i see it, Bungie had purposely taken 3 years of these men's lifes away from them along with whats left of what they had done for 3 years. Now I am a humble mod watcher, but seeing this kind of foul play made by a corporation of this size makes me take action for this wrong doing. All i am saying is one thing, BRING BACK HALOGEN!


Holy crap I've been waiting for that mod forever...It's the sole reason I bought command & conquer...to have a Halo RTS.

My bet is that MS has plans to publish an RTS in the Halo universe...and can't have a free one floating around the internet for those who already have command and conquer.

I feel sorry for those guys.
