Subject: BUNGIE WEEKLY UPDATE!!

I'm inclined to agree with you, opsixdelta. I think MC will be riding one of the Covenant ships down to earth--maybe not a la Dr. Strangelove, but those cruisers do look a bit like pickles.

I'm really hoping for and pulling for this new mysterious vehicle to be the covenant transport and hopefully it will be playable in multiplayer. It makes too much sense, the chiefs have that transport that carries about six in mp already, why not give one to the elites, and best of all, the covenant transport comes with a stationary gun mounted on top.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

The new convenant vehicle could also be the Shadow. It has a driver and a gunner. But it could also be the Creep or another unknown vehicle.

Kinda funny really. New weapons and new vehicles is mind blowing, but for some strange reason Im just happy you can see the Chiefs legs when you look down =P (Or at least when you fall of a ledge anyway...) Thats something that always bugged me about first-person shooters. You look down and theres nothin there. (Uh...just so you know, talking about legs here...)

Good update Frankie.

When you look at Halo 2 and all of its features, you might think

"Damn, this thing looks awesome! Why doesn't Bungie release it now? It looks done."

Wrong! These updates show that Halo 2 ain't as ready for the market as we think. By the way, I'm the new guy in town.

When are they going to release the "real' E3 trailer. If you listen to MP trailer he said we will be playing 5v5 ctf at Zanzabar. Wich leads me to believe their will actaully be a trailer with real MP action

Sounds like the Brute weapon will be in MP.
I wonder if that's going to be any good?And what if they add Brutes to use in MP?But it could only be Brutes vs. Brutes or Brutes vs MC without his Shield(same goes for Elites)'cause Brutes don't have Shields(as far as we know).

Be patient it takes time to edit it so looks all nice and snazzy.

First no the Brutes are not going to be in MP, we have heard nothing to make us believe so. Second a Brute takes more sniper headshots to kill than both an Elite, and the Chief. They don't need armor obviously.

Sweet update. I'm guessing that "ride the pickle" means riding on the ship (like he does in The Fall of Reach and...I think...First Strike). Parts of the ship look like a pickle. I'd be interested to see if that's playable, though I doubt it, since Frankie referred to the sequence as part of the "videomatics."

And by the way...ANOTHER Covenant enemy? ANOTHER weapon? Sorry to state the obvious, but this is gonna be a tight game.

I don't know, Bungie is just goofly that way. And I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope (did I mention REALLY?) that they include an option to turn off vehicle damage. Us Warthog Jumpers have to be able to pull off our mad skillz without it blowing up halfway through!

nooooo, veichles ar SUIPPOSEDN to blow up! If you wanted some game with no story and rated a 2.5, then maybe play an old n64 game. Veichles are a huge part of halo2

  • 05.23.2004 8:38 PM PDT

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

I think Bungie will still let us have fun with the old warthog jump. I've heard it mentioned several times about people rolling core charges together on Zanzibar and parking a warthog on top.

The warthog will take damage, but you could still bang the chasis around until it blows up too, i guess.

I think the vehicles will respawn when destroyed on MP. They'd have to for the larger levels.

If you saw the E3 demo, you'd see the Rocket Hog respawns at least. what, 3 times? So yeah, looks like they do. Which would make sense.

As for Hog Jumps, I'm pretty sure with that much explosives lying around your gonna be able to make em go at least twice as high with probably half the effort =P

I didn't bother reading the whole thread here, so forgive me if Im repeating someone. As the two new weapons are concerned, Bungie says:



He's also added some new weapons to the mix, which of course we can't mention here, but both are VERY different from each other. Once you have a solid balance, like we did for E3, you have to add new elements very carefully so you don’t throw it out of whack.


So that means its not any of the known ones in this years E3. That rules out the SMG as Im sure we all guessed but also the energy sword. So Im guesisng as he also says their very different the Brute weapon and the Covenant Carbine. My guess i the Covenant vehicle is the Shadow its the only thing they haven't been explicit about and hasn't been seen in any in-game action yet as far as Im aware
