Also, above the blue Spartan's head, you can see the triangle of three stars. I forget the name of that formation, but yeah.

Hello chaps,

The pictures look great, however is it just me or they look very "geometrical" ? do you plan to bring smoothness......or is it related to the rendering engine still being fine tuned

Keep up the good work

I waited with baited breath for an explanation of the "new" shotgun, seen best in the third pic held by the jumping red Spartan on the right. Looks like they've moved the light from under to the side....or is it a scope? That means it's now got two barrels ...and they're different. Perhaps one fires shot (as usual) and the other fires a slug. Perhaps that's the secret, diabolical new purpose of the X button, to switch between firing modes? Perhaps all (or most) have two firing modes?

On the warhog turret, does the ammo feed into the gun or does it stay still like the warhog in H2??

I for one can't help trying to analyse the settings.
We all know that Bungie often make their multiplayer maps with some context to the single-player campaign. Burial Mounds was on Basis (the moon near Alpha Halo), Ascension was on Delta Halo and so on.
My eyes are drawn to the world or moon in the sky in Snowbound. The setting is Covenant, and that world is clearly inhabited. And it looks alien, considering that the cities seem far to regular to be made by humans.
I for one can't shake the feeling that that's an important location, whatever world it is.

Riddle me this!

Map:Snowbound


Why does it say "Ammo (Unreadable" "Press (Unreadable)"?

Lazy Photoshop job? Or secret message?! O_O

Genius.This could also switch from Semi to Auto for other weapons, like the BR, or, (Extreme low chances) the Pistol, or even a Combat Shotgun of some kind.

Also, I`m assuming we`ll be able to hold in all Four weapons right?Because if you can hold the SMG on the hip, then you can hold another one on the other hip.Meaning you can have Two Handheld weapons in reserve, so, when Dual-wielding while having two weapons in reserve you have 4 weapons.Wicked.This could set new Ammo limits, using the trick to have 1 SMG in reserve and two in your hands, you could have even more Ammo!

Question to KPaul:

Hey In the picture of the spartan ridding "brokeback" on the mongoose and holding the flag, I have been thinking about it and when you hold a flag in halo 2 you keep both your first and secondary weapons. And if in halo 3 you happen to have sniper, spartan laser, and the flag wont it be kinda bulky or wat are you going to do about that ( if you had a small weapon and a big weapon there wouldnt be a problem and if you had to drop a weapon it wouldnt either.) Also I thought it was a very well done update and I think it beats 1ups.

WhAt?? Can you explain?

SMG, Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle. All will likely be in the Halo 3 game.

Problem?

I wanna know why the shotgun has two holes now.


They used to have a flashlightwhere the second hole is, but that dosen't look like a flashligt. Maybe it's a grenade launcher?

Nice Update, like that you went into detail.

In the Valhalla shot, how come there is a random white Spartan really high in the air? What other worldly force that can only be in Halo get him up there?
