If you look in the middle background of pic 2 there is a guy with dual wield guns. I cannot figure out if those guns are smgs, or some new gun! Do you guys know. Also I wanna know if the plasma pistol is going to be as cheap as it was in Halo 2, I hope it is not as magnetic. One more thing, will the sword be in the game because I don't see it in any pics. Please Bungie keep sending they cool HI-Def maps. Send new map pic please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna see them. Is the guy on the back of the mongoose going to be able to shoot?

The dual wielded weapons are spikers and are a new brute weapon.
and about the sword, bungie will be posting more pictures and i think they will probably keep it in the game, just because its not it these pics does not mean it wont be in the game

load a picture of master chiefs helmet from halo 2 and then compare it to that one. There is a little more detail and remember this is only a pre-alpha stage

Did anyone notice the lable on the Spartian cannon that reads "Danger: Darn Live Wires"? So many easter eggs. so little time.

Awesome screenshots Bungie! Simply gorgeous! When looking at that final screen though, I noticed something I don't know if anyone else noticed it or not. There were Spartans with both Battle Rifles and Assault rifles. I was led to believe in Halo 2 that the Battle Rifle had replaced the Assault Rifle. I am glad to see it's return from Halo 1 and I wonder has it changed at all from the first Halo. Personally I hated the SMG from Halo 2 and sourly missed the Assault Rifle when I needed a machine gun.

Yeah dude, the smgs did kinda suck. If they do get rid of them though, i may miss them. Lol. I sound like a gir-.....illa. I don't want to get sued or somethin. Well anyways, i think that it was a good update, and i can't wait for more! thanks bungie!

i don't know if this has been mentioned but in the pic of snowbound, right behind the blue spartans back it says "Out of ammo..." then the next line says "Press...". Is there gonna be a way to drop weapons that are out of ammo? Maybe tha'ts what the new feature of the X button does and maybe you can run faster when you do so???....or maybe i'm an idiot.

Love the screen shots. I can't wait until Halo 3 comes out! But... I was also sadded. I didn't see any evidence of secondary coloring or a symbol, (I love custimization). And, most saddly, I saw NO evidence of elites avalible in multi-player! I love being an elite, and I hope Bungie puts them in multy for the release.

first of all those pics were amazing and thanky you KP for the narration. second of all i am wondering to there is no evidence of the elite model in any of these pics i know this doesnt meen anything big (like not being able to be an elite) but does it meen that there is a certain new aspect to the elite model that you whant to keep under wraps or does it just meen that nobody playing in these matches felt like being an elite? anyways the only word that could possibly even begin to express my excitement after seeing these pics is w00t!!!!!!!!!!111 keep up the amazing work guys

Did anyone notice the helicopter in the air in the First pic?


HAHAHAHAHA LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




hahahaha, that had me laughing for a good minute straight. People ask the same questions over and over without reading the responses or reading the actual post by bungie. I was almost crying when I read that helicopter thing hahaha. Besides that, the game is looking AMAZING, this just reconfirmed my beliefs in this soon to be outstanding game! keep it up bungie

real-time means that the reflections are realistically produced while the game is running and continuously being remade so that it looks just like it does in real life. Real-time reflections show that a grenade being thrown across the front of the ghost would be realistically reflected on the surface of the ghost as explained in the post by bungie. Basically, it makes the game frickin awesome looking.........you see these types of reflections on the masterchiefs visor and probably in water reflections and the scopes on the guns and such.

If you throw a frag grenade at a window, will it go through and break it? Or will it just bounce off the window like in Halo 2?

I really think that instead of 2 grenades each(total:6) it should be either a max 8 or 3 grenades each(total:9) so that it is closer to halo 1 and 2. But this should be good for cutting down on using grenades as solely a weapon.

I am assuming those tripods in the right edge of Snowbound are aout turrets..looks like the end of halo players excaping the maps. that was fun, unless someone used it online. And is the yellow guy on the right grenate jumping?

Holy Crap Bungie!
Warthog looks tight, and...
Spartan Lasers? Spike Grenades? Mongoose ATV? You can see the secondary weapon? Spiker?
I have to say, I'm so far off the edge of my seat, I'm sitting on my desk. Can't wait to play the game. kick-ass update. Looking forward to more.
