The contrail might be a sniper, you can't really see up there and all the Spartans have their guns pointed up there.

I want to know more about the new needler... how the damage works, if it still causes the big explosions... I really liked the needler but it was only useful in one player, and then only in certain situations. But I always liked the weapon a lot, it looks excellent in the multiplayer demo, in terms of effects, I'd like to know more about how it works.

I agree with you Ghost I think there is a sniper there. You just can't see him. Because the turret looks like it is on the same team as the sniper and they both are shooting in the same area. If you haven't noticed the snipers bullet is coming from behind the turret. And I like the look of the bullet at the point of the sniper fire. Thats cool!!!

The needle textures look a bit old, I hope they haven't completely finished that yet, it would be quite a shame to have such a brilliant game, in every respect, have its graphics soiled by something like that.

Has anyone noticed that on the pic of the elite dying he has orange hands like the rest of his body but on the picture of the elites HUD the hands holding the needlers are blue like on the first halo.

This may be a portion of customizable colors of elite?

I used Halo 2 needler, and like the demo, no big needle explosion =( I hope this changes. I want needle to explode!

Does anyone else notice the strange piece of scrap metal behind the Elite? I guess it's a Ghost, but I dunno....

With Halo 2, not only do you get to choose color set, but you get to choose secondary colors as well.

very cool,i love how sleek the needlers look

I thought that mounted cannons was cool until I saw double needlers. Completly cool. Dont' forget to pre-order Halo2 before it's to late! If you pre-order now you can get the limitted collectors edition with 2 DVD's of extrafotage of how the game was made. Get Halo2!

THE guy at gamestop said if you dont preorder youll have to wait like 3months for another shipment....haha

Probably not for long, actually. I think this is just a E3 "oh my gosh" thing, and in a few weeks after the E3 shock has wore down so will the screeny flow.

Amazing...

But what the hell happened to the flag art?? two arrows? i loved the fish or whatever it was on the old one, like the legendary symbol.

It may be my screen, but the needlers look slightly 'bulkier', like they are a teeny tiny bit wider or something...

The Needler really does rock now... Granted the team will continue to fine tune and balance up until release but it's nice having some extra firepower. And, the needles do still explode. During our demo sessions at E3, I would always fill the Elite ("Wort") with tons of needles and after he dies there are a few needles left that send his corpse flying. At last the Needler now gets the respect it deserves! =)

If you look closely you can tell it's a trashed Ghost. A very beautiful piece of trash.

In that picture you are able to see a small reflection of light from the needlers in the red Spartans helmet. Hopefully Bungie has actually added the reflectioning they promised...this could be a start.

there is a rocket being fired to but thats not it. Look realy close at the end of the white con trail. It starts from the right side where the turret on the balcony is and it ends a little above and to the left of the Elite in mid-air. On the end of the con-trail is a little gold bullet.



Actually it starts from the left and ends in the right. Somebody is shooting from up above aiming at the turret.

I rhink that the "golden bullet" is just sparks or some effect from a sniper round going through or hitting that overhang.

Also the needlers are kickass but the needle sticking out of the top seem to have lost their flame like quality and are now more crystalline. I agree that a retexturing would be worthwhile.
