Fez 04-02-2004 08:33 AM

Oh yeah, enjoy Bungie's April Fools Joke: Pimps At Sea! http://www.bungie.com/products/pimps/pimpsatsea.htm

Esus 04-03-2004 09:52 AM

Nevermind... I can't read, it seems.

Fez 04-03-2004 10:05 AM

what were those pics for Hobo? Were they Als ones?

Al the Vykker 04-03-2004 07:00 PM

Heres one new picture for you in the mean time while Im gathering them all up.

Possible Concept art of Covenant Homeworld?
That was my first guess when I saw it.

Hobo 04-03-2004 10:51 PM

Those were just some pics of bungie.com

Al, I'd say that pic was more likely to be Earth after it's been glassed.

Fez 04-04-2004 01:18 AM

i dunno, look at the mountain shaped things in the background.

It more then probably is a part of Earth though.

Yay! On to the picture analysis!

- What is the purple thingie in the foreground? A Ghost? A Banshee?

- The building in the middle-right of the pic looks like one of the Blue Plasma Emitters from the level Halo. Looks a bit Forerunner-ish.

- It's DEFINATELY not Earth. We ain't got mountains as sharp and pointy as these.

- What is that dark area behind the Forerunner-ish building? Is it a could? IS it a column of smoke? I see a big tree in it...

Whadda you guys think?

Fez 04-04-2004 01:49 AM

Earth would have big point mountains like that if enough ground had been blown up. Very nice analasys though.

In the end of First Strike, Halsey takes Kelly to do some secret mission. Do you think this mission will be revealed in the game? i mean, chances are the game and the book are different, but it would be cool if bungie took ideas from the authors.

Hobo 04-04-2004 01:51 AM

Could be Earth, well I mean we're meant to be losing this war, and there are projectiles incoming, I doubt humans would be able to attack the covie homeworld that powerfully. it would be MC and marines, not a full scale assault, as we would never win.

And after a few projectiles, I'm sure our mountains could look like that

Al the Vykker 04-04-2004 07:59 AM

For clarification that wasnt off Bungie.com I took a screenshot of a documentary I downloaded and there was a bunch of stuff in the art department, and they showed this one and were talking about different twists in the story or something, cant really remember completely it was a while ago.

Heres a view of this same shot more to the left though.
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...tid=1717&stc=1

Fez 04-04-2004 08:20 AM

any more shots of characters?

Mojo 04-05-2004 06:37 AM

After studying the second pic, I have come to this conclusion.

I think the most left structure (the one on fire) is a downed aircraft. Looks Covenant-ish, with that purple hue... Again, I'm wondering what the structure in the middle of the pic is. Maybe part of the "aircraft" on the left?

Fez 04-07-2004 01:26 AM

Little update, Halo 2 is confirmed at E3 this May.

Fez 04-14-2004 11:24 AM

This is the new Halo 2 screen. Keep looking till I say stop....

halo.bungie.net have had some huge updates. Check it out.

SeaRex 04-14-2004 11:36 AM

Hmm... the pic seems to be two different co-op teams (red and yellow). Perhaps we can expect a four-player competitive co-cop mode? You know, like most kills/objectives wins.

Fez 04-14-2004 11:38 AM

Thats just what me and Hobo were talking about. T'is a great idea. Oh, the graphics have been somewhat turned off.

Hobo 04-14-2004 11:01 PM

We bloody hope, I'm not buying a game with textures like that.
Lots of sweet info here:

Fez 04-15-2004 02:02 AM

WOW! Those are great!

Mojo 04-16-2004 04:53 AM

Whadda we have here.

A new team color. Brown.
Confirmation of dual wielding 2 different weapons (in this case a Plasma and Ordinary Pistol)
Some dude just dropped his Battle Rifle (right part of the pic)
We're gonna play in a level that is somewhat underground, and it supports vehicles.

The right Spartan is holding the SMG a bit funny.

What are those (obviously Covenant) energy(?) trails? A new weapon, maybe? (It's definately no Plasma Pistol, it has too much blue in it, it is too transparent, and it looks like the projectiles are, well, imagine an armed Plasma Grenade, put it in a Plasma Explosion, and add some yellow, to get a green effect. Also, the trails aren't exactly lineair. Looks like the projectiles moved up and down a little, which suggests that it isn't an energy-based weapon at all (Plasma being heated nucleons), but more of a ballistic weapon (think air-resistance)...

Yup

:

It's an SMG, not a pistol, otherwise that's right

Yups

Could just be a tunnel

That might just be so we can see what gun it is

I don't think it's going to be ballistic and leave a trail. It isn't going to be a sniper rifle, as that'd mean there are stupidly large amounts of snipers over the other side. I think it would be some kind of new Guass Rifle, but seeing as they've already shown that at E3 I'd doubt it.

Fez 04-16-2004 07:17 AM

I think its just a simple plasma pistol. Some of the graphics are turned off remember?

If not then they look alot like the stuff that come out of Shade turrents. Maybe a portable minigun version of those is a new weapon?

Fez 04-16-2004 11:39 PM

New Screen!

Halo 2 weekly update

Xavier 04-17-2004 02:12 AM

I love that new screenshot
the Jackals look like punks more then ever

Oddys 04-17-2004 02:20 AM

Here's a pic of two Jakals!

Jakals

edit:
ops! ou schow ist befor me! Sorry...

Esus 04-17-2004 02:28 AM

The screenshot link doesn't work... :(

Fez 04-17-2004 10:18 AM

Which link is that? you could try the one Dis put up.

Fez 04-18-2004 08:07 AM

Saw this Eva from Evangelion, look familliar?

No.

(Damn you stupid "10 letter" rule. Always taking the drama out of my comedy.)

Fez 04-18-2004 08:40 AM

*cough* Hunter *cough*

Mojo 04-18-2004 08:40 AM

HUNTER! IT'S A HUNTER! YA TURD!

Nah, j/k. But I do think it looks alot like one...

Seems like the Jackals are gonna use the Plasma Rifle! Yay! Then they will finally be somewhat of a thread... Hmm, imagine what would happen if the started to use Needlers? Of all the Covies, the Jackals seem to be the most accurate... Ouch, we're gonna be pincushions!

Note how the teeth are really detailed. Looks a bit like the Raptors in Jurassic Park to me.

Fez 04-18-2004 08:41 AM

Nothin a good 'nade cant sort out though.
