I still think Halo would be better if it was a third person shooter, rather than first.
Even though it does look cool in cooperative mode when one player dies and you see the other player running about & shooting in their screen, I don't think it'd work as a third person shooter. i could see their being some messy camera and control issues. Plus, first person perspective puts you in MC's boots!

And SeaRex, it's o major spoil! Heck, it probably isn't so, it's just a possibility The covenant as a whole are a race lead strongly by religion. Apparently, the prophets are their religious leaders. Like Majic_Abe said, they're like priests.

But what is this "aprint" option? I'm sorry, but I didn't understand a word of it

And I still think that they sound cooler as "Covenant Preachers".

"And the Lord smackath DOWN upon the inferior humans! And all was well, for humans don't smell very good. Oh Lord!!! Can I get an Amen!? I say, can I get an AMEN!?! Hallelujah!"

It is pretty cool how all of them are completely original, though.

Eep SS, I meant to type sprint. Notice the "a" and "s" key are close together. Simple typo

lol. That was a joke, right?



And Majic, I see Sprinting would be very cool. Some first person shooters like Return To Castle Wolfenstein offer the ability to sprint, but I never really use it. But I can see it coming in very handy in a massive outdoor level on Halo 2 where you need to get to cover quickly as two banshees and a shadow are spraying you with plasma. And I can see it coming in handy for multiplayer too. I remember playing Sidewinder with some mates and it's get annoying if everybody was at the red base and you'd get killed and respawned at the blue. It seemes to take long to get back to the red base and we even thought that a sprint button would be handy to quicken the pace. And it'd really help out against those darned snipers! A sniper has you pinned down, where to go? Running in the orginial game wasn't fast enough to frustrate the sniper, but sprining to new cover could certainly come in handy as the would probably have trouble keeping their scope trained on you (at first anyway). Snipers did seem to be the most powerful contenders in a game of Halo multiplay, it was always a good idea to train up as one. Hopefully it'll be just as hard being a sniper (having some advantages) as it would be a close combatant

And AplphaScrab... you don't command a banshee, you pilot one!

Of course, I can see it now... a deep game of Elites versus Spartans in multiplayer. The "captain" of the Spartans would command their men to steal enemy Banshees and tell them where to attack. Or hopefully, we'll have a human flying weapon too. Helicopters have been suggested by Halo fans. The idea of carrying men in the air and dropping them down into battlefields whilst a gunner keeps the enemy at bay sounds very cool! Hopefully Bungee have seen these ideas and will use them

Don't worry, the freezing chamber is almost ready. A Time Machine would be alot better, but there were just some bugs that could not be stamped on - the machine decided to mess with our test subjects age... seeing a man's wbeard shoot out into a withered snow colour isn't pretty

*ahem* Yes, I'm just emphasizing how I can't wait for Halo 2
