Caltrop grenades.

Possible jackal shield

Plasma carbine

Some type of mortar

Jackal phalanx

Covenanty military police

Definitely Brutes

Big space ship

Just some ones that looked cool to me.

You know, Eazy. If the Brutes are in, odds are good they'll probably will bring a Chopper or two with them.

That list you made a while back just keeps having the stuff you were unhappy about get bumped further and further to the top of the list. :lol

Jackal shields...

That would make an excellent armor ability...

Could we please makes the gifs links, they made my browser crash and this thread unviewable to me :/ (Took me like 20 minutes to be able to post a reply)

Jackal shields are fun as a dual-wieldable weapons. Back in the Halo 2 modding days they made a really good gameplay addition IMO

Some of the X10 write ups mentioned that Powerhouse had destructible walls in places. I thought of that during this part of the video: it looks like a grenade has blown open the left hand side of the door frame. It could be that the geometry is static, and the smoke is left behind from the grenade toss - it's said to linger for a while now - but adding in environmental destruction like that would be pretty awesome. I've been hoping for more of it with each game in the series.

Haha, hell yeah. I really can't imagine a better vidoc at this point given it was SP content.

If I learned anything useful from watching anime (GitS), it's that bullets don't spark when hitting concrete.

Dual wieldable weapon
Click to expand...

I think it fits a lot better than as DW'dable thing. First of all, it's not a weapon, it doesn't do damage. Second of all, I think it would have been annoying to the player to have to hold L to keep the shield engaged.

It fit's more in the realm of these armor abilities that are support features for the spartans, instead of doing direct damage. It can also render more changes to things like movement speed.

Plus, it's looking more and more like DWing is gone.

Was it just the smoothness/speed of the camera movement, or did anyone else feel like it was running 60fps?

Seeing the game in action has definitely satiated the worries I had about the game. Now its time to go dark until beta.

Some more thoughts...

- Can we get crosshairs on the DMR?

- I really think they should change HUD design. It was fine back when Halo: CE first came out but it's time for a redesign.

- Sprint looks nice... Wouldn't argue against it being a bit faster though...

- I really like the contrast between the night and the bright neon colors. I hope there are plenty of night time environments.

- I hope the DMR is in multiplayer the way we see it in this Vidoc.

Finally, kudos to Wu for nailing the beta release date. You're as awesome as they say.:D

Heh - It was clear that it was going to be after April, from the Child's Play Charity tour info... so I started with May 1, then adjusted when I saw that was a Saturday. :) (You don't want to start a huge beta test when half your staff is out of the office...)

I'm with the majority here - this thing looked AMAZING.

- When the DMR was being shown, the Skirmishers are firing the Needler Rifle.
- The new shotgun looks really sweet.
- Assassination animations look good.
- Graphics seem to be coming along very nicely.
- It's good to see the new AR in action. I like it, and the the clip display in your HUD runs out of bullets by going through both rows at the same time instead of just one after the other.
- DMR looks cool.
- The new Human weapon, the grenade launcher, looks like fun. A replacement for the Brute Shot?
- Seeing that the pistol has a zoom function made me go :D.
- Sprinting looks good.
- I'm now really excited for the campaign. What they showed and talked about was pretty huge, and I'm sure there are even bigger encounters in the game.

Yep, I'm hoping with the huge scale, this game will really shine in co-op, even with 4 good players.

I'd bet my right testicle that the stuff we see here is just shit from the beginning of the game. Tip of the iceberg.

Watched this earlier today, the game looks great as expected from Bungie. I'll probably miss out on the Beta since I'll be busy in May but I'll be there day 1 when this is released.

Damn 500 errors. Just watched the VidDoc again, I can't wait.
