I also got extremely confused by that, the Spartan goes flying, a nade maybe?Bungieware said:

He's already dead before that comes in though right? Also did he get a BullTrue for locking up against the sword lunge? That would be awesome.
I really like the beard suggestion for avatars by the way. Get that Soffish a beard pronto! :lol

Also in that gif there is the Spartan who comes running into the screen at the end and he appears to have some floating symbol over his head but it is very faint...is it showing peoples emblems in theater mode or possibly rank?

I think the Elite may have used the Covenant version of Armor Lock. If you look at these few frames you can see the Elite crouch a bit, put his weapon across his chest instead of having it outward ready to shoot, and has some type of blast that shoots outward similar to the Spartan's Armor Lock ability:

I actually quite like the beard idea. :lol
Also, that Elite does look like it's going into an Armour Lock-esque transition.

In case anyone is still a bit flustered over the removal of flag juggling and it's absence in Reach, I found a quote from Shishka on the MLG forum that's worth noting.
I think that spells out that you can restore flag juggling in Custom games and since MLG settings are essentially a set of standardised Custom game rules (and map variants), I'd imagine official MLG settings may or may have flag juggling enabled if that community wants it.
Apologies if old.

Anyone wanting to go ahead and throw a sage beard on my avatar? I will wear it proud.

I can't seem to get that Gametrailers episode to load. Anyone else having this problem?
And yes, I know it's on youtube. I just can't imagine watching all of this Halo goodness in anything other than HD.

Why do people want flag juggling? It just seems like a cheap exploit to me.

I had the same problem in Firefox. Switched over to Explorer and it worked instantly.
It's a Microsoft exclusive to the end, this franchise :lol

suicide belt? Sort of a last stand ability that triggers an emp effect possibly.

Thanks a bunch.
I had tried to switch over to Explorer earlier but it told me I needed to upgrade flash so I abandoned that idea. Got desperate and decided to bite the bullet. Found out I was using IE 64 bit. :lol

You can see that the Elite beat the player down, and that his shields were flaring/broke, and then the Elite died from a grenade/rocket. :/
He could have used one of the quicker charges, though, right? That would explain how the grenade was able to kill him. And right after the Elite's shields pop, there's a second, much more significant, outward blast that occurs while the Elite is still in that "crouched" animation that looks pretty similar to the Spartan's Armor Lock effects.

I don't, if you're carrying the flag you should be carrying the flag.Not a Jellyfish said:

But he's clearly crouching at the end... that's armour lock right, so how did he die in armour lock?
Another thing I noticed is the radar at the beginning of that gif. It's swamped with red dots that all disappear. Did I miss something or is radar jammer back?
EDIT: I'm guessing your radar's jammed when in armour lock. That seems to make sense.

The new footage looks great. I just saw this unrelated and apparently old image attached to a Reach article, can anybody explain what the hell I'm looking at?

Unreal Halo mod, apparently. Certainly nothing to do with Reach.

I forgot how .giftastical the HaloGAF threads are. *browser cough wheeze*
Anyway, I told Sai-kun I'd do this. <3
Last day of Halo 2 online, and who do I run into on Team SWAT? The esteemed Sai-kun, "wunderkid of NeoGAF's Halo community." I was shaking in my disabled boots.
How does it feel, HaloGAF to have your Wunderkid's ass kicked by a cripple? :lol
(Damn the Red/Sai's team getting their act together and my team getting killed in the last few minutes, we were leading and neck-and-neck for a bit there)
It's okay, Sai-kun. I still love you. <3 Can't hate a fellow Elite player. :lol

In Sai's defense: The gamewas laggy as hell. I'm surprised I did as good in it, but then again the last day of Halo 2 was nothing but laggy games for me. :/ And, I'm sure Sai could kick my ass in Halo 3 or Reach. Just teasing him with this game as he's the most killed by me. :3
It's okay, Sai-kun. I still love you. <3 Can't hate a fellow Elite player. :lol

That reminded me of something I did a year or two ago,
Seeing what Halo 3 assets would look like in an unbiased rendering engine. The only modifications were a displacement made from the normal map, and a secondary diffuse for low angles which was done by hand. The armor has a Titanium IOR and the visor has a Gold IOR.
