A satellite dish doesnt have 4 prongs. Its obviously a surface to space launcher thingy they use for defense, and you have to protect it for an amount of time until they bring in the calvary.

>.>

Not in real life no... but maybe they do in the game...

Well no duh not in real life, we dont have aliens attacking us to the point where we have launchers that shoot crap out of space.

They need the prongs to fire viruses into the covenant computers.

EDIT: Somewhat more seriously, asides from maybe a missile, what would actually be convenient to fire from the surface, seeing as they already have orbital defense platforms.

Because the covenant have to get out of their ships, and fly down to the ground to take them out.

They can just glass it from orbit...

That's why you have the orbital stations...

Are you talking about dropships? A simple SAM site would suffice for those, no need for such a large installation.

I thought it was fallen satellite when I first saw it tbh.

DO NOT under any circumstance post scans or links to scans of physical magazines. It is a copyright violation. Posting pictures or links to to on-line publications is acceptable.

HUD is blue now btw.

I hate the AR. It looks like one of the crappy AR remake attempts we have here.

I strongly recommend this video.
It has HUD and weapon close ups, as well as some sweet concept art, with commentary.

So it's a Covenant version of a br?

I think it's pretty much the carbine that shoots needles.

No, thats a carbine.

I am loving the new BR. Time to learn Sub'd modelling and baking on that bad boy. Might do the needle thingy as well.

Since when did the Carbine have needles sticking out the sides?

Last time I checked they're revising all weapons so that's obviously their new take on the needler.

He asked if the needle rifle was a covenant version of the BR. And its not, the Covenant Carbine is the covenant version of the BR.
Also its not a new take on the Needler, theres still a regular needler in Reach, for the grunts and stuff. Its on one of those leaked images.

AR has a 28 round clip now? Look at the ammo metre in the top right...
Edit: Unless it drains Top, bottom, top ect
Edited by Dark Neon on Jan 25, 2010 at 11:56 PM

The MA2B is stripped down, the reach one doesnt look stripped down.

Well considering whoever took the screenshot was playing Halo Reach, and that the assault rifle is being fired, I'd say its still 32. If you look closely, you can see their are 4 ammo icons drained away to the left of the entire meter.
