you do know that all covie battle cruisers all look alike...
(well yeah except the flood infected one)

Thumper is fail... they should get that out :(

Don't call it the thumper, they need it in there anyway to balance out the use of no brutes!

EDIT: something about the firing animation for the shotgun make meh need new pants.

Don't understand how the assault rifle is looking cut down when it's maybe less than 3 months before halo 3 though.

and just days before Halo 1.

It would be cool, if as the game goes on, the weapons get more and more powerful/Halo1-like.. :D

I am excited.

I'm sure some animations are placeholders still (like that horrible pistol reload D: at 6:04), because at the one time you saw the shotgun firing, he threw a grenade and it looked just like Halo 2's (ala, that picture Cebo showed above), and trust me I know what that looks like. So, it might've been using Halo 2's animations, editted with the new grenade toss.

The grenade throw I'm loving though is the one at 6:33, so go back and take a look:

Edit: Here's a pic-

This one actually just looks more like Halo 3's gun movements but with a bit of Halo 2 looseness in it, really odd but really, really awesome.

there was a brute being developed in the vidoc and there's one hidden enemy on the bungie website.Tell me what that spells?(I was kinda hoping Jackals...)

also at 5:41 on the vidoc are those jackals?

Such ignorance.

If you notice, there is also one "Classified" page in the other sections as well. It does not mean there is only one more thing to show, it means there is more info that is not ready yet, meaning multiple items. For example, from the ViDoc, we can see Pelicans and Mongooses and Plasma Rifles and the Magnum and an unnamed grenade launcher, yet none of them are on the Ordnance page as they should be. I suppose that makes you believe only one of them will make it into the final game?

well that really doesn't make a difference in what I said,they still haven't revealed all the enemies,which means that there will probably be brutes and jackals both.

The ViDoc showed off many jackals...

August 30: Fall of reach, Chief and POA Barely escape.
September 19: Battle of installation 04.
October 20: First Battle of Earth.
October 21 Battle of Installation 05.
November 4 Second battle of Earth and the battle of installation 00.

Taken from the Halo Encyclopaedia.

No, I'm pretty sure thats wrong.

No he's right.

Copied EXACTLY from the Halo Encyclopedia $75 worth of information from the story bible.

I WONDER WHEN FLOOD SHOW UP IN GAME?

I hope the flood doesn't it wont fit the story line and there just boring to fight.

even though flood wouldn't fit the story line. It be funny to assassinate them lol. They would probably collapse like in halo3 :P

I like it how you are mainly outnumbered in the fights. :)
4 spartans, 8 marines VS 30 covenant. :D

Sprint was considered for Halo 2. That's way before COD had sprinting.

Nah nah, not the ship, the night time cliff.

I was thinking, Lone Wolf = Master Chief?

Master Chief was a lone wolf, so maybe the Lone Wolf guy in Reach is the chief?

lone wolf = spartan III
M.C. = spartan II

so, no.

although I do like the lone wolf with a group of spartans style, because like on the night level in the vidoc, while the other spartans are climbing over rocks and sticking together, you slide down a cliff on your own, at least I think that's what he's doing, which basically tells you he's not a team player.

M.C. can change is armor. He was in at least 3 Mojinar armor projects. So why not? I don't see a reason why lone wolf would be M.C. seeing that he has the opportunity to fit M.C's story as well.

The Master Chief fought in orbit over Reach though didn't he?
He sent Red team to the surface and kept Blue in orbit with him.

noble team = all spartan 3's
mc = spartan 2

:V

Actually, no Jorge is a spartan II. He's the heavy weapons specialist I believe, the one who said "Didn't think anyone survived Pegasi, sir."

I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing, or probably even hearing, much about the Chief in Reach.

This is Bungie's time to show Spartans in a new way, as well as Halo's combat.

That's what I meant ^ The actual person not the suit.

I think that bungie said the chief might be mentioned ingame through radio chatter or something like that, but sadly there will be no part during the game where noble team and red team fight together =C.

Would be cool if you see him in a final cutscene or something

Considering this is their last Halo-related game, I think the perfect way to finish it off would be to tie the end of Reach with the beginning of Halo 1. Something as simple as a cutscene showing the Pillar of Autumn escaping Reach would do the job.

Everyone in the team dying and the long wolf would escape to the pillar of autumn and go in cryosleep.
Etc etc, it all fits in. I can't believe none of you guys would consider it.

I would totally consider it, but we already know enough about Lone Wolf to know it can't be.

Like some people already said, Lone Wolf is a Spartan-III, but the Chief is a Spartan-II. Also, on the Bungie page it even says that Lone Wolf is Spartan 312, whereas we all know the Chief is Spartan 117. I don't think there's any way you could justify that Lone Wolf could be the Chief. It just wouldn't make any sense.

Also Lone Wolf is a Lieutant, and John is Master Chief Petty Officer.
