  • That is true but if you think about everything you know about the Prophets if you know annything (no offense) but the Prophets are very strong mentally, So they could do much damage by using their minds. Hope that clears things up for you.

  • Well my whole thoght of it is that sense all the new guys are coming to play with the big boys more of the story is being revealed, duh, but thats not the point. My point is that with everyone coming there might be a new linked to the past story. What past story you might ask, Marathon duh. Everything that is happining has to have a link to Marathon because everything that is happening I think is going off of Marathon if you ever read any of the old stories wich I dont feel like getting into. But what Im simply saying is that I hope everything becomes more clear in the story line that links the 2 (Halo, Marathon) together. What do you people think about it?

  • just to make a correction. grace was not strangled, she was blown apart from behind with a grenade launcher that the brutes had. thats their weapn i think. Hey, anyone think that the last spartans like Linda etc. will be in halo 2? it would be a dissapointment if they werent.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dominus Pilus I don't think that there will be Flood Versions of Hunters and Elites in Halo2, why you say? Because Halo doesn't exist anymore, and implementing the flood after we all kicked their asses all to easily in the first game, would be kinda pointless.[/quote] There are multiple Halos. the one you destroyed would only destroy all sentient life in a 25 (right #?) million mile radius. Also, I recall somewhere reading that another Halo will come into play in Halo 2

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mr McMurder Will there be zombie flood versions of Hunters, Brutes, etc.? If anyone important is reading this, there needs to be: - a "pronate" move so that you can lay down while sniping. This could be balanced by taking a long time to "get up" - a "high five" move, to congratulate teammates on particularly humiliating feats. "Humping" is a taunt, but how many times have you wanted to congratulate and can't? That would be pretty intense. People will want to have some sort of "team morale move" when Live hits. [/quote] I don't think that there will be Flood Versions of Hunters and Elites in Halo2, why you say? Because Halo doesn't exist anymore, and implementing the flood after we all kicked their asses all to easily in the first game, would be kinda pointless. As for a high five action, not only would that look retarded, it would be pointless, because you could just say nice job to them (next to you, or over Live with the comunicator). The only team morale move or just for individuals to do, would be to have a spray feature, where you can make your own logo from your PC and transfer it to your XBOX, be able to use the spray after you kill your enemy, spraying their dead corpse with your logo or team logo. That would be the ideal thing for Halo 2. There better be for Live on Halo 2, a feature where you can have your friends who are on your account with you, make their own names, instead of being a Guest of (their name). Oh and for the Covenant race, I think we will run into a few surprises along the way, new species that no one has heard of before, not even Bungie would tell us. So, keep it up Frankie, nice job, and I can't wait for Halo 2 to be in my hands.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Monkeylizard Hey, come to think of it maybe the covenant want to kill the humans because they have no single outstanding skill and would be worthless to assimilate! Ahahaha![/quote] Not neccsarily true. remember that the covenant are imitative, because they just steal forerunner technologies, and also human technologies (they stole AIs). Humans, however, are innovative, so we can create new technologies, and improve on existing technology. Like in First Strike, where Cortana improved the Ascendant Justices' plasma turrets, and the sheild technology on Mjolnir. Also, humans ARE halfway decent fighters, its just that the Covenat will just glass the planet being fought over. It is my personal opinion that, while this would practically be like selling humanities soul to Satan himself (so, yeah, I wouldn't like it if this happened), humans could possibly manage to secure a position in the ranks of the Covenant, as technology developers and also as fighters if needed.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] halowolf And in Halo itself and the books there are more than enough clues that the Forerunners are actually an ancient Human civilisation[/quote] I've heard about this idea before, but could you (or anyone else, for that matter) clarify? I've heard some of the arguments and I'm not saying their wrong, but...yeah. Oh, I have read all 3 Halo books, so you could point our references too

  • That is cool about the Covenant. However what about the FL00D. I know that the history will be revealed in the game and their ties with the forerunners. Also do they have any history with the covenant.

Ahahaha![/quote] And I deal with them everyday comming from all places and forms. The local nut who says he's Bill Clinton's son. The fake monk/priest comming into the embassy trying to get a visa and end up with a oneway ticket to the Sri Lankan prision instead. Or how about the supply clerk who call five times at 0-dark-hundred hour asking for the same seral number becaus he keeps looseing it. YEAH WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] masterchief65 WTF!!!!!! I am confused about prophets. In first strike, in the last epilouge chapter, it say that a prophet could rip a hunter to pieces. It says and i quote"The creature was a magnificent specimen of vicousness. The prophet marveled at it's near -unthinking potential for mayhem;the rippling muscle under its dull gray skin could tear apart any opponent-even a mighty hunter. It was a perfect instrument." So in bungie's news about a prophet that is lacked physical strength. So bungie could you PLEASE explain which one is correct.[/quote] Thoes were the Brutes that the book was talking about. Read the book again.
