Yes! Weekly Bungie Update: Today!

OMG!  It\'s almost here!

You guys can read last week\'s update here. I\'m not going to bother posting it, because there\'s no information worth pointing out really... This is mainly because it wasn\'t done by Frankie. It\'ll be back to the norm this week though.

On to the good stuff:

New Wallpaper!



LINK

And... New screenshots!


That\'s the Covenant Beam Rifle right there, the Covenant\'s answer to the Sniper Rifle. Also a new multiplayer map can be seen here.


This also shows off a new multiplayer map(or it could be part of the one shown in the first screen)! Possibly Ivory, mentioned above... Also, we finally see the projectile of the Covenant Carbine. Part of it, at least.


Those Swords-only gametypes should be fun. This also shows off a new multiplayer map that was mentioned above, Mid-Ship.


Heh. Elite comes out victorious.

[EDIT] - Those first two screenshots are from Ivory. Check out the filenames.

:rock:

Just pre-ordered Halo 2 limited edition!!!

Good man. Last I heard, HALO 2\'s pre-order count was very close to 2 million. I myself have got both the regular copy and LE copy reserved. Less than 3 months to go...

And I thought after all those gameplay impressions and screenshots there would be a discussion starting up. Lots of new info, guys. Lost interest?

Does anyone read or post in this thread besides Nu and pstwo?

I read some of the posts since it\'s so convinient(sp?) and all.  

The game looks great and the gameplay impressions are really good, both of which are expected.  I don\'t think you\'ll get any real discussions on the game until its\' release.

Haven\'t pre-order my copy. I mean I am hoping to just walk into the store and see a copy. I\'ll probably get it from some place like target who is bound to have it. Plus my cousin and sister work there:D

I was going to do the same thing but when I had seen the awesome limited edition casing I decided I had to have it.

Pre-Ordered LE Edition a few months back.

Yay...

Well, lots of people used to do both. Now they just read, apparently.

Well that\'s no fun. You guys aren\'t concerend with any of the changes made? No talk of how these new features can be used in combat? No concerns for weapon balance?...

You should just put down $5 or $10 on the Limited Edition. You won\'t be guaranteed one of those at launch, and the extra $5 over the regular copy is quite worth it.

Oh, and what\'s that girl\'s name, QuDDus? Esther?

Check this Multiplayer Halo 2 cam video!

Man so many people have told me this girls name and they all have been wrong. I search the web I can find noting on Esther. I have been to countless boards trying to find anyone who knows the name. Can\'t find it

Well, she has a "business" name. I think it\'s Miss Freekaleek, something like that.

Her real name\'s Esther though, I think.

I think LE versions of games are stupid, they already cost too damn much.  I mean I paid $55 for Doom3 and I barely play it anymore.

I\'m protesting them with Halo and HL2, buying the regular versions instead.  Sounds :ghey: doesn\'t it?  But I really think these extras should be free.
