<i>From the Bungie forums:

Dual wieldable brute Shotgun called the Mauler - When single wielded, not as strong as human's shotty, but when dual wielded, just as strong.

New equipment called the flare - Temporairly blinds oppents.

Elites confirmered in Multiplayer ( Iknow obvious but now its offical)

Prowler- new brute vehicle, like a spectre but brute ****

Guardian- Spritual succesor to Lockout.

Sierra 117, acutally 5th mission in the game ( 99% typo by EGM, thanks Ad Hominum)

Online co-op still not confirmed or denied, System link and Splitscreen confirmed. Frankie stated they are working on online co-op, but if they dont get it right, it wont be in. He also added that if it does not get in, it is *possible* to add in through downloadable content, allthough that was also not confirmed incase they dont get it in. ( * Can't play as Aribiter unless you do co-op. Credit to MLG Cheehwawa)

Personal shield - New equipment, like bubble shield but lets your fire from inside the shield and kill people outside it.

Marathon on XBLA soon, magazine said it should be out now, so that means before August 7th ( Speculation)

Co-op- one person is Arbiter and other is Masterchief

GRavity hammer - Usable by player, has lunge like sword but MUCH shorter, If vehicle tries to run you over, you can hit it with hammer and send it flying, also if a granade is at your feet, hit the ground with the hammer and the shockwaves will send it bouncing away.

Regenerator- opposite of power drainer, i assumne it re charges your shields and can give you overshield ( Credit -A_F_Kontroller)

Forge- i did not read about this, but it is said by other peopel that its not a full map editor, but you can change where weapons and vechiles spawn

Hornet - confirmed to be in campaign all though not yet confirmed to be usable, but most likely. No information about it in Multiplayer

Elephant- Mobile base that can hold ATV, troops ( around a dozen)

Brutes in Campaign have invinciability power ups, also will be in muliplayer but will RARELY be seen ( Credit to MLG Cheehwawa )</i>

Good stuff.

They all look like great additions if they are true, well most of them anyway. Especially the flare it would be sweet have the other guys screen turn red or something. Almost like you were standbying lol but not in a cheating way.

hm, im not to sure about all of those additions...
i like the basic simplicity of halo 2 multi player that made it so successfull, if all of these things are included into multi-player then it seems like bungie is relying on gimics instead of quality of the game that halo 2 has.

Quality? Halo 2 weapon balance was a joke.

yeah, ^ I'm glad they are trying to switch it up as much as they are. If they left it the same as Halo 2, people would lose interest within a few months. Same shit, better graphics.
