Being a personality type 5 (with a strong 6 wing, and a bit of a 4 wing, too) I just like to sit back and watch things develop. > No one ever said all the fundamental, difficult stuff has been > put to rest.

Bonus points if you > can guess what the second trigger does. Speculation on public > forums is, as always, encouraged. Hmm...belching flame....sounds like our familiar aresol-based napalm unit. Second trigger, tho? I can't even begin to fathom what the creative minds at Bungie have come up as an aternate fire that would be worthy of the second trigger. Perhaps it justs sprays the aresol without actually igniting it...I can imagine the tactical benefits of keeping sensitive areas bathed in highly combustable fluids at all times. One spark and FOOM! Or maybe it shoots geled napalm <evil grin> rather than aresol form. The possibilities for carnage when you can stick lumps of flammable jelly to your enemy are limitless. > - Beware of wall-hugging hippos. No, this is not a joke. Nor > does it necessarily mean what you think it means. The first thing that comes to my mind is the damned exploding ticks that wondered the dark corridors of "Colony Ship For Sale" Constantly hugging the floors they managed to stay just out of my line of fire....truly a pain. Oh, and by the way, does *anything* really mean what we think it means...? > - Cortana sure has been quiet lately. I wonder if that means > anything. No doubt plotting the horrible destruction of all of us. Being trapped in an antiquated network with a non-sentient construct who keeps making references to your mom can take quite a toll over time...even for a meta-stable AI. > - What will be in the E3 build, and will it be playable?

(Figured I should > toss in a straightforward one to keep you on your toes.) Depends on what you mean by 'playable'. I can 'play' with just about anything, really. Whether or not my form of 'play' is in accordance with what was intended by the developer is another issue entirely. > - There will be a lot of surprises in Halo, but the old-school > Bungie fans will perhaps be the most pleasantly surprised of > all. I wish I could be around to see your faces the first time > you see... well, you'll see. I wonder if the UESC or UEG or any other earth-governemnt referred to by Marathon is still around. I always did wonder what may have become of Mars after it was basically abandoned by Earth. But, that is a history that is best left to our imaginations. > -Matt Oh yeah, was it you who made that obscure comment about a possible tie between Mararthon and Myth having something to do with the Gread Devoid? Is this really serious, or were you just teasing Hamish. To be perfectly honest, I have given it some thought, but I fail to see any signifigant connections (should any exist, of course). Anyway, I look forward to adding Oni and Halo to my growing collection of games which bear the Bungie logo (I've got them all so far!). -Gierke
