    Heracy!
    My list of things that I think may be announced, however only one or two seem likely
    Credibility for each rated by *s - 1 * is not very, 5 *s is most likely.
    A**) New "Prowler-like" vehicle for brutes, or just a transport vehicle
    B*****) Boardwalk and Countdown (Possible BTB maps? BTB FTW!)
    C****) The final, redacted AA, which is NOT Spartan Evade or Elite Armor Lock
    D**) New gamemode (Urk DID say to get new pants)
    E*) New side of the story *Ahem* Elite sidestory *Ahem*
    F***) Theatre 2.0
    G*) New enemy
    H**) Completely gamechanging new Spartan trait (Nightvision level for matchmaking)
    I***) New, hidden Firefight maps or MM maps.

    It looks like in those videos you spawn with the AR as your primary. To me, that might be a little annoying at first. It would kinda be a weird instinct to press Y every time you spawn if you perfer the DMR.

    I dont think so because that wasnt even a standard match. It was a 4v4 slayer first to 25. Normally its 50. We will soon see.

    Is it just me or do the shields recharge really slow. Every time his shields were down, it looks like they took almost 1.5X longer to recharge than normal.

    I dont really think health will come into play too much that you should slow down the shield recharge that much. i noticed that too and it was a little to lengthy IMO

    Health can take about the same amount of damage as shields except one head shot will kill you without shields.

    Is there a chance night vision is the armor ability that Bungie has not yet told us about?

    night vision isnt an armor ability, its in the button scheme. I used it at Comic-Con while playing firefight on the nighttime map (I think its called Beach Head, but might have been Water Front.. i forget). Its not like ODSTs- its more mellow, no outlines on everything, better visibility but not amazing.. more realistic.

    I think with most button schemes its left on the D-pad,

    I guess that's good since it means there's still another armor ability we don't know about.

    I'm almost definite it's EMP Blast. The original pics of Spire, from that Mexican website were correct about the map, so I don't see why they wouldn't be correct about the Blast.
    I'm really pumped to see what the redacted AA is and how it works, even if it's not that.

    Don't hold me on this, but my friend is friends with a Bungie Employee and knows alot about Reach. He was even in the Alpha. I was asking him if Bungie hasn't told us anything that he knows, like a surprise for us when Reach comes out. He told me there are supposedly ten armor abilities. I don't know which ones they are and his friend won't tell him what they do, so we will have to just wait and find out.

    Another quick note regarding the Night Vision - You definitely don't need it at all times. In fact, the only time I used it was when Larz told me to lol. When ever they have a Jackal Sniper out on the cliff (there's a huge rock/ridge in the distance on the nightttime map Waterfront), he'd tell me to use the night vision and it definitely helped. But for normal in your face combat the night vision wasn't all that helpful.

    Its probably like Left 4 Dead when the most effective flashlight was the firing of a weapon.
