I dunno if anyone's noticed these...? I was just flying through Boneyard in the theater and saw 3 little dots that were shaped like jets or birds from a distance. I flew in closer and realized they were mini-longswords. They don't move or anything, but their jets are going off.
Pretty sure they fly over and bomb the covenant after a Spartan victory. They did in the beta anyways.
Never noticed that.. Shows how much I pay attention. It's weird to me that they'd be miniature sized, though. They're about the length of a DMR.
In the beta, if the spartans win, they would drop bombs and kill all elites. They took it out in the full game because it was too much to load and you would almost never see the explosions (the elites would just drop dead for no reason); when you saw the explosions, you would normally notice that fusion coils were raining on the players. Now, they still exist, but only take out the phantoms and even that looks glitchy (because you almost never see the longsword explosive shots, just an explosion that looks like a phantom self-destructing).
If you get out of the campiagn mission with the spire, there is mini warthogs, scorpions and phantoms moving around in circles. A Spartan is bigger than all of them. I'll have to take a pic sometime.
Oh wow. They couldn't have devised a better system? It's not like they're the creators of the game or anything.. lol. I haven't really tried getting out of any campaign levels. I'll have to try that out and see if I can find them.
