I can't make out what they're supposed to be... doing.

Nothing but dust and echoes, Chief.

Looking up and swapping their weapons on a high drug sorta level.

I actually forget what the banner is anymore...

They're giving the thumbs up.

To whom or what, who can say?

Something something, your mother.

they're throwing it

Perhaps it can be replaced with the picture Pip took of all of us.

Also. Please say I'm not the only one who noticed this or felt put off buy it.

But Verb said "Spartans."

Considering that he's not exactly a fan of Halo, seeing him say "Spartans" is weird.

Like, fuck. I doubt if even half the average playerbase of Halo even knows the codename the soldiers go by.

It isn't like it's plastered all over the games or anything

So was the story, but most people got confused when the games go beyond RAWR ALIENS R TEH BAD GUIIYYSS

They're giving the middle finger to 343i

Wasn't that Halo 3's plot?

A tactical nuke has detonated in their AO so they're determining if they're inside the hazardous radiation zone by measuring the mushroom cloud with an outstretched thumb.

Nah. Most people (At least at launch) seemed to think H3 was a better plot than 4. Apparently, tey never explained who this random ore runner was despite having an entire terminal series and a cutscene dedicated to summing up the forerunner saga.

I always admire how 343 managed to make soenthing so great by picking up te shit Bungie left behind. They even managed a pretty reasonable explanation for Halo 3's high charity fiasco and basically the entire tineline inconsistency with Reqch. If Bungie were still in charge, they'd have just ignored it and carried on.

There was a glitch, where if you deleted weapons, or picked them up in Forge, at the exact second that they swapped for it, their arms would be crazy.  Kinda looks like that.
