GameFAQs posted: Swedish magazine level has had the chance to play halo 3 in multiplayer and there are 3 levels which is revealed, Valhalla = blood gulch, High Ground = Zanzibar, Snowbound = Frost bite. New vehicle - Mongoose, mostly for transport 2 persons. new weapon- spartan laser, hard to use but extremely powerful vehicle destroyer apparently - nail grenade, sticks on walls and emits nails into the air. new weapon - spiker (brute weapon), your secondary weapon is visible at all times at your back. (THANK GOD!!!) New transportation system in multilayer- man cannon, launches you into the air through air streams, you can still be fired at and you can fire back. The X-button will have a special use which Bungie will not reveal. No bots will come to H3. that will be all. Bumper buttons can be used to reload both weapons independantly. On plot twists "Halo 3 will contain more plot twists than any other game in the series" --Jaime Griesemer On Gears of War being competition "We've played lots and lots of multiplayer and some singleplayer, and yeah, it's really good. But it's also quite a bit different from what we're doing. I realize that a lot of people are concerned that Halo 3 and GoW are going to compete for the same audience, but I think that when people get to play, they'll realize how different the games are. Gears is a much slower game where stragegy and cover plays a bigger part." --Jaime Griesemer On graphics "A lot is still missing in this build. Weather- and water effects are missing, and most of our HDR isn't in there yet. We're still at alpha stage, but when everything is in place, Halo 3 will be the best X360 has to offer." --Brian Jarrard "We definitely have another strategy than Epic Games when it comes to graphics. We'll never engulf our game environments in lots of details like that. GoW looks absolutely fantastic, but we want to avoid compromising Halo's unique visual style. That's why we're making a clean, sharp game as opposed to one with insane amount of details." --Brian Jarrard "There are many ways to convey emotion. Graphics is not the most important one." --Brian Jarrard On multiplayer and bots "Multiplayer has always been important, but it's developed in a different way which makes it look bigger for every game. We have a base that we always build the MP part on, whereas the SP mode practically has to be built ground-up every time. Xbox Live also made MP in Halo 2 even more important." --Brian Jarrard "A lot of people ask us about bots. They think that the AI in Halo was pretty damn good, and would work well in MP as well, but it's really not that simple. The enemies in Halo are optimized for encountering the player in large numbers. They would be a lot worse at abstract thought AI like 'I have to defend my flag' and so forth. In short, to create bots for Halo would be an immense undertaking, and we rather put that time into making new levels, weapons and netcode." --Jaime Griesemer |

1UP posted: In the just-redesigned December issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (subscribers should have it any day now) a handful of editors took Halo 3's multiplayer game hands-on. The result? A 17-page cover story and a three-week series of stories on 1UP called "3 Weeks of Halo 3." Before all of that information ends up in your hands, though -- here's some of what to expect from both EGM and 1UP over the next few weeks: # What's are these new Brutish weapons? What's a Spike Rifle, or a Spike Grenade? # The Mongoose (the once-scrapped ATV from Halo/Halo 2) is back: Who wants to ride Brokeback? # Halo 3 will have three retail SKUs, standard, collector's edition and Legendary. Guess which one comes with a helmet and 4 discs of content? # Adding bumpers to the 360 controller means there's some extra real estate for Bungie to play with. Now the left bumper releads your dual wielded weapon and the right bumper is the reload. What does X do, though? Mum. # Starting weapon: Bungie thinks they have the "perfect" starting weapon in Halo 3. It's not the pistol, the battle rifle or the SMG and it's pretty familiar. How does the new Assault Rifle play? # One of the new maps, Valhalla, is being called "the new Blood Gulch" -- but this isn't another coat of new paint on the Combat Evolved classic, this is from-the-ground-up a brand new map. How is it? # What if you could save your own movies from Halo 3's single and multiplayer gameplay and then rewatch them? In Halo 3, you can. |
FINALLY!

halo 2; the dvd disc that comes with the halo 2 limited edition has videos of the mongoose. it was gonna be in the game but the developers didnt know how it would work (weapons mounted, etc). glad to hear thats in, mongoose was pretty awesome
also, i wonder if they will have those other wort hog versions from the dvd in there (like a snow warthog). i believe if they make another warthog, and they do it like the gauss warthog, then i will be happy with the rides. cause i love the gauss over the Chain gun 'hog
