Actual Halo 3 Details From EGM Magazine!

Post by HPDarkness1 »

THIS IS GOING TO BE OFFICIALLY IN EGM MAGAZINE. There is no reason to lock it.

Halo: new weapons, vehicles,Edition


Weapons
Spiker - a new Brute weapon
Spartan laser - a laser that tears vehicles apart
Nail Grenade - sticks into walls and sends nails everywhere


Vehicles

The Mongoose! It seats two and has no weapons. Designed for recon and quick travel.

Multiplayer

The "Man Cannon" - Spartans do their best Human Bullet impersonations for some extremely rapid transport. Players can still shoot in the air, and can be shot down.

Controls
The X button has a new, still secret feature. Reloading has now been allocated to the bumper buttons. Right bumper reloads the right weapon, and the left bumper reloads the left. Genius.

Miscellaneous
You can now see your secondary weapon when it's not in use. In other words, it's actually slung over your shoulder instead of magically appearing out of thin air. Also, a 4 DVD "Legendary" edition is planned that will have material from Red Vs. Blue, documentaries, and a collection of all cut scenes from the game.

I have to agree. But I think we are seeing the most top atom on an iceberg the size of the sun.

I guarantee there will be other weapons. But do we really need them? Halo 1 and 2's weapons are fine. Some new weapons would be cool, but I could care less.

personally those scans looked fake to me or not new content
maybe left over Halo 2 stuff that was left out

the graphics are not close to gears and the MC to me didn't look much like the trailer on XBL

I smell fake or old stuff

surely H3 will be at least as good looking as Gears with the extra time AND resources they have....that's another reason all of that looks too iffy

sure looks a lot like the stuff that halo 2 was supposed to have but was left out

It was not fake. Although some of the scans were original Bungie Art not screen shots. As for all the details, this is still the ALPHA BUILD of Halo 3. It's going to obviously change they even said at there interview with EGM that most of the textures on the maps and models were low res.

There is no such thing as second person. But with slung-over shoulder will mean that it will take longer to switch weapons because they will have to have an animation to get it unless it would be dumb.
My real name is a Mammoth, if someone who cares sees this, please change my name to a Mammoth

They mean OTHERS can see the weapon you're carrying slung over your back. If you look at the S$can$s then you can see pics of a MA5B or BR slung over the MC's back. I think there's a pic of MC holding the Spartan Laser too, its 1st person.
