New Halo 3 info on singleplayer and multiplayer

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25756502

This is what they have wrote

"Armour

Both Spartan and Elite character types are playable in multiplayer, but now it appears each comes with additional customization options/ For the Spartans, various standard MJOLNIR is there, of course, plus Cobra, Intruder, Ninja, and Regulator types. Similarly, the Elites have their stanard armour, plus new Predator and Raptor types.

Game Modes

Again, everything you'd expect from Halo 2 is back - Juggernaut, Oddball, King of the Hill, Capture the Flag and all that jazz - but there are some new modes loosely based on custom games some players made up in Halo 2. VIP is sort of new, but was included in the Beta, so we should all be familiar with how it works; Infection on the other hand, is brand new. It's Humans vs Flood starting off with one Flood player agains all the humans; every player who dies at the hands of a Flood becomes a Zombie themselves. There are however a couple of game types we'll admit we know nothing about - Tank Ball and Tank Flag.

Weapons

Flamethrower

The Flamethrower is a returning weapon from the PC version of the original Halo - it has a short range but has the bonus of causeing continual damage.

Smoke Bomb

Not a grenade, but a deployable piece of equipment which will fog out your opponents.

Energy Sword

Has Depleting Battery

Fuel Rod

Is back, but might be Campaign only, although may be accesable through custom games.

Brute Weapons

Gravity Hammer

Same hammer from the end of Halo 2 that tartarus was using.

Excavator

No info.

Co-OP

Only two players may play split-screen on the same Xbox 360.

Up to four players over System Link or Xbox Live."

Thats all i'm gonna say cause I can't be bothered typing more.

The Mag is called Xbox World 360 over in the UK, so go get it if you want more.

[l=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voi]Anyways when i saw the word Voi i had to Wiki it and this is what i found. So it looks like the flood are coming to earth, or are already there in halo 3.[/l]

Also, this is the song list of the songs in Halo 2. look at the second last song its 'Road To Voi'. You heard it here first the first level in HALO 3 is en route to Voi [Jeff Gerstmann Hype Voice]. Also the first Halo 3 trailer is Voi because Bungie confirmed that in that trailer Mount Killimanjaro was in the background so its like a 99.9% chance it is. Seems like the Ark is in Africa (Big surprise)

Cool stuff. Discuss.

Also, I love how Bungie takes some of the fan made stuff and makes them real game modes (i.e. Zombies, a.k.a Infection). MADVLAD123

Actually no the reason they added it was because a lot of the Halo 2 players use to make a lot of custom matches that they named Zombies.

yeah, i know.

ive had my fair share of playing Halo 2 (600k+ kills) so i know where it is from :P

i thought twoof the new armors were called CQB and EVA-Sora

The biggest thing for me is the new armor types, here's hoping they have some kind of effect on Gameplay. That would be a great new addition to Halo's multiplayer IMO. I also hope they get rid of the melee lunge, especially with the sword.TyrantDragon55

CQB and EVA are still in the game.

Interesting.

we know most of this stuff from the beta though...everyone knows that there was a glitch that let you play custom games in the beat right? and it had all those options...ringuzi

No not everyone knows this stuff. And I've done the custom games glitch quite a few times.Even then, I didn'tknown about some of the things posted there.

Ok i will tell you all about the zombie thing in Halo 2.Ok there was custom games called zombies and there are two teams.One team has every player in the game besides one player.And that one player is the zombie.The zombie must kill everyone on the other team two win.The way i played it the zombie had swords and the other team(humans) has shotguns and there were no shields so it is hard to kill the humans.If you are the first person to die you will be the first zombie next game.if oyu get killed by the zombie you must change teams to the Zombie.The colors were the humans were red.The zombies were green.Thats the way i played it in Halo 2 for people that don't knowRavens1995

I wonder if Bungie's verson of Zombies will actually make the player's character turn into the Flood.Like actually looking like a flood fromHalo singleplayer. that would be so cool. It would be really great if they also make it so theFlood gets special jumping and running abilities. AndFlood can only use their hands...

So basically like the predator in far cry. thatwould be quite the awesomeness.

I've said this QUITE a bit of times in this thread. Everything posted there was just NEW stuff that we now know. It's not the full list. That's why the title says NEW Halo 3 info.

why is this in system wars?Mikerules868

Why are all those threads about Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Gears of War, etc... on system wars?

Because people can post them if they want to. Same goes for Halo 3.

When isnt a halo topic in system wars. :P

because they are all going up against somehting on another console (or system) or its an attempt to claim possible ownage over an other system. hence the name system wars. as far as i see this is just info about halo 3, nothing more.

im not sure, but i dont think system warriors care about armor types, some music tracks, custom options etc.

edit: you should system warify it a bit, rather than just quote it.

If people didn't care. they wouldn't have replied.

I don't get it...what exactly is it that you are trying to accomplish?

nevermind.

Its practically the same thing as "NEW CRYSIS VID!!!1!!", or "Heavenly Sword looks amazing! (56k no)"

But instead of visuals we get info.

The lunge is still there but it's been modded to have a slight delay before and after a lunge. Bungie now says shotguns actually have a slight close quarters advantage.

damn... now I have to find a new sig lolMinion123

Sorry about that...And try making your sig in code (not computer code. Just actual code where it's like a puzzle). Don't make it as hard as the Kryptos though. (Wikipedia it, if you don't know).

Only 9 levels ! I was hopping for at least 16ct1257860

Each level is divided up into many chapters, don't worry.
