1UP Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 NEEDS OWN THREAD. TAKEN FROM NEO GAF. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126050 Legendary Edition The CE will be called “Legendary Edition†and is a replica of Master Chief’s helmet complete with four DVD discs. The first disc will be the game disc, the second will contain documentaries and developer comments, the third disc is all about the spin-off material that has been created (Red vs. Blue, Spark of Life etc) and the last disc will contain all of the cut scenes from Halo 1 to 3 in HD. (you can see it on the 3rd photo) ----- Translated by Hyoushi 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 ------ New Weapons: *Spiker: the weapon of choice for brutes. *Spartan Laser: An anti-veichle weapon, fires a red laser that pretty much destroys any veichle that is hit. New Vehicle: *Moongoose: The ATV that was supposed to be in Halo 2. It carries 2 people and it doesn't have any weapons so it's mainly a means of getting from point A to point B as fast as possible." from gamefaqs 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. PICS AT LINK OH AND BTW THERE ARE LOTS OF PLACEHOLDER TEXTURES, WEATHER AND GRAPHICAL EFFECTS ARE MISSING. BUT GOD DAMN ITS HALO!
The fish Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Don't foget that the Assault Rifle is back! Woo! The seeing the other gun on the back thing is also useful. Too many times have I rushed a guy using something like a battle rifle, only for him to pull out a shotgun... Good to see Bloodgulch is back, and buy the look of one of the pics in the scans, they have taken out the really annoying shadows. The orignal was damn good online on the pc version of Halo. Oh, and not having any guns on a Mongoose is no bad thing. If the guy on the back has a rocket launcher and an assault rifle, you become a two-man high speed tank.
1UP Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Its only OK that it doesn't have guns if it faster than the ghost. if its the same speed as the ghost and it doesn't have guns. Oh noes.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 *Spartan Laser: An anti-veichle weapon, fires a red laser that pretty much destroys any veichle that is hit. Gay. Sounds awesome otherwise though.
Kurtle Squad Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Don't foget that the Assault Rifle is back! Woo! Instead of those crappy WWI seeming things and that other piece of rubbish.
1UP Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Gay.Sounds awesome otherwise though. But is also really hard to hit, apparantley, in the high res screenshots u can see that the they miss in all the pics.
Aimless Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The seeing the other gun on the back thing is also useful.Too many times have I rushed a guy using something like a battle rifle, only for him to pull out a shotgun... Prediction: You can steal weapons off of other players' backs. Although I guess it would only really be useful against someone with an Overshield, unless melee assassinations are pulled... Okay, enough guesswork. Subscribers should be receiving their copies of the new EGM in the next few days, so expect more scans to be doing the rounds soonish.
The3rdChildren Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Man, I want to buy the magazine and roll it up into a tube so I can make love to it.
DiemetriX Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Lets hope they don't ruin it. But it looks fantastic.
