    yep.. i’m hoping its like a bad company halo style first person shooter with maybe some added in destruction of everything like in gears of war.. i think that’s what they are hinting at by the buildings crumbling all around in the teaser i hope :o)

    I am hoping the environments are destructible and rich in detail like Fallout 3. I am sold either way.

    I want to destroy a bridge and watch it collapse onto a barge that then sinks.

    what i really want to know what weapon he is using,which has gotten me more excited.

    is this include with or separate from the mythic maps? I have also heard that this new campaign might be an expansion disk, does that have any merit? And that gun is a smg with a suppressor.

    From what I’ve been able to find, it’s going to be all new maps for multi-player - campaign levels and even a possible *map editor* - SWEET

    on disc,with full forge options.it retains all the options.
    this game also has more emphasis on stealth than “Halo 3″

    the weapon he looks like he is useing is an SMG silenced.
    would make sence that such a good weapon that is soo small and light, and that carries a really huge magazine (Ammo) size that it would be used in special ops teams in the UNSC.
    this is the kinda game i want to happen. like ghost recon and Bad company with some halo mixed in. it’s like someone had reached in my mind and found out what i want in a vid game.

    now this is more like it, no teammates to help you (i hope) and you are a bad ass guy you can drop every one in about three seconds. Best of all IT’S MADE BY BUNJI. YAY! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    a marine, who can actually kill stuff with an assualt rifle? Where was he when mc took on halo?

    The vid is way awesome if anyone else has not seen it yet you should.
    And yes that is a silenced SMG, but how the hell is he going to take on a brute with an SMG? Even ODST troopers get owned in H2 and 3. I would like to know how this one plays.out. According to bungie it takes place after the slipspace rupture on New Mombasa (if you remember the campaign followed MC into the rupture which lead to delta halo in H2).

  11. 11 - WTFMACHINE on October 13th, 2008 12:09 pm

    it’s hella easy, the smg and the AR is the easiest way to take out a brutes power armour, then switch out to a BR or a Pistol and take out the brute with a head shot. if your good enough, like me, you can get through campaighn on H3 with just an assualt rifle. Remember, fire in small bursts for longer range.

    will this cost the normal 800 points, or will it cost more?

  13. 13 - WTFMACHINE on October 14th, 2008 8:43 pm

    i havn’t played H2, but i played parts of it, i’m a little shaky on the rupture. this is what i know.

    H2 starts out after the instillation 04 blew up. MC gets a metal, and the future Arbiture gets tortutred for is failing, yet the prophes want him alive for the new armour (or rank). then the covy fleet attacks earth, taking all the defences out. then MC gets to the surface and destroyes a SCARAB tank. then all this doodaa happens you do this and that, kill this grunt and that grunt. then finally a covy ship is about to go into hyperspace when the Forward Unto Dawn follows it to where ever it was heading (instillation 06, correct me if i’m wrong on any part of this comment) the slip stream rupture was so enormous that it took out new mambassa, along with the space elavator (my mistake it colasped when the city got glased)

    i think this because in H3 the savana of Africa is covered in round wrecked things, also in the level Tsavo Highway the very first part when you get out of the caves, you have to help out a couple marines in an outpost garding the entrance, then you go out side and you’ll see a bunch of grunts jackles and a brute running up the hill. behind them is a peice of the tether and a crashed Phantom. kill all of the enemies thenhead back to the entrance (it’ll be easier to explain) turn around to face the space elavator and drive to the left, there you’ll see an over with a fantastic veiw of the savana, but you have to be almost on the edge. then over the raidio you’ll hear Hocus (code name for the pelican piolet) talking to Sargent Johnson about the Mombassa space port) the convorsation is:

    Hocus: Mombasa space elevator!
    Johnson: Colasped when the city got glassed.
    Hocus: But the tether was thousands of feet high!
    Johnson: Ya, now it’s scattered all over the savana.
    Hocus sighs deeply in fustration that the covy has nearly destroyed earth.

    think it’s hocus and Johnson talking or it could be other people. remember correct me if i’m wrong!

    Wow, this looks amazing. One thing to remember though is that it’s a halo 3 campaign expansion (among other things). It’s not a brand new game, and will just be expanding on the current mechanics. So it’s unlikely we will get whole new radical elements of stealth or squad based mechanics. Hopefully the game will offer a more tactical approach to areas, with multiple flanking routes and elevated positions to rain down deadly fire on the enemy (both of which we’ve see more of in Halo 3 then in 1&2), but at the same time stay consistent and true to what has made the Halo FPS so great.

    Oh and WTFMACHINE, your post is fine, the only mistake was that it was Instillation 05 not 6, otherwise it’s fine.

  16. 16 - WTFMACHINE on October 22nd, 2008 12:06 pm

    ya i caught that when i post it, thnks. sounds like it’s a team based play like Ghost recon 2 advanced warfighter, hate team play.

    can’t wait looks awesome, it also looks like there is a AI that will help you with the street signs and such.

    I have a question is halo 3 recon an expension map or a disk ,if it is a disk can you play against halo 3 multiplayer….campaign….
    i hope that you won’t only play on earth but also on installation 00,maybe while mc is on the ark you and the elites will fight in space

  21. 21 - admin on November 4th, 2008 2:44 pm

    From what I’ve been able to find, it’s a stand alone game, not compatible with Halo 3 - it will have new multi-player maps. Of course, all of this could change by the time the game comes out.

  22. 22 - hotshot on November 5th, 2008 9:14 am

    Halo games are the best games ever, it’s a campaign expension,new levels
    and multiplayer:forge,maps,…. and the co-up will there be arbiter?

  23. 23 - hotshot on November 7th, 2008 2:19 pm
