Well, after getting Generals back (yay!) i had a good game of it. But my game was cut short. I decided to try and get $2 million. I did this by building a tonne of USA money drop off centers and also a whole load of GLA Black Markets. But i think i built too many as the game crashed unexpectedly, just as i was nearing the $2 million mark. Next time I will have to go against teams harder than Easy as it really is a walk in the park. 5 missile turrets to the entrance of your base and you are sorted for the whole match.
Anyway, news about Halo 3. Screenshots and a whole tonne of info is being published in Novembers edition of EGM and several other game magazines. So far, i cant really say i know all that much as i have only seen scans of the German version of the magazine. I think it is German, that or Swedish. But, a few sections have been translated and this is what i can tell you IS in the magazine.
Mongoose - The new 2 person ATV type vehicle. Fitted with no weapons but has a huge top speed over the ghost and Warthog.
Galileian/Spartan Laser - One of the many new weapons being added in is the Spartan Anti Vehicle Laser. A red beam that apparently can rip vehicles apart in seconds. A good addition im my opinion, much better than constantly relying on getting to the rockets first.
Brute Spiker - I believe this is a one handed "nail gun". Of course including the complimentory Brute-esque blade across the bottom of them. Looks pretty cool but i dont know about their power or versatility.
Brute Spiker Grenades - A new type of grenades to join the ancient Plasma and Frag nades. This nade can stick to walls and when detonated, leaves any nearby enemies looking like a pin cushion.
Brute Ghost - I dont know how reliable the claim on these new Ghosts are but i havent heard much about them. I read a short description of the new weapons and saw that one of the things listed was the Brute Ghost. I presume that they are predominately bigger than their older brothers but probably are slower and fire red lasers, maybe stronger than the blue ones.
Another thing to note is that they have added a new multiplayer feature. This is that you will now be able to see a players secondary weapon across their back. I think this will make multiplayer a bit easier on judgements. If you see a guy pussying about with an SMG and think you can get an easy kill by charging him but then see he has a Sword or Shotgun across his back, you might want to rethink your tactics. It might take the thrill out of it for the guy with the Sword, but will maybe make things easier for the rest of us when we have a chance to assess the situation.
In all honesty, im pretty glad to see that alot of news on Halo 3 is being published. At the moment, alot of us Halo fans are left in the dark on a little of the material being planned for Halo 3. By the end of November, Bungie will have said/explained alot more of the material in the magazines and will make a lot of fans; including this one, very happy.
