A lot of us found out about the EGM article when it was leaked, but out of respect and a little CYA we didn’t want to spill the beans on the podcast before the article was published. Now that the article is in circulation, the curtain has been lifted! Behold some of the latest revealed features:
- New brute dual-wieldable shotgun: the “Mauler.” Look good to you or a bit weird?
- Gravity hammer from Tartarus is now usable. Send vehicles flying or hit the ground and push back grenades, etc. Got any ideas for cool customs with this?
- New brute vehicle similar to the Spectre… will it differentiate itself enough? Will it be stronger with a better turret and more protection for passengers?
- New human vehicles: Hornet small flying vehicle and warthog with troop carrier in rear… will these be in multiplayer? What if they are?
- New equipment: portable shield like the covenant ones from Halo 2 and a shield recharger. Which one interests you more? How do you see these being used in strategies?
- New multiplayer map: Guardian (aka Jub-Jub) is the “spiritual” successor to Lockout. Do you think it lives up to the legacy so far? Can you pick out any changes?
- New multiplayer element/vehicle: the Elephant. It’s a vehicle that moves slowly, has a turret, holds 12 and has a flag/assault plant spot! Will moving bases really provide that much of a strategic element? How can you see this being used?
- New Elite armor variants… but do the Elites still have a structural disadvantage with headshots? You like the new look options?
- 4 player co-op online CONFIRMED! This is going to make for some serious tales from the foxhole.
- Meta-game in campaign: Compete in co-op for fastest complete time, most headshots, most vehicle boards, etc. Do you see this extending the life of campaign and co-op?
- FORGE: the coolest thing ever. Edit Halo 3 maps and share them online! Got any ideas already for maps we’ve seen?
- Forge games: you can switch to a spartan in forge and fight, and it keeps score! This makes for some really creative customs… got any ideas?
