Halo 3 Details Begin to Emerge 70
Eurogamer has a short rundown on some Halo 3 details which have emerged from the Swedish games mag LEVEL. There are a few details on weapons, levels, combat mechanics, and a super-special helmet edition for the game. From the article: "Finally, there's news on the contents of the Halo 3 'Legendary Edition', which will consist of four DVDs' worth of content and, amusingly, a replica Spartan helmet. So what's on those four discs? Well, the game, obviously, and then documentaries and developer commentaries, bonus material like Red vs. Blue episodes, and cut-scenes from Halo 1 to 3 in high-definition. There will also be some sort of Halo film trailer located in the package." 1up has announced they're going to have a bevy of features on the game tying in to the new issue of EGM, so more details should be available online soon.

Wash it off...take a hot shower. Go on vacation for a month, and you'll pretty much forget the whole thing.
The only way to lose dignity is to decide you don't deserve it. Making a ton of money for doing something stupid does not mean you lose your dignity, it just means you made a wise business decision.

I noticed that most of these improvements will appeal to the multiplayer crowd... which would make sense since Halo 2 also seemed to focus more attention on its multiplayer than on its single player campaign (and that shows because it was panned by critics for it). I'd have to admit that the first one wasn't that great in single player mode, and I never actually played it all the way through... But the multi, it definitely fills the void for console gamers that Unreal Tournament fills for PC gamers.

I think a lot of the love for Halo comes from the story/art/audio, etc. I get tired of people who complain about gameplay "you only kill stuff in FPS". Well duh, that's why it's fpS. The point is: are you just mindlessly blowing up aliens for no good reason? Or is

Of course the reason I disagree is because of things like the Rockslide Megabattle and others [virgin.net]. Have you tried these? If not, I recommend trying them out. Even though they are not intentional parts of the gameplay designed by Bungie, they are some of the most intense single-player gamepla

That's a really, really sad statement about what we expect from the gaming industry. Imagine a new album coming out from a band you like, and when you find out that it has guitar, bass, and drums you're like "oh great! screw this! I want some innovation!"
Since when did we measure entertainment by innovation? Are we tired of pianos now? Is it impossible to write new music for the acoustic guitar?

Yeah, exactly. So if the story (what you tell with the gameplay) was the same, that would be like the music being the same. But why should the gameplay (e.g. the instruments used to make the music) change?

The story is more like the lyrics. I enjoy the lyrics too, but the same song with different lyrics is rarely seen except as a parody. The gameplay is the "sound" of the album, the general feeling, the way the instruments are played
