Cleaning up Halo 3's Swedish meatballs |
Ó
Time to wipe the drool off your Halo 3 Swedish magazine scans, girls and boys. Ever since those scans popped up in forums, gamers and game media alike have lit the Internet up like a Jack-o-Lantern with speculation. So 1UP steps up front and center and cleans up after some speculation running in IGN, Gamespot, and Kotaku.We bring you the summary below. Nothing to drool at, but at least the data's more firm than if we or 1UP Babelfished the Level - the Swedish mag - scans. After all, 1UP and EGM's been talking to Bungie for an exclusive preview of Halo 3, so they're in a better position to clear these things up:
- Bungie's trying to tweak the balance of the Spartan anti-vehicle laser, which showed "surprising versatility" as an anti-personnel weapon. In other words, not as new as IGN thought it would be. Just being rebalanced.
- Spiker: Kotaku thought it would be a melee weapon. The melee's really a secondary attack, there's a ranged primary attack available.
- Kotaku's "Nail grenade": in reality a Spike Grenade, which 1UP says combines the best elements of the frag and plasma grenade.
- New mountings for weaponry: the Spiker rests on the hip, two-handed weapons will be slung across the back, single-hand weapons on leg holsters.
- Gamespot's identified a sort of "Man Cannon" and hoped it was a "translation error." 1UP reports that it's not, so far. It is as it is called: a circus-freak cannon designed to blast you through the air. If you want to crack any "Man Cannon" jokes, fire away now.
- Contrary to IGN's hopes, multiplayer is still 16-players max. Many of the maps are being designed around 4 vs. 4 encounters, the "sweet spot" of Halo 2 multiplayer games.

EXCELLENT! Now it wont look as though the MC pulls the rocket launcher out of the air after switching from the pistol.
On the other hand, where does the MC store the extra ammo?? I bet he pulls the spare rockets outta his a$$ lol.

so yeah... can't wait...
but does this mean now we have 3 weapons to shoose from at a single time???
I can't be sure. Heck, even if it's in English, I still have to interpret what 1UP actually meant. For now, let's just safely assume you'll know what your opponent's carrying just by looking at him, 'kay? (Speaking of which, that's speculating, too.)
Whoa ... the reflecting light on the right side which squares the moon looks like the Quake Sign ... ^^
I think thats worth a discussion ^^
