Halo 3 multiplayer: what's old is new again |
Ó
As promised, 1UP has emerged with their close-up, exclusive coverage of Bungie's Halo 3, today with a peek into three multiplayer maps in the game. And this sneak peek offers some of the new things you'll see when you lock-and-load with the Master Chief - or your Red/Blue teammates, such as the new weapons, environments, and vehicles. And vehicles... er, read on.
A multiplayer map called Snowbound, for example, has automated gun turrets. Yes, automated gun turrets. How do you like your Spartan: Swiss Cheesed or freshly grated? And the "Shield Doors". They're what they say they are: Shield Doors. Spartans can check in, and they can check out, too. Explosions and gunfire won't, however. We foresee a legion of camper ****s hanging near one of these doors one day.
Next map 1UP got to play in is called "High Ground". Reminiscent of Halo 2's Zanzibar (except more compact), this map features multiple ways to infiltrate its defending base, from blowing the front hatch open to infiltrating through side paths and out-of-the-way bunkers.
This map was also 1UP's first look at the Spike Grenade. It's a shaped charge grenade that explodes in a certain direction, as opposed to all over the place, and is covered in spikes so it can impale itself to walls. Just walls, 1UP? Someone's itching to impale this Nail Bat on someone's head. We wonder what the effect would be.
Valhalla is the last playground in the preview. Here be the Man Cannon, which will launch players, vehicles, and boxes halfway across the map. Here be the Spartan Laser, which is actually more of a big energy orb of pure pwnage with a red laser aiming sight rather than a laser weapon per se. Treat it like a makeshift rocket launcher.
And here be the Mongoose ATV, which will be the fastest ground ship in the multiplayer fleet, says Bungie. And where Halo 3 players can, by pressing RB, "ride Brokeback." (A minute of eternal silence as the crickets chirp in the background). We have no idea what Bungie was thinking.

AWESOMe... another exclusive!!! cant wait to pwned with the HALO again... but for now... GOW is more than enough... MUAHAHAHAHAH!!! !!
Halo 3 is gonna rule the gaming world
This seriously sounds like its going to suck. The graphics will be great, but, its not going to be fun. Its gonna be another sniper *****-fest, 1 or 2 people whoring the most overpowering weapons on the map, partying with random people who suck and give you no help ...
Really, this sounds more annoying than Halo 2 multiplayer.
When an online multiplayer game takes TOO MUCH STRATEGY to play, its not fun anymore. Its work. This isn't supposed to be the army, its supposed to be a GAME.
however bad your teamates are you can make up for it with your own skill in halo...unlike in gears of war though, where if your teamates suck you screwed

seriously get over yourself
you suck at halo and no one cares thats why you are shot in the face every two seconds
stop complaining and go out to the store and buy some skill.....o wait you would still suck!! Halo 3 will pwn....end of story.
i dont think halo would be good as people seem to be plus i can tell now bunige has lots of pressure because of gears of war
If you think its going to suck DONT BUY IT , freakin retard, why even post on the page , get a life . another thing your not even a gamer are you?
a true gamer plays everything.
this dosent mean that they are good at it it just means they love games.
and the multiplayer games NEED to have more stratagy . MULTIplayer , meaning more then one person, if you dont want stratagy then go play astropop or something,
anyhow HALO!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
