Spoiler alert! Halo 3 modders reveal new weapons, vehicles, and modes

As Xbox360Fanboy reports, modders at the Halo Mods Forums have tapped into Halo 3 content and revealed a collection of additional content not previously made known by Bungie or Microsoft. In fact, they have managed to make most of their findings public, and it's catching the eyes of most fans everywhere.

Modders reveal new content in Halo 3 - Image 1


But we're not going to slip up and spoil the moment for you. So in light of the situation that should these new content remain unchanged and accessible at the final release of Halo 3, we're setting up a "Spoiler Alert!" beacon on this paragraph. Still aching to learn more? Go ahead - spoil your Halo 3 launch day moments.

New equipment:
  • Instacover
  • Smoke
  • Jammer
New vehicles:
  • Chopper
  • Pelican
  • Shadow
New weapons:
  • Flamethrower
  • Claymore Grenade
New game mode:
  • Infection - "Destroy the Flood or become infected. Score points for killing flood or big points for infecting a human. The player with the most points wins."
New ranking info:
  • Killpocalypse (instead of Double Kill)
  • Killionaire (instead of Triple Kill)
Now, some of the content have come under attack by certain speculation. Multiplayer gamers of Halo: Combat Evolved already have tapped into the Flamethrower eons ago, and the modders on the Halo Mods Forums have apparently used the old screenshot of the Flamethrower in the forums. Because of the questionable image, many people are calling shenanigans on their findings - and that's not including the secret that can already have you flying inside the Pelican for a few more minutes in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Honestly, these new developments has our fingers itchin' for a chance to take out some Spartan-armored goons as a Flood mite. The Infection game mode in Halo 3 might be something reminiscent of Aliens vs. Predator or Tremulous, but being able to infect gun-toting players is an absolute tear-welling moment. Must. Have. Halo 3.

*Note: the original source of this article (meaning the Halo Mods Forums thread revealing the list above) seems to have been taken down. The list above was taken from Xbox360Fanboy.

WTF?

what the hell does this crap have to do with Halo 3.
by - 2007-05-18 18:55:29
NO...just no.

Whoever seriously believes this bullsh*t is retarded. I've already played the beta and there is no such thing. Especially the killionare and killpocalypse thing is so false. It would be in the beta if it was true.
by - 2007-05-18 19:04:46
What the hell?

QJ please remove this guy's useless post. And you rated almost every game as garbage (seriously, an 80 out of 100 is considered "garbage"? What planet do you live on?), how can anyone hate so many different games? I don't even like the PS3 or Sony but a lot of the games you put garbage next to seem awesome. Also, if a 90 is a console-seller, then why does Halo 3 get a decent (85)? Are you trying to say Halo 3 won't be a system-seller? It'll be a bigger system-seller than all the PS3 games you rated "cool" combined. And since 2000 Bioware has made only "3rd rated" games? Ever heard of Knights of the Old Republic? Critically acclaimed as one of the best RPGs ever made. Again, what plant do you live on? WTF does Rare have to do with Mass Effect BTW? You're just out of your mind aren't you?

Excuse me

planet, not plant

yur retard

if you read the post moron you would have noticed that it said it wwasn't in the beta but in the final game. READ THE POST IF YOU WANT TO TALK!

..

@TBRO Im not saying that list is true, but Bungie "did" exclude some weapons from the beta (look at the 1UP interview)
by - 2007-05-18 20:13:30
umm

This "fact" sheet is merely your opinion about games that havent been released, therefore you know nothing about.

OWNED

I know that some was kept out of the beta but seriously. Pelican? Chopper? What use would those have gameplay wise? Flamethrower? Cmon. Stop dreaming about Halo: CE. Jammer and Instacover? Umm...the beta is out already...everyone knows its called the bubble shield...why are they acting like its new? Jammer and smoke could be logical (always thought smoke grenades should be in Halo 3). Claymore grenades? Again, like the bubble shield, we already knew that they were called spike grenades. Why wouldn't they know? The infection gametype...AKA Zombies seems like it could be true but the way it talks about points is suspiciously FAKE sounding. And cmon guys...Bungie would of replaced the Killocalypse and killionare in the beta already if this was true. There's no reason to change the original double and triple kill titles since they were in Halo: CE and Halo 2. The post was also taken down (wonder why...)cause' just face it - it was some guesses by some fanboys that said that they were in the game - except some of their guesses are not logical. I know Bungie kept out some but these guesses are just retardedly illogical.

DO WE NEED MORE STICKING EXPLOSIVES?

How many sticiking explosives are they going to make, what happened to the new Bungie ideas. It's like Halo 2's ending, "It's not original but it works." Bungie ruined Halo 2's story at that point, I just hope they don't do the same for the Plasma Grenade. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go play H3B before my 48 hour free Gold Membership runs out.

The definition of idiocy

Just ignore this joker, he posts this on every pro-360 article. And it only goes to show just how big of an idiot some fanboys can truly be.

just

just some guys opinion does not mean anything pointless post
by - 2007-05-19 02:09:09
Lol

Just realized his post got cut off because he's so stupid, take that crazy man who somehow links Rare to Mass Effect

vehicles

it already says what the vehicles are on the halo 3 website: warthog, mongoose, pelican, banshee, ghost, wraith, scorpion and phantom
by Shatterdome - 2007-05-19 08:44:38
PEople...

Keep in mind that just because they found evidence of these in the game files, doesn't mean they will be used in the final game. Killpocalypse sounds cool, but not only for 2 kills...maybe like 6.... The main thing that bums me out about this, is if MS isn't SUPER good at banning moder's, we will be seeing Halo 3 cheaters popping up very quickly....as it seems they kept the same data format as halo 1/2, since modders have grabbed this info so quickly......which blows...
by - 2007-05-19 11:18:20
BTW g

yes u are man bcuz its already possible on Halo 1 Pc there are implementing all that into Halo 3...and for neone who plays the beta says the same thing that the control feeling and shooting is that of Halo 1 which is why thank that ***** up there god that the Battle Rifle is no comparision to the assault Rifle...haha BR is a ***** Rifle lol so yeh pelican's flamethrowers and all that is gonna be in the game also g claymores arnt spike grenades thats why they are called spike grenades not claymore dip-*****

wow

Was that absolutely necessary? Like really, how does this help anyone in any way. Next thing we get is people blaming Sony fans for this spam.

Hello, I am Fat Man and I weigh 400 pounds! You can see video of my supreme fatness at www.fat-man.org This is not spam this is a good free site showcasing my supreme fatness!

Fatman re:

and I'm sure all the chicks luv u. And what the hell does your comments have to do with Halo3. I'm sure u probably relate to that south park episode "make love not war kraft".

What?

English please. "the Battle Rifle is no comparision to the assault Rifle...haha BR is a ***** Rifle" What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say the AR is better than the BR? You must be terrible at this game, and only play terrible people. I consistently kill people even at close range when they have AR and I have BR. At medium range, forget it, BR wins every time. And do you know what a claymore mine does? It is an anti-personnel weapon which shoots steel balls out across a 60 foot arc in front of itself. Same thing the spiker grenade does... http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m18-claymore.htm
