Subject: Way Beyond the Beta: Screenshots Galore

Months ago, media mens came to the Bungie headquarters to get some new scoops in the wake of the Halo 3 Public Beta. They saw some new maps, now you can see them, as well.

Pop, lock and drop it.

Will the new brute chopper be available in all of the new maps, and in Campaign? Also, will the new armor cost, say gamerpoints, to upgrade?

Sigs just aren't what they used to be.

I can't wait to try out the amor permutations.

I hope these maps are as cool as halo2 multiplayer. I am afraid they may be too big for four-on-four competition. I think Vahalla is a great map with a cool feature(man cannon) but it seems very spacious. I wonder if bungie will have dedicated 6 v6 matches for some of the bigger maps. Graphics look sweet. The brute chopper looks bad-ass. I hope there are more options in terms of "flying" vehicles; other than the Banshee.

RIP Halo 2

I am pretty sure that the new armor will be unlocked as you beat the campaign story.

Wow, thank god no armor permutations would be taken out of MP like some lunatic had said in the forums. I will look forward to playing with 1 of the "numerous" helmets. I also like the fact that you can unlock them.

Hmmm.. I wouldn't be too sure about that. I think you might need to increase your skill level or rank in multiplayer to unlock the new armor.. kinda like the way they had it in Rainbow Six: Vegas.

  • 07.03.2007 5:53 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

Out of all this news the only one I am truly excited about is Last Resort. I can't wait to play that map.

I agree with you Leb, it would make more sense if they did the RSV style of armor unlocking.

there's Master Chief.

Two new maps? Come on, just give us Shrine, we've seen the pics in the Gamepro mag and IGN. It really isn't a mystery. Both have talked about the map in depth. But the screenshots are awesome. Thanks
And BTW, for those wondering, the armor is unlocked via the campaign, somehow. But I have a question, is the armor just for visuals or will they play a different role in MP?

Who you calling a kid? Anyway, it would be more of a challenge. Well, it at least seems fun to me. :) No offense.

Woah.....I WANT that Brute Chopper. 75MPH???

  • 07.03.2007 6:05 PM PDT

mabye you can unlock them if you get a certain amount of RP (I like E.V.A. armor). The new Zanzibar looks awesome. But how to you pronounce Epitaph?
That brute chopper looks so cool!!! Think of a guy mowing into a battle splattering everyone in that thing.
