I dont no if guys read this yet but i found some new info from Game Informer

OK here we go!

Bungie only allowed GI to play it on Xbox live multiplayer.
so far there are 3 multip maps revealed The waterworks, Burial Mounds, and Lockout.

Waterworks is massive level "successor to the infamous Blood Gultch" and has Banshees, warthogs, and ghosts. In the middle is a large underground Forerunner Structure that may hint that the Forerunners visited earth before.

Lockout is a small multi-teired map built by Forerunners. It has a central tower with satellites and bridges and a new energy elevator.

Burial Mounds is a desert map with ragged metal strewn about. Not too much else mentioned except there is mounted turrets.

Other things confirmed: two handed weapons and a battle rifle, more powerful than its predecessor and has a scope. THere are at least 2 new Covenant,Brutes and Prophets. MC will be able to peek around corners. elites playable in 2player.



And thats it for now

It won't be in co-op. Although it would be neat to play as a traitor elite in co-op. Gain easy acess to enemy bases. Not gonna happen though.

So does that mean you can only play Sparten VS. Elite with 2 players?

You can only play as an elite (as far as we can tell) in Multiplayer (regulary multiplayer)... Not coop or counter-ops (which has no stance as to weither it's in the game or not)

In the story mode you can only play as the chief. In multiplayer arenas you can play as both.

Do any of you guys actually have a copy of the new GI? I just checked Walden Books, and they don't have it here yet.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

According to GI's web site the new magazine is not supposed to hit shelves for 2 more weeks. Only those with subscriptions have them now.

♠The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's friend's enemy♠

Assuming you can play an elite in multiplayer, would you have to aim higher to hit their heads? And would it have a differant "feel" than playing as MC? like could it run slower or be really strong?

Same speed as John, but they jump higher then he could...
