Well it's your choice...
a. It takes place in Candyland
b. It takes place in a Lizard's stomach
c. It takes place in a forest/jungle/swamp place


What about a little bit of A,B, and C!!!


Ok what I mean here is one base is the lizard's stomach, and the other base is candy land. In between the two bases is the forest. It is based off of the SP mission, "Chocalate Hill", where you help the the last human force in the Great Forest of Willy. In the mission you must destroy the Covenant's master tree shreder ,which is the Big Lizard, by planting a bomb in it's stomach. By the way the map is made for assualt.

Also, unrelated to the Updates: I have found that gamespot used to say that Halo 3 came out October 03rd, 2006, but is now taken down completely... Strange...


that would be impossibly cool, but doubtful

i still think 7/7/07 is gonna be the release date

That is a good release date, however it is a very long wait. But if that's what it takes for Bungie to make a game that will kick-butt then so be it.

In light of the latest Update we can confirm the following:

-The Beam Rifle is in the game and remastered
-The old weapons (at least some) are remastered and in the game
-There are new weapons in Halo 3
-There is a new giant alien thing
-The AI is greatly imporved

Theory of the week:
-The new (giant) alien is the Drinol which was not put in halo 2 because of its size.

Post thaughts and anything I missed here.

-There is a new giant alien thing

Just for an attempt at rumor busting, they said it was something bigger then a grunt.

1) Giant is going to start rumors that this huge creature is gonna take up a 1/4 of the screen and shoot fire.. He could be the size of a human.

Also we don't know that its alien, I mean grunts may be fighting alongn side with humans now, but I doubt its something of human creation

Sorry... Well, though he did say something bigger than a grunt, he (I think) didn't mention the exact name on purpose. So we can assume it is a new species. He said that the grunts were sent out to his flank (probably by the thing that is bigger than a grunt). And in any case I doubt it's human so let's classify it as alien. Anyway, we can safely assume it is one of the following:

-An Elite
-A Brute
-A Jackal
-A Hunter
-A Drinol
-Another Wierd-Named Alien
or
-FLOOD (OMG)


Plus, there is a new gametype that is apparently scary and funny at times while being fun. (Probably something with no radar.)

In light of the new update we can get some info about the UI of Halo 3. Here it is:

-The interface is designed to make it very simple to get to a "lobby" and make all necessary changes from there
-You can customize your experience, appearance, and more importantly, really specific game types from anywhere.
-More Quick Options
-You can now change your controller setting from anywhere, at any time
-Different than Halo 2's UI

EDIT: Sorry for triple posting, but I am getting sick of multiple threads about *WEEKLY UPDATE 07/07/06*. This should clear up that clutter... If no one else posts a different thread.
