SINGLE PLAYER
* Bungie confirmed the campaign will take place on both earth and a 2nd Halo Ring.
* "Dual wielding is in for certain, and peeking around corners should make it in as well. Destrucible environments are also expected to be included."
* Brute and Prophet confirmed, likely to be atleast one more covenant added.
MULTIPLAYER
* Online 5 week Alpha test has been completed. The test was available only to 1000 M$ employees.
* Elites WILL be playable in atleast 1 multiplayer mode
* New multi modes confirmed, (only one described)
Assault - offense carries bomb into defense's base to score a point, roles switch after a point is scored
* "ONLINE COOP LIKELY"
* Interactive envoirments
In alpha version objects could be moved by being shot or by pushing them, could be pushed off ledges.
Final version likely to contain quite a bit more interaction with envoirments.
* Ghost and Banshee will have a new addition - Holding the L trigger will cause engines to flare and cause you to move across the map at unheard of speeds
* New "energy elevator contraption" - stepping into the swirling energy beam lifts the player up like a strong air current. Players CAN fire will being elevated (unlike when using a ladder)
* Atleast 4 teams confirmed
