Bungie recently has released information about Halo 3 to a few gaming magazines. You can check out Gamespot's news story on it here: www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=25091223&sid=6160605&tag=latestnews;title;0Also, here are a few scans of the Swedish Magazine, LEVEL: www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126050And here's some information: -new weapon for the brutes, called the Spiker -Spartan laser, which destroys any vehicle that it hits -Mongoose, the ATV that was supposed to be in Halo 2 -Valhalla, the new Blood Gulch (WTF) -High Ground, new Zanzibar -Snowbound, take a guess -nail grenade, sticks to walls and emits nails into the air (whatever Bungie, its your game) -secondary weapons are now visible to other players -new form of transportation via the man cannon, my guess is its similar to the air vents on Foundation, only at higher speeds -reload with the left and right bumpers, the X-Button will have a special use that is not yet revealed -there will be NO bots in Halo 3 (guess that's what Counter Strike is for, right) Last, but not least, the Halo 3 limited edition, or Legendary Edition will come in the form of MC's Helmet! That is FUCKING BADASS Bungie, I'm getting that bitch even if it is $100! |

Fucking kick ass. I always wondered when they were gonna put the Mongoose in the damn game, they had tests on it when they were developing Halo: CE. I saw it on a show on G4 when it was TechTV and it wasn't gay. Plus in the Halo: CE E3 "preview," they had the Spectre, and MC could use the n00bstick (sword), which you couldn't do in the first one anyways. Hopefully in Halo 3, Bungie will include all of the creatures, vehicles, and weapons they had designs for in Halo 2. (On the limited edition DVD)
Plus, if they are gonna make the RB and LB shoulder buttons into reload, I'm gonna be pissed. If the controls are fully customizable, I won't personally go to Chicago (I think) and fuck Bungie. I need the X-button to be reload. Otherwise I can't play the game as good as I should be. Like in Star Wars: BattleFront 2, I configured it so that the X-button is reload instead of some gay target tracking bullshit. Only pussies need target tracking. I can't stand it, like if two guys are coming towards me, then I shoot the other one instead of the one I really want to shoot. ~Also in Halo 2~, they better forget that shit in Halo 3 or I will be pissed. I will personally get a 360 when Halo 3 comes out, only I'll make it up of adamantium, so it never breaks, because these fuckers that live here break all my shit. I guess that's all I have to say besides that I am really excited for Halo 3. Just like the rest of the actual intelligent world that plays BOTH the Halo games. Not just Halo 2. I'm looking at you, Treye.
<end kick-ass statement>

I'm not too worried about the control configuration. Bungie constantly updates its builds of the game, and they are constantly playing them (and also, shoving it in our faces) in order to make sure the game is still fun and that it still has the halo feel to it. Frankie also said in his weekly update that he had a hard time getting used to the new controls, but once he did it was 'like riding a bike'. I wish they would put bots in though, even if they are as shitty as the ones in counter strike. It's always fun shooting at something that can't talk shit about how bad your sniper shot is  Bungie is now located in Kirkland, Washington near Microsoft who bought them out shortly after the original Halo was released. The local Starbuck's is also conveniently placed across the street from Bungie's studio  ...bastards |

I thought Microsoft was in Redmond, you doof. I don't know, but if the controls aren't right, I won't own at a game very well. Like one time Adan had me come to his house to play SOCOM Online, and Jesus H. Christ!!! I mean, it's all like reverse southpaw!! How the fuck could someone play reverse southpaw? It doesn't make any sense! Adan said that reverse southpaw is more realistic than default. What the hell's wrong with him? He always says I'm bitching about the fucking games, but all I wanted him to fucking do was change it from that bullshit reverse southpaw to awesome default. Hey wait.... Notice that the right way to use controls is DEFAULT!!! Why do you think they called it that? Because it is the NORMAL way to control things. Adan you fucking suck. You could have just changed it to default, and I would have been good. Nope, you didn't. And shut up Devon, I don't bitch at things I'm not good at. I bitch because Adan won't change it to fucking default. Oh, and Adan fucking sucked at that game, too. Whatever. When he changed the controls on Killzone, I owned ass. Maybe he remembers that and won't spit out more lies about me. Eg: I did not cry when supposedly I stole a dollar from him, and he said we couldn't be friends. I couldn't have cared less if we were friends or not. That is a definite lie, unless he's talking about someone else, because he couldn't remember.
P.S. Reverse southpaw is where you use the right stick to look up and down, move left and right and use the left stick to look left and right, move forward and backward. Who in the hell could use that? Adan has very high expectations of me, obviously. What a dumbass.
I hate SOCOM, because the actual default in that game isn't the international default. Retarded...

Kirkland is like 5 miles from Redmond, thanks to Google Earth.
I've never played Socom, or any other PS2 shooter besides maybe battlefront at Ziesman's. And from that experience, my opinion on the Dual-Shock controller is that it sucks balls. Maybe its cause I play way too much halo with the xbox controllers that whenever I pick up a PS2 controller it feels all weird and shitty. Or it could also be that the fuckin PS2 analog sticks are 'outies' instead of an 'innies'. You know, when you try and aim with the PS2 controller your finger slips of the stick and then your all fucked up.

Yeah, man. Innies are way better. Plus the PS2 controllers are all loose (the "joysticks") and poorly put together. The buttons stick sometimes, too. The PS2 controllers weigh really light and that kinda pisses me off. I don't know why. And I wouldn't think Ziesman to have BattleFront. He doesn't seem like a Star Wars guy.
Ziesman is a crazy motha fucka!

lol, maybe it's a hand size thing. see, my hands are ginormous and wrap around the xbox controllers more comfortably, but with ps2 controllers my hands have to hold it in odd and deformed ways in order to have quick access to all the buttons.

Dude, the PS2 controllers are lighter than hell, and I'm way too afraid to touch them. The Xbox controllers are big and tough. Plus they are for people with longer/bigger hands. And you know what that means......
I have a long one.

Yes... I do know and for the sake of all the morons reading this, I'll just point it out: AoD claims he has a large penis AND wears large gloves.
