Gameplay revisions

Consider revisign the Gameplay section, most of it seems extremely useless to the article, much of the information if very obvious and present in almost any game.


I Agree, the grammar and puncuation is poor. There are uneccessary commas all over the place.

It also it states that the game follows The Master Chief, with no mention of the Arbiter.

It also contains opinion - when mentioning the Multiplayer element of the game "... and is the primary reason for the series' enormous success." The games Halo:CE and Halo 2 were hugely successful despite the multiplayer element.

English is also poor eg when describing it as a first person shooter it states that the game "Largely builds off of previous renditions of the franchise..." Surely this should read "Largely builds on.." or "Largely builds upon..."

That is just a few examples.

Just Wondering

You do realize that Truth isn't the last Prophet, right?

yeah but hes the one in power right now, so we don't really care about the rest of his race.157.174.221.167 20:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Campain Choice

There is a rumor going around Halo 3 forums that you can choose who you can play as, Meaning you either play as the Arbiter or the Master Chief, your choice. Link to rumor

At this stage there is no confirmation. When Bungie says whether the Arbiter is playable or not we can add it, until then there's no need to mention it. I personally think he will be available as a coop character, but that's just my opinion and it shouldn't be added to the article (my opinion that is).

Huh. Looks like the latest issue of EGM says that the Arbiter is playable in Halo 3's campaign. Whaddya know. Peptuck 16:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since I am at work and cant get onto the EGM page can you tell me what date they are putting it on the shelves?Xenocide321 19:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think its for sure but since the arbiter is playing along side the Master Cheif vertially the entire game there would be no purpose in having 2 different campain's and the fact that the arbiter is a co-op player might enhance this thought. Im not posative just a guess.

Campain Choice has been confirmed Bungie news

Extra grenade?

In the E3 2007 trailer; at 0:50 (50 seconds) there is a 1st person view of MC killing a brute with a battle rifle and if you look at his grenades he has 4 types. It's not equipment (like a shield drainer or bubble shield) because that is displayed under the grenades. Is it known what it is or hasn't Bungie said anything?

Currenty it's unknown... Hackers found an Agility powerup or piece of equipment, in the beta code, and its speculated that this is it. The Walkin Dude 15:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks, and at the moment that screenshot needs to be put in an article or it will be deleted (see WP:FU), sorry to be such a copyright-nut. Talk | Email 01:58, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


In the next months EGM mag there is a ton of new tHalo 3 info,the 4th grenade is the Flare, a smoke grenade of sorts. There are more new weapons shown too! Gravity Hammer - a shockwave-generating device that's used for close-range attacks and vehicle disruptions. The Mauler - a dual-wield shotgun.valo_sweet_666

The Flare is a new piece of equipment, similar to the Portable Grav Lift, Power Drainer, and Bubble Shield available in the multiplayer beta. Even in EGM, the fourth grenade remains more of a rumor than anything. "We saw hints of a fourth grenade type, though it never actually appeared in action. Bungie won't give any details on this possible addition--or whether it will even be included in the final game." Brent Butler contribstalk 16:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

EGM Leak

Should that be included? It was leaked on the GameFAQS board and there were quite a few pictures...Argias 01:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this leak? The Walkin Dude 01:33, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the Halo 3 board on GameFAQS. Just ask them for the stuff and they'll post it. I can't, as I was recently banned.

ONLINE CO-OP

Following reports earlier in the month that online co-operative gameplay was on the verge of not making it in Halo 3, Bungie has today confirmed that the four player Online Co-Op is now confirmed! Valo sweet 666 04:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They've announced that Player One will play as Master Chief. Player Two will be the Arbiter. Players Three and Four will be elite soldiers. All three will have identical abilities, aside from the starting weapon which will be carbines for the elites instead of the battle rifle which Master Chief will use. Here are some details about those characters directly from Bungie.net:

PLAYER 3 (Sangheili)

Name: N’tho ‘Sraom Affiliation: Fleet of Retribution/Special Warfare Group/Special Operations History: N’tho ‘Sraom is the youngest member of his Special Operations unit and is one of a growing number of human sympathizers amongst the Sangheili youth. He is a fairly typical young male adult Sangheili—he began compulsory military service at the end of adolescence, and remains unmarried with no close, non-familial relationships outside of his martial order. N’tho Sraom refused to stand idly by while the Prophets replaced Sangheili units with Jiralhanae packs, and now bears deep resentment toward those Sangheili politicians who landed his kind in their current predicament.

Although N’tho ‘Sraom’s romanticized nationalism is emblematic of all Sangheili, he has developed a healthy respect for humanity—not for their physical abilities or martial prowess, but for their audacity and resolve.

PLAYER 4 (Sangheili)

Name: Usze ‘Taham Affiliation: Fleet of Retribution/Special Warfare Group/Fleet Security History: Although Usze ‘Taham was born into a respected merchant family he was fathered by Toha ‘Sumai—one of the preeminent swordfighters of this age. Usze graduated with honors from the top War College in the Iruiru region of Yermo, Sanghelios (a distinction he shares with Rtas 'Vadum). Shortly after receiving his first post within the Covenant Navy he was offered a place on the Prophets’ Honor Guard but he declined citing “lack of practical experience”. In truth, he had no desire to be part of a largely ceremonial unit, and at the end of his third combat tour, Usze ‘Taham again refused the post—even though his superiors warned him such behavior could be misinterpreted as apostasy.

Since that time Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and served with distinction for two additional tours before the Schism. Following the dissolution of the Covenant, he was approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons within the Navy. Hammet1982 21:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If a source is needed, this was stated in the August 1st Bungie podcast. 64.230.63.54 07:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done, added to the article with a citation to the announcement about it on b.net RC Master 13:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}} Gameplay section, third paragraph, first sentence, "were it is most useful" should read "where it is most useful"

done. Od Mishehu 07:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More magazine tidbits (Edge 179)

Over today, I'll be adding a few new tidbits about Halo 3 to the article from the latest Edge magazine in the UK. I'll also be adding full cites to bits I add as well, just to make it proper. Please don't worry about this being a leak, or false information. I have the magazine right in front of me, and assuming EDGE themselves didn't get it wrong, it is all correct.

One tidbit that i've just added; there are 53,595 pieces of audio in Halo 3, of which 39,368 are of NPC dialogue. RC Master 14:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
