Scans of the upcoming Swedish Xbox magazine Level show the newest Halo 3 details, screenshots/artwork, and a new Collector’s Edition version, called Halo 3 Legendary Edition. The magazine reveals new weapons; Spiker, Spartan Laser (Anti-vehicle), Nail Grenade (explodes with nails as fragments). A new vehicle was revealed as well, the Moongoose, an ATV that was originally meant to be in Halo 2.
New multiplayer features:
- Man Cannon: Launches you into the air. You can still be fired at and you can fire back. It sounds like the jump pads from Unreal and Quake Arena. Though the cannon part could mean that you are a weapon if you collide with someone physically.
- No bots: No bots, just humans.
- Controls: The X-button will have a special use which game developer Bungie will not reveal. A guess is it’s for stealing the opponent’s weapon in close range. Bumpers are now used to reload both weapons independently.
Halo 3 Legendary Edition will include 4 DVDs, and come in a Master Chief helmet replica:
- Disc 1: Game disc.
- Disc 2: Documentaries and developer comments
- Disc 3: Includes the spin-off material that has been created (Red vs. Blue, Spark of Life etc).
- Disc 4: The fourth disc will contain all of the cut scenes from Halo 1 to 3 in HD.
In addition, there will also be a clip or trailer of the Halo movie on one of the discs.
