Enjoy. :)


Also, map editor, did I say I wanted to tell everyone about this for so long? Oh gosh I can't wait! :awesome:

[Archon23]

WHOO DUAL SHOTUNS! It looks like the brutes took a sawed-off and a revolver and combined em.

The Hornet looks like the Combine air thingy (Forgot what its called) from HL2.

[Elite Killa]

Sweet Mother of God where did you find this????!!!!!

[leorimolo]

OMFG, I ejaculated

[mech]

That's alot off stuff :|

You sir did what? If you cum looking at magazine scans, I don't want to know what happens when you see a girl.

[Atty]

Yes, it does say the successor of Lockout. :)

[Archon23]

Oooh a flashbang.......that looks exactly like the shield drainer..........and the radar jammer........Oh cmon bungie can't you do something other than recolor old stuff?

[Stormwing]

holy shit flare, god mode, ELITE RANGER ARMOR?!!

and hahaha! EXCAVATOR/MAULER! CALLED IT! WOO AWESOME THAT LOOKS KICKASS

and hornet? cool..but...I want my sparrowhawk thanks. this pales in comparison tbh.

[Archon23]

The Mauler looks sexy properly textured just like I predicted.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people who said it looked like shit think otherwise.

Agreed on both points. I love the thing. Drum-loading shotgun?

and dual-wieldable too. Marathon much!


and what the hell is that orange ball in the inset pic on the third scan?

[thehoodedsmack]

DO NOT WANT!!!

[Archon23]

DO NOT WANT!!!

Which Part?

[Stormwing]

probably Forge.

meh, i don't see why not. time will tell.

[thehoodedsmack]

Which Part?

Pretty much everything shown here, save for the Elephant (Though I'd rather it wasn't equipped with weapons), and armour permutations. The Hornet really doesn't seem like something we need. One of the challenging aspects of fighting Covenant is that they can fly and Humans can't. Now we have the anti-Banshee. And those pickup items are really turning Halo into some sort of UT deathmatch. The game's just looking too hectic now. It honestly seems as though you could go through the game without using 10% of the weapons/items/grenades, etc. And my god, the Gravity Hammer. It's like every semi-boss-battle character gets their weapon shoved into the next game title. I might be crazy, but it almost sounds like Bungie hired the halomaps forums to decide what goes in. Oh, and everyone who thought the "excavator" (now referred to as "Mauler") that Veegie was talking about was fake: Owned. That about sums it up.


probably Forge.

Ah yes. Glory day. Here we have the most ill-considered Halo gameplay factor since the microphone. I'll pick myself up a copy of the game one day, boot up XBL, and we'll see how many 12 year olds are hosting servers with 8 tanks, all the rockets/snipers/gravity hammers(...ugh...) etc at one side of the map. Fun times indeed.

[Archon23]

You know you have a point. Though I don't see how this is turning into another UT.

Bungie has too much equipment. If anything I would remove almost all of them save for the shield dome and the land mine. Everything else is just garble thats thrown in there. The Hornet in my opinion looks too should I say organic to fit with the UNSC.

Also the radar jammer...........what......the.....hell. Its a big orange blob now. Who is Bungie hiring to design these things?

I mean is it supposed to be gooped into your opponent's helmet to jam the radar mechanism?

[Atty]

Updated first post with [shot] and what-not.

[Stormwing]

Yeah, I completely agree about the gimmick overkill. Equipment was cool at first, an absolute novelty, but now it's getting ridiculous. What made Halo/2 so appealing was that it was easy to pick up and play...with all this equipment things might get a bit too confusing for the new player.

Why the hell is there a massive 'flare' equipment anyway, tbh. What the fuck happened to flashbangs?

The hammer i'm not so concerned about though. So what if Tartarus used a similar weapon before? You could say the same about the energy sword, since we couldn't use it in H1.

Hornet: well, you ARE fighting to defend Earth. It'd be kinda stupid not to be able to see/use the entire UNSC inventory, no?

Forge: So it's basically a built-in Sapien? I don't think it's as bad as you're making it sound though, smack. eh, too early to tell....where's p. 74?

[thehoodedsmack]

The hammer i'm not so concerned about though. So what if Tartarus used a similar weapon before? You could say the same about the energy sword, since we couldn't use it in H1.

I'm really not complaining about the fact that Tartarus used it, it's just that it looks to be another Energy Sword: An overly whored weapon that will undoubtable cause some players less enjoyment.


Hornet: well, you ARE fighting to defend Earth. It'd be kinda stupid not to be able to see/use the entire UNSC inventory, no?

I've never used a longsword in campaign. Frankly, there are some UNSC things I'd rather NOT use. This... "Hornet" included.


Forge: So it's basically a built-in Sapien? I don't think it's as bad as you're making it sound though, smack. eh, too early to tell....where's p. 74?

No, no, no. Sapien is useful. Sapien does scenery, AI, weapon and vehicle placement, triggers, cutscenes, devices, the works. Forge is just a toned down Sparkedit.

Myes. ~(-_-)~

[Stormwing]

meh, I wouldn't mind carpet bombing some covies in a longsword.....despite the bad memories of hugeass and coldsnap.

dunno. either way, the hornet's interesting, but not that cool.I don't like the troop carrying ability.
Still, if it was a two-seater Sparrowhawk...well.. :awesome:

I don't think I've seen a PC mod as unfair as your example though.

I don't think I've seen a PC mod as unfair as your example though.

You're not visiting enough Halomods! :eng101:

Seriously, I've never seen a PC mod where everything is on one side of the map. Link?

2+ hours ago. "Electronic Gaming Monthly" is also printed on the bottom of every page, next to the page number. Reading perhaps?

this isn't directed only at you by the way. sorry. :\



any ideas about the Prowler? It's on the column next to the one about the Elephant.

Watch outy, zeph doesnt like scan mags :P

i knew about the new guns from a UK mag that came out last friday but didnt know about the editor, nice work.

Why would Zeph have something against scans?

NVM I just thought of the answer...since the magazine is not out yet offically to the public I guess. I can respect that. ;)

[ExAm]

Quick! Fix the pics! I haven't seen this yet!!

[Atty]

Just thought you guys might want to know where this info is coming from, apparently an unfinished printing was leaked... Hey guys,
Yeah, the current issue is Soul Calibur IV (officially, it's "Soulcalibur"...one word, which is ugly as balls).
But unfortunately, there's been a leak from the printer. Someone took some of the printing pages and took photos and sent them out, way before our issue has even finished printing. This issue isn't scheduled to hit readers for a couple of weeks yet.
I really appreciate those of you who are still waiting to get the issue, or who will buy the issue regardless of what was spoiled. Because really, this leak sucks for us...bad. It hurts the trust companies have with us when we get exclusives, it hurts our newsstand sales (which is a HUGE part of our revenue), and it just damages the print side of our business all around. It's tough being a print publication in today's Internet world, and these leaks and scans only makes things worse. We need circulation, we need exclusives...and it just sucks when someone at the printer is willing to damage our business and thus, our livelihoods just because he got overly excited. (I'm not being overdramatic here...as some of you know, we've had layoffs in the past because we needed to save money. We're a business like anything else.)
Anyway, I can't stop the news from spreading...but again, I appreciate what support some of you are willing to give to us!

[ExAm]

And the pics? Can you at least post a link to the source of them, other than the photobucket account? They're all broken.

Photobucket account was the source, it's gone now.

Dual wielding Revolver shotguns? :o I had that idea several months ago. Ask lights or WOL. I showed them some little sketches of the idea to them. I had several nice ideas like that and that was one of them.

WHOO DUAL SHOTUNS! It looks like the brutes took a sawed-off and a revolver and combined em.

The Hornet looks like the Combine air thingy (Forgot what its called) from HL2.

Sorry no duel shotguns :( bungie already rejected that for being nooby and to much OWNAGE! :XD:

[Stormwing]

uh. he means the mauler. While the pictures were still up, it very clearly stated that the brute shotguns could be dual weildable.

at least they're not as powerful individually.

[Neuro Guro]

I had another cool idea that could have worked out for a good starting weapon, like a hand held shade turret gun called the shade rifle, and it would work sort of how the "Link gun" in unreal tournament. Primary fire would be blasts of purple plasma, that slowly depletes the battery. Secondary would be a beam blast of plasma, sort of like a higher power sentinel beam that is purple, but depletes the battery faster. I had some cool designs for it too, like a grip similar to the covie carbine, the gun would be larger then the carbine though, have big long triple projector beams on the front of it and a nice blue screen display.

[Ki11a_FTW]

yeah the shade rifle looks like the gun on the portable covvie turret in halo 2

[TeeKup]

I swear I've played an HPC mod with something like that. Someone cut the gun off of the Shade turret using Milkshape, gave it the standard Shade projectiles, and then slapped it on a Plasma Rifle (animations, overheating, etc.).

[Warsaw]

I swear I drew a weapon like that in sixth grade...

And that is more akin to the original Unreal Tournament "Pulse Gun" than the Link Gun :p.

[DaneO'Roo]

notice the new covie plasma gun, being held like the chaingun :awesome:


I seen these a while ago though, linked to em by a friend :P

i was wondering what that thing is. i never thought about the covie turrets.

i think it'd be cool to take the turrets off the hogs, and have that transport hog thing under it.

too bad they already made the transport hog thingy .(

holding a gauss turret would be fucking sweet.

BTW- anybody that has played the beta, can u put the turrets back in thier original places and get more ammo?

Don't forget that the Halo 3 M90 also has a [non-functioning] laser pointer on it which may also create the illusion of multiple barrels from a certain angle.

[ExAm]

That's a flashlight. The one which used to be mounted to the slide rail. I wonder why they moved it. The place where the rail is seems to have an open spot on the front of it. It looks a bit like another barrel, though I don't see why it would be.

i think its a laser pointer. the flashlights aren't gun mounted, theyre on the armor.

i think the ar has a gun mounted flashlight, but it looks like is just there for show just like the laser on he shotty.

[ExAm]

Marines use the flashlights on the guns, though. The shotgun, the AR, etc.

i guess youre right. there's only one place in halo 2 when they use them (going through hotal zanzibar), but idk if they turn them on.

well, it really doesnt matter what it is, b/c we cant use it .)

[Warsaw]

Except that in Halo 1 where the active light (while appearing to be on your helmet) was actually on the M90 and MA5B, because it would point up when you reloaded your weapon.

[ExAm]

And in third person the light came from your helmet :P

[DaneO'Roo]

Who thinks MC should get a heat/motion sensor vision in his visor later in the game, just before he fights some lolhard boss that uses camo, and is underwater so it's like lolhard to see dem moving and stuffs so it's like lol tripped out amirite k lol fuck u mb huh roflar

And if Halo 3 has bosses, it is immediately dropped to Halo 2's respect level, which isn't too high.

[Stealth]

Why would Bungie put a portable shield door even though the bubble shield is a lot more useful?
Why would they put doors in door ways when they can just put up beeds?:confused2:
for all we could know is that it spawns a shield that makes it hard for people go in out of a room and acts like a shield. the bubble shield stops bullets and plasma from hitting you when you're in it, not pissed off brutes.

[teh lag]

Why would they put doors in door ways when they can just put up beads?:confused2:

I have no idea what the crap you were trying to say there.

Door = Shield door = you can't walk thrugh a door if it is closed.
Beeds = bubble shield = beeds will not stop you from walking into the room, it just makes life a pain.

Shield doors were permeable in the beta to everything the Bubble Shield was.

[Stealth]

Ok, I did not know that, but now I do, but to me it kind of looked like the shields from Halo 1 & 2 that you find just about any where you found covies. I think it'd be cool to have one of those you can deploy.

portable shields will be cool, b/c u can just throw one in a choke point, and sit there waiting for 3 guys to get stuck in/between/behind it, then throw a few nades and its over.
