Very cool things that I found in this mag
1. The elephant is by far the coolest idea, your base moves around the map and your flag base is inside the elephant and your people respawn in it.
2. The idea of using forge as an RTS by picking stuff up and dropping them on people
3. The graphics are :awesome:

There is an error, page 65 section "The Flood"


"who was last seen making unfriendly overtures toward cortana in the depths of the starship In Amber Clad". No, it was in High Charity. And it kinda just hit me that cortana claims to be our shield and our sword when her name is very close to Katana :-3

And Curtana is a sword, too. Just like Durandal. Damn sword AIs.

Cortana (or more precisely, "Curtana", the latinization of "Curtaine") is a sword from early French and Danish mythology. It's name is derived from the latin word "curta" (which means "short," thus the English words "curt" and "curtailed"). It is the sister sword of Durendal (sometimes referred to as Durandal), the sword of Roland, and the sword of Charlemagne, Joyeuse.
Each has its own mythology and history, with plenty of information on Wikipedia.

Edit: Damn, Terin beat me to it. >_<

Thanks for this!

Although there was a spoiler straight away in the first page (about what the Ark), so I didn't read any of the Campaign pages after that - although I did look at the pics, which were totally awesome!
Read the multiplayer though, and it's sounding awesome.

Even through the grainy pictures, you can still tell the graphics are absolutely amazing, and even through looking at pictures, you can tell the gameplay is a complete blast.

The only thing better than scans is the actual magazine, you freeloaders! :mad:

I still haven't read the whole Halo 3 article yet. When I got it I went straight for the Metroid preview. :D

Free loaders?
I'm in the UK, so I can't get the actual magazine.

Elephant, :O

dammit, so much for not spoiling big surprises for myself. Imagine how that would have been the first time in game, not expecting to see that...

but I just can't help myself. So far I've managed to avoid it, but I just know that somewhere in the next 53 days I'm going to spoil the campaign for myself. And I tried the living under a rock thing, but we all see how well that worked- I'm back after only like 3 days. I just can't help myself D'X

I would so love to navigate an elephant to the side of the other teams so my teammates can jump out of ours and into theirs and start raiding their base.
