Halo 3 Uncovered: The Sex, The Lies, The Greatness

halo3-2-lg.jpg

Last week the Halo 3 Beta came out and since then 7th columnist has been going crazy searching through the code for more details about the game. Some of them are really great and answer basically everything we wanted for the game and others are just informative. Hit the link to see it all

Let’s start out with some the gametypes:

Team Slayer
Team Swords
Team Rockets
Team Shotguns
Team Fiesta
Team Phantoms
Slayer Duel
Sword Duel
Rifle Duel
Rumble Slayer
Rumble Swords
Rumble Rockets
Rumble Shotguns
Oddball
Fiesta Ball
Team Ball King
Phantom King
Crazy King
Team Crazy King
Multi Flag CTF
CTF Wraiths
CTF Classic
Shotgun CTF
1 Flag CTF
1 Flag CTF Fast
Multi Bomb Assault
Rapid Assault
Neutral Bomb
Neut. Bomb Fast
3 Plots Land Grab

There is also a pretty well known glitch that occurs in the menu settings when you can’t connect to someone because of an error in their NAT settings and it displays all the custom game settings. Here are the settings that can be seen in the menus when this error occurs:

-Damage resistance
-Shield multiplier
-Shield recharge rate
-Immune to headshots
-Grenade counts
-Infinite ammo
-Weapon pickup disabled
-Player speed (25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 125%, 150%, 200%, 300%)
-Player gravity (50%, 100%, 200%)
-Vehicle use (passenger only)
-Motion tracker range (10m, 25m, 75m, 100m, 150m)
-Appearance
– Vis effects (black glow, team glow, white glow)
- -Active camo (good camo that might fool an elite, poor camo that might fool a grunt, invisible)
-Indestructible vehicles (on, off)

Clearly some of the really cool settings are the speed and gravity changes. Since, they cannot actually be used in the game yet, we have yet to see how they can alter gameplay, but we hope they will be really fun.

Now lets move on to the campaign. 7th Columnist has uncovered the achievements of the game and then consequently the levels for completeing them. Here is a list of the achievements first:

achievement_complete_mission_jungle
achievement_complete_mission_base
achievement_complete_mission_outskirts
achievement_complete_mission_voi
achievement_complete_mission_floodvoi
achievement_complete_mission_wasteland
achievement_complete_mission_citadel
achievement_complete_mission_highcharity
achievement_complete_mission_halo
achievement_complete_campaign_easy
achievement_complete_campaign_normal
achievement_complete_campaign_heroic
achievement_complete_campaign_legendary
achievement_find_jungle_skull
achievement_find_base_skull
achievement_find_outskirts_skull
achievement_find_voi_skull
achievement_find_floodvoi_skull
achievement_find_waste_skull
achievement_find_citadel_skull
achievement_find_highcharity_skull
achievement_find_halo_skull
achievement_jungle_training
achievement_jungle_no_casualties
achievement_floodvoi_no_flood_victims
achievement_spartan_recruit
achievement_spartan_graduate
achievement_spartan_officer
achievement_extra_crispy
achievement_banshee_surface_to_air_kill
achievement_triple_kill
achievement_killtacular
achievement_sticky_x5
achievement_brokeback
achievement_tripmine_vehicle_kill
achievement_flag_carrier_kill
achievement_kill_frenzy
achievement_triple_sword_kill
achievement_mongoose_splatter
achievement_melee_kill_x5
achievement_needler_kill_x5
achievement_sniper_kill_frenzy
achievement_headshot_kill_frenzy
achievement_full_warthog_kill
achievement_temporary_placeholder

The first achievements on the list seem to indicate, the campaign levels in the game, but hoepfully not all of them because they’re only 8 levels and this doesn’t leave much confidence in the campaign, but here are the levels.

jungle
base
outskirts
voi
floodvoi
wasteland
citadel
highcharity
halo

Now that you know the levels, it would be great to know about Co-op and a major thing about this co-op is the 4 Player Cooperative Play over Xbox Live!!! A feature that everybody wanted is answered and now you will be able to play the campaign with 3 other people over Xbox Live or System Link, but only 2 people on a single console.

And here is a list of the weapons:

Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Beam Rifle

Brute Shot
Carbine

Excavator
Gravity Hammer
Flamethrower
Magnum
Missile Launcher
Needler
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Rifle

Fuel Rod Cannon
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
SMG
Sniper Rifle
Spartan Laser
Spiker
Sword

This list of weapons shows the return of the flamethrower and also the fuel rod cannon. And we also see two new weapons the gravity hammer and the excavator! Well I have no idea what the excavator does, but I imagine the gravity hammer to be like the gravity gun in Half-Life 2 or something like that. These guns will surely be amazing in multiplayer as will the new armor custimizations that will be available. The final thing that 7th columnist uncovered was the new types of armor for the Spartan are Cobra, Intruder, Ninja and Regulator.
This news really isn’t that important for multiplayer, but can maybe even hint at some new things in the storyline. We will just have to wait and see and also wait because there may be many more things hidden in the code of the Halo 3 Multiplayer beta.

    I simply desired to thank you so significantly yet again. I’m not certain what I would’ve handled without the type of advice shared by you directly on this dilemma. This was an absolute difficult situation in my view, nevertheless being able to see this expert strategy you solved that forced me to cry with happiness. I will be happy for this support and thus believe you know what a powerful job you were carrying out educating the others all by way of your site. I’m certain you’ve never met all of us.
