[Xbox 360] New Information On Halo 3
Posted by Greg Bruno on 11.15.2006
Happy Halo Day!
Five years ago, a little known game company released a game onto the world. Halo changed the way first person shooters were played. To celebrate the occasion, Bungie has released new information to the public.
First, there will be a Halo 3 commercial to air during Monday night Football on Dec. 4. However, this will be all CG and no gameplay. Also, Bungie announced the release of new multiplayer maps for Halo 2. Yes, I said Halo 2. No release date was give nor was the number of maps, but we can bet it will be at least 2. Bungie stated that you MUST have an Xbox 360 to use these maps and you MUST have a harddrive to download these maps. This may anger some of those who bought the core system, but hey, good reasons to upgrade just keep coming. But wait, there more! Perhaps the biggest bomb dropped today was the announcement of a Halo 3 multiplayer demo that will hit Xbox Live sometime in the Spring. In typical bungie fashion, they could not confirm the dates of any of this information, just that it will all be "in the Spring." This basically confirms that Halo 3 will not be shipping in the first quarter 2007, as some had hoped. Bungie also released a new screenshot featuring Master Chief against a rusty metal wall.
Happy Halo day everyone! I'll catch you on Live! Stay tuned to 411mania's game section and be sure to check back on Friday to see what Bungie's other big announcement will be!
