Okay guys, here's a few tidbits I managed to cut and paste: "Over the past few days, gaming websites were flooded with Halo information: news about the Halo movie, about Halo 3 pre-orders and about Halo 3 multiplayer details. But there was no news about the single player campaigns. Now, your wait is over as some singleplayer campaign details have been revealed, via the latest issue of EGM. A 20-second singleplayer preview was shown to the magazine, in which Master Chief was demolishing a huge compound. He used gunfire to tear the place down, as computerandvideogames.com reports. That was the only singleplayer information revealed, but there are more multiplayer goodies for you. All the so-called military ranks and voting options have been revealed. Also, according to the magazine, game settings such as speed can be assigned to individual players, with gravity and weapons players available for tweaking. The Needler is no longer dual-wieldable, but Bungie announced that they will develop a new version of the weapon, a stronger and more balanced version. Details about Halo 3, weapons vehicles and control came via subscriber issues of Swedish LEVEL magazine. Some new weapons will be introduced in Halo 3, including a Spartan Laser gun, along with some Spike grenades and spikers. The Spartan Laser gun will be unique as it will have the ability to disable any vehicle with one shot. The grenades will stick to walls, and will shoot out nails when they explode. Players will be able to see the spiker, some sort of a melee weapon, when it's strapped to the characters' back. Gamers will have some new means of transportation in Halo 3, as the Mongoose will be introduced. This vehicle is a type of quad bike that can carry two people; the only downside is that it will not be armed in any way. Some levels of Halo 3 were also introduced, but these are similar to levels in Halo 2. Valhala, High Ground and Snowbound, the new levels, seem to look like Blood Gulch, Zanzibat and Frost Bite. The multiplayer mode was also addressed, and it will have a new feature called Man Cannon. Also, the functions of the X button have been enhanced, receiving some multiplayer functionality. What exactly will it do was not revealed yet. Unfortunately, PC and PlayStation gamers will not enjoy this new release from Bungie, as the game will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. An official release date for the game was not yet revealed, but some online gaming shops have already started to accept pre-orders."

i just thought id add season one of red vs blue comes with the "legendary" pack of halo 3 on release, whatever that is, the only special edition so far thats acutally been "special" was the pc half lfie 2 one, now that was worth the extra notes. "tearing the place down with bullets" hmmm, maybe they mean like black but on a next gen level of destruction?

Apparently the Legendary pack is gonna be a 3 disc set costing 80 notes and limited numbers will come with a Spartan helmet. That's if current rumours are to be believed.

Here's something from Halo 3 UK. It was recently revealed that Microsoft and Bungie have plans to release three different versions of Halo 3 when it launches sometime next year, according to our sources the game will come in a basic version, a collectors edition, and the interesting one - Halo 3 Legendary Edition. This Legendary Edition is apparently due to come with these tasty extra’s: Spartan Helmet Halo 3 Game Bonus Disc’s including: Behind the scenes at Bungie. The making of Halo 3. Hi-Red cinematics from previous Halo game’s with commentary. Red vs. Blue, This Spartan Life and more community content. Exclusive GamerPics and Themes. Also each Legendary Edition sold will have it’s own unique serial code, making it a true one of a kind. Final pricing and availability details for the UK have not yet been set. Damn.
