halo 3 info-including new gameplay pics
Singleplayer story what happends first(taken from 1up.com)

After a few quick steps forward, the Master Chief hops into the back of a Warthog with a Gauss cannon mounted on the back. There's the familiar whirr of Warthog engines humming to life and the hog spins out from underneath the building's overhang. After lurching out from beneath the overhang, the road opens into a staging area. Overhead there are explosions streaking the sky; in front of the Warthog is a Covenant Wraith tank. The familiar purple tank is swaying side to side and the Warthog screams past it. Master Chief rotates the gun backwards to target the Wraith tank and looks to the sky to see a Covenant Drop Ship taking off -- two banshees flying in formation fly by, right behind the Drop Ship. They don't stop to attack -- they just fly by.
The familiar whine of a Covenant Ghost howls and Master Chief lowers the Gauss cannon. But this Ghost is unlike any Ghost we've seen before. Instead of the two small wings that normally frame a Ghost, this model is more tube-like in design. The sound is unmistakable, just like its bumpy hover. There's a much larger driver at the back of this new Ghost-type vehicle -- a Brute. This is the first vehicle we've seen from what Griesemer describes as "the Brute Sandbox."

The vehicle appears similar in color to the Covenant Ghost. It sounds the same as well (but this is pre-Alpha code, so it could be placeholder sound), but the wings have been folded up and the result is a much thicker, tube-ish vehicle. As Master Chief lowers the Gauss cannon on the Ghost, the demo ends.

Visually, the demo is everything that it should be, considering the quality seen in the announcement teaser from E3 2006. While the game is technically in pre-Alpha with presumably a year left in development, the single-player footage looks incredible, so much so that it might make some people say "Gears of Huh?"


what it means


Location. Location. Location. Across both previous games, there have been memorable (Delta Halo from Halo 2) and unmemorable (yes, the Library) structures, but the architecture has been pretty consistent. The art from Halo 2's High Charity level -- a series of curves, circles and luminescent lighting -- is wildly different from the repeating corridors and angular designs that make up Forerunner structures.

The buildings in this snippet of Halo 3's campaign look like the structures from the Metropolis and Outskirts levels of Halo 2 (i.e. human buildings in the middle of a city).

It is a warzone, and assuming this planet is Earth, Master Chief appears to be right in the middle of the mess he was flying toward at Halo 2's conclusion. Is this before or after the announcement trailer? It's hard to tell -- there weren't any shots of the Chief's armor for us to compare the damage with what we saw in the trailer.

Bungie has remained adamant that the single-player footage we saw -- which was framey -- was something just slapped together. It was footage from one of the debugs that had been stored as a Saved Film. After the developers finished showing the footage to the media, it was discarded -- don't expect the same footage to surface any time soon.

The single-player screenshot that Bungie released on the fifth anniversary of Halo was not from the area of the game that we'd seen. That area is much darker and looks like it could be somewhere underground -- what we saw was a fracas taking place on some planet's (likely Earth) surface.

the new spiker guns called the well the spiker for real placement for the needlers but needlers are still in

what we want weopans and

Spiker
a needler like weopan much like it even dual wield but more powerful and less rapid

spiker grenade
when thrown it sticks to everything like walls, the ground, the celing, your sorry a**, a viecle, even a gun or health pack. and when it detonates shotts a massive ammount of needes out if you get hit pray for your life and take cover. the funny thing is it seems you can stand on it and not get hurt, still run from them

spartan laser
a gigantic laser that will blow up a tank in a hit and the best thing is it goes through multipal target a pic shows 15kills at once from online with one shot from it very impressive huh

old weopans

SMG shoots faster and new look

BR slower but longer range get your BxR ready for it

neddler now not dual but more powerful much like halo 1 version

energy sword now it is balanced not much released about it

pistol juggling between halo 1 and 2 pistols

grenades now their are 3 types of grenades but now you can only carry 2 of each but they will be more plentiful

assult rifle from halo 1 man longer range and a smaller clip from 60 to 32 i know but its a beging weopan so just kill your parter to get more ammo thats what i do -to joe and ario-

mongoose
the atv not much to say its fast thats for sure it can beat a warthog making it the fastest ride no gunns 2 person

brute ghost
not much news i will try to get the video its a bulkier version of the original i bet its red though
