» Bienvenue à tous sur Arbiter-Major !

Voila, aujourd'hui on à pu voir des photos, tirées d'un magazine en anglais EGM ( sortie le 7 aout ) dont je vous fait ici le résumé.

-Tout d'abord du coté des armes, on nous montre une image du fusil à pompe, mais brute :

-Ensuite une utilisation possible dans le jeu du marteau brute, imaginez vous rendant la monée de sa piéce à Tartarus qui vous a si souvent enervé avec son coup fatal :

-On continu avec les images d'un warthog version transport de troupes^^, de quoi organiser ses petites operation commando, en emenant toute son équipe avec soi.

-Le hornet, vehicule aérien, pilotable vraisemblablement , équivalent du banshee mais humain:

-Les armures élites enfin dévoilées, pour ma part, je ne goute pas trop au nouvelles, mais celle ci-dessous est de toute beautée !

-Un nouveau vehicule brute, équivalent du warthog, qui pourra embarquer quatres personnes. On y remarque le même design que pour le brute chopper:

voila pour les images. A signaler aussi, que la coop d'aprés le magazine ne sera jouable qu'a deux, et qu'un joueur incarnera le Major et l'autre l'arbiter. Presence aussi d'un editeur de cartes nomé "forge" mais qui ne pourra pas creer de nouvelles cartes, seulement editer celles deja presentes.

Toute ces infos sont bien sur à prendre avec des pincettes, car rien n'a été confirmé par bungie. Si vous voulez avoir le descriptif complet en anglais des toutes les nouveautés le voila ^^

Stolen from ALT which was stolen from IGN which was stolen from scans:

Coop:
-2 player, one player is MC, the other is Arbiter
-System Link supported. Online, probably not. Bungie is still working on it but it likely won´t make it at launch. Bungie said they´ll consider a patch to implement it if they can´t do it for launch. With system Link the story is not so bad as we can use XBC to play online, but surely a supported online would be much better

Forge:
-Map editor
-Does not support geometry creation, or texture modification
-Allows you to remove and place any items or vehicles or spawn points or objectives, etc... anywhere on the existing maps
-For things like weapons you can tweak their respawn timer and ammo count and other minor things
-Possibly more things, but I don´t have that info right now
Forge info updated, this is cool!
-You can have multiple people work in the Forge editor over Xbox Live!
-You can also dynamically switch from creation mode to playing mode and run around as your spartan
-If you are "playing" in Forge and have other players in it, they can still change things! For instance, if you have a friend making a pyramid of fusion cores, you can turn into your player and lob a grenade in to destroy all his work!
-Make your own kind of games in forge. Bungie gives the example of grab the mongoose. One player rides a mongoose while everyone else tries to grab it out from under him by removing it in Forge! Another is like a magic carpet ride where one player will stand on a object and a forge monitor will drag it along making the player ride it through the air.
Finally Bungie talked about how you can kind of make it into a realtime strategy game where you set up "teams" where each team has a monitor creating items for his team to use.

Elephant:
-Only works on Sandtrap map right now
-Giant floating base which players will spawn on, have vehicles spawn on, and hold objectives such as flags.
-The Elephant is drivable by players making for moving base games

I´ll look for more highlights

Update:

Hornet:
-UNSC flying vehicle
-Only seen in Campaign so far, but should be in MP as well
-Can carry two people and the pilot
-Can combat Banshees, but weapons specifics are not know right now

Mauler:
-Brute Shotgun
-Dual Wieldable
-Not as powerful as Human shotgun (its dual wieldable, duh)

Prowler (not predator):
-Brute version of Warthog
-Turret gun
-Passengers on side
-4 players on it total (1 driver 3 passengers)

Update x2

Flare Equipment:
-Blinds everyone who sees it... its a flare

Invincibility Equipment:
-Makes you temporarily invincible
-Brutes use in SP a lot
-Will be in MP, but will be rare

Regenerator?:
-Not sure about this so don´t take it as full confirmation
-Equipment which regenerates players health near by (anti-energy drainer?)

Update x3

Personal Shield (retrieved from lucidgrey):
Unlike the 360 degree bubble shield, this is a stationary version of the Jackal´s handheld deflector and it only protects against attacks from one direction. Stand behind the shield and fire through to hit opponents on the other side.

Gravity Hammer:
-Kind of like plasma sword
-Knocks openness and vehicles and grenades (yes grenades in mid air) back

Update x4

Single Player:
-Bungie admits the "risks of Halo 2´s narratives did not work right (Arbiter stories). They claim Halo 3 won´t have those problems and that while it didn´t work for Halo 2, Halo 2 made for a richer story which Halo 3 will benefit from
-You play as MC the entire game. You will only play as arbiter if you are playing coop
-The Meta game scores your skill in each level. You can play the meta game in solo or in coop. You get scored for kills, who you kill, how you perform the kills and doing special things like picking up the magic skulls which will create different effects (like Halo 2). They say the skull effects stack so while you could try to play through picking up all skulls for mad points, it would probably make the game impossible. You also lose points for team killing

Update x5

-Warthog Troop Tansport finally appears! We first heard of the idea for Halo 2, but it never made it into the game. Now in Halo 3 (SP at least) there will be a troop transport hog which carries more marines instead of a turret.
