Hindsight: Halo 3’s Tsavo Highway has (finally) gone up. This level has a little bit of everything - epic vehicle battles, large-scale pedestrian encounters, and perhaps a surprise or two. Did you know that the Brutes use Morse code and regularly listen to the Halo 1 Original Soundtrack? It’s true. Hit the jump for the write-up.
A brief and opinionated look at the evolution of Halo’s time-honored multiplayer - its twists, its turns and its future…
As stated earlier, we are conducting a series on the finer points of the Terminals found within Halo 3.
This effort, our second trip into the archive, is intent on bringing the powerful story of Didact and Librarian to the forefront. These two Forerunner beings are not only at the heart of the conflict which was dealt to the Forerunners 100,000 years ago, but they are also very significant in the key events which players took part of during the Halo trilogy.
If you haven’t already, we would recommend that you read A Voice from the Tomb, the first article on the Terminals which gives our audience a wider understanding of the story’s scope. Unlike its predecessor, this second article, She Died in Eden, focuses specifically on an intimate story of two lovers and the far-reaching effect their relationship had on everything within the Halo universe.
Feel free to leave comments about the article on this page and don’t forget to check out all of our articles on the Terminals. Take an opportunity to read that page and the disclaimer we offer about the information we provide. We also would like to invite you to the Ascendant Justice Forums if you’re interested in taking the discussion to another level - a Halo community driven by commitment, dedication and civility.
The third and final map in the Legendary Map Pack has been announced; it is Blackout, a remake of Lockout from Halo 2. And, according to Bungie, “Blackout is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.” Rejoice. And then click the link below.
Bungie has revealed the next map in the Legendary Map Pack: Avalanche. In addition to pictures and information regarding this map, the final release date and pricing for the Legendary Map Pack has been announced: April 15th, for 800 MS Points. Hit the jump for a few choice excerpts from the article.
Earlier today, a Bungie representative on GAF stated that the press release containing information on the next map in the Legendary Map Pack has been switched to a Wednesday release as opposed to the Tuesday release announced in the latest Bungie Weekly Update. Details on the reason for the change weren’t given, but it appears to have been a decision made by Microsoft, rather than Bungie.
Word from a Bungie employee, via GAF, is that we won’t be getting a full map reveal this week, as last Friday’s Weekly Update had hinted. “Just parts from/of one. After this week and early next week,” the Bungie staffer said, is apparently when a full reveal, or least a decent amount of information, is getting released. At least we’ll get a teaser shot or something of that sort this Thursday or Friday.
Only a few more days!
Crow’s Nest has been put up as the next installment in our Halo 3 review series. Check it out!
Also, a minor edit was made to the end of the Sierra 117 article; I had somehow attributed some lines of dialogue to Sierra 117 that actually belong in Crow’s Nest.
