In this week's Bungie Weekly Update, Frank O'Connor describes some of the experiences he's had playtesting the upcoming Xbox 360 first-person shooter Halo 3. In the update, he talks about how the gameplay and AI of the single-player portion of Halo 3 is what testers are currently focusing on. O'Connor talks about how the improved processing power of the Xbox 360 is helping to enhance the artificial intelligence of NPC characters. He then describes a firefight in which he is flanked by a pincer movement initiated by a group of Covenant Grunts.
O'Connor also talks about a new "bigger" bad guy who goes unnamed, and about a new multiplayer game type that he describes as "super fun, yet utterly terrifying at the same time." Another part of the new game that he mentions is the "rebuilding" of classic Halo weapons, and a new "project" for matchmaking play lists. You can see his entire post, along with some genuinely entertaining emails received from gamers banned by Bungie for cheating online, at bungie.net.

Halo III Stuff:
Some are already done, some are Possibilities:
The orginal HALO Pistol Returns.
Play as a Brute when game is completed.
Possible upgrade to Mark VII Armor?
Co-Op Play On-Line.
Can pilot a Pellcan.
Save clips of Multiplayer moments.
Motorcycle and Sidecar.
Other spartans drop in and help.
Dual wielding laser-swords.
Blood Gulch - Again.
Integrate headset into Multiplayer game.
As long as the pistol isn't too powerfull like it was in the original, then I guess I'm ok with it. Blood Gulch... enough said there, now dual wielding swords, I can't even imagine what they mean by that, but surely they can't mean the sword the second one has.

I loved that Pistol! spawning back and popping a couple of caps into another guys head with it was awesome! It also saved me spraying ammo when i didnt have a sniper rifle- scorpions are tough but not with a pistol! ![]()
I want the original assault rifle as well- much better that the battle rifle (couldnt use it properly lol) and flying a pelican sounds cool!
On the otherhand, Blood gulch again= meh!
If the put all the levels in from the previous versions, i may consider it being worthwhile but i hate that level! and dual wirlding swords sounds lame!

That's why I'm assuming it'll be a different sword. The level they should really include is Lockout, which is the only legit map, other than the plasma pistol...

Nope, the Elite swords, DUAL WIELD, there are no other swords, just those ones. I have a pic with Master Chief dual wielding two of them, from Xbox Mag. As far as the return of the original pistol, is supposed to be EXACTLY as the original was in Halo, people liked it, a LOT.
The sword's called Energy Sword, so I thought you may have been talking about a new one, plus wielding the two sword isn't even practical...

Yeah, my kids even said "That's stupid."
Dual weilding swords? Whats the point when one slash kills you anyway?
The only thing that'll acheive is it will not let throw grenades. Booooo.
Woo hoo. Original pistol. That'll be ace. I loved it. The pistol in Halo 2 used to be good, but they updated the game, and killed the power of the pistol.
But Matt, your wrong. The battle rifle is WAY better than the assault rifle from 1. I used to prefer the assault rifle, then i learned how to use the battle rifle. It is a killer.

The reason the BR is better is because of the damage it inflicts, but you can't just srpay it, that's why it takes more skill. The pistol is way too powerfull, so if they bring it back, I hope they won't keep the power behind it. As far as throwing two granades, sometimes when I'm playing the game with my friend, he accidently chucks two nades instead of one, and neither of us know how that happens, or why.
Keeping the topic, I think that adding a motorcycle to the game is a good idea, but I'm not too sure about the sidecar...
