In Halo 3, gameplay will adhere to what Multiplayer Designer Lars Bakken describes as the "Golden Three Things of Halo", which are weapons, grenades, and melee attacks; all three of which are simultaneously available to a player at all times while on foot (unless they are dual wielding).

Ideologically, the weapons center around the idea of "balance" (at least in multiplayer). That is, each specific weapon or piece of equipment has specific areas were it is most useful, and others where it falls far short. No matter what combination of weapons a player chooses (players are famously limited only two choices of weapons in Halo), there will be situations in which they have an advantage, and others in which they have a disadvantage. The result is that there is no one weapon/vehicle that is overwhelmingly the best overall choice for whatever type of situation they may encounter (unlike the M6D pistol in the original Halo).

Halo 3 features a "campaign meta-game" in which a player is awarded a score for completing a level in the single-player campaign. No other information is available save for a reference to the Achievements associated with them. It implies, as with the previous Halo games, that campaign levels can be replayed freely, and that single-player Xbox Live Leaderboards will be associated with the "meta-game". It has also been said that not only can players attain awards such as medals in campaign, but even more armor permutations.

“ The latest batch of images also lift the veil on a pair of Armor Permutations in Halo 3. These multiplayer-only, cosmetic changes to your armor are a way to add diversity, spice and flavor to Halo 3's multiplayer shenanigans. The C.Q.B. (Close Quarters Battle) and E.V.A. (Extra Vehicular Activity) variants of Spartans are two of the numerous permutations players will be able to unlock in Halo 3."
quote:

UNSC Service Tags (consisting of one letter followed by two numbers) will be used instead of small HUD emblems to identify allies in games. In addition to the customization of Service Tags, players can now choose three different colors (as opposed to two in Halo 2) for their armor in multiplayer (primary, secondary and detail), as well as three for their multiplayer emblem.

In the July 2007 issue of Gamepro, (as well as a few other local an international magazines) it was revealed that Spartan armor in multiplayer will be customizable in look as well as color. In addition to the standard Mjolnir-armor look, players can choose to swap out helmet, arm and body sections to the new CQB (Close Quarters Battle) and EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) armor types, as well as other, unannounced variants. Bungie has not confirmed whether or not the player can be an Elite, but Frankie says in the 06/08/07 Bungie Weekly Update, "Well, it would be kind of weird for us to add so much customization for appearance and forget about one of the major MP characters, wouldn’t it? We’ll have more news about the existence or otherwise of an Elite model fairly soon."

Bungie also stated that they have redesigned the UI (user interface) from Halo 2, making it easier to generate a custom game in Halo 3 multiplayer.

Hosts will now be able to "advertise" their custom games via Xbox Live Public; making it easier to find a multiplayer match to a player's taste without having to link up with friends.

In late 2006, due to a "significant chunk" of Halo 2 players being female, Bungie was considering to have a female voice for the Spartan character in multiplayer as an additional option.

A new feature dubbed the "A-hole button" can be used to mute annoying players in the game quickly and easily from the in-game scoreboard view.

People sifting through the code, as well as those who glitched their way into the Custom Game UI, of the Halo 3 Beta have found that the strength of gravity is indeed a customizable option in multiplayer games, confirming statements made by Bungie employees.
quote:
Halo 3 introduces a new-to-the-series class called "support weapons". These are a group of exceptionally large, powerful and cumbersome two-handed weapons that, when carried, change the view to a third-person perspective and cause the player to move more slowly. The only two weapons in this class that have been revealed thus far are the Machine Gun Turret and the Missile Pod, both of which were available in the public beta.

The now-iconic Assault Rifle which appeared in the original Halo as the MA5B but was absent from Halo 2 is returning for Halo 3 retooled into the MA5C. Developer Bungie hopes it will fill the role as the "ultimate spawn weapon", allowing players to hold their own in a fight straight away (unlike the SMG in Halo 2) but not be so powerful as to overshadow all of the other weapons (like the M6D in Halo). In hopes of fulfilling this, it has a smaller magazine and slower rate of fire than its previous iteration but a longer range and greater accuracy.

When a player is carrying a second weapon in Halo 3, the secondary weapon will be stored on the character's back (for larger, two-handed weapons) or on a leg holster (for smaller, one-handed weapons). This makes it impossible to "hide" a powerful secondary weapon and surprise unsuspecting foes.
quote:
Halo 3, like its predecessors, will also feature a strong vehicular component.
Vehicles, and their countermeasures (rockets, mines, etc.), are tightly integrated with Halo gameplay. Many of the series' vehicles are returning in the third installment. Vehicles cover a wide range of types, including light reconnaissance vehicles, large, heavily armoured tanks, troop and vehicle transport craft plus various atmospheric and spacecraft. Though not all are usable by the player.

The Mongoose ATV that had been originally designed for Halo 2 but was cut out, finally makes an appearance in Halo 3. Within the games' story, it is a human vehicle in addition to the Scorpion tank and Warthog offroad vehicle. It is a small quad-bike vehicle and, like the Warthog, the driver is unable to fire any on-board weapons. A second player can ride shotgun on the back of the vehicle to provide some offensive capability.

There is also an entirely new Brute vehicle, dubbed the "Brute Chopper". Unlike other vehicles attributed to The Covenant in the game, that entirely hover or fly above the ground, it has a single large and heavy wheel on the front with a hovering driver seat behind. It has been refered to as a "vehicle smasher," able to destroy other vehicles with a single hit.

Why So Serious?

De gelukkigen die enkele maanden geleden met de Halo 3 beta aan de slag gingen kunnen zich vast nog wel de video editor herinneren. In de beta was het mogelijk om de replay van eem match op te slaan zodat deze achteraf nog eens bekeken kon werden. Bovendien kon je de video zelf naar je hele friends list te sturen. Echter, de functionaliteit in de beta was erg beperkt. IGN kreeg gisteren de kans om, achter gesloten deuren, de video-editor in volledige functionaliteit te bekijken. Dit leverde enkele interessante nieuwe weetjes op.

- Je kan ook slechts gedeeltes van clips opslaan, ipv de hele match
- De video editor bevat allle opties die je zou verwachten, play, pause, voor- en achter uit spoelen, slow-mo, en chapter-skip
- In de video editor is het mogelijk om op iedere willekeurig tijdstip van perspectief te wisselen.
- Daarnaast is het mogelijk om de camera vrijelijk te bewegen door de levels, waarbij je niet aan de locatie van een speler gebonden bent.
- De video editor bevat ook een screen-capture functie waarmee screenshopts kunnen worden genomen. Door de screens up te loaden naar de Bungie website is het zelfs mogelijk om deze op je pc te bekijken.
- Bovenstaande functie geldt niet voor de video's
- De video-editor werkt ook voor de singleplayer modes.
