I've heard all this GRAW esque speculation, however if this is an add on, it will use the Halo 3 engine so I cannot imagine it would be such a large change in gameplay. However I'm pretty certain I remember reading in a Bungie Weekly update that they declared they had no plans for campaign expansions. Only time will tell.
Halo 3
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Sep 25, 2007
The conclusion to the original Halo trilogy has the super-soldier Master Chief joining forces with The Arbiter to finish off the threat of both the remaining Covenant Empire and the parasitic Flood, once and for all.
Bungie Teaser
"Here is the trailer analysis"
That was suprisingly elaborate.
TimesHero said:
"Karmum said:"All I have to say is I'm not interested, considering it is Halo relevant, I'm passing on this game."Then why did you even bother posting?"
He loves to boost his post count.
"Ma7moud said:" "I saw that too, but maybe that's the date of the next trailer ;)"
Maybe this is an ad for a new line of Halo 3 Gamerpics.
Xbox 360 Fanboy gave a nice explanation. If you look closely, in the background, you'll see Truth's ship and the huge explosion is that moment in Halo 2 when Truth jumps into slipspace in the middle of New Mombassa. This apparently leaves only one surviving drop pod. We can only assume that this is the protagonist of our little story. And if you look closely at the end... you see a date. It's coming out in January.
I feel like I'm the only man on Giant Bomb excited for this expansion. I enjoyed the Halo 3 campaign, loved how it played. The story was not great, sure, but as a player who favors singleplayer over competitive multiplayer, I'm more than content with this revelation.
Bring it, Bungie. I'm ready.
Remember that bonus disk that was released after halo 2 with all those maps and video's on it? One of the video's was about one of the squads, and it takes place approximately at the same time."
That was my thought too, even if it's not about that squad in particular, it shows they want to expand on these guys. They said that they really like the ODST's in particular, but only got a good chance to use them in Delta Halo (halo 2) so wanted to use them more in halo 3. They did a bit, having them as the troops on the sandy levels of the Ark, but still, they just felt like normal troops then, not the 'crack team' they should have.
Playing the multiplayer with all the things you can change, SWAT is a mode that many people find fun as it brings something different to the game (no shields btw) and makes you work as a team more, watch each others backs. Having a campaign with this 'straight out of the box' may be a bit hard, but with a bit of tweaking it could bring something new without a big change in tech.
Also, yeah, I'm pretty excited! :D
