Talks about one of the new Halo 3 maps, Isolation. Also, in one of the pictures, you can see new armor permutations, including Mark V armor.

Look at the red Spartan at the bottom left of the picture.

Look at the red Spartan at the bottom left of the picture.

And what's the blue one at the bottom right?

I also see flood growth in the crevices, and possibly a bottomless-pit region under the sniper bunker/bridge.

Kinda looks like an inverted Battle Creek, to some extent. I wish I had a birds-eye view...

I don't know, but we'll know in less than 8 days. Also note the new Elite armor on the one driving the Mongoose.

It appears to be the same armor that Usze 'Taham will don.

Don't read the comments, someone left a coment that ruined part of the ending.

Well noted. I didn't plan to, because I know sites like that to have a slew of 'First!' etc. posts. What a waste.

EDIT: I'm not wow'ed by the architecture of the map at the moment... I guess I'll jus have to wai till I play the game, which could be a while, since I do not want to purchase any consoles, and thus any console games. I guess I'll have to hit up one of my old high-school friends for a good few games.

Oh, NOW I see the Mark V. Thanks.

This will be win. It'll be like a whole diverse squad of SPARTANs and Elites is rushing you.

Lol, it was a fake spoiler, for those who know the REAL ending.
But H1 armor... Interesting.
I must say I liked it better then H2 armor, but I wonder if you get the old H1 shields...
If you do, then I'm staying with the default MC.

Yeah, Jay, because bungie would really love to make that specific biped perm weaker than all the others.

Rofl


Also, HOLY SHIT MARK V

How about a Mk. V helmet ON an Elite? WIN!

ZOMG I am definitely playing as a mark v, oldskool ftw tbh.

I cant wait to see him in full view render. Hopefully you can choose all his original amour, and not just the helmet. That would be SICK.

Higher poly mark v with normal maps in Halo 3's engine?

Yes please kthx.

Well u can see the torso in the image aswell (red guy with rocket launcher has it set).
Doubts there will be MARKV shoulder pads though as there so similar to H2/H3 MarkVI armor's.

I wonder if we'll get Mk. VII armor when we beat the game... Probably? Just a guess.

Win.

I'm definently playing with Mark V helmet. I always loved that helmet more than the Mark VI one in Halo 2/3.

including Mark V armor.
Fuckin Ay!

If you pay attention to the picture, or use a bit of logic, you'd know that there will be the Mark V Helmet, Chest Plate and Shoulder Pads because that's what every armor permutation has (and hopefully Leg Armor Pads as well).

No leg permutations.

Masterz1337
September 18th, 2007, 04:34 PM
I'd imagine that the lack of leg and arm editing is due to the fact they didnt want to make tons of fp arm and leg varients. Old School for the win though.

Hotrod
September 18th, 2007, 04:58 PM
No leg permutations.

Do you have any proof?

Atty
September 18th, 2007, 05:28 PM
Do you have any proof to the contrary?

Yes, just a second, let me find it.

The "Ninja" and "ODST" look to be the same. Also, I didn't notice that new permunation with the two eyes... Wow that is UGLY.

Atty
September 18th, 2007, 05:48 PM
No, Ninja has a slit cut for the eyes, ODST is a full face mask. I'd post pics...but...I could get castrated for doing so.

Terry
September 18th, 2007, 05:49 PM
Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry.

Atty
September 18th, 2007, 05:56 PM
Yes, just a second, let me find it.They won't do leg permutations. If I'm not mistaken no current armor permutation interferes with FP views, Legs are in the FP View, so to do leg permutations they'd need to to trickery with the FP views which could cause some problems (clipping problems for various animations, which would then need to be re-done) at least for the chest, helmet, and shoulder perms they wouldn't need to worry. They've also not announced, showed, or hinted at any sort of leg permutations nor did the leaked videos of retail Halo 3 showing the permutation menu. :)
