Halo 3 “Guardian” Video
A brand new Halo 3 Video has surfaced showing off a new Multiplayer map called “Guardian”… a map most consider to be inspired by the Halo 2 map “Lockout”. This seems to be like a leaked video from some gaming convention (The Tags on the videos indicate PAX 07). Regardless, the content is great, and definitely worth a watch. You’ll get too see one of the creepiest maps we’ve ever seen in a Halo game, plus some action from the new energy sword, and incendiary grenade.
We also were able to sight the use of the Fuel Rod Gun in this video, The Plasma Cannon, as well as the Flame Thrower. Who’s getting excited for Halo 3 now?
Also, we kind of wish that some decent players would start being in these videos. These are great, but the players just are not that good. But hey… for over 10 minutes of preview goodness… who’s to complain, right?
Halo Wars E3 Demo Online
As mentioned earlier, the Halo Wars E3 Demo is now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace! You can start downloading it immediately if you have Xbox Live, or you can also download it directly from the Halo Wars Official Website.
This guided tour through 10 minutes of play time really gives us an excellent look at what Ensemble Studios has in store for us come 2008. With the end of the Halo Trilogy so close at hand, this is some refreshing news for the Halo Nation!
Halo Wars Demo on Xbox Live Marketplace
According to ComputerandVideoGames.com, a Halo Wars Video Demonstration will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace sometime today. For those of you looking to get a glimpse of the RTS due for release next year, here is your chance!
The video demonstration will consist of gameplay from the recent E3 and Leipzig demos, complete with commentary from the dev team. If you haven’t seen it, the short preview consists of a massive UNSC base and a skirmish with an army of Covenant forces – complete with hulking Scarab walker.
Looks juicy! We’re looking forward to this video! Chances are, it will be on the internetz sometime soon if you can’t get onto the XBL Marketplace.
Halo 3 Campaign Videos from Leipzig Gamecon 2007
Lots of new content from the Leipzig Gamecon 2007 is popping up all around the internets, including footage from in-game, hands on halo 3 campaign and multiplayer.
There are lots of videos to be found now (all shaky cam at this point unfortunately, but we’re hoping for some serious HD footage from Bungie to hopefully appear soon), but definitely some fun stuff to be watching.
In the video above, you can see the new Warthog modified to carry a group of soldiers around, and the use of the Gravity Hammer (possibly the first time anyone has ever seen in in the public). My favorite line?
“Save Ammo… Run’em Over!” – Sarge?
