Halo 3 single-player unveiled; first mission and Brutes revealed (page 2 of 2)

  • Grunts are tough, too: No longer the pipsqueaks they were in previous games, Grunts are far more aggressive in Halo 3. Bungie's Frank O'Connor even told us that in certain instances, Grunts will dual-wield Plasma Pistols and rush the player in a sort of berserker mode.

  • Brutes wear powered armor: Many of the Brutes wore heavy-duty powered armor that made them nigh-invulnerable to bullet weapons. The solution? Blast it off with an over-charged Plasma Pistol, or give it a melee smack to knock off chunks at a time.

  • Improved graphics: The visuals were far more impressive than what we've seen in the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. The particle effects looked flashier, such as more dazzling explosions and new green gas that emits while you eject an empty Carbine clip. Jungle vegetation also looked crisp, clean, and very atmospheric, while the enemy character models showed impressive detail. On a whole, it's a much more visually sumptuous experience than the more plain Jane multiplayer mode and a hell of a lot more impressive than Halo 2.
