Gamersyde has some scans of Halo 3 from the latest Famitsu magazine. The text is pretty much all in Japanese though we expect few of you to notice as it's surrounded by pretty pictures. Shown across the seven (Ha!) scans are some campaign missions, armor permutations, weapons, equipment, and multiplayer levels. Most of these have been seen before in some form or another, but any Halo 3 news is good Halo 3 news, even if we don't get to play the Epsilon build.
[Thanks, DjDATZ]

Wow, this is from Famitsu. I guess Microsoft is doing better in getting its act together in Japan.

Most of those pics can be seen in the new issue of EGM. It's out now...three covers. (MC, pale green/yellow Spartan CQC armorset, and Elite in orange.)
Also in that issue is the ad Knuckles spoke about weeks ago, referring to 'A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him' text.

Holy @#!$, are those map editing tools in that last scan!? There's certainly a whole lot of new stuff in these: Hornet, Elephant, Prowler, and a weapon called the 'mauler', also what the hell is that weapon thing strapped to the spartan's arm in that multiplayer scan, with the letters E.V.A. alongside it?

I was under the impression that in co-op one would only be able to play as [one] MC and Elites, but looking at the second scan makes me think Spartans will be available in co-op as well.
It definitely looks like there are two Spartans there.
What does everyone think?

sweet. the flame weapons are the opposite of the bubble shield. this can make for some very interesting multiplayer mechanics.

No, the other Spartan armorsets are for multiplayer only. Co-op offers MC, the Arbiter and two Elites.

@ 18.
No, the bubble shield's external shell catches on fire from flamethrower or Molotov; it doesn't go through it.

Did some research.
Found that Resistance also has a bubble shield called "backlash grenade", spiker grenade called "hedgehog grenade", fire grenade called "air fuel grenade" and flamethrower called "dragon". and the flame affects the environment just like in Halo 3. :/
So who's ideas came first. can anyone tell me this?

@Toph
no, haha. i meant the opposite like one is shelter from range and ones shelter for melee.
you can go through the bubble shield, but it's advised not to go through the fire wall.
this makes tactics very intresting.
