Halo 3 double XP weekend: Legendary Brawl


Bungie has announced the latest Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend and it is ... Legendary Brawl! Just what the heck is Legendary Brawl, you ask? It's a 12 man free-for-all death fest, that's what it is. But wait, there's more! Not only will Legendary Brawl award you double experience points this weekend, but it's ranked. As a large number of Halo 3's multiplayer achievements can only be earned in ranked free-for-all matches, this weekend marks the perfect opportunity to rack up some of the more difficult ones. Just makes sure you have the Legendary Map pack, as it's required to access the Double EXP playlist.

The Double EXP weekend is already underway, so start leveling up if you're so inclined.

H3: Custom Spartans, a chopper & more confirmed!

Holy moly macadamia nut! A bunch of Halo 3 leakage has hit the internet tonight, confirming a bunch of rumors that we've all been hearing over the past few months. On The Final Fight forums Dj243 posted a few very low quality scans of an upcoming issue of GamePro magazine which details some yet to be announced Halo 3 goodies including new maps, equipment items, weapons and vehicles. Are you excited yet? Huh, are you? Well, there's no use in torturing you as we've posted all the new info and (very low quality) magazine scans after the break. Hurry and click already, unannounced Halo 3 details await ...

Bungie profiles the Spartan Laser


Continuing their series of weapon profiles, Bungie.net now has a "field report" up about Halo 3's new Spartan Laser (not to be confused with even deadlier Laser Cats). In short, the Spartan Laser is death on a stick. Well, death on a shoulder mounted stick to be more precise. Unlike previous field reports, the Spartan Laser profile has several bits of info and specifications redacted. So for now, we don't know precisely what the weapon's range is. Judging from the report, we can gather that the laser may have a scope and that it will only have a limited amount of ammunition. In other words, once the weapon is empty, it will have to be tossed, much like Covenant plasma weaponry. The profile goes on to describe the weapon's tactical uses on both High Ground and Valhalla. One interesting use we hadn't considered: the Spartan Laser produces a thin beam of light that is used to "paint" the target before the weapon fires. Much like the targeting laser for GOW's Hammer of Dawn, this can be a terrifying experience for the enemy. So, rather than wasting a precious Spartan Laser shot, the targeting laser itself can be used to scare enemies into running to a less defensible position. Nice. All in all, it sounds like a formidable weapon, and we can't wait to try it out. Click the "read" link for the full profile.

Oh, and don't forget, the "Rule of Three" Halo 3 beta entry program begins today. Anyone gunning for a slot?
