[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tiki Guy I like the initial idea of all these new weapons however the game could get a little too unbalanced. There's word of this 'Spartan Beam' and as EGM said, I hope it doesn't become the single most powerful weapon in the game, cause that would be aweful. Also the new 'man launcher' or whatever seems messed up, I mean it might make CTF games at levels like Coag (BloodGutch) way too easy with just lauching the flag across the map. No doubt I'm pissing my pants everyday that Halo3 gets closer, I just hope I won't become dry while I'm actually playing it. (I hope that came out right, unlike the 'BrokeBack' ATV) :)[/quote] ok, lets work on some of your vocabulary. First of all it "spartan laser" and second of all it's "man cannon" If you have been reading some of the stuff EGM has put on their website, especially the commentaries of the guys who have played Halo 3, you can find out that the spartan laser has a charge time, so you can take them out before they fry you to a crisp. As for the man cannon, i agree, putting the flag in it would suck and would be cheap. To counter that- maybe thats why the new vehicle, the atv type thing (mongoose, i think, correct me if i'm wrong ) is faster than a boosting ghost, so you can catch up to where they launched the flag.
