A huge article on the single player. 6 pages long, plus another 8 pages on good ole' Halo (even mentions ilovebees). Gives a little info on pre Halo2 and post Halo1 stuff, and about how there are 3 other MC's: Will, Fred, and Linda (from the books, I never read them). The demo they got to play started them out in a Pelican that gets swatted to the ground by "an awesome giant thing" that cannot be mentioned. They then had to secure a landing zone. Made it sound like a Black Hawk Down situation instead with a MC and covenant aliens. So after fighting off a few waves of covenant mixed with grunts, jackals, and elites, some new enemies are introduced. They are called drones, and they fly around over MC's head trying to snipe you from the air. They are said to be quick, but have very weak armor. The hunters are back too, except they don't die from one pistol shot in the back anymore, and their arm cannons have been upgraded.
The next chapter of the game brings you to a ginormous bridge that is said to be just jaw dropping. And over the bridge floats a massive Covenant cruiser that cast its shadow, covering the bridge. They mentioned how amazing the AI was now, and how enemies used buildings to hide from you and eventually ambush you with its fellow comrades. If you want a marine's sniper rifle you simply press X near them, and it is yours. They give you a sarcastic remark when doing this. Also, getting hunted by three ghosts was said to be pretty sweet. Now, back to the bridge level you are given the Scropion tank, which has been redesigned a bit, to role on across the bridge shooting at hordes of enemy covenants. But you do not necessarily have to use the tank to do this. You can walk the whole way across if you want. The Bungie guys have been trying to hijack the banshees, but they have not succeeded in that yet.
The article mentions some stuff about the way clans wll fucntion. The creator of the clan called the Overlord will make all decisions for the clan. He can make people staff or peons. Peons can only participate in clan matches, where staff can recruit people into the clan and boot people from the clan. Overrall, the multiplayer just seems amazing. You all should take a look at this XBN, it has a lot of goodies
