--Halo 3 Rumors
Found some halo 3 rumors while i was checking out the
360...
* Dark & gritty storyline
* Online co-op campaign for 2+ players
* Multiplayer bot scenarios
* 50+ players on Live!
* New editions of Zanzibar, Sidewinder & Hang Em
High
* Map editor
* Movie editor
50 players? that's a little extreme. Hang Em High, the
best map ever. and I think i know what additions are
in it too. for halo 1 they never finished some of the
multiplayer levels because the release date was
rushing them. so on hang em high there was supposed to
be another chamber-type area with a flame thrower
somewhere. but as they ran out of time they just put a
wall over the unfinished areas instead of de-programming
it. it was a known "no-clipping" area where
in halo 1 you could get to with hacks and stuff. but I'm
not going to get my hopes up cause they are still rumors.
-XBOX 360
This information is not rumor.

-New Maps:
Well the 9 new maps are well made and will for a long
time will dominate the old, as far as popularity. they
all where made to be a little less symmetrical as
where the old ones. most of them have a main
game-play. as to say that they all are made to best
support a game-type. ie: Slayer, CTF, BOMB etc.. I
think we should really focus on these new maps and try
to exploit strategies for them as we have with the
other maps. NEW MAPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR $5 CHARGE via
Richard Keys. these where well planed and well made
maps with a lot to offer.
-XBC:
Well it seems that I have hit a dead end with XBC. I
cant seem to find out what is causing it to crash. the
only clue is that it started when i downloaded the
patch. no one else seems to have a problem connecting,
so I will just have to wait for an additional patch to
come out and try that one.

-JrM The Fong has been booted from the JrM Halo 2
Branch.
-Reggin has changed his name to JrM CorpsegrindR.
-More LAN's have been played this week then the total
of last month! Improvement has been driven on by most
players, including CorpsegrindR, who is improving the
most lately.
-Our old enemy 'Anti-Lemmings' has said to Halo 2
Branch Manager (JrM XeN) that they want to war with us
soon. So whenever they are ready, we will be there.

Affiliates and other links on the 'Links' page of the

-JrM_XeN (Kai) is now going
to prepare the news for the Halo 2 Site. Here is his
first entry:
Headsets are the bees knees for online Halo playing. I
played Halo online for a while without one and it
sucks not being able to have a say in what game to
play. Anyway, it's better because you can say
"tea bag" to people when you kill them. I
need some reliable teammates out there to ally with. I
didn't realize how could you could be at Halo but I
got owned the other day 2v6, and I was on the 6 player
team and the score came out to be something like 8 -
50.
May 28, 2005
-Here is some information that I received when i
was on some random forums:
May 16, 2005 - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told
Time Magazine this week of his plans to launch Halo 3
as soon as Sony's PS3 hits the market. One of the best
selling console titles to date with over 6.5 million
copies sold, Halo 2 flew from shelves on its release
date. Declaring that Halo 3 would not be ready for
Xbox 360's official lanuch, Bill Gates made it clear
he was challenging Sony. "Note to the hard-core
faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat
not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360. It
will be part of the all-important second wave next
spring. 'It's perfect,' Gates says, radiant with
bloodlust. 'The day Sony launches [the new
PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.'"
With the Halo franchise serving as a guaranteed
holiday sales booster, we are sure it will help put
Xbox 360's in homes everywhere.
