Just finished the short Demo. And all i'll say is WOW!

Im going to run through it again tomorrow for a slightly less shallow observation than first impressions undoubtedly give.

But if you want me to tell you how id rate what i saw/experienced from what they've allowed us to see so far (and it really wasn't THAT much) id say im very much impressed. The only thing i would say in terms of small gripes...is:

The weapon selection will take a bit of getting used to.

Perhaps i can see a bit of 'same old' regards enemies spawning.

Other than that - ROLL ON THE 24TH!!!  -  Water effects look astonishing btw.

Bungie confirm there will be a flamethrower and a fourth grenade in Halo 3.

Flamethrower

Image

M7057 / Defoliant Projector

Official Designation:            M7057/DP
Length (o/a):                         116.8 cm               (46 in.)
Weight (empty):                   45.8 kg                   (101 lbs)
Weight (loaded):                  55.5 kg                   (122.5 lbs)
Cartridge:                              Pyrosene-V
Max. effective range:          13.4 meters          (44 ft)
Magazine capacity:              9 x three-second bursts

Unit Replacement Cost:      cR. 1,520.00

Description:
The M7057/DP is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid fuel. Flamethrowers are cumbersome and relatively difficult to use (psychologically as well as mechanically).

Observations:
Referring to the M7057/DP as a weapon[1] is a bit of a misnomer as the dee pea in its nomenclature indicate that it is a defoliant projector—to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets. That having been said; despite being all but obsolete militarily its effectiveness as a psychological weapon is undeniable—unfortunately the psychological effect is a double-edged sword.

Fourth Grenade

Image

Type-3 Antipersonnel / Antimateriel Incendiary Grenade

Official Designation:            Type-3 AP/AM
Length (o/a):                         30.5 cm                  (12 in.)
Weight :                                 3.6 kg                     (8 lbs)
Filler:                                      Unknown
Killing radius:                        3.4 meters          (8 ft)

Unit Replacement Cost: cR. NA

Description:
The type-3 incendiary grenade is used to destroy materiel. The filler of the type-3 AP/AM grenade burns for 4.5 seconds and can damage, immobilize, or destroy vehicles, weapon systems, or munitions. It can also be used to temporarily block enemy movement through restrictive areas. It has acquired the monikers “Molotov” and “firebomb”.

Observations:
The type-3 incendiary grenade can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The casing of the device is converted to a molten state, which burns at approximately 2200 °C. It must be noted that looking directly at the incendiary grenade as it burns; the intensity of the light is potentially hazardous to the retina.

Balls to all this new-fangled nonsense.

I've just written an article for Retro Gamer magazine about the good old BBC B and Acorn Electron. So I've been mostly playing Chuckie Egg, Dare Devis Denis, and other such things for the last month or so. D
