Halo 3 features that will make your mouth water

The latest EGM piece on Halo 3 packs in quite a bit of good info on the game that we are just now starting to hear about in depth. Sure there’s a lot of words you have to swim through, so take a look at some of the cooler innovations added to the latest step for Halo.

From the article via Evil Avatar:

* The campaign mode will be keeping score of your progress. That is, you gain actual points while playing, and the better you do (ie more headshots, more sticks, etc) the higher your score. These of course will be applied to online leaderboards.
* There is something called an Elephant in multiplayer that is literally a huge mobile base that can carry vehicles and players. The article said it’s similar to the Sand Crawler the Jawas used in Star Wars. The strategy to use such a thing sounds very intersting.
* The game features this pseudo-map maker called the Forge. The really unique thing about Forge is it’s real time and co-op. You can place objects, weapons, crates, fushion cores, etc in real time with other players and then drop in and play the maps seamlessly. There are even a few game modes that have come out of this, like Jenga.
* The maps can be uploaded and shared. You can log onto Bungie.net and browse the maps, and then queue them for download. As soon as you fire up Halo 3, the maps will be downloaded.
