14 DAY TRIAL // As if they weren't sick and tired with shooting and explosions, Bungie decided to surprise the US troops stationed in Iraq and set up a Halo 3 LAN party. Yeah, they allowed those who didn't make it home for the holidays to enjoy some quality shooting time, as if their job was not that of shooting and blowing things up.
This information has come via a post on GameSpot Forums by Cowboy082288 who claims to be an US soldier stationed in Iraq. This is what he had to say, judge for yourself:
"No bs. I'm in the army and currently deployed to Iraq, the Halo developers are bringing the game here. It is going to be set up for 3 days 24hours a day. We get to test play it and they are going to be asking us what we think.
I think A jumps, right trigger shoots, right shoulder picks up weapon and gets you in vehicles, left trigger throws grenades, pressing down on right analog stick zooms o yeah the button on the right just above the A buton butt strokes with your weapon. The button to the left of the A button might be what is used to cycle weapons but I never did that, I saw other people do it though. They told me that currently the game can support up to 12 players without lag, but they are going to get that number higher.
O yeah and the X button thing, I looked at the controller menu and there are different setups but every setup has a button called classified. I guessing it is a function they have not added to the game yet. O and Y lets you cycle threw the different weapons your carrying."
I've corrected some spelling mistakes but I guess you don't need much brains when at war...
