Some new information about the third installment in the sci-fi first-person shooter Halo have come out. This time, these pieces of information are accurate or so they say the guys over at Eurogamer.

Details about Halo 3, weapons vehicles, control and collectors' edition came via subscriber issues of Swedish LEVEL magazine.
Some new weapons will be introduced in Halo 3, including a Spartan Laser gun, along with some Spike grenades and spikers.

The Spartan Laser gun will be unique as it will have the ability to disable any vehicle with one shot. The grenades will stick to walls, and will shoot out nails when they explode. Players will be able to see the spiker, some sort of a melee weapon, when it's strapped to the characters' back.

Gamers will have some new means of transportation in Halo 3, as the Mongoose will be introduced. This vehicle is a type of quad bike that can carry two people; the only downside is that it will be armed in any way.

Some levels of Halo 3 were also introduced, but these are similar to levels in Halo 2. Valhala, High Ground and Snowbound, the new levels, seem to look like Blood Gulch, Zanzibat and Frost Bite. The multiplayer mode was also addressed, and it will have a new feature called Man Cannon. Also, the functions of the X button have been enhanced, receiving some multiplayer functionality. What exactly will it do was not revealed yet.

The games' special edition, entitled Halo 3 Legendary Edition will consist of four DVDs with behind the scenes content and a pretty peculiar thing for a game, a Spartan helmet replica.
