Anyways, I just got my copy of Dutch gaming magazine Power Unlimited and they've got some little pieces of info we might not have seen/heard before. (And it it has been told here today...well, I'm not going to read through the first 3 pages of these forums )
- Jackals are confirmed (no big suprise) and described as having a face that resembles "an evil crossbreed between a shark and an iguana"...expect loads of nasty teeth I guess?
- Returning Covies in general are described as "fitting a survival-horror game as well". Again: not a big suprise.
- The UNSC Infinity will show up during the Campaign (guess we all expected that)
- Matchmaking area of Infinity will be called "War Games"
- BR is being described as "single shot" and DMR as "burst"....which is more than likely a mistake....Should be the other way around of course
- Author states the multiplayer feels "f---ng amazing!", after saying he didn't really like Reach that much.
- "Perks" seem to be called "Modifications". Example given is that the author could carry (a few) more grenade(s).
- Plasma Rifle has been replaced with what he personally calls the "Covenant Assault Rifle" which spews "a storm of blue balls", and is described as "incredibly awesome".
Which sounds like the Plasma Repeater in a better form of sorts to me.
- He states the classic "chanting monks" tune WILL in fact be back, after rumours on these forums being concerned it wouldn't return.
The the new gun we saw on the OXM tease:
It does in fact look like a UNSC-Forerunner hybrid with the layout of the Covenant Plasma Repeater.
It also shows the full picture of that gun, as seen here.
All in all no great shocks or completely new things. Just some little details that sounded new to me at least. Like the War Games, Plasma Rifle replacement and a tiny little insight in the Modifications.
