Halo 3's 'X' button secret confirmed!
Posted: April 14, 2007 - 9:37 pm by Lupe
In the latest posting over at Bungie.net, they have listed many new and not so new details about their upcoming beta for Halo 3. One of the many topics they addressed was the revelation of the mysterious 'X' button.
You guys did see the final revelation of the mysterious X-Button. It’s what’s known (at the moment) as Equipment. The two very plain examples shown in the Vidoc were the Bubble Shield and the “Tripmine.” Both can be used in all manner of strategic and hilarious ways. There might have been another, but you can wait a month to see that one. This was brought up while discussing the many things gamers saw during the multiplayer video, which was recently released. They also went on to say that many players were concerned with the state of the graphics in the game, but reassured everyone that the issue was non-existant as the state of said graphics were from months earlier. When the discussion of the 'X' button continued 'Frankie' went on to the topic of the Shield: In the old alpha footage you’re watching, the shield generator actually rolled downhill and the player protected inside it had to walk backwards with it to enjoy its shelter. In the beta, it won’t roll. We’re still playing around with things like that. It’s also possible to simply walk inside the shield and fight the inhabitant. It only protects them from explosions and projectiles. Vehicles and people can wander right through. If you die without deploying it, you’ll drop it, just like a gun or ‘nades. Someone else can then pick it up and use it. One other interesting and no less 'hot' topic was the inclusion of a mysterious new weapon in the video. Frankie stated that he saw it referred to as a "chain gun", but quickly stated "but I ain't talking". It was a good and interesting read. Stay right here to see it as it develops!
