The Burn Collection

- Halo 3 will have a darker and more gritty story than the previous games.

- Bungie is working hard on maintaining an online cooperative mode supporting more than two players at once.

- Halo 3 will feature an impressive amount of cinematics. The opening scenes take place thousands of years before the timeline of the original Halo: Combat Evolved.

- The game will have a multiplayer mode pitting players against bots in scenarios directly connected to the story of the game.

- Bungie is also working on a map editor and movie maker which will come on a separate disc, and it has an entire team working just on these two projects. Players will be able to send and receive their maps/movies through Xbox Live.

- Zanzibar, Sidewinder and Hang Em High will return to the multiplayer mode, completely reworked. Zanzibar will be mangled and torn apart as though after the battle, the sky will be dark red. Sidewinder will have four legs instead of just two, with bases at each end. Hang Em High will have a massive tree at its center and the structure will be deteriorated.

- Bungie's target is to be able to support more than fifty players on Xbox Live for certain maps.
