Check out these new controllers and a headset over at Xbox.com.
Its been out for a week or two now. I got it yesterday and it is pretty fun. My computer is definitely not good enough for it, but I play it anyway. Everyone should get it now. There was one thing that kept happening to me though. Everything would come out of the XBL headset including the voice. I figured out that if you plug in the headset after you start the game up, the game sounds will come out of your speakers, and the voice will come out of the headset.
A Canadian newspaper in Toronto featured some new information and images of Halo 3. It seems that there are new armor types for multiplayer and a new vehicle called the Brute Chopper. I think it looks totally sexy and the same goes for the new armor. They also revealed the names and a tiny glimpse of two new multiplayer maps, Epitaph and Shrine.
