Hacking skullduggery around the
Halo 3 beta has revealed some new tidbits of information, including some of the single-player missions that may make it into the final game.
More specifically, a list of Achievements has been uncovered. In among the Achievements are what appear to be level names. Included in the list are: Jungle, Base, Outskirts, Voi, FloodVoi, Wasteland, Citadel, High Charity and a level on Halo itself.
Also included in the list of Achievements are the tough to find skulls, which in
Halo 2 altered a level's gameplay.
The list of Achievements is unlikely to be final, since one of those listed bears the title "placeholder" suggesting there's still work to be done.
This isn't the first time that hackers have supposedly unearthed new details from the
Halo 3 beta.
Last Monday SPOnG brought you details of several gameplay modes discovered, along with a handful of new weapons and vehicles. As we said then, the information emerging as a result of hacking should be treated as suspect since it may be from abandoned code or red herrings planted by Bungie.
So long as SPOnG's
Girl Gamer keeps bumming Halo hard, however, SPOnG remains happy with Bungie's output.
