Likely to the delight of fans, the update also confirms that the Master Chief's third outing will take a back to basics approack and be similar in feel to the first Halo: "There's lots of the feel of the original Halo, where you'll find yourself in a huge (dangerous) and intrinsically fascinating environment and just want to go tool around and check things out," the update reads. The Halo sequel was previously criticised for having more confined environments and weaker pacing compared to the first game, and according to our friends on OXM "The ending F***ING SUCKED!" Ahem.
"It's still Halo, but there's a bigger feeling scope to some of these levels that has me reminiscing about the original game," the update continues. We'll keep you posted when more Halo 3 hints escape Bungie's iron fortress.
