Just came across this...

It wasn't long ago that Bungie sat down with gaming magazines around the world to share the first real information about Halo 3. And it looks like Swedish magazine, Level, has the dubious honor of being scanned first. To be fair, these aren't exactly scans, but we'll take what we can get. The magazine reveals new details about weapons, vehicles and multiplayer.

Weapons
Spiker - a new Brute weapon
Spartan laser - a laser that tears vehicles apart
Nail Grenade - sticks into walls and sends nails everywhere

Vehicles
The Mongoose is in! This is the ATV that was cut from Halo 2. It seats two and has no weapons. Designed from recon and quick travel.

Multiplayer goodies
The "Man Cannon" - Spartans do their best Human Bullet impersonations for some extremely rapid transport. Players can still shoot in the air, and can be shot down.

Controls
The X button has a new, still secret feature. Reloading has now been allocated to the bumper buttons. Right bumper reloads the right weapon, and the left bumper reloads the left. Genius.

Miscellaneous
You can now see your secondary weapon when it's not in use. In other words, it's actually slung over your shoulder instead of magically appearing out of thin air. Also, a 4 DVD "Legendary" edition is planned that will have material from Red Vs. Blue, documentaries, and a collection of all cut scenes from the game (possibly the whole series?).

Please take this info with a grain of salt, as it has all been translated from a Swedish mag that we've never heard of.

And it might even be true - looking for some type of confirmation on Bungie's official site leads to this.

It has become apparent that the promised gaming magazines are now hitting the stands (or are at least being mailed to subscribers in some areas).  They do contain much awaited and long-promised Halo 3 content.
A word of advice and another word of warning.

These magazines are copyrighted material and are available to their subscribers and people who purchase the magazine.  Scanning images, posting those images, scanning or posting transcriptions of the articles is a violation of the magazine's copyright and ownership of the material.

Anyone posting scans or text from these magazines will be permanently blacklisted from this site.  No other warnings, no appeals, nothing.

Members asking (or begging, or encouraging) scans to be posted, IM'ed or PM'ed will likewise be blacklisted for at least a week.  If we are advised to increase that penalty, we gladly will.

Bungie.Net cannot and will not be a part of people intentionally violating copyright and ownership laws.  Anyone who uses this site for that purpose is not a friend nor a fan of Bungie or this community.

Thanks for your time.

So they don't disclaim the articles, but don't acknowledge it either... hmmm....

Well they kind of hint that the magazine articles are true, but don't really say for sure.
Sometimes I Think Before I Type... Sometimes!

Some poeple in the HBO forums apparently also subscribe to that mag and are confirming it.

Oh - and HBO = halo.bungie.org, one of the top halo fansites.  Not the TV channel :)
