Here's a fantastic new batch of Halo 3 single-player and multiplayer screenshots - easily the best bunch we've seen so far.

Have a browse below and you'll get your first glimpse at the Brute Gravity Hammer, a brand new multiplayer map (Guardian, a remake of Halo 2's Lockout) and probably the best look at single-player we've had so far (look at the scale!). September 26 is only a month away...

We're also caught in between Elites and fancy pimped-up Spartans for our multiplayer characters. Which looks the hardest? Who's got the coolest armour? If the Elites still 'wart! Wart! Wart!' we're in.

and there are screenshots on that site

Campaign shots looked really good. Guardian looked like it might play alright, but didnt really seem too similar to Lockout. Have to wait and see...

Is it just me or does guardian look like it has no resemblance to lockout?

Other than the "Above Glass" section, it really bares nothing in common.

Actually, I bet thats pretty much exactly what its going to look like.

Everybody needs to remember that this is a different game. Its going to have DIFFERENT maps. Lockout was a very good asymmetrical map for MLG. We can't really judge Guardian until we've played it.

On a side note, Bungie always said that it is a spiritual descendant of Lockout, not that it was a remake. That just means that it is going to have the same sort of feel and playstyle to it.

It looks as if Gaurdian could be symmetrical, consisting of two big "libraries" with the center of the map being the main choke point.

It seems like the pic of the elite charging plasma was taken from an opening in the rock wall that we cannot see in the main picture, leading me to believe that both sides of the map will have a similar layout.

There's a blue launch pad from rock side to metal side, and you can see another one in the background that goes from metal side to rock side. That also leads me to believe that the map will be symmetrical.

Guardian does not look very good to me, looks like it has been totally jacked up. The last screenshot, in the background I believe those are shield doors like in SB but now pimpified, and the gravity hammer looks interesting. I won't say good or bad as I can't decide yet, and the Elites only look half retarded now. :)

Guardian doesn't look like Lockout at all. Still looks good.

That last pic doesn't have a sheild door. It has a bubble sheild and the hill.

It actually looks a lot like lockout to me. Besides the obvious difference in location . It has lots of simmilarities if your thinking of the overall picture. BBut did you really want an exact copy of lockout? Lockout to me isnt good for competition because it can set up a team to have a huge advantage over the other team depending on spawns. Gaurdian has everything that I can see that lockout had. Just lookat the pics and think of some of the lockout callouts and compare the resemblannce

I can see the resemblance, but I'd prefer a Lockout port myself.

If thats supposed to be similar to lockout, then i'm not sure what to say.

It looks rather nice though.

Ok, its NOT SUPPOSED to resemble Lockout. Its a SPIRITUAL port of Lockout. Which means that it was designed to have the same sort of feel and playstyle to it.

lockout sucks and it is completely unbalanced in terms of spawns, im happy it has changed.

Im glad it will have different maps. Lockout and midship were the only maps i liked in h2. IMO bungie really cant get any worse in map design, so im hoping that the maps will make for faster paced gameplay. H2 was too slow and the map design played a large role in that.

Bungie stated that this sint a remake of lockout and I see more of an ascension tpe map with the backwash mood.

Asension.... *shivers*

I REALLY hope this beats lockout. But, we shall see.

Well, if you think about it, ascension and Lockout are similar.
The major difference is the size, and the elevation changes throughout the map.

Well, what made Ascension a bad map?
1) Weapon placement
2) Spawns

Both can be fixed/altered with Forge! No worries!

Exactly, Ascension was a really great map and i loved it when i wasn't getting screwed over, but when people got big tower with both snipers it sucked... And lockout sucks when you get the bad spawn and is really good when you get the good one with the weapons. So both maps are just as bad, lockout just doesn't have rockets, 2 snipers to control, and isn't as huge. I hope this map along with the forge it will be really good.

Yea it really doesn't....more like Ascension.

Yeah, It (Ascension) was fun up until my team spawned so much at banshee. It's was a sniper dominant map I say. But, forge makes miracles so I suppose things will work out soon enough.

BTW, if this map turns out to be larger than Lockout and Asension, what then? I'm not exactly sure what makes a competitive map competitive.

I'm not exactly sure what makes a competitive map competitive.Tiny maps with no useful power weapons in the area and a close range to ****ing edge of the map range combat weapon to start with. Shooting somebody at the start of your spawn.
