"Is Quisnam Protero Damno!" Halo 3 Video Documentary

"I condemn him whom I trample under my feet."

A ViDoc detailing the development of the multiplayer game was released on April 10, 2007. It highlighted the major ways in which the developers have sought to improve upon the Halo 2 multiplayer game which was so successful. All graphics shown were from an alpha build - no decorators were yet in place, many textures were still only placeholders, and the HDR lighting model was not being used. Nevertheless, the graphics were already demonstrably far superior to the game's predecessors, which is unsurprising as this is a next generation installment for the series. Previously unseen gameplay elements included:[20]
A first look at the bubble shield, tripmine, and portable gravity lift.
The first look at using the portable machine gun turrets.
The first mention of saving played games to be later viewed.
At least two new multiplayer maps were shown.
An in depth look at how the man cannons (gravity boosters) have replaced the teleport modules that were found in the previous games. Bungie has stated that in pre-development they thought about how to get a player, and some vehicles,[21] across the map.
