- Features Matchmaking
- New game type ‘meat flag’ sort of like CTF but epic have done this in their own way. The flag will instead be character wandering around the center of the map. He has his own weapons and even a place on the leader board.To capture him you will need to down him and pick him up as a meat shield and take him back, slowly, to your base. If you shoot the meat flag enough times while he’s being dragged back to base, his captor will loose him and he’ll go crazy on everyone around him.

- Stopping power - if your running towards an enemy but he is firing straight into your chest, you will slow down.
- The opportunity to spawn with either the lancer or hammer burst.
- Bullet shields. big metal shield that stops you from getting hit. can be planted into the ground to make a new cover. enemies can kick it down though if they get close enough. However you can only use a pistol when carrying it also it slows you down drastically.
- Grenades can be stuck anywhere. not just on enemies. they can be planted on the ground,walls,doors etc to produce a proximity mine.
- Smoke grenades carry a stun effect that rag dolls anyone in range.
- On games with no respawn, when you are dead you can fly around the map as a “ghost cam”. You can even take screen shots that will be uploaded to the community.
- New map - ‘river’ - symmetrical map, each team has a thin strip of land with a house and sniping tower, and in between them a river.
- New map - ‘Security’ - long thin map. to the left and right are stairs leading to veranda’s that run the entire length of the map. you are barred access however by red lasers, which will kill you if attempting to pass through. A power weapon is barred on the other side of the map while at the other it is defended by sentry guns. There is a button in the middle of the map that turns the lasers and sentry’s off for 20 seconds.
- “X” button: Traditional curb-stomp.
- “B” button: Melee attack that will be weapon specific. (Longshot sniper rifle will be used as a golf club of death.)
- “Y” button: Flips your opponent over and let’s you punch in their face … UFC style.
- “A” button: Use your enemy as a “meatshield” that limits your weapon choice to a pistol.
- All weapons have a variable amount of “stopping power” that’ll slow down an opponent’s running or diving abilities.
- Whoever does the quickest amount of “B” button tapping will be victorious.
- Your teammates can help give you an edge in the duel by shooting the opponent which will give you the upper hand on the “B” button mini-game.
- No duel will occur if a player is chainsawed from behind. Instead, “butt to head” chainsaw animation will kick in giving the attacker and instant kill.
- Two people can chainsaw one guy at the same time.

Rumores sobre Diablo 3

16 04 2008

Diablo e Diablo II foram enormes sucessos na época em que foram lançados. Eu joguei os dois e esses jogos me proporcionaram incontáveis horas de diversão. Agora em todos os cantos da internet rumores sobre a continuação de Diablo II começaram a aparecer. Os rumores ganharam mais força ainda com várias vagas de emprego oferecidas pela blizzard e por uma entrevista dada por Paul Sams:

“Diablo … well, it is obviously a very important franchise to us. And I would say, that as with Starcraft and Warcraft, we will certainly get back to it at some point. We are focusing currently on World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and content associated with World of Warcraft and Starcraft II. We do have some other things in development, and we are not ready to talking about it yet, but what I can say is that we do love that franchise. And its something that we will get to revisit at some point.”

Um dos mais antigos sites, diabloii.net tem uma página muito interessante sobre todos os rumores desde 2000 até hoje. Para todos que jogaram e que se interessam pelo título vale a pena ler.
