Hey guys, not sure if anyone has posted this already but I found it on CVG:

Word is beginning to spread that certain people in the Halo modding community have only gone and made some hidden Halo 3 game files public. There are some extreme spoilers in here - should they turn out to be correct - and you've been warned.

Apparently found by retrieving hidden data in the live beta, the details have revealed secret weapons, vehicles and equipment that will appear in the final game come September 26.

The information also suggests new modes and rankings for single and multiplayer campaigns.

Now the details aren't confirmed but they look good to us. And don't go expecting Bungie or Microsoft to comment on any of it either. It's all rumour and speculation until you get your hands on the final game.

New equipment:
Instacover
Smoke
Jammer

New vehicles:
Chopper
Pelican
Shadow

New weapons:
Flamethrower
Claymore Grenade

New game mode:
Infection (described as "Destroy the Flood or become infected. Score points for killing flood or big points for infecting a human. The player with the most points wins."

New ranking info:
The highest rankings are now Killpocalypse and Killionaire, instead of Double Kill and Triple Kill.

A reference to a map editor was also made but all information has been removed from the forum in question.

the level editor and flood mode sound amazing. the level editor in far cry 360 had some decent results come out of it and that game was virtually dead online after a month or so. imagine what a community like halos could do. the flood mode sounds alot like infection mode from perfect dark zero (one of my favourate modes in an online shooter) which will hopefully turn out well.

The bubble sheild provides instant cover so this might provide some sort of cover in which you can crouch behind or something. Kind of like a gear of war mechanic. Although i doubt that.

tbh i think instacover is bubble shield and the file that the modders found might have just been the internal placeholder name.

that is also possible i guess. But they are grouped with smoke and suff which are thing we have not seen yet so...
