In the midst of our most recent multimedia mélange, Chris Carney might have told some reporters that Zealot was quite a bit like Midship. And while it’s true that both multiplayer offerings take place aboard a Covenant vessel, and that both boast the same boisterously purple color palette, that’s where the stark similarities end. Zealot is its own thing, even if we did call it Aftship during production.
A Midship remake? WRONG!
The most notable difference is Zealot’s inclusion of low gravity exterior combat. Once outside, you can quickly navigate the expanse of the entire map, and use your lofty perch to drop down and deal death from above on unsuspecting schmoes. Coupled with a convincingly space-ified audio effect, somewhat similar to the outer hull audio experience found in Halo 2's, Zealot makes for a unique, multiplayer experience.
And just wait until you lay eyes on the sky, er...space box. Ho, boy. The final frontier never looked so spectacular.
One giant leap for mankind.
You actually first saw this space way back when by way of a pre-Beta ViDoc, but I don’t blame most of you for missing it. It was only on screen for a few measly moments.
Oooooh, purpley.
