Background
The ViDoc expands on the concepts so far seen in the Halo 3 multiplayer features, as well as introducing several new ones. It traces the development of High Ground and Valhalla, as well as the purpose and layouts of the maps.
The Video also introduced several new features to be seen in Halo 3. The game is to introduce several "Offensive/Defensive" maps where one team is on permenant "offense" and the other is on "defense" and always protecting its base from infiltration. These maps will emphasize strategic choke points and defensive turrets to turn the tide of the game. In addition, the teleporters commonly seen in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 will be replaced by the Man Cannon as a rapid means of transportation, thus allowing users of the canon to be vulnerable while in transit.
There will also be several camera features, such as the ability to get replays, freze an image, and get different angles on a fight. This will allow newer players to review games and find their own weaknesses as well as the strenghts of more skilled players. Most of the Multiplayer Medals were seen on background screens, and they will return in their original forms. In addition, at least five more yet unnamed medals will be avaliable to win.
The video shows the weapons of Halo 3, and confirms that many of the most recognizable ones from both Halo and Halo 2 will return for Halo 3. The SMG, Covenant Carbine, Plasma Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Brute Shot, Battle Rifle, Plasma Grenade, Frag Grenade, MA5C Assault Rifle, and Needler were all seen in the video, as well as the Shield Grenade, confirming that its purpose is to create an impenetrable shield that shields the user from harm. The video also introduces a new weapon: the "Trip Mine," which acts as a proximity mine players will be able to throw that can destroy Vehicles and nearby infantry when triggered. It should also be noted that at 0:23-0:24 of the clip it shows a blue Spartan weilding a Chain gun.
The name itself remains to be a bit of a mystery. The following is a possible definition:
Is - this, that, he, she, it
Quisnam - Who
Protero - Trample, Tread under foot
Damno - Damn / condemn
Possibly means: "He who walks on the damned"
This could be correct, since in the ViDoc, there are so many corpses some times, that the Spartans are walking on top of them.
