Of course they say otherwise.

I wouldn't doubt if this is a screen from a replay mode or a cutscene or something similar. Many games lower frame rates and increase geometry detail and texture quality for modes like that where a constantly high frame rate isn't important.

It's simply *not* going to look like that when you're actually playing. I'll eat my fucking hat if it does, because that looks about 500 times nicer than anything in ANY OTHER SCREENSHOT we've seen.

Damn.

Can they finish the lie already.

Am I the only one who doesn't think the shot wasn't that great to begin with? I wouldn't be surprised if it WAS in-game.

Who's got some ketchup? I'll need some to scarf down this hat. The Campaign trailer looked FABULOUS.

Ahh, it's good to see the Arbiter is still around. Definitely looking forward to his scenes with the Chief.

The new trailer looks fantastic, but I'm having trouble telling how much of that is the fanboy in me talking. Either way it made me want a 360 all the more (as I'm almost certain to by one by the time H3 comes out).

I also thought the Arms Race teaser was awesome. I want one of those replica pistols.

Why does this game look great. I swear, I have to get a 360 now for this game. But what was up with that WETA live action Halo 3 trailer?

Arms Race was ridiculously cool. I almost popped a boner when the Pelican wirred into sight.
The real trailer... I liked it. The prospect of a Scarab fight is interesting. It's a proper bossfight, not just a Brute with some magical energy shield.
But the new Cortana? Hmmm...

Dude, I'm upset at seeing so much merchandise being made for this game. They should have done this for the first game, when the story wasn't ruined yet by H2. And I am pretty sure H3 is not going to help anything narrative-wise.

It's also sad how I have to buy the overpriced Plastic Helmet Edition because that's the only version with the remastered cinemas from the first game. It's going to be an expensive season when you consider having to get the Ace Combat 6 flight stick as well.

And to be blunt, I think the E3 2007 trailer looks like doo doo. It looks like a higher-resolution H2, with proper AA, but with the same nasty textures, just a tad cleaner. If you don't agree, just look at the part when they show what's her name pointing her guns towards some Brutes. That shit was H2 all over again. The only thing that is impressive is the lighting engine, which is evident in the scene with the ATVs. Of course the only good part of the trailer was the Cortana titty-bounce. God those were some big titties. Can I please get a replica of that instead of some dumb plastic Halloween helmet.

I just heard online co-op isnt going to happen come release :gonk:

I'm pretty sure that's not set in stone.

Are people honestly impressed with the graphics. I mean, look at this. What is this. Surely the thing in the back is not a ship.

It's H2 in 720p with a better lighting engine.

Still waiting for this:

Oh wait, the team that made the first game doesn't exist anymore.

No its not but Bungie said that they are having great difficulty with it at the moment so it seems unlikely, but if they should find away prior launch then they will implement the option, otherwise no.

Megalith Prime - lol think that was the worse scene of the whole trailer what about the other scenes that looked amazing, like the one with the roof tops on fire.

We'll see what weather systems Bungie can bring to Halo3, if they could only pull of something like the new Call of Duty :tpg:

Ok, this is hilarious. Apparently, the last level is:



Destroying the mythology and franchise with H2 was not enough for Bungie. They feel compelled to ruin the series at the source.

Idon't know whether or not you're right, Megalith, but the Forerunner installation from the trailer didn't exactly look like a ringworld.

Why would that installation be forced to be the last level?http://colonelskills.belkanairforce....ages/ace/1.gif

I was hoping for an epically huge battle to end the campaign. The Warthog crap at the end of the first game was just annoying and the boss fight at the end of 2 was gay as all fuck. What you want is something like Starship Troopers. MC and hundreds of marines defending a fort against a sea of Covenant attackers. That'd would be proper awesome.

Fucking rubbish. Admittedly, I was more disappointed with the fact that 2 implemented boss battles. Well... more like disappointed with its single player mode... but that was one of the more unique and exciting moments 1 had to offer. I offer the strawman argument of that bullshit end boss in Half-Life 1 as an example of what could be considered annoying.

I loved the Warthog run at the end of Halo. It was the last thing I expected to have to do at the time, and it felt pretty epic.

halol 1 in general broke many conventions and was all the better for it. The complete lack of a boss fight (blowing the ship's engines was fun though) was wonderful and I personally loved the warthog finale, no matter how many times I die in it.

2 on the other hand had not one, but THREE boss fights, all of which were the "shoot him twice and then wait/avoid fire till you are allowed to shoot him twice again" kind that made them completely awful.

It's a feature I hope won't return in 3. You can make boss fights, but build them to be consistent with the rest of the game.

Interesting how the AR has a power button on it.

Could be the switch for the flashlight or the ammo display, or a bright green reload button, if you want to think that far.
