New Halo 3 scans showcase its campaign

With each passing week, seemingly more and more Halo 3 campaign screens and info begin to surface, stirring hype before its grand release this September. This time, French gaming magazine Joypad has revealed several new screens that take place in one of Halo 3's jungle locales. It's now evident: Bungie sure as hell wasn't lying when they said the Halo 3 single player would look great.

[power of Green]

Can somebody tell me whats being said in the 3rd pic.

[P4KY B]

Graphics are better than gears of war. And how the walls of Sony HQ will come tumbling down once Halo 3 is released.

[i Shank u]

yo i took three years of french and i cant read one fvcking word damnit!, except something about colors change with circumstances or something anyone can figure lol. but yea, what he said, walls and wallets will be crumbling

EDIT- @ below thx for translation. Gears + colors is niceeee

[P4KY B]

Technically, the shock is less than at the time of Gears of War.
However, it is very pretty, decorations are vaster colors in all circumstances.

---------------
Therefore, graphics on a par with GOW but with more colours.

[InMyOpinion]

"Technically, the shock is less than at the time of Gears of war. However, it is very pretty, the decorations are vaster and the colors pètent(?) in all circumstances."

[eLiNeS]

You both beat me to it. I took to long trying to figure out all the words. Not sure what "pètent" is either, or "pòtent".

[larry007]

MS are surely crazy.

They are bringing this game in the era of Photorealism displayed by LAIR,HS,KZ2,UT3,FF13,MGS 4,GT 5 and others.

already PS3 has overtaken x360 in NA...

http://www.vgchartz.com/awe...

www.vgcharts.org

wht does MS want to do with this cartoon game???

LOL

[nasim]

P4KY........no one is hyped up for this cartoon halo 3.

ps3 has already overtaken x360 in NA in july

www.vgcharts.org

PS3 is murdering x360 in terms of sales in JAPAN and EUROPE

as for others ...this is the cartoon gameplay footage of HALO3.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

the ingame footage of LAIR,HS and KZ2 look much better than the CGI move of ga*LO 3

[360Crusader]

Its always funny to see how little it takes for a Sony Fan boy to gloat

A really pathetic lot you are. The PS3 out sold the 360 by 13,000 consoles, big victory for you guys huh? The 360 been out a year before the PS3 yet its sales still remain strong. And I predict when the price cut happens in August the scales will tip again. Because we know people like a good deal.

And did you see the 360 software sales (WEEKLY) on your link larry007?
The 360 is crushing all (723,703) even the, almighty PS2 is getting man handled (449,275) that's really achievement considering the PS2 has well over a thousand games and the software is cheaper. Give credit people.
And DS (412,195) & Wii (391,845) is even farther behind, and well the PS3 (254,069) ranks in at number 5

And you both say Halo 3 looks cartoony? Thats one neat looking cartoon.
Are you sure were looking at the same screen shots? Maybe you seen them pictures on Halo 1 and 2 website when you were looking to purchase them.

But dont get me wrong I'm not entirely without sympathy for Sony fan boys. PS3 is a good piece of hardware and they do have some really good games coming out. But so does the 360. So dont go running your mouths so soon. Its not very polite.

[hazeblaze]

I do like the art design of the game's environment... but it doesn't look very crisp or 'powerful' graphically. Certainly doesn't look up to Gears level... makes me wonder does it look different in the scans than what they were actually seeing???

Aside from the design & the broader color scheme... it does look very similar to Resistance graphically. NOT trying to flame! And like I said, maybe it'll look better in person or something.

[The Panther]

Im not a Halo fan but Im getting excited, This will be the first game I buy(only rented the first two games).

[Lyberator]

Yeah I'm starting to get more hyped for this now.

[larry007]

Here is the cartoonistic gameplay footage of HALO 3

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[Wile]

wish I spoke french.

[Bloodmask]

It is kind of wierd seeing Halo based in an Earth-like environment.

I wasn't in the beta. But I hope Bungie sped up the firing rate of the plasma rifle. In 2 it shot so slow and bc of that the accuracy was horrible.

[Lyberator]

From what I played of it it still sucks. I always had trouble getting a kill with it (by itself). But that might just be me. And I'm sure they tweaked it. That's what the beta was for.

@i shank you- yeah the plasma/physical combo still works great. Thats the only thing its good for IMO.

edit: yeah thats gunna be the combo to use. P rifle and brute shotty.

[i Shank u]

in the beta on snowbound i got alot of kills with plasma rifle/brute spikr combo. i liked the rifle better this time, what i noticed is while the plasma is in the air it travels faster then before. BAM! ur dead faster now :)

EDIT- ^^^yep, thats what its good for. dude with new pistol and one hand brute shotty the plasma rifle's gonna be more useful this time

[MastaGT]

Man, I don't give a dam flying fuc* about sony's ps3 or it's price drop...microsoft's got some killer games and the best killer app on any console.

Sony don't got anything on microsoft

Halo3 babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! !
Hope sony loses some customers to this brilliant game come the 25th of september

[tomfoolery]

The beta was possibly a minor let down on purpose?
Didn't want to give the whole enchillada away I assume,a
possible theory any way.
I am confident this game will make sane PS3 and Wii owners go,wow,
I want this.
Otherwise,they will possibly miss out.

[FCOLitsjustagame]

I am getting the game regardless but I wouldnt count on that being what the graphics really look like. Halo, is Halo. It has its own style and is not really meant to compete with the likes of Gears in graphics. We will see if I am proven wrong though. I just dont want anyone all expecting one thing and then being dissappointed. Assume the graphics will look like a better version of what you saw on the multiplayer and then anything beyond that will be a pleasant suprise. The important thing is that the game plays good.

[WaggleLOL]

No dedicated servers.
Same old laggy P2P networking from last gen.
Can't handle more than 16 players per game.
Pathetic last gen graphics.

Halo 3 has turned out to be such a disaster that Xbots have resorted to trying to fake enthusiasm for Call of Duty 4.

[Lyberator]

You've resorted to calling other people names for owning a certain consumer product. Sad.

And funny. Fake enthusiasm huh. I still play cod2 religiously so I think my enthusiasm is genuine. How many cod games have you played?

Edit: Wile- I personally wouldn't call 400 and 600 dollar consoles toys but I see your point. People like this guy just strike a nerve with me thats all. The ignorance astounds me.

[Wile]

no need for the rabidness. Its just a game. Consoles are just toys. And you need to chill.

[i Shank u]

poor baby. suck it up would you

[Nemesis]

Can't believe this kid still has all his bubbles intact, he contributes absolutely nothing to this site, except giving PS3 fans a bad name.

What is it Waggle? no friends, bullied at school, not enough love from mummy perhaps, or maybe too much love from daddy!

My guess is that this kid doesn't even own a next-gen system. I bet the only experience this turd has with the PS3 is from standing in stores all day playing on demo pods while truanting from school.

He probably asked his parents for a PS3 or 360 last christmas and awoke on christmas day to find a Wii under the tree instead. Damn, that's enough to make anyone bitter. Not all is lost though Waggle; You can still use the Wiimote to improve your wrist action before retiring to your room for some real fun.

Maybe by the time PS4 and Xbox 720 are released you'll be old enough to work and buy one for yourself. I mean, there's never a shortage of toilets that need scrubbing and bins to be emptied.

It's a shame that real gamers have to put up with this little scrote. I thought this site had finally turned a corner, with people actually learning to get along and respect each others gaming preferences. Come on mods, IP ban this degenerate before more like him are emboldened to join the site.

[pshizle]

You just made everyone dummer...

[i Shank u]

Halo 3.it has me on the internet at 4am commenting about it on N4G. cracked out already and the game is still over a month off ahhhhhh

[tomfoolery]

why come in here,a 360 story,and pull that crap.I never venture in
PS3 news.Bro,let's try to show respect to eachother on this.I think we'll all benefit in the long run.Take care.

[Nemesis]

Only an IP ban is going to stop this degenerate.

[StrboyM]

people complained about the fact that MGS4 has drab colors or "only a few colors" i hope that these pics let people know that its a developers idea that creates the sceenery and in these type of games it aint a happpy situation. the game does look, muuuuch better now. if these are actual in game pics.

sad thing about all this is there will be no Peter Moore there when this baby does drop

@MastaGT i dont know if this is at the level of Killzone yet. id have to see some ingame videos

[tomfoolery]

but that hasn't stopped Sony from moving on.Your point?

EDIT:I've heard that the devil double talks.

[StrboyM]

FVck ken!!

im a sony fan... and i think i liked peter more than i liked ken.

i would have a smile on my face when i saw good ole Pete, cause i knew he was gonna do some serious double talking. Ken just babbled nonsense

[felidae]

i really wanna play halo 3 but i´m a little disappointed by the graphics.

i mean, it looks good but "comic good" -- not "reality good" - that´s my problem.

[i Shank u]

the Halo3 beta made Call of duty 2 and 3, shadowrun, Fear, battlefield 2, Prey, Quake 4, and R6 Vegas look old. Those are all the shooters on 360 ive played and it had the best multiplayer grphx out of anyone of them IMO. I know what you mean about the comic grphx, the art style doesnt please everyone, but the quality of the grphx will be High res as anything, hopefully with no texture pop in this time.

@POG below- dude good point with the color filters. helps give gears its look and makes a ton of other games look better then it is. How do you guys think RE4 would have looked with out that filter effect to hide the blurry/muddy textures?

[power of Green]

So you don't wan't to purchase Uncharted, MGS4, FF, etc because of games being color filtered?(what you call real i call lazzyness/short-cut/smoke and mirrors) Call of Juarez is one of the only games i'v seen that matches reality with out color filtering.

Halo looks great man I have an HDTV with HD channels and life's more colorful than Halo 3 besides if you go out side nothing looks like GoW or Heavenly Sword.

Here are some low quality "comic?" pics of Halo 3.

[DARK WITNESS]

its called art style... you know, the same excuse sony fans come up with when we talk about Heavenly Sword and a young ladies problem with some very square, last gen looking red hair...

[GameOn]

Your a sony fanboy.
Heres a quote from YOU that i just saw in another article.

"and why is it that i don't like the games for the 360?

i see them all day but i still don't like 'em.

i like games for the playstation 3 - and i think i'm not the only one. "

[FirstknighT]

Damn Halo 3 is going to be a BEAST!!!!! Bow down for all mighty Halo!!! This could possibly be one of the greatest games ever. Near 5 million pre-orders and counting :)

[tomfoolery]

Master Chief.
"Just plain bad ass",as my step son says.

[medziarz]

Comment by Johnson jones on 2007-07-30 10:25:06

I’m sorry but those screen shots don’t look much of an improvement over beta, the jungle looks as detailed as the one in metal gear solid 3 on the ps2. Not very next gen.
Comment by DJ Funkster on 2007-07-30 10:34:35

You know, he’s got a point. Come on guys there’s no point in being fanboys on here and saying the shots look amazing when they don’t, there’s not gonna be any playstation owners on this site looking at the pics, so why big it up for nothing?

[tomfoolery]

refer to comment #10.

[i Shank u]

dude the jungle in MGS 3 had like 5 diff colors and was no way as detailed as that, come on people do PS3 fanboys get better weed or something? fricking seeing Sh!t no one else does . And, how are you gonna compare a last gen 3 year old game to this? crackhead?

[Imalwaysright]

Youre rigth that jungle sucks (dont care what you xbots think)Compare that jungle with the one in Drakes and open your eyes xbots

[Imalwaysright]

Youre rigth that jungle sucks (dont care what you xbots think)Compare that jungle with the one in Drakes and open your eyes xbots

[natsfan7]

Im not trying to say your wronge, but to me the jungles in H3 look much better (atleast from looking at your screen shot and the scans from this article).

[Nemesis]

You'd think that someone who thinks he is always right would at least go to the trouble of spelling his name correctly.

Anyway, I seen nothing in them screens you provided to suggest that Drakes jungle is technically superior to Halo 3's. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You obviously prefer the art direction of Drakes and that's fine, but don't go insulting the intelligence of those whose opinion differs from you own. Besides, how can you really tell how Halo 3's jungle looks from these grainy scans? Perhaps you have super human adaptive eyesight that is able to remove the graininess and enhance the images.

Also, isn't Drakes set entirely in a jungle environment? Halo 3 on the other hand encompasses many different environments. That's surely going to limit the amount of time that artists can actually invest in any one style.

[Bloodmask]

I bet Halo 3 will be the number 1 console game for sales this Holiday season just based on all the preorders.

The only other game that might take the crown is GTA4 IMO. With it being multiplatform.

[i Shank u]

crazy how Halo 3 has already 5 mill sold on the first day it comes out. haha, on Sept. 26th the game will be out 1 hour and be the top selling game all year. GtaIV should beat it in sales but i dunno if that can happen this holiday season.

how many copies of halo will be sold after all the prorders are filled i wonder? maybe after every fan gets it sales will just drop off a cliff? nahhhh

[SuperSaiyan4]

Cheese on toast? ;-)

[Like a shadow I am]

Where are the COLORS? Is Halo 3 becoming like Killzone 2??

[Moac]

Sony better take cover when this BEAST of a game gets out!!! This will be the game of the Year for sure, and be the most played console game for years to come!!

I think that Halo2 is the most played online Console game of all times, correct me if i am wrong!

Also i don't think any other game of any console out to date has such a franchise that is still played after so many years after its release.

off topic: when is AssasinCreed comming out?

[deepio]

Fack all the negative comments, you don't like it, don't buy it!

Like millions of others out there, I'm psyched...Halo 3...bring it on!

[THAMMER1]

I see that the graphics just mite out do Mass Effect after all. I think the negative comments come from people who know the truth about video games consoles but do not want to share it. The 360 does not need a HD disc format to put out better graphics than the PS3 plain and simple.

How can people say some thing looks good but not so good if they have been playing ps1,and PS2 is all they have ever played? It is completely obvious that these people have no clue at all.

A great games machine does not have to have great graphics to be popular or fun. But if a games machine does have great graphic and is also fun with a great line up of games people will hate it because it is not Sony. Reminds me of the old south.

[Elginer]

as I've said, disk space has nothing to do with what the system can output. I hear so much whining about OMG a game is on 2-3 disk! What will I ever do?! Oh I don't know get off you're @ss and change it, we did it with the huge 4 disk FF games. HALO 3 graphically looks amazing, anyone who wants to deny that is just jaded. While it's no GOW, GOW was a different style altogether. H3 has lots of sharp textures and the amount of detail on things like faces on brutes, armor and weapons is staggering. I hope all gamers can appreciate it for what it is, not what it is not. It's also trying to change things up a lot. For instance I even see what looks like even an option to play the game via a RE4 camera view. While some people may not like it, others will. Looks very nice and tons of things going on at the same time.
HALO 3 will be a fun shooter for shooter fans that want a good story, fantastic music and a colorful inviting game.

[shysun]

Looks pretty good,for scans.

[SuperSaiyan4]

It will out do Mass Effect, that game comes out in November allowing more development time and its looking better and better and it uses the Unreal 3 Engine.

I just want the 2 games to be the 2 different experiences that they are with visuals that are still eye candy along with awesome gameplay.

Last thing we want is 2 top 360 exclusive games going head to head on a heated visual war thats not I want I want the 2 games to be the best in their own right.

Oh and last time I checked there were 7million HALO pre-orders WORLD WIDE I bet it hits around 9million (hope its more) on launch along with tons more 360's sold.

This year is going to be one hell of a heavenly ride for 360 gamers.

EDIT: For the other guy Assasins Creed comes out in around November this year.

[codeazrael]

Are there really over 7 million preorders for HALO 3? OMG, if that is true, and considering most sales don't come from the preorder IMO, Halo 3 is shaping up to be the best selling game of all time. I never thought I would have problems being able to finish so many already great games in order to make room for a lot more great games. Even if there is ever a slow period, you will always have a great game that you need to finish, WoW!

[tplarkin7]

Halo 2 had 2.5 million preorders. I've only heard that Halo 3 has 4 million preorders. If that's true, it would sell as many copies as Gears in a single day. I don't think there are 7 million preorders.

[FeralPhoenix]

Obviously scans are never the best representation of what a game truly looks like but Halo3 looks great either way.

Its a shame some people like "WaggleLOL" just seem so intimidated by Halo3, you can almost smell the fear on the haters breath with every envious comment......sometimes its kind of sad sort of like listening to a small child with tears in his eyes, as he stutters in an unconvincing, half-hearted attempt to explain why he wet the bed again.
-You know its just one of those moments where you just got to give the lil guy a hug and say;
"Its alright little buddy, its OK calm down, of course I still love ya, but if you want to be a big boy you have to learn how to use the potty."

-Don't worry Waggle when you get your copy of Halo3, just remember it takes time, eventually you'll get the hang of it.

[s1lv3rw0lf]

but the quaility of the game play and if it flows good is the most important to any game.

Graphics for Halo 3 are up there with GoW to the looks of it, or maybe better. Magazines tend to take the quality out of images a bit. If you want to see them better, go to Bungie.net...they have some screenshots there.

The most important thing I'm looking forward to is what I said in the first sentence, and if I play it more than 50, 70, 100 times, then I know I love it.

[Funky Town_TX]

I don't think so, but it looks good. They kinda have a different art approach. I think GOW is the best looking console game out so far.

[DARK WITNESS]

ya right....

My eyes are right open, it only looks just as good as any of the other FPS games due out, oh say Haze, Turok, Black site....blah...blah...if not better.

what i don't understand is why the Sony fans care...oh your games look soooooo much better, ya ok.

question; knowing how much us halo fans love our halo, do you really think that saying the graphics are SH*% is going to make us sell our 360's to go buy a ps3 for KZ2 ?

well, why are you wasting your time trying ? surly you have better things to do, like Scroll through your XMB, or ....wait for your next up date.

[otherZinc]

is going to kill every game ever made, period.

[Funky Town_TX]

I have GTA4, COD4, and BIOSHOCK preordered, but I just may not want to play them. This does look good. I remember when Halo2 dropped I did not want to play any other game for at least 2 months. Sept will be good for Halo fans.

[Says you]

Even stop Sony you would have to be extremely retarded to believe that considering not even one game like Halo 3 can stop Sony and as I recall since theres more exclusives to the PS3 like I said there was 106 but now there is like 107 since RockStar has committed to make a new exclusive game for Sony and by the way SuperSaiyan4 I doubt that there was 7 million preorders knowing how you XBox 360 fans exaggerate when it comes to Halo 3.

[P4KY B]

Yes i was joking.

But as I see now that I have 9 disagrees that too many people on this site lack a sense of humour.

[Odion]

ooo lets get afraid cause Rockstar like Texas is going to make a PS3 game, its going to be a smash hit like... manhunt, bully or Midnight racing.

[omansteveo]

Or it could be State of Emergency all over again R* is good but not all of their games are great the only thing they really excells at is Sandbox games which im getting tired of GTA,Bully are both sandbox and while i like GTA...Bully was GTA in school and no cars IMO i need more than just go talk to this guy to get your misson and go back to him for collect money when your doet type thing its gettin old and is so over done

[teh_tourist]

because that doesn't look like fun to me at all
i didn't like the first two halo games
and this looks like the same game with a new HUD
the graphics still just look like a upgraded halo 2

[Funky Town_TX]

don't read about it or buy it.

[Xeoset]

Halo 3 FTMFW!

Holy hell, it looks beautiful and has come leaps and bounds since the BETA.

I so damn want this.

[ouengineer]

While the Halo III graphics are shaping up nicely, it is evident the reason why the Halo series has had such success is because the whole package offered to gamers.

The gameplay: melee combat, choices of weapons, sticky grenades, dual wielding, vehicles, air combat, transport devices. It's a nice variety.

The maps: there are many maps designed to please the different gamers. The layout is well designed. You never get bored because there is plenty of maps to choose from.

Customized multiplayer options: The options here gives the gamers a way to fine tune a game just the way he/she likes it. It changes the game up even more.

I have played games since pong (before Atari) and have watched the evolution of gaming over the past 30 years. I have 2 ps2's right now. My boys have the Wii. I have my 360. I first started playing Halo when I got my 360 because everyone kept telling me I was missing out. I was a big Socom fan and played all the Tom Clancy series.
Turns out Halo's fun factor just exceeds these other games. It's not just graphics, it's the whole package.

I think Bungie has designed a series that is fun and offers the best replay value with many options for gameplay. This is my personal opinion of the series and evidently there are millions of others who feel the same way.

If a developer designs a game that offers the whole package, then that game will be successful. It doesn't matter which systems it is on. If it's a great game then the numbers will reflect it.

Just offering my opinion.

[Nemesis]

You would think all PS3 fanboys care about are graphics. They better hope that PS3 developers don't get the same idea, or there's going to be a lot of crap games released this generation.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Why can't they just show a good solid portion of real time gameplay of the single player? Haven't seen that yet. They just show short bits mixed with cutscene and screen shots.

On screen shots, Lair looks better than Halo 3.

[Boink]

but I'd like to see some actual single player video footage to backup these "in game footage" shots...

[PS360PCROCKS]

agreed.

[devi8i]

Being a supporter of the Big 3 and trying not to act like a fanboy, I want to add that these still shots scanned from a mag will never give the best impression of the game. Any game for that matter. No one plays games to look at still images. The game is a sum of all its parts: graphics, AI, level design, story, and controls. trying to compare a jungle screen-shot from one game to another is absurd. Compare the final game experience. Although all three new consoles have hardware and performance advantages over their previous iterations, developers are trying to push more and more grander experiences for the consumer. Improved graphics, better AI, more polygons and characters on screen, larger environments etc, while running at very fast frame rates. In order to do this often times compromises are made that do not affect the overall game play. Would you rather have more variations in the jungle colors or do you want larger maps? Do you want more detailed characters with more polygons or do you more on-screen enemies? Honestly, most people are too concerned with trying not to get shot then they are at looking at all the pretty colors. Halo 3 looks good, period. Bungie has always listened to their customers and worked to deliver better products.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Damn this looks so much better now...if these are truly in-game un-doctered images than awesome...I am still a little skeptical as I know their are going to be alot of things going on, on the screen. But we'll see...only 2 months. Oh and Bungie always said that graphics were the last couple months of deving for them...so this is why we might be seeing this improvement now. maybe gets even a little better?

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

just show some real time F*cken gameplay already.

[PS360PCROCKS]

They will I am pretty sure. Problem is they're trying to keep the story intact without any leaks. Believe it or not this is like a movie trilogy to some people, they are really into the story.

[codeazrael]

You know, having a pc version of this to release maybe 6 months to a year after the console release would also have a killer preorder list.

[Odion]

plus have you guys heard what forge is?

its not a map editor but for people who have Half Life 2 your going to get excited.

Forge= Halo 3 version of GARY'S MOD!

[CrazzyMan]

shouldn`t they already show some Halo3 gameplay footage? =)

just wanna see all potential of x360 after almost 2 years developing... =]

EDIT:
i am speaking about atleast 3-5 min. of gameplay, not several gameplay scenes. =)
like bioshock or ut3, or even assassins creed with uncharted(games coming later then halo3) - we saw some developers walkthrough and nothing on Halo3.

[omansteveo]

ummm They have have you seen the E3 2007 trailer its all gameplay

[MoonDust]

They started working on H3 while working on H2.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Your so one-sided sometimes I don't know whether or not to take "just wanna see all potential of x360 after almost 2 years developing... =]" as you truly want to see this game or just trying to knock on the 360 because we all know that Halo isn't the most graphically enticing game. Anyways they won't be showing much gameplay they want to secure the story. If they show something it will ruin the story for some people. Plus they like the shock and awe factor by making you wait. I am sure they will release something soon, if not you won't see anything til review time.

[Eagle Eye]

Halo 3 is looking better each time I see it. The environments are also looking good.

[gamermoney1985]

the 3rd pic
looks like a pic of game play

[zonetrooper5]

Damn I can't wait for this game, it looks more gritter than the last Halo's as well. The hype is only just beginning? (sp?) and I need to preorder the legendary edition from play.com, come on now, tell me when I can preorder. :(

[original seed]

Im also glad that all people here are keeping this Post clean (except one fanboy). We can all agree that it looks good for it being scanned. Its only two months away. I can already see all Halo Fanboys getting in line.

[datoejama]

These scans look good but its always hard to see the level of texture quality from scans. Enough of the leaked photos already! Bungie please give us some real gameplay trailers soon, and not just save film trailers. I mean real First Person gameplay.

[MetalProxy]

I was hoping for some game play footage...there are alot of games out there showing off there stuff. the game Im sure will be great (it has to be). And how about showing us his face this time. I would laugh so hard if he looked like peter moore!

[larry007]

the chars look like POWERPUFF gals in green suits.

what a craptastic and cartoonistic game???

[larry007]

HALO 3 looks like a mere cartoon game.

here is teh gameplay footage

http://www.gametrailers.com...

looks nothing than mere cartoon

[Daz]

maybe it is to you but at least its not dark and grittly like most fps for once and it plays good and it dont look like a cartoon if you played the beta. Just another troll trashing the site.

[Rhezin]

LARRY you sir are f!cking stupid and your gonna be proven stupid when this game FINALLY comes out so shut ur f!cking mouth sir. kthxbie.

[VirusE]

larry007 is nasim with a new name. 100% same MO

[nasim]

dont even compare your ga***lo cartoon crap with KZ2.

KZ2 looks much better than any of ur cartoon x360 games.

This is the gameplay footage of GLO3
http://www.gametrailers.com...

which looks much inferior to the gameplay footages of HS,LAIR ,KZ 2 and other mega ps3 titles.

here is KZ 2 vs CRYSIS
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

KZ2 kills Crysis.

dont even bring HALO 3 with powerranger g***

You just killed your two last remaining braincells.
LOL! GLO? Did you come up with that all on your own? No, your are not that smart. Your IQ must be atleast 50 to come up with that.

This is a Halo thread. No one is talking about KZ. Well, only you and other fanboys who feel threaten by a game, don't worry it's not going to destroy your PS3 if that's what your fear is. It's just a game

[Al]

cares about Killzone? This thred is talking about Halo 3 and how awsome the game LOOKS. You wanna talk Killzone there's a thred running right now that you can post on.

Did i even say killzone? hmm he is brain dead just come out with things that i didnt even say lol. His a little cunt who needs to get out of his bedroom aleast.

[Raptors]

lol @ nasim. I swear this guy rubs his c*ck on his ps3. What a loser....

[snoop_dizzle]

i always find it funny when people get so worked up over a game.

I mean not excitement, but sheer hate.

Excitement is good but man some of you really hate on stuff.

Disagreeing or disliking a game is good but man don't you have anything better to do?

It seems that many people that hate alot basically go under this mentality of im cooler than you because i like a different(better and possibly rightfully so), and ironically these are probably the least cool people you would meet. Usually the people who have the most sexually repressed anger in them and probably the social outcasts(and i have feeling many are considering you're maturity level and social skills).

I frankly have no problem with social outcasts because hey, i was somewhat like that at one time and there are some really good people out there like that, but hey if some of you hate so much you really need help.
_____________________________ ______________________________ _ ___________

Anyways it looks like it has improved pretty well though i would like to see some gameplay to get a better taste. I haven't really been a fan of screenshots.

Could this game have really good graphics?

Possibly(don't throw specs at me, with big numbers over a million you can make anything sound good, it needs to be testable, and that goes for any console or any game)

Don't expect any fanboy against halo(or any game, killzone 2 drakes forune etc?) to give it the time of day, even if it is good, minus a few exceptions gamewise.

Basiaclly my point is don't hate on others for what they play.
Whatever console you have, enjoy it. And hey if youre lucky you might have all of them or two of them.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Man you nailed that one. I only wish people would actually take what you said to heart. Sadly I think the people that need to hear it the most are the ones that can't seem to comprehend what you wrote.

[The Dude]

In the first 24 hours Microsoft will sell more copies of Halo 3 than the entire ps3 console install base. If I was microsoft that would be my press release.

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol that was pretty funny...and I added to both numbers :) ps3 and halo. haha though wow that was a good one. Could you imagine? "We're glad to announce that in the first 24 hours of release of Halo 3 we sold more copies than the entire install base of the Playstation 3 times 2" lol

[DaEnforcer]

This game proves 360 gamers are all fankids. How is it that they all freak out about some powerranger mumbo jumbo? Haha

[MoonDust]

about a black and white movie.

See, i can do it too.

[DaEnforcer]

Powerranger mumbojumbo go home

[MoonDust]

That thing there is called "Green" and it's a color. Try saying green. After that we can move on to blue and purple, don't try saying that one just yet might hurt your eyes.

[DaEnforcer]

Colors ain't the problem. This game is just for fankids. Powerranger mumbojumbo go home

[MoonDust]

Spoiled little girl is just mad he can't have it.

[GMR_PR]

Thats a funny statement specially coming from a person that acts like a little kid.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Your kidding right? You knew he was talking about Killzone and he says it has no color so you post a picture of a multi-platform UT game? lol you're ridiculous.

I enjoyed the hell out of the first Halo and only for the single player mission. I'm in for Halo 3 regardless of the graphics quality but it does seem they have stepped up the graphics quality quite a bit. I don't know what it was, exactly, about the first Halo, but I absolutely loved the game. I am not a first person shooter fan -- especially of the "open-world-design". I guess I loved Halo and Gears so much because I do prefer the more "on-rails" type layout that lasts 15-20 hours. I want to enjoy the story and finish the game without wondering how many areas I missed out on. Anyone who mocks the Halo series clearly hasn't played it because it is worthy of all of its praises.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

It's funny I used to be a big PS2 person. Had it, loved it...played all the Tekkens and Maddens. I loved the concept of a first person shooter but they all played like garbage up to that point on the PS2. Everything I tried just felt wonky and like it was designed for a PC and thrown on the console. Platformers, Sports and Racing games and RPG's ...thats all a console could do...

Then Xbox and Halo came out. The underground hype around that game continued to build. I saw screenshots but honestly was still skeptical. Then I got a chance to play it...the story mode mind you. At first it was akward control as it was a different feel than the old PS2 controller. After about 2 min I was hooked...game play and interaction with the enemies screamin things, etc....the game just changed the face of gaming for me. Halo was that revolitionary step ....a FPS that actually worked on a console and it worked well! I bought an xbox that day...never looked back.

Many complained about H2, me...I enjoyed it too. Cliff hangers suck...but for whatever reason I was ok with it. Why? Cause I knew a 3rd would come...and I would get it.

People get excited over Halo because its great gameplay and the story is great too. Graphically...this game will be great....you will see. I cannot wait to finish the fight.

[Schmitty07]

I'm going to play this non-stop, especially if there is online co-op.

[DaEnforcer]

I'm not into Powerrangers mumbojumbo like you fankids ;) Besides the great PS3 games I'll have this haha

LOL you are just too funny buddy, you can't remember their competition? Well maybe that's because you had just crap games on your system and Powerrangers were the sh1t overthere haha too bad Powerrangers tried to mess up with the big boys on PC and ended up with 7's and 8's haha there you go buddy

[MoonDust]

PowerRangers>Can't remember their competition. Oppz they never had none.
You love powerrangers. You are one in fact.

[tonsoffun]

This is looking fantastic - kudos to Bungie for really giving us a treat.

The beta was pretty good, but the single player is looking great too.

I certainly can't wait for this game, I am even thinking of picking up the legendary edition.......

[BIadestarX]

Oo... This game is turning into a Sony fanboy's worst nightmare.... They hoped that this game sucked so bad in terms of graphics and gameplay... and we starting to see.. that's not going to happen... with new vehicles like the Elephant... hehe... it will take more than pretty graphics with no new gameplay to be a halo killer... Halo 3 is in the zone. ;|

[Odion]

yo add in that 1up has finally said that Forge is a bungie gary's mod!!

Bam! Halo 3 will never end!

[rareairtone]

that foliage looks almost like haze or better i wonder if touching it moves it (probably not)

[btkadams]

dear halo:

please die. im so sick of hearing about you. the 360 (and original xbox) has/had better games than you. make waaaay for other games.

omg please dont take my bubbles lol, i just wanna hear more about other games too. (PS: i am buying halo 3 when it comes out)

[power of Green]

For being fed up with Halo you sure care enough to come in here and comment.

I was thinking Halo3 has been underground and hasn't really been mentioned at all ontop of its weak E3 pressence. I think Lair, Heavenly Sword, KillZone are better examples of what you're getting at.

Bungie has leaked the interactive enviroments(foliage) ages ago. These mag scans from this thread are slightly dull and lack the vibrance you might see on a HDTV here are pics that one might see seeing it on a Display vs the faded mag scans

http://media.xbox360.ign.co... The fist new pic looked like gameplay but people were confused on how; now i know how we were getting all these none First person views of Cheif(pic above sheds some light).

I'm too lazy to look for the announcment from the Bungie site.

Here's A Quote: Outdoors environments will usually have a draw distance of up and around 16km (10 miles), all with added particles to simulate pollution, weather, smoke and other "normal" atmospheric occurrences. Bungie calls this a subtle effect, but says that in a vast landscape it adds spectacular depth of realism to a scene.

The last, and possibly most interesting interesting, piece of information about the environments is that they are alive. And more then just trees live in these jungles and rivers, fish and birds. Much like the dogfights out in the distance, there will also be birds in flocking patterns flying around in the distances. These birds are also detailed, if you are lucky or skillfull enough to shoot down one of these birds then you will be able to walk over to them and look at them, and just like the mountains in the distance, the birds are detailed. Then there are the fish, who will be swimming through the streams, rivers, and lakes of Halo 3. They also can be shot and killed. If they are killed then they will bleed, turn the water red, turn belly up, and float away. http://www.gamespot.com/pag...

Here's another Quote:

Much of the atmosphere, like the foliage and other kinds will have physics enabled and will therefore react to player's presence, bullet shots and throw real time shadows and effects. Other atmospheric effects, like dust, water and wind will be physics enabled. Simply put, nothing in the game will be mere eye candy. Everything will be a moving and working effect in the game.The final game may also see seagulls, cocatoos and other fauna. http://www.buzzle.com/artic...

The average gamer probably has no idea the resources put into this title(myself included).
