New HALO 3 Screenies!!!

not again....

errr...

triple yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
 
I remember a thread like this :O

Me and samon got into a heated debate but than we all had a pizza party...well actually that didn't happen, and it doesn't look like this is going to end in a pizza party D:

Anyways, Im excited. I seriously doubt thats what the graphics are going to look like, and like others have said its only in the Alpha stage, and some of you people need to seriously stfu :| Halo isn't the greatest game ever, but its a damn fun game.

Bullshit, I loved Half-Life 2's gameplay, revolutionary thing's like the gravity gun where you can manipulate physic's. Then there was the puzzles which I enjoyed & that required people to use their head, Chracter interaction is a plus; I was quite content with Hl2's gameplay.

Let me quote you again to make sure you get it.

Pish posh, Halo's combat was amazingly repetitive.

The guns lacked a good feel and the AI was terribly easy to defeat. Halo had really fun vehicles and tougher AI. Gameplay varied a little more in HL2 but I still don't think it was the better game. The gravity gun got old after like 10 min to me. The "puzzles" took the brain of a 8 year old to figure out. Character interactions were few and far in between. I also FELT the love when I was shoved out of the way whenever somebody needed to move past me.

It reminds me of the original, which is a great thing. I saw the AR so I'm hoping they bring back some of the other weapons.

I think what Halo had for me was very solid combat and movement, in comparison to most of the console shooters of the time. The huge enviroments were also dynamite; I remember exploring all the platforms, crevices and whatnot, and thinking how amazingly scaled everything was. The multiplayer and co-op helped it immensely though. Certainly wouldn't have seen the same success without them.

I'm thinking the same way. These new screens feel more like the Halo I enjoyed instead of the incoherrent mess that was Halo 2. You can look at these new screens of the levels and instantly say "that's Halo" whereas if you tried to do the same with Halo 2 level screenshots you'd think it's just another generic shooter. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes by changing the colors to the grey and blue of Halo 1 from the yellow and brown of Halo 2. This is why good level design is crucial.

These new screens, despite not being graphically impressive, have me feeling a little more optimistic about Halo 3 than before. :D

I want to be optimistic but unless they pull a 180 and bring the MP game back to the skill-based style of play they had in Halo 1 and take away the auto-aim - the terrible hitboxes, the melee attack lunges (not just the sword - every melee attack has a lunge to it).

If they bring back the skill I'll be beyond happy.

So how about those marginally improved graphics?

*shrugs*

I couldn't care less about them.

BTW, has there been any word on the X-button function that will allegedly "Change the way the game is played" ?

My guess is it's a cover system like in GOW.

I was absolutely terrible at Halo 1 multiplayer. Granted I would only be playing against 2-4 people max, but still wound up getting destroyed. I'm even worse at Halo 2, because the buddies I played against in Halo 1 can kill me even easier than before. This is probably my main reason I never got XBOX Live...I'm just so horrid at the multiplayer. :p

:LOL:

It's too early to properly judge them. You can really only focus on the design choices at this point, not the look overall. The cosmetics will come later...
 
The graphics look great to me. I don't care if people consider them 'last-gen' or whatever; I'm not one to care that much about what the console can do graphically, I care about the amount of cool new games that are coming out for it, them having some nice eye-candy with the new-gen system is just a nice bonus.

HL2 has far more depth in terms of gameplay than Halo.

Agreed.

POST OF THE DAY? GUESS I'M AWESOME.



Yeah, and were not going to make this another HL2/Halo thread, so we'll end that here and keep chatting about these dire screenshots.
 
God, I really can't believe these ALPHA BUILD graphics aren't even that great!

:|

I hope the MP gets rebalanced, it sounds like it will be.
 
Samon said:
Quoted for truth - there's nothing special about those screeshots. I'm hoping we'll see actual depth to the gameplay this time around as well, but looking at Halo 2, my hopes certainly aren't high.
Click to expand...

Going to agree as well. After playing Gears of War and the exp i had with that game. Doesn't look at all impressive. Well see when it comes out.
 
I really hope those screenshots are not the graphics in the final game...I don't think they will be, but Bungie rushes their games out so fast, that you could actually be seeing near final graphics...I'm not impressed yet. Bungie will have to make Halo 3 amazing to change my mind....and a lot of other people's minds. If this becomes another Halo 2 mockery...except for the multplayer, which is the best of any XBOX game to date, Bungie should only do multiplayer Halo games, that's what there good at, not this rushed singleplayer, bad textures and flawed physics that Halo 2 had...Halo 1 was good...because they focused entirely on singleplayer and little on the multiplayer aspect. I smell a repeat of Halo 2 coming our way!! :flame:

andy warhol for all weirdness was quite a brilliant artist ..he's done more for modern culture than most ...can you say the same Uriel?

I wasn't bagging on Warhol, I was just stating both his art and Halo are very colorful.
 
HL1 > Halo 1 > HL2 > Halo 2

Heres to hoping that Halo 3 falls at least somewhere in the middle. But I must admit that these screens are kinda worrying me, alpha or not. Then on top of it all playing games like GoW and seeing the potential in games like Mass Effect leaves me in a questionable state, as to what the next great series really is gonna be. But no worries one of the best things about being a gamer both console/pc is that with every dying series/game there always arises something better! (Not saying HL/Halo series is dying by any means.)
 
I can see that bungee has not taken advantage of the Xbox 360's capabilities, what a complete waste of time. Do not feed into microsoft corporate triad.

Alpha build.

:|

I hope this is the last time I have to repeat that.
 
Hey stigmata that looks like a beta build to me. omgwtfpwned.!!!!!!!!@$#

Some of the shots look ok, the covenant ship from the inside looks nice. Now I just need to 1. Play Halo 2 and 2. Wait for 3 years when Halo 3 makes it to PC.
 
Bungee is quick to release their games, so you will not see many improvements to halo3. I also thought before I saw these screen shots, I was expecting for Halo 3 to surpass Episode 1 & Episode 2, I was wrong about that...dead wrong.
 
I went through TWENTY screenshots trying to find something impressive.
My search came back empty. :(

Looks bad.

Quoted for great justice, the screen shots look like shit to me. :p

Even for an alpha build, they still look like crap; BF2 looked awesomely superb even in it's alpha state.

<WARNING>*The excuse that halo 3 is in alpha state does not compute*
 
Alright, but thats not the point. The reason why we keep repeating that it is an Alpha build is because thats not what the final product is going to look like :| You seem to have a very hard time understanding that.
 
You must not get the point where they say, "THE PICS LOOK LIKE SHIT."
