New HALO 3 Screenies!!!

[ailevation]

Dude, get it in your head. THE PICS NOW LOOK LIKE CRAP. NOBODY SAID THESE CURRENT PICS ARE GOING TO DICTATE WHAT THE FINAL BUILD LOOKS LIKE.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Actually thats what you've been implying :| Well maybe not you, but certainly Kamikaze.

Enough is enough, I could name many game's where the game itself looks amazing even in their alpha-beta stages of development; Like said BF2 & HL2 for example.

My nick ends with a i not and e; If thats a problem you could always called me kami.

 

[ailevation]

I certainly didn't imply that at all. Kamikaze is going to have to confirm whether he implied Halo 3's outcome will look shitty though.

You must not get the point where they say, "THE PICS LOOK LIKE SHIT."

Looks like Halo 2 with updated graphics

I'll still buy it, even though there's a large chance it'll be the same shit over again

Are they f*cking serious!?

Looks like Halo 2. They've had all this time to work with the X360 hardware and this is all they can come up with? World textures look low-res and shitty.

My thoughts exactly. These are woefully underwhelming. Looks like an upgrade from Halo 2 rather than a proper sequel (much like Halo 2 was to the first game).

I trust we'll see better further down the pipeline, but those screenshots are disconcerting. Hopefully the gameplay won't be another ****ing rehash again.

The graphics atm look like shiney halo two graphics. PLUS there is ANOTHER remake of Blood Gulch (*sigh*)

But there is something I notice... is that the return of the original assualt rifle?! I think it may be! Now they have to de-nerf the pistol and return it to its state of pwnage for me to be happy with it.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two will look incredibly so much better than Halo 3, especially with the delay.

Well... i mean yeah it looks pretty... but it just looks halo 2 level. Which is pretty... but doesn't really look any different.

Looks... er... pretty bad.

So how about those marginally improved graphics?

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.

Looks bad.

Looks like a combination of ass and fail.

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

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*

Also Kamikaze your cleary not reading my post so until you do "stfu"

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Just did, read my previous post. ^_^

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

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 did not read that. You seem to be incapable of comprehending it. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. Thats it. Its over. Get out of the god damn halo thread if all your gonna do is post about your hate for the game.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Also Kamikaze your cleary not reading my post so until you do "stfu"

Again, I say Halo 3 compared to most game's I know even in their alpha stage still look hella lot better compared to h3's gfx in it's alpha stage. BF2 ding ding ding.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

You're still not reading it. Seriously just stfu :|

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

I'm pretty sure Daikatana looked like it was going to be great during its first Alpha build.

:|

You DO realize that an alpha-state build generally isn't created to test graphical prowess, right?

[edit] As civilized as I want this to be: In before the ban.

[edit2] And just for the record, anecdotal evidence ftl. You can name one game that looked better than Halo 3 in its alpha state. Great. One game out of thousands.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

I dont even know what thats supposed to mean, but I always assume when someone just starts insulting you or posting stupid pictures in an arguement hes lost :|

Anyway, Halo 3 is gonna be awesome.

 

[Stigmata]

Anyway, Halo 3 is gonna be awesome.

I'm sure the beta will iron out most of the multiplayer balance issues. And Jones/Griesemer/Bungie have clearly learned from their mistakes.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Yeah, I can't wait for the beta. >_>

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Halo 3 is just going to be another halo 2, nothing more needs to be said. The end.

*Cough* lackluster level design & repetitive gameplay*cough*

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Yeah nice comeback you're totally right, I mean I didn't think you were right before, but that sentance right there really changed my mind, I love how it was based on nothing but your fanboyism and hate for Halo.

gtfo.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Damn, I was hoping for a bit of healthy debate, but looks like the prophets have already spoken.

And again, there's a reason why Bungie is having this multiplayer beta. It's so they can fine-tune the gameplay, balance the weapons and vehicles, create better maps, and polish up everything gameplay-related before the actual release, so we specifically don't have to go through another Combat Patch 1.1 fiasco.

Badhat: A few of us are trying. There remains stalwart opposition to constructive debate, but they will be defeated!

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

I wanna try the man cannon D:

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Beta tests....the game doesn't need fine tuning. It needs a lobotomy.

The obese 13 year old boy demographic is the driving force behind this gaming poo.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

...no u.


I guess there going to save the elusive x-button feature for the beta....I bet it actually spawns carrots..what these carrots do is the real secret :O

Entirely unnecessary.

The Mancannon still sounds like a trebuchet to me D:

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

A trebuchet of awesome. Although I think any map that has it, no actual battles will take place during the beta. People will be too busy using the man cannon.

 

[99.vikram]

I'm too lazy to rephrase what I already posted in another thread, so -

My sig explains all. Worship it.

@Bungie -
"Show a dozen sexy cutscenes featuring uber-1337 ships moving towards the Ark. Allow the gamer to walk around there for a while! Add some orchestral music. That way we can make a CGI movie and pass it off for a game!

"Gameplay? Oh, do the usual Pete. Copy the levels from Halo: CE and retexture 'em. Maybe we'd better retexture the vehicles too.

"And never forget our design philosophy - If It's Not Shiny, It Suxx0rs."

I have not had a combat experience as intense as Anticitizen One in any game, ever.
Perhaps GoW comes close, but that's an entirely different style of gameplay.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Wow....

 

[Zephos]

Bullshit.

Agreed.

You can make any game sound horrible if you put it like that.

@Valve-
"LOL THE WHOLE GAME WILL BE YOU SHOOT THAN YOU SOLVE A PUZZLE YOU SHOOT THAN YOU SOLVE A PUZZLE AND SO ON. JUST ADD SOME ALIENS,SOME PHYSICZZZZ, AND WE HAVE OURSELVES A GAME GENTLEMEN!"

I never understand why anyone ever bothers posting halo threads here if all that happens is stupid posts like that :|

Anyone can make games sound so great as well... even if they haven't seen the final or played the final product.

 

[Stigmata]

How 'bout we all just agree that since the following facts are true:

- None of us have played Halo 3
- We all know that those screenshots are from an alpha build that's missing key graphical features and content

we shut the hell up about how good or bad the graphics and gameplay are going to be?

Maybe we can get back to rational speculation?

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

...okay? What are you trying to say? That you've played the final product? :|


So yeah what stigmata said (Although I think your post is in vain because you know someone is going to post something else)

Damn dude. Obviously you do not know/want to acknowledge the fact that YOU condition games that you like with this so called "Greatness" despite you have not played the game. WHILE pulling the, "BUT! YOU HAVENT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME YET! SO HOW COULD IT BE SHITTY?!"

 

[Qonfused]

Maybe we can get back to rational speculation?

On HL2? Never.

 

[Bad^Hat]

So basically this debate boils down to - both sides are wrong, but the other side is wronger?

Sometimes I love how members here like to think they know better than the government on policies and war and big issues like that, yet they can't even have a mature debate over a video game...

 

[Qonfused]

The Halo series sucks.

Close thread.

Im basing my opinion on the first 2 games. I enjoyed them. I dont think they were these super duper awesome games, but I enjoyed them. So when I think of Halo 3 I figure its going to be the same experience possibly better. You on the other hand just don't like the game, and you are judging it on nothing but the fact that you hate it :|

whatever. Im out :|

 

[AmishSlayer]

We should just make 1 thread called "Halo haters and fans: Duke it out"

That way we don't have to deal with every single Halo-related news/media/info thread getting derailed by rabid haters since there's already a place for them to vent.

Who said I hated the game first off?

So... even if I hated the first 2 halos I can't say the 3rd one will suck ass... from my experience?


Let me make myself clear for you. I came into this thread defending the people who say the ALPHA BUILD PICS LOOK LIKE SHIT. Nothing more. There seems to be 3 different types of people in this thread. The Halo fanboy, the Halo Hater, and the people who simply criticize the PICS POSTED FROM THE OPENING POSTER. Somehow, a heated debate was brought up how... "OMG! It's just an alpha build wait until the final build comes out" and "NO MAN HALO SUCKS HHEEHEHELELELE" these things elevated into some complex debate. So, this thread was supposed to be about the ALPHA BUILD PICS. Nothing more. It seems soo many misconceptions rooted off of some simple critique on some of the screenshots.

 

[Darkwolf]

I don't care about how it looks. I want to know about multiplayer weapon balancing and whatnot. They had also get rid of the noobified features they added into Halo 2.

You mean crap such as the autolocking rocket launcher, right?

Hey stigmata that looks like a beta build to me. omgwtfpwned.!!!!!!!!@$#

Idunno... looks more like a cappa build to me...

 

[Gargantou]

Reading this thread made me giggle like a japanese schoolgirl who's just learned what a boy and girl can do when they're alone.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Maybe we can get back to rational speculation?

Well it's been 10 posts since you said that and no one has done so, so I will (the trend wont continue with assclowns still going off topic but you cant say I didn't try).
I think the game will look LOADS better than the screenshots given, but gameplay is one thing that will be improved on from results from the beta online thing that they're going to implement. Overall the game is going to be the multiplayer + singleplayer enjoyment.
