i just hope that its a good sequel

The more i see of H3 the more pissed i become because it looks just like a prettied up Halo 1-2

i have not one reason to belive this game will be any diffrent. i mean

EVERY STAGE LOOK LIKE THE ONLY TWO STAGES YOUVE PLAYED ON IN THE FIRST TWO GAMES


FPS on mountainous plains and FPS inside a futuristic building. Every stage in the past two halo games has been the same thing.

Does it ever snow in the halo universe hell has the sun ever gone down before JESUS!? where do people live in invisible huts? how come we have never fought through war ravaged megalopolis?

you guys should be as disappointed in Bungie as i am. they are serving us a remake of a popular franchise. and its disgusting. WOW BALL SHIELD THINGIE! THIS GAME IS GOING TO PWN HARD.

Please Bungie I'm going to buy this game regardless. Don't make me regret this.

Hey Rainbowblack, Bungie has never slapped together prettied-up versions of anything, with every new release we've seen better graphics, more advanced engines and better usage of them. I've never played a map that doesn't feel completly original and fun in it's own way, with secrets and easter eggs every where! but it is the a sequal, it does take place around futuristic buildings and mountainous plains and alot of other places, that's what makes it great. Don't pass judgment before you own you own copy of the game.

Oh and it never snows/rains because Halo is a constantly moving land mass, no percipitaion clouds in space.

@ RainbowBlack

Snow: Assault on the Control Room, Halo 1
Night: Truth and Reconciliation, Halo 1
War Ravaged Metropolis: New Mombasa, Halo 2

And yes, in most ways it is sort of a remake, with new features. That's what sequels are. Bungie found a winning formula, and they're continuing to use it. It's not laziness or greed, it's business.

@ WonderWoody

Look at a picture of Halo. Plenty of clouds. And the Earth moves quite a bit too, from what I've heard. My logic > your science.

@ secretly smuggled screenshots

I'll reserve my judgements for when I play the beta, which will serendipitously come to me along with my wonderful copy of Crackdown, which everyone should go download the demo for. Now. You should not be reading this, you should be downloading.

Am I the only person that notices that there's something blocked out in EVERY photo?

What the heck.

OH WOW! New screen shots of Halo 3. buig deal give me screen Shots of an actual NEW street fighter game running on the same engine as Guilty gear and then i'll get excited. OH how i long for a NEW SF game and not one that's just a buch of characters ripped from other games.

@ RainbowBlack (adding to MechaMonkey's comment)

Multiplayer

Snow
Sidewinder, Halo 1
Ice Fields, Halo 1
Lockout, Halo 2
Containment, Halo 2

Night
Gephyrophobia, Halo 1
Backwash, Halo 2

War Ravaged Metropolis
Headlong, Halo 2
Turf, Halo 2
Terminal, Halo 2

Where do people live? Nobody lives on a Halo. The only thing inhabiting Halo, that we know of so far, is the Flood and the Monitors and Sentinels. By the way there is no "ball shield" in the game. That was just from the CG teaser.

Ahhhh.... I want it now!



@Rainbowblack


Aside from the fact that about 4 different people have already proved you wrong, ITS A SEQUEL! What do expect Bungie to do, move the setting to the suburbs and turn it into a stealth game?

Its the future and its in space. That's Halo.
deal with it.

oh..about the graphics people..thats not the final verison of halo 3. Bungie has more to do on that before it comes out..Remember this is all Beta, so chill out.It will look nothing like Halo 1 or 2. So..calm down and wait till the final product before you talk shit on the ultimate Video game! K thanks!

Ha, yeah I agree. The hype will make the game great to people no matter what. Can't wait.

I'm pretty sure this is a really old build though. I think the final product will look very different.

I would probably love Halo 3 so much more if they could implement a weather system into some of the outdoor levels. As in, making it so the weather is random, time of day is random, and that you can choose that in the game options as well. Options for weather could include Clear, Cloudy, Rain, Snow, Fog, etc. Time of day could be Dawn/Dusk, Day, and Night. It'd also be pretty sw33t if the weather affected the gameplay. Traction on the vehicles would change, visibility would change, etc. What do you guys think?

Yea im going to have to go on the side of it looking more and more like a redone halo 2. Their really going to drop the bomb if its not not as, if not better then, gears of war. Time will tell

Nice reference to the movie Snatch.


"Before ze germans get here"

no pistol shots? *crys*

I hate how people say, "If you like Halo, you probably have never played a real FPS on PC." Shut up. Do you honestly think that we haven't played FPS games on PC? Is it really completely impossible that we find some things about Halo to be really excellent? You're not any more hardcore if you prefer mouse and keyboard, or twitch shooters, or stealth based shooters, or WHATEVER. Stop acting like it.

gamehunter101

Wrong i played them both and still say they suck (no offense to anyone who may like the game)

gamehunter.. couple corrections:

"the people who say 'halo sucks' suck at it, couldn't beat it, haven't tried xbl, haven't played at lans &/or ONLY played halo 2 and didn't get to see the amazingness of halo 1 before it turned to SHIT (aka halo 2)"

thank you :)

@My repliers

Variety in MP maps are fine, but as for the game itself, its still grassy plains and futuristic building. and i swear if Bungie still thinks im going to be content with that they have another thing coming

sure new game engine are nice and so are new graphics. but that does not make halo a different game in the end. all im asking for is something a lil different. cause its simply a HD version of the first two games. the sony-fed halo haters are going to have a field day with this. I know bungie feels they need to ramp things up for the big finale. But geez throw us a bone. don't lead me to believe this is just a regurgitated version of the first two games, because from screenshots. all i see is fantastic remake of halo. and thats not what we want.

I certainly DID kick their asses. Especially when I had the shotgun.... *smiles in delight*

I didnt think it was hard to make the transition from any dual analog control shooter to playing Halo....in fact, the controls made it really easy to make that transition, since they were so responsive.

Now...I'm not claiming to be able to beat anyone who is actually good at Halo... my friends just really sucked
.

. and therefore had no balls :P

RESARF

"I really don't get the whole Halo thing. I have owned and played both extensively both one and multi player. It's just another generic FPS and quite a dull one at that. It boasts expansive areas with very little in them and even less to do. It's slow paced and very weapon centric (IE the person with the biggest gun will usually end up the winner). It's just an FPS people, it doesn't even try to bring anything new to the genre. As an action game it has nothing on Unreal etc. and it involves next to no strategy.

I mean, compare it to Duke Nukem 3D. Look how fun and innovative that was/is compared to Halo and it was out over a decade beforehand. Halo chooses slick production and shiny graphics over fun, innovation and varied gameplay - basically everything that makes a game great."

I agree with everything you said and don't quite get how Halo is so awesome. Halo 2 was ever so similar to Halo 1 with nothing added to gameplay, OMG new levels and 2 guns @ once.
I have Halo 2 and only play multiplayer, at buddies houses once in a while I played single player a bit but not even 25% through. Halo one delivered what Halo 2 did and I had enough single player with Halo 1.

I think they need to add some super sweet stuff to make this game worth while as new maps, shiny graphics, and a quad wont cut it for a demanding sequal.

The Holocaust was huge too Summa, did that make it right?
