Halo 3

I just watched that thing. Man, that bloomkamp guy has to make this movie. He has the perfect vision for it. In the meantime, I love what they're doing here. They were told "we're not making your movie" and they're just going ahead and shooting anyway. Who knows how much they're shooting or what this stuff is actually for (I dont' understand this "last man standing" thing. Is this just a portion of it? are they showing mini-Halo features on Discovery??) but I'm lining up.
 
I am so bad at Halo. All of my friends are obsessed with it.

They make fun of me because I once said, "battle rocket," mixing up battle rifle and rocket launcher.
 
I don't know, but the previous ones they have shot have just been popping up on the internet. With all the halo hype a lot of companies like mountain dew / discovery are promoting stuff relevant to it. Basically I think discovery is just using halo 3 to get attention on their 'last man standing' show.

As of right now, I only have gears of war, but seriously, there are some tight games coming out. mass effect, guitar hero 3, and the force unleashed are all going to be amazing too.
 
One of my friends got it early....so I've been watching him play it. Its pretty cool.....but the graphics aren't as good as I expected. Not a very big jump from halo 2.

You've got to be kidding me. What kind of TV and sound system does he have? I would have thought this would be an almost next generation leap in graphics and audio. The performance of the 360 crushes the original X-Box.

Man, I hope it's a hell of a lot better than 2, and not only graphically.


But they sure have been hyping the hell outta this game though. It's like Phantom Menace when it was getting ready to come out in theaters. Let's hope the outcome is far different with release.

He has a nice westinghouse 32" lcd tv. Westinghouse isnt the best...but I think it looks good.

I thought the lighting was alot better. Some textures were good....but alot of the metal had a plasticky look upclose. Overall I guess its enough to satisfy....but it wasnt the difference I was expecting.

From what I heard they built the game on the same engine they built halo 2 on....so the graphics could only get so much better.
 
I played the Beta they released on Live, and I don't know if the game engine will be different, but here is my take.

The graphics aren't immediately better. Looking at it on an HD display (57" 1080p), I wouldn't say, damn that looks good. Gears looks good, Halo looks like Halo. When you get up close to things they have a lot more texture then Halo 2. The guns are better detailed and the worlds are more detailed, but it isn't a huge jump. The play is smooth though. The engine seems to stay stable at a high FPS with lots of players and explosions going on on-screen, which I will take over resolution any day.
 
Yes.

Had time to play yet?

No.

Master Chief is sitting there, staring at me, begging me to play. :(
 
lol. ya hes staring at me, but im at work.

My limited edition in the steel box is so janky. Box is dented and not embossed, just a crooked halo 3 printed logo.

Both discs were loose inside and the extras disc is scratched to all hell. Pontiac ads and a mediocre art book in there also.

the loose and scratched discs are a rampid problem on the gfaq's board
 
I was able to play it a bit last night; online multiplayer will still be the best part of halo- and they stepped it up w/ H3... lots of fun.

Hit me up if anyone wants to party up- ID: nickmilo
 
I need a bast@rding 360 first. =/

The games awesome yet i'm extremely disapointed with the short films [live action] ones. I don't know why.. If it's the way it's set out. The detail. Quality perhaps. I'm just disapointed gravely by what i seen so far. I hope to hell it's not like that in the cinema upon release. =[
 
I played this afternoon with my friend who got it at midnight last night.

I am still terrible and I don't notice that much of a difference. It looked a little better, there was more detail, and some of the things were "cooler" than I remembered.

Not worth the hype, IMO.
