Halo 3 info leaked: new weapons, vehicles, features and Collector's Ed Options

[BasicAir]

you're right in saying that halo is great... but terribly wrong in saying that the only reason it's number one is because people are mistaken. people know its going to be a rts and all seasoned rts vets or even rts n00bs know for a fact rts's can't have amazing graphical power in contrast to other games because of so many sprites on screen at once... i doubt anybody with a bit of intelligence thinks it's going to play like the video.

the reason halo wars is on the most anticipated is cause its a HALO rts made by the company that knows rts's best. it's not hard to comprehend, again anybody with a bit of intelligence should understand that.

rts > fps: in terms of skill and strategy, i'm guessing you must not have either?

You are totally wrong. I said "I think" and I stand by that as being a possibility. Learn to read, son.

I'm not impressed.

Looks exactly like Halo 2, except with some new textures/lighting. If the game does actually look like that when its released, maybe achieving native 1080p output for it is doable after all....

How did some Swedish magazine get "leaked" "information" before any other site on the internet did? I vote for "hoax".

Unless this specfic magazine is fake.

Why wouldn't they put anything in OXM though? I have the latest issue and it doesn't have nutin in it.

Well that's disappointing....let's hope they still have a lot of work to do in the visuals department...

I also sincerely hope this game isn't nearly as glitchy/unbalanced as Halo 2 is...

With regard to the movie

I would rather have them not do a movie, so as to not dishoner the franchise, because I don't see any conceivable way that it could be good...

" A taste of the Halo movie will be on one of the disc" yeah right so they are gonna include footage from a movie that will never be made?

maybe it'll be something like what Splinter Cell 3: Chaos theory had. there was a trailer for the movie, but all it was was a bunch of text flying around.

man cannon sounds like a gay porno or something

I don't know why some of you guys are complaining about the graphics.
They look great! Did you guys expect Bungie to change the art direction or something????

“A lot is still missing in this build. Weather- and water effects are missing, and most of our HDR isn’t in there yet. We’re still at alpha stage, but when everything is in place, Halo 3 will be the best X360 has to offer.” -Brian Jarrard

“We definitely have another strategy than Epic Games when it comes to graphics. We’ll never engulf our game environments in lots of details like that. Gears of War looks absolutely fantastic, but we want to avoid compromising Halo’s unique visual style. That’s why we’re making a clean, sharp game as opposed to one with insane amount of details.” -Brian Jarrard

“There are many ways to convey emotion. Graphics is not the most important one.” -Brian Jarrard

And if you guys are still in doubt about the validity of these scans,
I was shocked to read on my latest copy of EGM.
At the end of the mag, they say that they will feature Halo 3 in their next cover.
They say that Bungie will finally blow the lid off Halo 3.
And judging by the fact that magazines are always a full month behind, Bungie blew the lid off of Halo 3 for these publications a few weeks ago.

Can't wait for my next issue of EGM, it should be here in two or three weeks....

Bungie already said they wouldn't increase the polygon count much, they wanted to focus on shaders and other stuff.

[miggidy]

Judging by the scans, the graphics look every bit as good as they did in the Halo 3 E3 trailer.
Some people just have a hard time understanding what art direction is all about





As for the "Man cannon", yes it does sound sort of "gay".
But remember that this is a literal translation, I'm pretty sure that's not the real name.
Besides, only insecure guys would find a real problem with such a name....

Maybe they are just intimidated, having only man pistols themselves.

On a more serious note I should imagine they'll fullfill a role not to disimilar to translocators in UT.

Water pistols?

But yeah, I agree on the translocators.

Anyways, 1up.com is already talking about some of the stuff you will find on the next edition of EGM:

I like this part:

What if you could save your own movies from Halo 3's single- and multiplayer gameplay and then rewatch them? In Halo 3, you can.

ooooooh hell yeah. as far as the graphics department, apparently you didnt read its still in alpha stage.
and if it uses the same "engine" as the trailer it will be awsome. it looks doable for the 360. plus i cant even see the pics very well to even determine them.
