H3 Screenshot Dissection
We're taking a deeper look at the Halo 3 screenshots today. Consider it a behind the scenes look at them, with a commentary track from the directory. Except I'm not the director, more the key grip. [i]Key[/i] grip though, that's gotta count for something.

I still dont understand how they can have so much done with this game but it still will not be out for a year...atleast. I am excited about the multiplayer demo this spring but what are they waiting for? The real question is, if they have been confident in the game to show it off a little like they have and all it really needs is a graphics upgrade, then why is that going to take so damn long? I am sure there are some other minor things they need to work out but as much as they supposively work on it and still are, I just cant fathom it taking so long. And I am skeptical of the multi player demo. First, why would they even do this? Unless it is available for a long time, how much worth while feedback can they get from us that they cant get themselves since they seem to play the game a lot. Second, It seems they are just trying to prolong the wait until its release in which we know its not going to be spring now so why dont they just tell us when. Third, it would seem too good to be true that they would release a demo for anyone with a 360 to play. I would not be surprised if when spring comes closer, that they will say "oh we have changed our minds and this demo will only be available to a select few". Just looking at these screenshots and reading the updates, it seems that they have a helluva lot done with this game. Enough to where it should not take another full year to release. I dont think I have ever heard of or seen anything like this occurr before.

Nah,I hope that take their good golly time with it.Although the suspense is killing me as well,I really want halo 3 to be something to remember.Rushing it's development would wind up making the game less than it could be.Take most of the 360 launch title for example.Another years worth of work could have made them freaken aswome.Also take Oblivion for exaple.If Bethesta had decided to keep it in developmeny till the PS3 version comes out in early 2007,all those little things people complained about wouldn't be there.No load times.Textures molding with the envirment at a distance better.Anyway,yah,As long as halo 3 doesn't get pushed back into 2008,i'll be patient.
-
i wish they would hurry Halo 3 up....the suspence is killin me!!!! P.S. patato chip....im older then 12, my gamertag is Tactical777
-
-ignores Liserine's rude comment earlier- Yah,the mancannon is essensially the same thing.Or it sounds so to me.Diodki is right guys and gals,you can't judge an unfinished product.When I saw these screens I wasn't disappointed,as Bungie had told us prier to there release, they held alot of placeholders.So what I see now dosn't bother me.I know that Bungie's still got a few tricks up there sleeve.;)
-
Its wierd, everybodies really excited or really slating the man cannon, but isn't it basically the same thing we saw in halo 2 that shot you up into the air in multiplayer??????
-
Can you make the spartan beam NOT overheat in two seconds? That would be great.
-
there acutally turrets in the snowbound pic, which are instead of invisible boundries there using them to stop you, because you can see so far an invisible wall would be stupid so they will blast you to bits if you try and get out. it also mentioned these in the pic dissection update aswell.. :3 and a mongoose is an animal, but in halo 3 terms its the quad bike/atv [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sgt Petter What is those droids or something in the Snowbound pic? At the right far away... And also, what does Mongoose mean? I've seen it more places, I got a nickname called MoonGoose, but I don't want to use it if it's that similar to mongoose....[/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Listerine All that I am saying is that when you zoom in you can see the detail of the armor and I will admit that the visors are not as reflective as they should be. Maybe im just blind but the reflective lighting of the armor looks pretty similar to the trailer. Plus the covenant structures look like the ships that come flying overhead in the trailer from E3. So maybe you could make your point more clear for me. How would they make it not so "bland"? Besides, I thought "The making of" trailer that you can download for the 360 made it clear that they were using a new engine, but again I could be wrong[/quote] thanks my point exactly, bungie dont make false promsises, if they say that the e3 trailer is the new engine then thats what the final product will look like. and nothing looks bland aswell i think the walls have a lot of dents /scratches and detail. im not so impressed but i know its not all final yet..just wait...
-
listen man seriously, i didnt have to check if it was halo 2, must be stupidity, i played halo 2 yesturday and the detail and everything has increased but ounce again, these are not, final proper in game shots its such an early taster why judge so harshly when this isnt anywhere near the final product. i mean for -blam!- sake i think your moniter must be -blam!- if everything looks bland on it, because when i look i can see a lot of detail in the walls and his armour i know its not the most amasing looking thing..yet, i had my concerns but why keep going on and on and on and on why noit wait..if to you it still looks like halo 2 then fine..but id wait, i doubt these maps have been completly finished, they need to give us something fast for the novemeber suprise even if that meant unfinished work. give it time. and you dont work at bungie how the hell would you know you dont know what there doing so stop whining, i know these are disapointing but i mean give it the benefit of a doubt at the moment, and i have seen these on HD screens and my moniter is also HD and the screen look better, ill agree, it has halo 2 qualities, but it not finished non of it is, be happy with what there showing at the moment. and you cant say that campaign pic look like halo 2 i dont think it does at all, you can see much detail in his armour, and the walls and iron bars look or remind me of half life 2 qualities. so stop judging so harshly so soon just....wait..i wasnt impressed either, perhaps to much gears of war probubly, but i know it will deliver something. just give it time man seriously unless you have a really -blam!-e moniter which makes the pics blurry? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Septic360 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Listerine I'm a little confused. The graphics in the screens have reflective armor and face mask so basically all thats missing is some detail in the ground and some dust in the wind and everyone would be happy with the graphics? Because the spike grenades look great and the ghost is already pimped out and the frag and plasma explosions got an overhaul so who needs anything more than a pimped out ghost?[/quote] It doesn't actually look like an Xbox 360 game. In fact, many (including me) had to double check that it wasn't actually Halo 2 on the Xbox. The Visors don't seem to be reflective at all in the multiplayer, the textures in the game are exactly the same as in Halo2 and the environments, albeit quite large, look very bland. This might be down to Halo 3 being in early stages of development but one thing is clear, if Bungie built Halo 3 on a new engine, these in-game shots would look much much better.[/quote]

:O where is last weeks update!? Awesome screens are no excuse for a lack of Frankie and Mister Chief! *cries*

Sweet pics.... All hail CG and photoshop editors. Reminds me of the PS 3 games from E3 2 years ago, good, but too good to be real (and no, they werent/are real)

Patato Chip, you do realize that you are about the biggest flamer on this thread right? I have seen so many exploitive deleted words in your posts that it gets hard to insert the correct swear word [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] patato chip This threads getting boring...too much flaming,and repeated posts...Please people,for the sake of humanity,look through the other posts before posting.Stop the damn flaming.What are we?A group of elementry children fighting over who can eat the most paste?Come on,lighten up guys.It's just a forum.[/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Odysseus 09 in picture two, the grass still doesn't actually grow out of the ground... *sigh* [/quote] True, but it could just be a placeholder texture.
-
ok its NOT A HELICOPTER, that is a spike grenade if you dont know what a spike grenade is or what a mancannon is etc etc then go to 1up.com and find out anyways i am not concerned at all about the screens, the reason i play halo is for the gameplay, not the graphics so who cares if it doesnt look as good as GOW the only thing that really caught my eye was the dead blue spartan dropping THREE FRAG GRENADES??? you guys said two each make up your minds grr no weekly update? noooooooo oh well
-
In the 1st screen shot, was that a helicopter in the air?? Well all I can say is i can't wait!

in picture two, the grass still doesn't actually grow out of the ground... *sigh*

i think its time for an ingame trailer

hopefully we will be able to create much more customized player models (i believe, although im not sure, that a female spartan model will be available). this way when the beta comes around and some of us get lucky enough to get a screenshot taken of us we can say "HEY DUDES LOOK THAT'S MY SPARTAN!!!111!!1!!! TEH KEWLNESSZORZ111!!!!1!!!" im still not quite sure about some of the halo 2 beta pictures. you guys may think im lying and im full of -blam!- but my brother is completely convinced that one picture has him in it (he's cutting another player in half), and im not as convinced that another picture has me in it. im fairly sure, and i hope its me, but there's no way to find out.
