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.
-
Go to 1up.com if you stuill have questions about the mancannon.
-
yah.I feel the same way.Everybody keeps saying how terrible all these screens look,and how Bungie had better nake the game look better before it ships.I can't believe they're saying this.Bungie already said that most of it is placeholder.They have specifically said the grass and water ARE placeholders.So stop your -blam!-ing people.Like the guy im quoting said"this build is for gamplay and match making,not to test the graphics" not in those words but he said it. p.s why can't I hit a fish with a newspaper.;) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] diodki666 no problem but shame i dont think most would listen or accept to wait and see if it will change it just getting a bit old. just wish people can accept its not finished that multiplayer was for test purposes of matchmakeing and gamplay at the time not graphics even OXM have mentioned that when it releases it will look a lot better. just give it time folks its hard when all we have are these shots but have patiantce![/quote] [Edited on 11/25/2006]

ok last thing than im done on the 2nd picture if you zoom way in on the picture there is a red spartan just standing there with a gun... but there appears to be a knife at the end of it. can any one make that out?
-
Ok,thanks for clearing that up.Diodk ps.Yes,there is a thing called the mancannon that launches people,in this case spartans or elites.What I want to know,is if the cannon's gonna make it's way into the single player as well... psps.any word on the weekly update? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] diodki666 well they did not say that they are using the halo 2 engine at e3..but they are using the next step halo 2 engine..or improved version of the engine. we have seen its next gen cababilities at halo 3 with the E3 showing but i truly hope my hypothosis is correct because i do want to be impressed with the graphics similar to gears of war like ya know open my mouth wide here and there. but hell no matter what i think we would still get the game. and also what is with the over exaturation to the word noob....i mean wtf...noob...novice....you call that an insult....wtf....noob has got to be the weakest insult ever. you might aswell call them a faeiry..or pixie. i bet ill be called a noob for saying this now O-o anyway full confidence in bungie just hope it doesnt dissapoint.[/quote] [Edited on 11/25/2006]

Your welcome.;)I was just thinking the same thing about the turrets,and perhaps something different as well.Your aleady vulerable as hell on the back of that thing,so why make the only bit of protection you can get be destructable.Unless of course,the turrets strength has been dramaticly increased.... [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Luness Dang Foxx it is just a forum. I don't quite understand the purpose of flaming. Does it make some people feel better about themselves. True he posted it a lot but who died because of it. I'm pretty sure the turret shot on High Ground is just because the Hog's beat up. That happened in Halo 2 when the Hog got beat up. The shield fell off. mmmmk thank you chip[/quote]

So bassically there is a "cannon" that can shoot you high into the air?

yup.Actually a bunch of people already said that.Um....I believe KP explained that near the beginning of the discusion.Read there if you want the details.
-
Anyone notice behind the blue Spartan are the faded words "Out of Ammo"?
-
You idiot.Call me a -blam!- noob.Look at it closly.It's clearly missing its muzzle.I posted three times because I didn't feel like waiting an hour for a response to put the rest of my two cents in.I have a life.Things i gotta get done at certain times.I said what I saw,and if you choose to respond negativtivly,that's your choice.If you like to hide behind a computer screen,and insult people that way.That too,is your choice.The very fact that you've called someone who has been playing games since the atari,and in arcades before that,a noob,shows your lack of intelligence on the subject.You,my imbicilic friend,are a noob.;) p.sI didn't notice the difference between the turrets,Thanks for pointing that out other dude. [Edited on 11/25/2006]

i want to see new vehicles
-
wow dude ur such a noob its a new designed BR thats all and stop posting 20 times in a row it makes you look how you are ..which is a noob
-
nice, potato chip. another thing i noticed that i bet many other people have also noticed is the difrence between warthog turrets. in both valhalla shots, the hog's turrets are the same as halo 1 and 2. In the High Ground shot, the turret lacks the protective shield, and looks, in my opinion, much cooler. And I'll bet that the Valhalla level is acually on a halo (which means that you will problay play on a halo in campaign)
-
Cancell that.I zoomed in even closer,and it is a battle rifle,just without the muzzle.A glitch?Or something much more?
-
Now that i've taken the image and zoomed ion really really really close to it,i see that it is niether an assualt rifle,or BR.It has the charactoristiscs of both.What gives Bungie? [Edited on 11/25/2006]
-
Look at the weapon on the white spartan back,the one in snow bound,right behind the dead blue one.Not the ones thats jumping,but the one that's verymuch grounded.At first I thought"assualt rifle"Then I saw the scope.Then I thought "battle rifle"Then I saw no barrel sticking out.It looks to me,if you zoom in on,like a mixture between both fore mentioned weapons.Perhaps the weapons will have secondary functions.Perhaps this one screen shot has solved the mystery of the x botton delema.Well...maybe it doesn't quite do that,but it shows us something.Look really hard and close at it.That's all I can say. p.s,the forerunner structures on halo are probebly just a mp map exclusive.To aswere your question.
-
Hey... In Valhalla, there is a Forerunner structure. Will there be another Halo installation in Halo 3? Or is that just a multiplayer map feature?
-
I bloody hope we cn stick the to people.I'd be cool if they were like proximity mines,so if you moved after being stuck,only then would you explode.AS for the spartan in the air.I believe the upadate talkes about a few mancannon things on the base behind him.Two on the sides shoot offf into rocks.One in the middle fires him far into distance.1up.com may have the details on the mancannon. p.s,go pepsi! [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coke or pepsi I got a few questions. The spiked gernade thing since it has spikes.. who thinks its going to stick to people? im putting money on that... allso in the second picture if you enlarge it how is that spartan that high off the ground? i know you can grenade jump but im pretty sure you can do it that high in the air.

I heard that Bungies using a new engine.According to an OXM right after e3,Bungie said that halo 3's gonna be using a new engine.This is what they said "The game uses a new engine,but uses huge ammounts of learning and expirience from the creation of halo and halo 2." Then they go on about how the new engine effects certain things graphicly.So if they announced that they're using the old engine,I missed it. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Septic360 I think what we can establish is that we're all excited about the new gameplay additions to Halo 3 but the over all look of the game (i.e the graphics) leave a lot to be desired. If the detail on the screenshots provided really are as a result of Halo 3 being in the pre-alpha stages, Bungie would have no doubt commented about them, and about how they were subject to further enhancement. The fact of the matter is, Bungie, in terms of the visuals of Halo 3, have set a very low standard. Any improvements to the visual details will most likely fall short of what people's expectations are for Halo 3 and this is a fear that really needs to be addressed. And the CORE reason behind this is because Bungie are trying to use a distinctly "last generation" engine to make a next-generation game. I addressed my fears as soon as it was announced that Halo 3 would be made using the previous installment's engine and I see now that they were not without reason. I still have my fingers crossed that Bungie can pull through in the visual department, because if they don't, Halo 3 will be a serious let-down, regardless of how good the gameplay is.[/quote] [Edited on 11/25/2006]

Oops,seems I had a typo.What I meant to write,dude,was that bungie has set the bar graphrically for what we will see in actual gameplay.(I wrote that at like 2:30 in the morning,so give me break.)Some of the textures did look horrible.Nobody can deny that.But a few others didn't.Though as Bungie said,a vast majority of what we see is placeholder and will change.Have you seen the pic in Valhalla where one can see the old glove on the spartan.It just goes to show how many placeholders there currently are.Ease off Bungie.Before they released the screens,they told us how much it doesn't look like the final game.It WILL get better. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] power ranger what the hell are you talking about? the e3 trailer did not show any gameplay footage,how can it set a bar for real gameplay if it did not show any gameplay. even if bungie did not promise anything but the screenshots still look horrible,you can't deny that.

I cant wait to see the flag ripple in the wind!

Hmmm that is odd. I went to 1up.com, and there was like 20 pictures of the new levels. I wonder why they couldnt use more. go to www.1up.com and go to the halo 3 subject. There you can find better pictures of the maps with more details and understandings of what their talking about. Anyways, cant wait to play it, ill have to start saving my money to get it. which will take about 2 weeks. lol.
