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.

whats a spiker?

"On the right side of the screenshot you can see the beginnings of another small tunnel. There are COVENANT BATTERIES inside this one, nothing else spawns inside it aside from each grenade, but again all of these spawnpoints and weapons are totally subject to change and likely will have changed by the time you get your hands on the game. Subtly or dramatically." Covenant batteries. I read everyones post, and only one person mentions them, then no one pays attention. Will we be able to reload our plasma weapons? Bungie please reply. It always puzzled me that the Covenant would create a one use weapon to be thrown out when its battery died. Anyways, good read.

Holy Crap Bungie! Warthog looks tight, and... Spartan Lasers? Spike Grenades? Mongoose ATV? You can see the secondary weapon? Spiker? I have to say, I'm so far off the edge of my seat, I'm sitting on my desk. Can't wait to play the game. kick-ass update. Looking forward to more.

I am assuming those tripods in the right edge of Snowbound are aout turrets..looks like the end of halo players excaping the maps. that was fun, unless someone used it online. And is the yellow guy on the right grenate jumping? [Edited on 11/22/2006]

I really think that instead of 2 grenades each(total:6) it should be either a max 8 or 3 grenades each(total:9) so that it is closer to halo 1 and 2. But this should be good for cutting down on using grenades as solely a weapon.
-
If you throw a frag grenade at a window, will it go through and break it? Or will it just bounce off the window like in Halo 2?
-
real-time means that the reflections are realistically produced while the game is running and continuously being remade so that it looks just like it does in real life. Real-time reflections show that a grenade being thrown across the front of the ghost would be realistically reflected on the surface of the ghost as explained in the post by bungie. Basically, it makes the game frickin awesome looking.........you see these types of reflections on the masterchiefs visor and probably in water reflections and the scopes on the guns and such.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] findalethegreat [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FinishTheFight32 Did anyone notice the helicopter in the air in the First pic?[/quote] HAHAHAHAHA LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote] hahahaha, that had me laughing for a good minute straight. People ask the same questions over and over without reading the responses or reading the actual post by bungie. I was almost crying when I read that helicopter thing hahaha. Besides that, the game is looking AMAZING, this just reconfirmed my beliefs in this soon to be outstanding game! keep it up bungie

cool man i cant what

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Aiello Love the screen shots. I can't wait until Halo 3 comes out! But... I was also sadded. I didn't see any evidence of secondary coloring or a symbol, (I love custimization). And, most saddly, I saw NO evidence of elites avalible in multi-player! I love being an elite, and I hope Bungie puts them in multy for the release.[/quote] first of all those pics were amazing and thanky you KP for the narration. second of all i am wondering to there is no evidence of the elite model in any of these pics i know this doesnt meen anything big (like not being able to be an elite) but does it meen that there is a certain new aspect to the elite model that you whant to keep under wraps or does it just meen that nobody playing in these matches felt like being an elite? anyways the only word that could possibly even begin to express my excitement after seeing these pics is w00t!!!!!!!!!!111 keep up the amazing work guys

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ken Dawgg The spike grenade resembles the flechette ammunition used today. And it does look like a helicopter. How about a movable turret? A machine gun you can move around and set up. H3 still lacks an indirect artillery-type weapon system. How about a mortar? You could have semi-guided rounds like they do today. Or it could be something that requires a little teamwork. One person to man the mortar and an observer closer to the target to provide updates for the mortar team ("Right 20 meters, Drop 50") Finally, if Bungie really wanted to create a stir in the gaming world, how about some suicide attack weapons? MC wearing a suicide vest, a Warthog or Ghost tricked out with an explosive payload, and a Banshee doing a 9/11-style crash on Red Base. Perhaps these weapons would have long respawn cycles, but they would add some cutting-edge flair to the game. My apologies to the troops in Iraq who are dealing with the real thing, but H3 should not leave out the most effective ground weapons of the last 25 years.[/quote] so many things said inthis one post would RUIN HALO. it is not a game like that,it s a run and gun shooter, its action packed, if it were any more action packed i think our tiny brains would explode! the moving turret would completely own everyone and would suck unless only in campaign. the mortar is not at all halo style, its to strategic, the most strategy in halo i waiting around a corner with a shotgun, if you want that play Call Of Duty (now i have nothing against these games they are fun as hell its just their style), the suicidal vehicles would BLOW they would suck completely because who wants something that can only be used once, where as the rockets or the sweet looing hii-tech spartan laser c be used multiple times are easily WAY better. sorryfor being a complete dink but thats just my two cents on your idea also i was wondering if they are gonna put the banshee bomb in multi?
-
i don't know if this has been mentioned but in the pic of snowbound, right behind the blue spartans back it says "Out of ammo..." then the next line says "Press...". Is there gonna be a way to drop weapons that are out of ammo? Maybe tha'ts what the new feature of the X button does and maybe you can run faster when you do so???....or maybe i'm an idiot.
-
Yeah dude, the smgs did kinda suck. If they do get rid of them though, i may miss them. Lol. I sound like a gir-.....illa. I don't want to get sued or somethin. Well anyways, i think that it was a good update, and i can't wait for more! thanks bungie!
-
Awesome screenshots Bungie! Simply gorgeous! When looking at that final screen though, I noticed something I don't know if anyone else noticed it or not. There were Spartans with both Battle Rifles and Assault rifles. I was led to believe in Halo 2 that the Battle Rifle had replaced the Assault Rifle. I am glad to see it's return from Halo 1 and I wonder has it changed at all from the first Halo. Personally I hated the SMG from Halo 2 and sourly missed the Assault Rifle when I needed a machine gun.
-
Did anyone notice the lable on the Spartian cannon that reads "Danger: Darn Live Wires"? So many easter eggs. so little time.
-
Baller as ever Bungie, baller as ever. P.S. I'm with Paintbait on the Lobsterbacks.
-
How many new guns do you guys thing there are going to be?
-
BEST. UPDATE. EVER.
-

-
What do spikers do? Do you know?
-
Nice info guys!
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HaZaRdOuS101 The spartans dont look very different...[/quote] load a picture of master chiefs helmet from halo 2 and then compare it to that one. There is a little more detail and remember this is only a pre-alpha stage
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] skillzthakillz If you look in the middle background of pic 2 there is a guy with dual wield guns. I cannot figure out if those guns are smgs, or some new gun! Do you guys know. Also I wanna know if the plasma pistol is going to be as cheap as it was in Halo 2, I hope it is not as magnetic. One more thing, will the sword be in the game because I don't see it in any pics. Please Bungie keep sending they cool HI-Def maps. Send new map pic please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna see them. Is the guy on the back of the mongoose going to be able to shoot? [/quote] The dual wielded weapons are spikers and are a new brute weapon. and about the sword, bungie will be posting more pictures and i think they will probably keep it in the game, just because its not it these pics does not mean it wont be in the game
-
So I wanna know
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ShockMister what could be put on a beach that is worthy enough to mention but not in any detail? some new weapon or a new vehical or just some really cool thing ?[/quote] Ummm... The update is on the pictures not whats not in the pictures.
