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.
-
The spartans dont look very different...
-
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? [Edited on 11/22/2006]

im way too obsessed with this game already, i check this site like every other day
-
Im pretty sure Bungie is awesome, but I'm not entirely sure... I gonna need about five more maps by Thanksgiving night to be satisfied (aside from the satisfication that results from turkey).
-
[quote] several Battle Rifles and a few other handy weapons, and one as-yet unrevealed myster[/quote] I wonder what that new weapon is....
-
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 ?
-
Cool, cool, cool. There's just a few questions I have burning away since seeing the shots. Will the new AR have tracers like it did in Halo 1? It was pretty intense visually. Will they show grenades on the belt as they now do with weapons on the back? Not as important as seeing the 2nd weapon but a neat touch. Is the mongoose passanger able to fire at all angles around him? I noticed he's not actually sitting on the back, he's standing. Pretty cool.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] opiate911 also if u look in the background the guy on the ghost has a battle rifle on his back and they removed it from halo 3 and put the AR in at least thats what bungie told us : )[/quote] nope you dont read many updates do you. Halo 3 will have the AR, BR, AND SMG. [quote]Hey what's that thing 'flying' in the background on the first screenie? Looks like some kind of cruise missile...[/quote] It is a blue spartan being launched my the man cannon. Please read the articles and not just look at the pretty pictures [Edited on 11/22/2006]

Oh man Halo 3 looks so good but some of the graphics in the screenshots look a lot like the graphics in Halo 2, but at least this is only pre-alpha buil. And what KPaul said about the needler being ridiculous at medium ranges....... I WILL PWN TEH WHOLE WORLD WITH TEH NEW AND IMPROVED NEEDLER!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

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.
-
AR and BR are BOTH in the game.
-
its just amazing
-
A fantastic update, guys! These new screens look wonderful.
-
also if u look in the background the guy on the ghost has a battle rifle on his back and they removed it from halo 3 and put the AR in at least thats what bungie told us : )
-
Hey what's that thing 'flying' in the background on the first screenie? Looks like some kind of cruise missile...

k soo when are they relecing halo 3 again? was it january 11?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vega 90 In the Valhalla shot, how come there is a random white Spartan really high in the air? What other worldly force that can only be in Halo get him up there?[/quote] I'm guessing you were too enamored by the pretty pictures to read the details. BTW KP, I think the proper word for more than one Mongoose would be "Mongeese". :P IMHO *edit* Okay, I'm going to pretend that I knew some else made the "Mongeese" comment 3 pages ago. (Gives Vega 90 a cookie) [Edited on 11/22/2006]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vega 90 In the Valhalla shot, how come there is a random white Spartan really high in the air? What other worldly force that can only be in Halo get him up there?[/quote] ...the man cannon as they explain
-
Cool, but I was expecting individual blades of grass, and no stupid it's-so-obvious-those-are-tiled textures. Maybe that will come when the game ships? =D
-
WOW... in case u people cannot read, all of these pictures are PRE- ALPHA!!!!! and in case u dont know what that means, these pics are even close to being final, its like playing a stripped down version of some game. Their will be customisation im sure, and sincs their are people like you then im sure that their will be Elites, why u like Elites i dont konw, their heads are like a big target for snipers. And its not just this guy, its alot of people, just keep in mind that the game is coming out next year, like im assuming summer, probubly later, so they are still going to be working on it like a mother:) Thank you:)
-
the maps look sweet. is bungie ready for the world to try and "glitch" them? you know its going to happen!
-
In the Snowbound picture, the dead blue spartan, in the snow, still has his weapon on his back does that mean we can pick up the weapons from the dead bodies instead of having them fly off in random directions when a person is killed.
-
Bungie! That was a fantastic update! It made my day with those screen shots. :D My faith in Halo 3 is renewed! There's a lot of eye candy, like the secondary weapons slinged on the Spartans' backs. And that how the Spartans feet and ankles adjust to the contours with the ground. I hope that isn't changed! I love how the Ghost looks too...and the Mongoose.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DMK447 I wanna know why the shotgun has two holes now. [/quote] Double the holes means double the fun!!! Edit- or maybe it's a soft-drink dispenser, because even spartans get thirsty... [Edited on 11/22/2006]
-
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.

''...the Ghost is that it’s received a pretty awesome graphic overhaul. It’s subtle at first but we’ve been noticing it more and more. The surface is now a lot shinier than before, [u][b]the reflection on it is real-time[/u][/b], which we just tested by throwing grenades in front of it and watching their reflections.'' I heard the word [i] real-time[/i] before, but what does it exactly mean? Can someone be nice enought to explain.
