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 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.

man i say that in snowbound they put the boundaries as unstable ground so when u step out u fall in to a fissure or something o.O
-
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?
-
Nice Update, like that you went into detail.
-
hmm im wondering about sniper any changes?! and if they put in the AR then why do they still have the smg? last but not least will it take a bit of time to pull the other weapon off of your leg/back or will it be like halo2 and be almost automatic switch time? ok i lied one more question! can you put away two guns that your are dual wielding? ex. you have two spikers but want to pull out your sniper. do you have to drop one or just continue by putting them both away? please pm me when there is a response

What are these Covenant Bateries?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DMK447 I wanna know why the shotgun has two holes now. [/quote] They used to have a flashlightwhere the second hole is, but that dosen't look like a flashligt. Maybe it's a grenade launcher?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sociopath339 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Unbeliever462 -----------begin baseless speculation I waited with baited breath for an explanation of the "new" shotgun, seen best in the third pic held by the jumping red Spartan on the right. Looks like they've moved the light from under to the side....or is it a scope? That means it's now got two barrels ...and they're different. Perhaps one fires shot (as usual) and the other fires a slug. Perhaps that's the secret, diabolical new purpose of the X button, to switch between firing modes? Perhaps all (or most) have two firing modes? -------end baseless speculation-------[/quote] Genius.This could also switch from Semi to Auto for other weapons, like the BR, or, (Extreme low chances) the Pistol, or even a Combat Shotgun of some kind. Also, I`m assuming we`ll be able to hold in all Four weapons right?Because if you can hold the SMG on the hip, then you can hold another one on the other hip.Meaning you can have Two Handheld weapons in reserve, so, when Dual-wielding while having two weapons in reserve you have 4 weapons.Wicked.This could set new Ammo limits, using the trick to have 1 SMG in reserve and two in your hands, you could have even [b]more[/b] Ammo![/quote] It won't be like that.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] seargent johnson In the trailer i seen a assualt rifle, in the screenshots i seen a battle rifle and on one of the spartons lap i seen a SMG???? WhAt?? Can you explain?[/quote] SMG, Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle. All will likely be in the Halo 3 game. Problem?

Question to KPaul: Hey In the picture of the spartan ridding "brokeback" on the mongoose and holding the flag, I have been thinking about it and when you hold a flag in halo 2 you keep both your first and secondary weapons. And if in halo 3 you happen to have sniper, spartan laser, and the flag wont it be kinda bulky or wat are you going to do about that ( if you had a small weapon and a big weapon there wouldnt be a problem and if you had to drop a weapon it wouldnt either.) Also I thought it was a very well done update and I think it beats 1ups.

Riddle me this! [i]Map:[u]Snowbound[/u][/i] [b]Why does it say "Ammo (Unreadable" "Press (Unreadable)"? Lazy Photoshop job? Or secret message?! O_O[/b]

ZOMG Frankie made a post! HAXXZORZ!!!

I for one can't help trying to analyse the settings. We all know that Bungie often make their multiplayer maps with some context to the single-player campaign. Burial Mounds was on Basis (the moon near Alpha Halo), Ascension was on Delta Halo and so on. My eyes are drawn to the world or moon in the sky in Snowbound. The setting is Covenant, and that world is clearly inhabited. And it looks alien, considering that the cities seem far to regular to be made by humans. I for one can't shake the feeling that that's an important location, whatever world it is.

in the EGM mag it was some weapon pics of the spiker, the spike granade and the AR i wanna see them in hi-res to :(

On the warhog turret, does the ammo feed into the gun or does it stay still like the warhog in H2??

Hello chaps, The pictures look great, however is it just me or they look very "geometrical" ? do you plan to bring smoothness......or is it related to the rendering engine still being fine tuned Keep up the good work
