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.

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
-
Also, above the blue Spartan's head, you can see the triangle of three stars. I forget the name of that formation, but yeah.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Knights0fNi I have yet to see or hear anything about the rocket launcher, is it gone, replaced by the spartan laser? Anyone know?[/quote] Its still in. It spawns in a cave near the bunker on High Ground. I haven't heard about one spawning on the other two maps.
-
On the Snowbound picture you can see the words "Out of ammo" under the Bungie logo. Easy to miss, though...
-
sweet.

I was very impressed with all of the pics, however there was one thing that is really disturbing me. If you take a look at the third pic (snowbound), and you look at the white spartan (the one by the frag grenade blast) who's jumping in the air while shooting his assault rifle, you see that the bullets coming off of the assault rifle aren't in line with the actual weapon. The assault rifle is pointing towards the ground at a gentle angle, while the stream of bullets themselves are at an angle that seem to be going towards the green spartan. At first, I thought that the bullets themselves are coming from the smg that the green spartan is wielding, but smg bullets aren't tracers, and they don't leave that yellowish line that the AR bullets leave. Also the white spartan's AR is firing while the green spartan's smg is not. Will this be fixed, because I've noticed the same things in both of the other halos, where the stream of bullets appear to move at a different direction than from the weapon itself.

I see in the Snowbound picture that there are no footprints in the snow. I think this would be a cool feature, not only aesthetically but also would lead to interesting scenarios in game.
-
I wanna know why the shotgun has two holes now.
-
nice post... and bee, yea thats the turrets that they are using to keep people from leaving the boundaries.
-
What a great story.Of corse it's a freakin assult rifle!NOOB

I know this game is still one year from release and all stuff is subject to change, and most likely they're using some physics from Halo 2 as fillers.... But please tell me, Bungie, that you've got plans to make changes to the body physics of Halo 2, which I can see the evidence of in the Snowbound picture below the jumping, red spartan, partially covered by a hill. Hopefully you'll see this cry? Other than that these screens look absolutely amazing!
-
Wonder what the [i]secret[/i] weapon is?
-
Theyre talkinag about only 3 screenshots...? There are 20 screens from Halo 3 MP.........if u havent seen them, have a look here: [url]http://www.1up.com/do/media?cId=3144308[/url]

It's been a great day of news for the HALO Nation. Thanks, people. This looks like everything we could has asked for, and more. I will be thrilled to be filling up the couch with gamers to storm these maps. Bungie continues their reign as the most multiplayer-friendly development house in the biz.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pesky Shouldnt the plural for Mongoose be Mongeese?[/quote] That's what I was thinking, well I guess in the end the online comunity will probably determine the plural form unless its mentioned in the actual campaign. But I definetely think mongeese makes most sense, and mongi is just awesome.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bee Boy Here's what I've managed to disect from the snowbound picture. First: By the blue spartan's secondary weapon, there's a faint lettering of "Out of Ammo," whether this is visible to everyone, I'm not sure. Here's the picture of it. [url=http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4060832]Link[/url][/quote] Obviously you haven't been around for some time. The answer to the "Out of Ammo" thing can be found at the bottom of the first page in this thread. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bee Boy Secondly: In the sky, I found what appears to be an up-side-down big dipper. [url=http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4060831]Here.[/url][/quote] I'm not sure what you mean with this. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bee Boy http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4060831 Lastly, and most cryptically, I still can't figure out what [url=http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4060833]This thing[/url] is. -Bee[/quote] That is one of the automated turrets that prevent players from straying too far off the map.

Do the turrets sound good again? They were awesome in Halo 1, like the warthog chain gun, but they were wimpy in Halo 2, sounded vaguely like rice on paper. Will the turret sounds strike fear in the hearts of all again?

Hmm, I wonder if these are the maps that will be in the beta...

[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] What is it, that you don't understand? The BR is gonna be the same burst fire BR we all know and love in Halo 2. The AR is making a return from H:CE, like the BR, it is a single wielded weapon, but it is fully automatic, not burst fire. Then the SMG, well, when/if you dual wield, how often is the SMG in your combo? 80-90% of the time I would imagine. If the SMG were to be taken out, then there would be no point in having duals anymore. From what I've read, I've been given the impression that the AR is the new default starting weapon. They might even make the SMG as secondary so dual wielding is easier to come by for the folks who love it.

I thought I saw some ice on Snowbound. I wonder if its slippery...

Most importantly [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lordstemplar1 Nice update but... What happened to the "Campaign Glimpse screenshot" and the "more shots of the Spartan Laser". They're mentioned early on in the update, but I couldn't find them =([/quote] =P
-
notice the dead spartan in the middle of the picture; he's just died and there are three frag grenades mid air around him. does this mean we can hold three of each grenade type? or just a total of a certain number, made up of any combination? or can we hold 4 of each (as usual) and when we pick up more of another type, some are automatically dropped?
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FinishTheFight32 Did anyone notice the helicopter in the air in the First pic?[/quote] You didn't read it, did you? It is a Spike Grenade, you can also see a spike grenade explosion close to the Warthog.
