Halo 3

Started by Superboy Prime200 pages

Correction...more than 140,000 people have signed up for the Halo3 beta program...WOW.

Why does master chief hide his face? Is he ashamed of his looks? Let us see what lies concealed under the mask, any chance Bungie will let us?

I was not most impressed with the pics compared to the CGI clip, graphics look inferior to Gears of war, but those are pics, and pics mean nothing, lets wait till we see some gameplay.

Are we killing the same aliens again or do we get to see some new races involved, and do the aliens still speak better English then me?

He doesn't really "hide his face" per se, it's more of an element that Bungie uses to shroud the character in more mystery. Even in the books, the most description we get of him is he's pale, because he's in the suit all the time.

Bungie has said time and time again they haven't finished the graphics engine, and they claim that when Halo 3 comes out it will have the best visuals out there. Granted it will have a hard time looking better than GOW.

Bungie has also said they don't necessarily intend to compete with Gears of War graphically.

As you can easily see between the two games, the styles are completely different. GOW is ultra-realistically detailed down to the tiniest possibilities, and the Halo series hasn't taken that direction, visually speaking.

I am interested in seeing how Halo 3 will compare to other games that are released near the same time.

I know that. I'm interested in the water.

Rumor!

Hmm...I have split thoughts on that rumor. While personally I always wished they had more skins in Halo multiplayer...I wonder if they will actually make the brutes stronger than Spartans & Elites as they should or if they will remain the same as S & Es.

its bad enough you had to play the boring Arbiter. now this?

Are you kidding???!!! I loved playing as the Elites, they are so cool. I would only play as the Elites. If available, I would still play as the Elites in Halo 3. Anyone notice on Bungie in the multiplayer shots that there are only Spartans and no Elites, does this mean there are none?

lets hope so. im more interested in master cheif than some aliens who i brutally slaughtered again and again.

The Bubble Shield looks pretty neat.

CONFIRMED:

You CANNOT play as a brute, this was just a rumour:

That's probably one of the reasons why Bungie included Covenant POV in the campaign. They didn't want normal, casual players to simply think of the Covenant as some random aliens you keep killing; they thought it'd be a good idea for players to see what society was like within the Covenant and I think they did a good job of it. Good thing about it is that it forces players to actually think outside the box if they wanted to appreciate the story.

NEWS:

New Halo 3 campaign video thing on the Xbox 360 for download sometime next week! To check for yourself, go to http://www.bungie.net and go to the top story or the one previous to it!

EDIT: Damn, I already posted this above earlier

Has anybody picked up the December issue of EGM?

Holy shit... their Halo article was 17 pages of goodness. So many things mentioned, not the least of which was the Custom Game Matchmaking, multiplayer, single player games completely re-watchable (think Madden's replay), some info on the new maps, new weapons, grenades, and controls.

Here's a summary:

EDIT: Also, a 7 minute video about the production of Halo 3 coming to Live tomorrow morning at 2 AM Pacific time.

I heard/read a rumor of Halo 3's release date being due 7/7/07. Does anyone know if this rumor is reliable?

Highly doubt it. It will probably release November 2007 like the last two, in order to help Microsoft with the 2007 Christmas season against Sony, and so the game is complete to the fullest.

I know what your referring too, its that comercial where the license plate on one car says GOW11/07/06 and the other car had HAL0707 or something like that. Halo 1 and 2 launched in November, no reason why Halo 3 should be different.
