i hope elites are still a big part of the game cause they are awesome. But another thing i noticed was.....DUAL SWORDS. Who knows why it will help or even if it will be in the final game but it still looked cool.

[troutofdoom]

Their firing stance looks retarded.

[puppetmasterjjk]

videos wont work for me

[mesaywee3]

Game looks good so far. And can anyone explain the story of halo 2 for me. Never got around to playing it, and i sure as hell will be getting h3.

[dennisthemenace]

I downloaded the HD version from xbox live. AWESOME.

you should play halo 2, i thought it was a good story although a shitty ending. im sure you know someone you can borrow it off of and it was a fairly short game.

[silverspade14]

I'm hoping those aren't even near the final graphics because they suck compared to Gears of War.

[Kazimierz]

It stopped downloading halfway through. Whatever. I'll be getting it. And they better bring the pistol back to its full Halo 1 glory.

Hell, they should just erase Halo 2 from memory, and make a better Halo 1 sequel.

If you looked at the bootom, they had faint Sub-Titles saying it was Pre-Alpha. Last Month they released Alpha Screenshots but with Halo 2 Place Holders and they were magnificent.

Beta Testing is out soon (not sure when, but they've taken Applications) and between then and Launch there'll be a good few Months to carry on working on it.

I like the Brute Weapons, I think the Chief Brute there was holding a Snipe? It wasn't a Covvy Snipe so it's a new Weapon we haven't seen? Nice nontheless.

ARggg jesus christ, Im watching first half of the vid and i hoping to shit the graphics their showing are from Halo2.

Edit: hang on looking better now.

The first half IS Halo 2 :squint:

[rand0m]

There's no Date.

People say March, others say November.

I just want Eternal Sonata :wah:

[firepiss]

Metroid's Space Pirates owns The Brute. IMO.

Halo 3 will probably be a good, but I'm still not sure about the gameplay. Haven't seen enough of it.

[PinkMouse]

The new brute grenades sound cool, they stick to everything not just people

[Dr. Zombie]

Great vid!

Haha, the one designer said, "I'm hoping to hear a lot of trash talk". Haha!! They could have a carrots fighting pudding in Halo 3 and 10 year old wanna be gansters would still go "Yo, I schooled you slon, I fucked yo mom, ungh!!!"

But yeah, looks cool, I really hope as the Brute you can rip off people's arms like it showed in the one vid. I'm all for some more "brutal" violence in the game.

Have fun with it's third Delay :wave:

Sweet picture quality with this trailer http://gameinvasion.comcast.net/gameinvasion/show/#1266429_halo_3/1650802_halo_3_trailer_starry_night

[MasterChef]

When the Cheiftans charge, the ground should shake.

[Papero]

Like someone else said, the Brutes actual shooting animation is pretty dull, but when I think about it there's not many other ways such a beast could hold the weapon and still do all the other skills the have.

elites are not part of the covenant anymore. so if anything you'd get to play as them

I think Bungie said themselves this is all about the Chief, we'll defianatly learn what happeneds with the Elites/Grunts/Jackals but Bungie Claimed only the Chief is playable.

[rand0m]

So can someone outline what new things they are bringing to the FPS genre with this game?

:confused:
the halo series never brought anything really new to fps why start now?
the whole point was that what it did it did well enough, and it was fun - which they royally cocked up for the 2nd game

[xeoset]

which they royally cocked up for the 2nd game

I take it you never played it Online.

BTW, Bungie proved that FPS's could be done on Consoles well and could be made fun. With Halo 2 they proved that Console FPS's could rival PC FPS's Online, I've never had as much fun on a PC FPS than Halo 2 on my Xbox/Xbox 360.

i did, for like an hour. wasn't that great. maybe you need like a clan or something. 'it's good online' is basically admitting the rest was shit.

I enjoyed the Campaign. I thought Bungie could improve on Halo 1's Campaign, which was excellent and hard to beat as a Campaign. My only problem with Halo 2 is that the ending was just "Hey look...Halo 3!".

i didn't like the brutes as a new enemy - i thought they were quite unimaginative (ooh big apes lol) and unbalanced the gameplay a bit. as a personal thing i guess i would have preferred a different, stronger elite as an enemy and just not played as an elite at all

also, just the levels in general were abit linear, and missed something the first game had.. :(
i did like the sword. when i first played halo 1 i was like 'fuck! i wish i could pick these things up!' :D

[firepiss]

Have fun with it's third Delay :wave:

It's only a rumor right now. I still have my fingers crossed.

[xeoset]

I hope they do Delay it. I want my Metroid to have Online Play.

[rand0m]

Wait so your saying nothing is new in Halo 3? Wtf that sucks, they must be doing somthing with the power the 360 has?!?!

[JesusTheJedi]

Am I the only one who thinks that this (along with the previous games) looks like generic, rehashed shit?

[Slid3r]

Most probaly. It looks like hecka fun, and the previous ones were as well.

But criticism is one of the penalties for being successful, so I understand.

[Molson]

realize its still in development, but fuck, those animations are god awful.

[Strike-Anywhere]

yeah i know, however when is this game going to be released?

november, because it always is and right now it's only in pre-alpha stages.

[Strike-Anywhere]

pre-alpha meaning this current build is pretty much an upgraded halo 2, so that they can test and start running the multiplayer, then they'll dump what they created into the new engine what's it is completed.

i remember when halo 2 images first came out, they looked like shit, it was horrible, it looked like halo 1.

this is what the alpha build of halo 2 looked like

I didn't know you liked metroid? But a online multiplayer would be a nice add on for the series.
