yet again makin a new halo with hardly any differences to the previous one (except maybe it being worse), they are really milking this cow dry

halo 1 was and is still the best

However, to defend the shoddy halo 2 pics, the halo 1 screenshots were on HD, and the halo 2 screenshots are still in beta.

Wow....speechless, this should help Bungie to make Halo 3 better.

[marhsmellow14]

were in this generation. and those graphics are.....the same.....not the graphics matter, but fucking a dude, good looks compliments good story all the same

Dude its talking about halo 3 and you are talking about halo 1` pics on hd and halo 2 being in beta.

[navid]

see thats what online games should loook like.

[OLIAX]

they've spent all this time on halo3 and all they've done is add higher res textures and a higher polygon count to models with a few extra details added

this could be done in under a month by a dedicated team and I'm not kidding (not including mapping which is a bitch I know because I myself have helped in the unreal tournament modding scene over at the atari boards)

halo 1 in my opinion is the best online and offline

halo 2 is utter crap and I wish I had never bought it

and halo 3 I hope to god does not follow this trend

O M G HAHAHAHA

[Sepharih]

Honestly, in comparison to other games, when have Halo's graphics ever been cutting edge anyway? I've never been a Halo fan because of the graphics.

haha never remember halo was originally designed for a mac

I just liked halo1 for online play on the pc

I used to laugh at the people who used to post screenshots over at halofiles.com I used to look at them when I was the admin and laugh my head off at the poor quality of some of the potds (picture of the day) they had shit graphics shit captions and best of all they were printscreened then pasted into mspaint and then posted with a big white border it was the noobiest gaming community I have ever witnessed

EDIT: here's a few perfect examples

Big Fucking Deal

Can't say i'm surprised. Halo for PC is a big steaming pile of Dog shit. I'll take my X-box 360 over that mess any day.

It's actually kind of funny, because believe it or not Halo PC was my first entry into the Halo world, since I had no interest in purchasing an X-box. I distinctly remember playing that game for about an hour and then uninstalling it, trying to understand how that shitty game could become so popular. Course then one of my friends convinced me to give the X-box version a try, and then I got hooked pretty fast, and this was by the time FarCry had come out.

Apparently Halo 3 is supposed to be the greatest game ever... looks like Halo 2 on a HDTV... Really pathetic bungie... another rushed item of Microsoft's just like the 360.

[FlyinG ShoosteR]

The PS3 sucks my cock.

[Quicksilver]

Those are only beta pictures, but still... when was halo ever about graphics? The AR is the new starting weapon, duel wielding will still be there but the 'shoot-grenade-melee' gameplay is back from halo 1.

[xeoset]

Halo 2 = Finished Product
Halo 3 = BETA

Gee fucking whiz, what a great, unbiased and fair comparison this is.

Premium guys, please go look for my Halo 3 ALPHA Vs. Halo 2 ALPHA, there's an amazing comparison, both fair and unbiased.

[Nocturnal]

Graphics don't matter, until a game you hate comes out and gives you something else to bitch about.

Those screenshots suck, HD, Beta, etc. already mentioned.

Yes, and no more cheesey Battletrifle

The software release life cycle is composed of different stages that describe the stability of a piece of software and the amount of development it requires before final release. Each major version of a product usually goes through a stage when new features are added, or the alpha stage; a stage when it is being actively debugged, or the beta stage; and finally a stage when all important bugs have been removed, or the stable stage. Intermediate stages may also be recognized. The stages may be formally announced and regulated by the project's developers, but sometimes the terms are used informally to describe the state of a product. Conventionally, code names are often used by many companies for versions prior to the release of the product, though the actual product and features are rarely secret.

The game has been designed now guys, the beta version is to test for bugs glitches and imbalances. Not to showcase old models and low graphics.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's not even out yet and you're calling it a rushed product?


On topic though, it doesn't look like a big improvement right now.

It's been delayed three times now because Bungie felt it wasn't ready. How is that rushed? Also, Halo 2 on HD? This is Halo 3's BETA and it's looking alot better than Halo 2's finished product (one look at the Hi-Res version of the BETA leak and you would see this).

Ignorance FTL!

[rand0m]

The jump between Halo 2 - Halo 3 isn't as impressive as it should be.

Just look at the jump from the UT2004 (http://www.gameogre.com/reviewdirectory/upload/Unreal%20Tournament%202004.jpg) too UT2007 (http://www.faceless.at/resources/blog/images/erinnerungen/ut2007.jpg?warning_url)

or GTA3 (http://www.videogameradio.com/images/large/gta3_large.jpg) too GTA4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gtaivtrailer.png)

[Nocturnal]

I think it's a good sized jump, considering the level H2 was at. I'm confident the new graphics will be as good as they need to be. Gameplay is my biggest concern, they made some poor choices in H2 (dual wields, GayPenisRifl..I mean battle rifle)

There's a 6 year difference between those two. There's 3 years between Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Thats what I'm saying, the graphics look better. But what about the gameplay? Is there anything new added?

Well its been done on PC.

On the console world, Halo was the first to bring physics and texures like that. Lets not forget 16 player mayhem. Before that was 4 player on other consoles.

Halo 2 set standards again because at the time, what other console shooter accomplished ONLINE PLAY the way Halo 2 did. Let alone the dual weilding which was something fanboys bragged even to PC gamers.

So yes graphics did play a HUGE role at the time. So did online play. Now that a ton of competition is embracing this, Halo 3 has a lot of expectations to fulfill considering how much of a step its previous installments have made.

A fair amount, weapons, vehicles, shield grenades, landmines, new map options, etc. They claim the gameplay will feel more like halo1, focusing on melees/shooting/grenades. H2 lost points because at first it was all about the dual wielding, and then (now) it's all about the battlerifle. There are still quite a few secrets surround that stuff too.

The H2 online system itself was leagues above the PC model even. I know the PC guys swear up and down that they like the server model, but it's rubbish in my view. It takes work to find servers, hope they are up, join games at the last second only to find them full, join games where the guys just sit there all day and play the same map, plus hacking issues etc.

With the optimatch system I could turn on the box, and jump right into the action, with the playlist of my choice. It handled all the ping issues, game setups, and found players of comparable skill. No game has yet come close to this level of quality.

this thread is turning to a halo love orgy.

[Niggler Jenkins]

I wouldn't even care if Halo 3 looked like Paper Mario, I'd still buy it just because of the storyline. Halo 2 left me wanting to finish the damn fight. M$ and Bungie better do a good job, though. Halo 3 is the reason I and many people chose to get an XBOX 360, and we do expect next-gen graphics. If Halo 3 turns into a disappointment, I will switch to PS3 and never look back.

I say we should leave this topic alone and wait for the FINISHED product. If it still sux, then you guys can bitch all you want about M$ and Bungie.

EDIT: If people want "Gears of War" type graphics, then we should probably look at "Gears of War" beta pics and compare those to the "Halo 3" beta pics. And before anybody says anything, I know they're two very different games but I think it's worth cheking out.

[psychomonkey62]

ps.halo coders are lazy bastards (just look at the quad in halo2) oh yeah that's right WHAT QUAD!

Ummm.......they couldn't think of a real reason to include it, so they decided to not implement it into the game. That's being sensible, not lazy. Actually read some things at bungie.net. It might help.


Yes, and no more cheesey Battletrifle

It'll still be in the game.

come on Random, don't be shy..... halo knows what you like :boink:





It'll still be in the game.

seems like it will be nerfed, and not central to play
