Official Halo 3 Discussion Thread (round 3)

Would love that boxart if anf only if they tone down on the MSGS logos.waynehead895

Yeah those are just water marks, I doubt it'll be in the final version.

So guys, whats different this time around? I have yet to play the beta.

in the beta its 3 new maps, the ability to save movies of the match you just played, new weapons, equipment, weapons alot more balanced and if you can get into the custom lobby a hell of alot of things to do to the game.

in the full game for multiplayer theres different skins for the character, infection mode, 4 player online co-op, rumoured map editor, alot more new maps, vehicles, weapons etc, more refined film options and more.

sounds like it's same game again to me.

It can sound like anything you want it to sound like. If you play it, you'll feel the difference. I believe this beta to be far better than Halo 2. I can't go back to Halo 2 multi after this.

...4 player online co-op was in halo1 and in halo2? being able to record and save your games and share them with friends isnt new to console gaming? hmm...

I don't really like how it's blocking part of the title(call me picky), it's like we're suppose to know what it is. Gawsh.

Here you are, keep in mind it's only a possible final version, not confirmed.

is Halo 3 running on 60 or 30 fps?Mystery_Writer

Its 30, that 1080p at 60fps rumor was debunked.

Do you still believe Halo 3 SP will look like this?

Considering the campaign is going to be graphically more impressive than the multiplayer for a variety of technical reasons, and the multiplayer still has graphical improvements to undergo before release, I'm saying yes.

I still believe in this article: http://nikon.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=101

:o The new spartans look absolutely amazing. I agree now with that guy from ages ago who said halo 3 only didn't look that different because unlike halo 2 it lacked the new suit of armour. Now that they have the three different models, it looks badass. Especially the guy with the small, star-wars style helmet. It looked amazing.

And the brute chopper? :o They must have some huge maps for that thing.

Just in case:

• Brute Chopper
• Customized Spartans
• Shrine

We don't really know how many different models of Spartans there will be, so far we've seen 3.

3. http://image.gamespotcdn.com/gamespot/images/2007/130/926632_20070509_screen009.jpg

I am most excited though about Shrine. Its the largest map ever in a Halo game. That counts Combat Evoled on the PC, which had an enormous map that would take you about 15 minutes to walk around on foot.

Indeed, I hope Halo 3 will be much better than the previous bunch. I quite enjoyed playing co-operative in Halo 2 with my friends! :)

After first seeing that banshee vid, I had to try flying to space myself. It was awesome. I hope they have something like that  in single player. BillGreen68

A real-time transition from outer space to planet side is a big rumor. That would be anesome inclusion.

Absolutely,if you actually take your time to look closely at the spartan models in the beta, besides the visor detail, they have just as much detail as the Master Chief in that pic and thats multiplayer.

So i've no doubt it'll look like that pic and probably better in the final version.

The Spartan models in the beta don't have really any textures on them.

Compare:

• With Textures
• Without Textures

and they still look great without textures 

A Canadian Newspaper has reported more on the armours seen in Gamepro mag, and has apparently confirmed that the different armours will give you different strengths in battle. For example a special close combat suit will give you better melee's, etc.

cool. i thought something like this would happen, although my prediction was that certain types of armour would give you Active camo and stuff. 

oh god. that better not interfere with normal modes if its true.

Don't like the sound of it? I think as long as it's well balanced it could work out really well. Plus, they've got to add SOMETHING or it's simply not going to get the same critical acclaim as the first two because it'll be too samey

Thats great, new strategy elements. So...you will first choose or make your new armor? Then you can choose sub-groups, such as close combat, vehicular, and that sort of thing? I wonder what features the sniper orientated model will feature.

They surely do mate, they're just not as prominent as the SP pics, honestly get a friend to stand stilll and a game, and zoom in (with your scope) on the character model and you'll see the detail that goes into it.

Yeah, there are some textures like scratches and stuff
