New halo 3 video terrible

Wow...since when do we base playing games purely on "how it looks"? If the game is fun and entertaining then that's what should matter. There's nothing wrong with how the graphics are and if you have read what everyone else has said, the game is still in the (let me bump this up so you can read it) ALPHA STAGES, A-L-P-H-A...S-T-A-G-E-S, there I spelled it for ya too, quit knocking on the game purely cause of the graphics. Still have half a year before the game is released anyway.

exactly i dont base games based on graphics, i still play GTA and that game doesnt have good graphics and still its better than most 360 games and i still like to play super smash brothers, or socom and those games were never good on their graphics part but they are still clasics 

[QUOTE="Soul_to_Squeeze"]man, i actually think the graphics arent that bad in the video. i think it looks pretty good, but maybe its just me. one thing i saw in the video though that im not sure if i will like, is that thing that makes u jump higher or somethin. it shows one player jumping up to a person shooting the turret and its pretty high off the ground. mrxb0x360

Thats the man cannon. It's the substitute for warps.

nah he means the portable grav lift pasue the vid at 0:23 and you'll see 

it was still alpha when they showed the first gameplay videos (remember the soldiers from Iraq who played them) If i'm not mistaken it was still 2006.

How long is alpha to them anyway if the beta test doesn't have any difference to the alpha videos I don't even know what going on to this game I'm hoping for this game to have a better graphics than what it has right now.

I'm OK if they release it on November though hopefully Mass Effect and GTA 4 will fill my appetite while it's on development

since when did graphics became blah blah.....

you guys talk like you judge a book by what's inside come on I  bet if I show some hot girls with no brains you'd do her

same with games this days I bet Gears of War wouldn't even have it's status without it's graphics.

games this days need good graphics to compete not just story even if its good 

The reason that no single player footage was shown is because its a MULTIPLATYER VID DOC!!! It even says so on xbl download and bungie.net. So if your complaining that there is nothing about single player its like complaing about no snow in the caribbean. Of-course there's no SP footage. Also i know you said you think the graphics aren't good but on the bottom left of the screen it says 4.11.05. HMMMM what could that mean??? Once they release the beta there will be up to to date graphics that will prove everyone that says the graphics are bad wrong.

I said that i wouldnt complain about the graphics or single player because it wasnt about single player and the graphics clearly werent near completion inthe video. I was complaingiing about the gameplpay. if you read my post you would knowe that

[QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"]I was not impressed by the video at all to be honest, the gameplay looks nothing new at all and looks really really rough, if that game is to come out this year they need to get a move on. Even in alpha stages games arent supposed to look like that.V4LENT1NE

well aside from the fact that game development changes w/ every generation. everyone thinks better graphics is caused by higher polycounts, wrong! polycounts are pretty much not even relivant anymore. ya sure those MC models are probably pretty high poly, but it's all about shader effects on top of shader effects now. you don't see raw geometry anymore, so yes that is acceptable as far as an alpha build goes because they just don't have all of the overlays and lighting models finished yet. and as for the way players move, for one your probably all use to it from halo 2 so don't complain, and 2, when making a sequile you have the added advantage of having old assets laying around. this means that the programmers and engineers can get everything working using old assets and new and improved code, while the animators and other artists can take there sweet ass time in making new and improved assets that just replace the "PLACEHOLDER" assets such as the death animations you saw in the vid doc. for school projects you know what we used for place holder character models.....CUBES OK, just straight up cubes. our class had an alpha build that was basicly cubes shooting at bad guys.

so realy don't complain, you all act as if Bungie owes you there life, blood sweat and tears and in all honesty, they don't owe you anything! they are making this game because they love to make great games, and if you don't like what you see so far, to bad suck it up and save the judgement for when the game comes out.

I wasnt complaining, its Halo fans that start getting all angry when you mention a valid point, that game is supposed be hitting shelves this year, that video looks very poor in terms of development time and how long they have to finish it. They need to get a move on or show us some better stuff to show that they are actually making genuine progress. And please dont give me lessons on games, I have tested alpha games before and know fine well what is acceptable quality, at the moment Halo 3 is looking poor. But yes it likely will look decent at the time of release, it has to.

Alright let's calm down. Look Halo 3 doesn't look incredible... yet. Keep in mind that the graphics used were from 2 ENTIRE YEARS AGO. Seriously, the graphics are from 6 months after Halo 2. It already looks good, the replay feature will be incredibly fun, and don't be surprised if Halo 3 looks great. Oh, good points about the old assets (hence my point about 6 months after Halo 2). 

I agree with the TC. I was undecided about getting Halo 3, but now that I have seen this vid.......I am 100% certain I will NOT buy this garbage. Same old gameplay.......blah blah blah.......booooooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnngggggggXero319

lmao, yeah right, you're not going to buy this game my ass...you're only kidding yourself.

HAHAHA!!!! ur a ****ing loser! all u've seen is months/year old footage of pre alpha stuff of a game that is no where near finished even now! and yet ur already saying ur not gonna get it cause the graphics rn't good enough or the gameplay LOOKS the same as halo 2 (which is still one of the best online games to date even tho it's been out for many years). im gonna send u a message when halo 3 comes out saying how stupid u r sitting at home playing gears while im having the time of my life on halo 3.

Agreed. I actually hated Halo2 but Halo3 is a must. I wouldent be able to have a 360 without Halo3. LOL I cant wait.

Yes, the graphics in this suck, yes, the AI is the same and so no gameplay is different.

That was the gameplay stuff in the 'Et Tu, Brute?' Vi Doc, what part of that is the same as Halo 2?! Watch the whole video and you'll see and hear how they've changed things, the whole Chieftain orders other AI thing. How the animations now show Brutes doing what they do best.

Halo is amazingly overrated anyways. Halo 3 will be Halo 2 with new gimmicks. SonicDivision

The main selling point for the Xbox is amazing overated? There's no way the Xbox would have sold so many consoles if not for Halo and Halo 2, I had to hit myself to stop buying a console just for those 2 games. 

The word "overrated" is overrated.

 Seriously, it means next to nothing.  I can point to any game and critique it to pieces.  There are no perfect games, there are no near perfect games.  There are fun, quality games that many people enjoy, and Halo is one of them.  If people are unimpressed with the Halo series, let alone Halo 3, that's their God given right.  But why would they expend energy on a forum that shouldn't interest them first place?

I really was expecting this game to top the single player of halo 1 and the multiplayer of halo 2 by bringing someething crazy and new into the mix. The trailer said nothing about single player so i wont mention it but the multiplayer looked so much like halo 2. the graphics im sure will be improved from that video upon release but the gameplay looked likre the same old thing. even the strange way halo 2 characters moved has been carried into this onezeldredz

so ehh.... you do realize this is halo 3 right? were you expecting their to be a new player available like t-rex or something?
