Okay, Halo 3 has to have achieved some sort of award for most topics created about it.

Apparently you can teach an old Grunt new tricks -- this time around, they're not afraid to pilot vehicles, making for tough situations like this Ghost ambush.

Way to not have played Halo 2 1up.

[Buttonbasher]

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky.

*Faints*

[Seven Is Darker]

These screenshots that 1up has... they are amazing.

[Tieno]

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky. *Faints*

What the fuck, that's fucked up.
In almost all of the screens where you see sky, it's always pretty nifty.

Some of the screenshots are amazing, but some of the effects Halo 3 uses are lost or don't shine as much in most screenshots.












With added Banshee:

[Sean]

holy ****

[HandMeDownClown]

Halo 3 is getting "special coverage"???



Damn, I hate Halo. Not because they're bad games, (they're actually great games, just overrated) but because you hear about them all the damn time. You can't escape them, no matter how hard you try.

[armubaba]

Man, I fucking LOVE the new multiplayer Elite models. So badass.

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky. *Faints*

HOLY SHIT. BUNGIE OWNS ME AND MY PANTS.

[Son of Godzilla]

Although the flag can be hefted in a manner remarkably similar to that of the Gravity Hammer, only one of them is a devastating melee weapon. Hint: It's not the one the Red Spartan is carrying.

Wasn't the flag ohko?

[drohne]

so yeah, i'm not seeing any references to direct feed campaign footage in ign's coverage schedule

fuck it, game's almost out anyway

those clouds look pretty awesome -- don't want to read about the level tho

[UnholySpectacle]

WATCH THE VIDEOS NOW!!! ZOMG. Everything looks so polished now. The movies with MP matches made me pee a little.

[Gribbix]

Are the headlamps new? I don't recall ever seeing them in use before.

[Zozz]

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky. *Faints*

pretty fucking epic pic right there

[Masenkame]

Elephant look amazing. Now that's a tank. And I'm really liking those Elite models.

[Sean]

That is the flashlight...

[Gribbix]

That is the flashlight...

Yeah, but was it always on his helmet?

[Son of Godzilla]

I think pretty much everyone is expecting something from this week's bungie weekly update given that it coincides with an event at PAX or something.

[Wollan]

I would like to own a Elephant.

[Eric WK]

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky. *Faints*

Whhhhhhhhaaaaaat?!

Simply incredible.

Get that photo in the OP STAT.

[Sean]

Yeah, but was it always on his helmet?

I'm pretty sure it was on his helmet in at least one of the two games. I think it was like that Halo 2.

It was previously one light instead of two like in that pic though. Hopefully that means the flashlight is not gimped like it was in halo 2 (damn thing died in 2 seconds where it was nearly useless).

[Sai]

Yeah, but was it always on his helmet?

Yes... Farther up, on one side, though(iirc).

[Tieno]

Nevermind

[Rlan]

Woah, is Forge essentially SourceForts?



I always wanted to try that, but there were either few or no servers in Australia for it.

[Son of Godzilla]

Now that's some fucking escarpment.

[Borys]

The Elephant :O

[zam]

I'm really psyched for Bioshock but with each little morsel of info about Halo 3 just reminds me of how long I'm going to be playing Halo 3. Not only what seems to be an epic campaign (with 4-player co-op no less) but I'll be playing the multiplayer for a loong time after the game hits (if the beta was any indication).

So awesome.

Absolutely. I just really need to find ways to take my mind off the wait. This is going to be excruciating.

[OverHeat]

Bungie are graphics GOD confirmed!!!!

[Buttonbasher]

That aspect alone is going to last me 10,000 hours

Also I think the sky reminds me of Halo CE level: Halo.

[Sean]

[EverSoTrendy]

Hey Bungie, thanks for shitting on every other development team. The bar has been raised AGAIN.

[zam]

Absolutely. I just really need to find ways to take my mind off the wait. This is going to be excruciating.

Hopefully Bioshock and the CoD4 beta will kepp me preoccupied. Not that this beginning flood of Halo 3 media is helping..

Also, I find myself playing more and more Halo 2 lately, that takes the edge off somewhat

[Yoboman]

Very pretty

The lighting looks a lot softer and more natural than at E3

[FunkyMunkey]

FUCK



MY PANTS

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Holy crap. Excitement....building......

[Thunderbear]

Jesus. Freaking. Christ. That. Sky. *Faints*

Yeah that sky is really nice. I am looking forward to playing Halo 3, even though I am not sharing the same enthusiasm as say for Mass Effect. Good to see some single player stuff.

[Acosta]

Fantastic sky, really want to start playing.

[Hammer24]

Best sky/heaven in a game confirmed!

[rakka]

GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR

or at least mine.

[Kuroyume]

Too much to fap over, but not enough fap juice left... NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Tieno]

Too much to fap over, but not enough fap juice left... NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

oh god

[AppleMIX]

I'm pumped, all I need to know now is what is making it in the game that hasn't been shown to the public.

[Eric WK]

GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR or at least mine.

Yup. I flirted with BioShock and it's incredible, but wow, I should've known better. Halo 3 = Game of Eternity.

[Foil]

Damn, can't wait to play this.

[MaX_PL]

i'm gonna have to buy CE again so I can play the campaigns of CE and Halo 2. i'm actually interested in playing Halo 3 co op campaign so i guess I should know a bit about the Halo story.

with that said, i cant wait for multiplayer cause it should be amazing.

[Teppic]

The only thing I need to know now is if it supports four player offline multiplayer in split screen.

Does it?

[Eric WK]

The only thing I need to know now is if it supports four player offline multiplayer in split screen. Does it?

Two max per console. But you can system link with two other people on another console.

[zam]

Two max per console. But you can system link with two other people on another console.

Isn't it only two per console for co-op? I think the regular multiplayer supports four players per console.
