I'm getting really worried about halo 3. After seeing
these movies i'm beginning to think that halo 3 singelplayer will have the exact same
game mechanic as halo 1 and 2 (Driving Section, Shooting section).
i havent seen jack shit of the entire game but these thinks are exacly the same as
halo 1 and 2 where is the evolution in these game mechanics.
My god i already played HALO 1 AND 2 i dont want the exact same thing again.

I remember the first time it was brought up and everyone was quoting the picture and laughing or saying "wow", and I had no idea what you guys were talking about. I was trying to find anything in the picture that could be of note: was it the teammate arrow? The motion blur? The sparks? The... wait, what, what's that!? Is that? Oh my.urk said:

That ODST pic is fucking amazing. Ive seen the action short and think they look fantastic in motion. Dont know why everyone keeps saying it looks stupid.

I heard Halo 3, just like Halo 1 and Halo 2 will consist of some shooting, then a cutscene, then some shooting, mixed in with some driving, some shooting, driving, some flying and then some shooting, spruced in with some more cutscenes, then master chief gets killed THE END.ape2man said:

At least they're tightening up the graphics on level 3, it'll be very tight.

See, if you stick your neck out and have a valid point, you'll be fine. But when you stick your neck out with a completely nonsense idea for which you cannot support, you'll get decapitated. That's how it works.

O god no, its more that i was expecting some significant variable inserted in
the game play. And i don't mean the bubble shield or the trip mines or grav boost. Its just that I'm seeing the exact same driving sequence i have played in halo 1 and 2
and the exact same combat sequences that i played in halo 1 and 2.
Ok the bubble shield, trip mines, grav boost, detachable gun emplacements are a nice twist to an existing game mechanic but i don't think its big enough. I hope I'm wrong i really do, i fear i wont be.

I don't get why you expect the game mechanics to deviate significantly from the past. It's a first person shooter. It's Halo. You walk and drive around shooting things; it's how it works!
As for the same combat sequences you finally have sort of a valid concern (valid in the sense that it makes sense). However, if you've been paying attention to Bungie's own descriptions of combat, the increased power of the AI, combined with more randomisation in enemy behaviour, weapons, and types will mean that things never play out the same way twice.

If you are expecting "revolutionary" like say from Resident Evil 3 to Resident Evil 4, it ain't gonna happen cause things weren't broken and needed to be flushed like in RE series at the time.ape2man said:
Halo works great as was, and fans and critics are looking for evolutionary improvements, not a damn reset.
New videos have gone up on Gametrailers for the Halo 3 Pax event, you get all 3 matches cut to the interesting bits (you see the flamethrower really clearly, firebombs, the mauler).
http://www.gametrailers.com/
All 3 videos are right on the front page.
Edit: Holy crap, the flamethrower is extremely powerful!

I don't think you were sticking your neck out, just making either an A) uninformed statement, or B) trolling. I'm assuming it was the former, so there's no chopping off going on here. If you've paid any attention at all to the content and features announced for Halo 3, and the ways in which the gameplay has evolved, there's no way you can make the statement you did. The gameplay is decidedly Halo, which is perhaps why you thought it was familar. Driving around in a warthog killing Covenant is bound to look a little familar.ape2man said:
And I'm reasonably certain that you will get the feeling that you are playing a decidedly new Halo game when you place the disk in your 360.
Yay, been waiting for that.RPS37 said:

I get what you're sayin' but it's a bit like not picking up Metroid because it'll just be shootin' and collectin' and rollin' into a ball. Those are the things that make that game kick ass.
The core gameplay is going to be pretty similar, but everything has been turned up to eleven, slathered in chocolate, and then lit on fire.

Why in all these videos do people just run past the good weapons, or pick up the new stuff, never fire it and swap it for a rocket launcher which they usually whiff with? It drives me nuts, is it that hard to fire a mauler! People have picked them up a few times now. Just pull the damn trigger.

i never knew that. but the msn link had the full version and in hdDrBo42 said:
This was a competition for $5,000 in cash and an all-expense paid trip to TGS, played in front of an audience of thousands. And Gabe mentioned these guys were not big Halo players:Dirtbag 504 said:
They were probably grabbing what they were familiar with - what they knew to be effective - because in that kind of a game you don't want to get killed while experimenting with a new but inappropriate to the situation weapon.
So, yeah. Cut'em some slack. Heck, as familiar with Halo as I am I'd probably have just dropped the controller from my sweaty, trembling hands with a clatter under those circumstances. :lol

JEBUS, the flame thrower is absolutely UNFAIR close up! :lolFFChris said:

Thanks Paul, I didn't link directly because I didn't think Gametrailers did proper links, I though it all went off the normal page, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, all those videos are worth a watch, for the HD if anything.
Edit: Looks like they are playing a Guardian varient called OmeGuardian, setup for the event. I think that the flamethrower has probably been placed there just for the event.
