Looks a shit-ton better without that stupid PDZ normal map on the old model. It now looks like metal, not gravel

 

[TheDuce22]

The scale looks insane. I hope it translates into gameplay. Encounters with dozens of enemys on a battlefield that large would be revolutionary for an FPS.

 

[Cheeto]

Did anyone notice that the rifle has a power button?

Looks better then the original SP shot, shittons better.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So...basically all that stuff Bungie said about campaign looking better than multi was true. I won't be the first to bump old threads. :lol

 

[a Master Ninja]

2) Look at all the ground territory in the background - it looks traversable. It also looks much larger than we ever saw in even Halo 1.

*prays*

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Bungie really is the master of the Bullshot, I'm not believing anything from them till I see it in a game running on a television set.

 

[Razoric]

I like the newer look better personally.

 

[tanod]

Sweet! Mjolnir never looked so good.

 

[Muppet345]

great, now they've made the in-game graphics look better than the cat helmet

BUNGIE SCREWS US AGAIN

 

[Francias Castiglione]

The colour is different (better imo) and the glossy pebble-dashing of the suit is not there.

Everything else seems very close and the overall look is a LOT more realistic.

 

[syllogism]

Yeah, everyone saying the cutscenes will look better than multi have been vindicated

 

[Gowans]

Hype Train.... Choo Choo

Who's on board?

SHOTGUN!

 

[FFChris]

I knew it... it was downgraded...


It looks mega sharp. I love the weapon texture and the AA. Everything else was downgraded

Uh oh, you might want to edit that word out.

 

[NJ Shlice]

I love everything except the visor. i mean is he always looking at the sun or something?

He's always looking at the mayhem that stands before him

 

[Scottlarock]

Wow, that look great! :O

 

[woodchuck]

Did anyone notice that the rifle has a power button?

Looks better then the original SP shot, shittons better.

:lol

 

[urk]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

hehe

 

[snoopers]

thekad> Lighting and bump texture look more subtle. Me like !

 

[Buttonbasher]

Oh and HOLD ME!

 

[ant1532]

It looks like it's early in the game since his suit is ever so fresh so clean. But I mean, where did he land on earth? It's all jungle-ish... Or is that another Halo....

 

[Speevy]

Master Chief went from being made of gold to silver.

 

[thekad]

Bungie really is the master of the Bullshot, I'm not believing anything from them till I see it in a game running on a television set.

Every developer/publisher does bullshots.

I mean it is not a dramatic downgrade, but I expected Bungie to keep its word to match the visuals of the E3 06 trailer.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Uh oh, you might want to edit that word out.

Mods don't enter Halo threads.

 

[Tieno]

GREEN HILLS CONFIRMED!!
That's one of Halo 1's staples I loved so so much.

:lol

Still looks good though.

doesn't look any worse too many. besides we haven't seen it in motion.

methinks someone is trollin

 

[Metalmurphy]

Uh oh, you might want to edit that word out.

Anyone with two eyes can tell the new suit textures is lower resolution, no bump/shaders on it, and the HDR was toned down. Why would i edit what i say?

I mean...

But like i said... it still looks great.

 

[RumFore]

Background textures look kind of low.

 

[clashfan]

New screen looks good but I still don't think it's as good as the e3 trailer.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Hey it's Metalmurphy. He's being negative about something X360 related.
::Feigns shock::

 

[Buttonbasher]

GREEN HILLS CONFIRMED!!

They did say Halo 3 was all about scale!

 

[traveler]

Well, all it says is in-game....so maybe my earlier post could be correct.

Killimanjaro multiplayer map?

Maybe I'm dreaming too much now...

 

[Gearharaden]

My god. These are the most polished textures and lighting effects I've seen since the beginning of this gen.

I'm impressed. By Halo. WHO KNEW?

 

[Orlics]

Holy shit, they NEED to demo this at E3.

 

[got2bekidding]

That screen shot is hot. This is definitely AAA+ Splooge Thread.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I like the newer look better personally.

Yeah. The model looks the same, and the texture quality is the same - but he's now a different color and more metalic, less glittery. I like.

what is he looking at?

Could it be that massive explosion Luke described the other day?

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Every developer/publisher does bullshots.

No, not all of them do, a lot of them yes but not all. That doesn't make it a valid excuse to do them though. Your mother:"If everyone was jumping off a bridge would you as well." Personally I'm sick of bullshots.

I mean it is not a dramatic downgrade, but I expected Bungie to keep its word to match the visuals of the E3 06 trailer.

Until we see this running on an actual piece of hardware, we won't really know how close it is. The memory of the Halo 2 video and then what Halo 2 ACTUALLY looked like is still fresh in my head.

 

[thekad]

Anyway, it will still be the best looking console game to be released this year even if it does not match the E3 trailer imo.

 

[Y2Kev]

I think that looks really nice. Does the gun have red rings? :lol

Something tells me you would complain about overly bright lighting and glossy bumpy armor if it looked EXACTLY the same.

 

[Mr Vociferous]

GREEN HILLS CONFIRMED!!
That's one of Halo 1's staples I loved so so much.

Absolutely! This is what I'm talking about!

I wouldn't put too much stock in what he's looking at. It could be water, it could be leaves, it could be placeholder. Who knows. It's looks really good, nah, it looks ****ing great.

 

[apotema]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

It's the GAFsplosion happening right now.

 

[Orlics]

I doubt this is a bullshot, you can see aliasing at certain places.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Those mountains looked a hell of a lot more promising in the smaller version. Maybe I just need to play this on a really tiny TV.

 

[op_ivy]

It looks like it's early in the game since his suit is ever so fresh so clean. But I mean, where did he land on earth? It's all jungle-ish... Or is that another Halo....

his right breast plate still has the damage markings from the announcement trailer and that is most def. africa

i prefer the look of the old announcement MC. looks more cg and better textured, but this isnt far off and looks more like a design change then a "downgrade"

 

[davepoobond]

is Halo 3 in 3rd person or something?

 

[tahrikmili]

I like the newer look better personally.

I think they look pretty much the same except that the armor's finish looks much less coarse.
