Please, REREAD my comments before making a fool out of yourslef. If that was trolling (and it wasn't, believe me I can troll Halo but not untill it launches) that you was so kind to point out then why DIDN'T you point out these:

What's your problem? Get your lips off of Bungie's butt, will you? Since when was a valid concern for a game that I'm looking forward to considered trolling?
I'm getting the game day one, I just would like to see a really, really, basic feature included in the game.

I agree with this. Halo 2 wasn't a pixel orgy for your eyes, more like a "menage a trois". Parts of Halo 2 maps are very barren, and inside a lot of base structures not a whole lot was going on. I guess if a person was used to Playstation 2 games, Halo 2 looked spectacular, but if you were used to X-Box visuals the graphics in Halo 2 weren't mind blowing.
Now looking at these maps, you can really see a large increase in detail in the base structures. The jump in visual fidelity over Halo 2 is quite large.
To me Halo 3 looks fantastic from these shots. The graphics have got lots jazz. And the maps seem to have plenty breathing room when it comes to the map size.

Small magazine scans suddenly equal Halo 2.5 for MP, even though Bungie continually says that most everything is a place holder graphic?
I got faith, it's still a bit from release.

Yeah but it already looks like crap. Bungie should cancel it and make a Marathon sequel.
Also you'd kiss Bungie's ass too if it tasted as sweet as a tangerine's.

yeah the maps seem real big, and the inclusion of the cannon thing and new vehicles to facilitate more speedy travel. Alot of signs point to the max players being upped.

hmmm when sites said that the graphics weren't finished and they were using lots of place holders they weren't kidding. looks like halo 2 to me.

Make with the comparison pics then. So much talk going on and no action.

I do expect a significant graphical upgrade when I shell out for new and better hardware yes. And this is not it. Sure, a lot can change in a year. But as it stands right now, it just doesn't look even remotely impressive.

I've got a feeling we'll see shit a lot more impressive than Crysis on Xbox 360 and PS3 the coming years. Developers are only scratching the surface.

just because i didn't post comparison pics, does not mean that I haven't compared for myself.
OK, I'll translate some tidbits from the (partially readable) interview part
On plot twists
"Halo 3 will contain more plot twists than any other game in the series" --Jaime Griesemer
On Gears of War being competition
"We've played lots and lots of multiplayer and some singleplayer, and yeah, it's really good. But it's also quite a bit different from what we're doing. I realize that a lot of people are concerned that Halo 3 and GoW are going to compete for the same audience, but I think that when people get to play, they'll realize how different the games are. Gears is a much slower game where stragegy and cover plays a bigger part." --Jaime Griesemer
On graphics
"A lot is still missing in this build. Weather- and water effects are missing, and most of our HDR isn't in there yet. We're still at alpha stage, but when everything is in place, Halo 3 will be the best X360 has to offer." --Brian Jarrard
"We definitely have another strategy than Epic Games when it comes to graphics. We'll never engulf our game environments in lots of details like that. GoW looks absolutely fantastic, but we want to avoid compromising Halo's unique visual style. That's why we're making a clean, sharp game as opposed to one with insane amount of details." --Brian Jarrard
"There are many ways to convey emotion. Graphics is not the most important one." --Brian Jarrard
On multiplayer and bots
"Multiplayer has always been important, but it's developed in a different way which makes it look bigger for every game. We have a base that we always build the MP part on, whereas the SP mode practically has to be built ground-up every time. Xbox Live also made MP in Halo 2 even more important." --Brian Jarrard
"A lot of people ask us about bots. They think that the AI in Halo was pretty damn good, and would work well in MP as well, but it's really not that simple. The enemies in Halo are optimized for encountering the player in large numbers. They would be a lot worse at abstract thought AI like 'I have to defend my flag' and so forth. In short, to create bots for Halo would be an immense undertaking, and we rather put that time into making new levels, weapons and netcode." --Jaime Griesemer

Games like UT do a good job with bots. But they're never going to do it as long as they are selling XBL subscriptions.
This is the problem I'm having with XB360 and PS3. Systems are more expensive than ever now, and we're seeing them hit the wall technologically earlier than I can remember it happening in previous hardware cycles.

well i guess if you compare the blood gultch shot to this shot of halo 2 you can see vast improvements. http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/482/482228/img_2453018.html

Thanks for the translation. That is the only sentence that a lot of people even need to read.

The 360 is no where close to hitting the wall technologically and the PS3 isn't even out yet. trust me what you are seeing now in titles is just barely scratching the service of what developers will be able to do.

Wow looks like the XBDF are out in force.
Seems to be said in the Sony topics all the time.
Anyway can't see much in the pics, I did expect to see something very different though, I can understand the Halo 2 HD comments.

When's the last time I heard a developer use the "alpha stage" excuse?
Oh yeah! PERFECT DARK ZERO
Hyoushi said:
Uh, I guess I can understand that bot defense, but it still seems really weak.
Anyway, everything else sounds great and there's really NO REASON to be trolling this game. I guarantee that Halo 3 will rock. People in here actively hating on it are going to miss out on a great next-gen experience.

So if Halo 3 had good bots nobody would want to play online?
Clearly you have a dizzying intellect.
