For those of you (like me) who were disappointed by the trailer, this post sums it up pretty well:

I lol'd

Here's an excerpt.

A trailer which starts off in a pretty kick-ass way: a futuristic city is about to be bombarded with spacey-droppy things that cause massive destruction. The bad news? The city is New Mombasa, and the "game" is actually a Halo 3 expansion pack. So, if you felt a disturbance in the force this morning, as if a million Xbox fanboys suddenly cried out in unison, "Meh." you'll know why.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

Interesting.

Not to derail, but I'd probably rate things like this:

Campaign gameplay:
Halo 3 > 1 > 2

Main Story:
Halo 2 > 1 > 3

Expanded Fiction (Terminals, ARG's, Game chatter):
Halo 3 > 2 > 1

Multiplayer Experience
Halo 1 >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3

Multiplayer Maps
Halo 1 >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3

Historical Impact
Halo 1 > 2 > 3

All things considered
Halo 1 > 2 > 3

Fixed. Just give me Halo 1.5 on XBLA

[RBH]

I'm pretty excited for this. New Halo-related stuff is always good news to me.

Now there are a couple of things that I'll be interested in finding out as more info is rolled out about this Halo 3 campaign expansion:

1) Will this be exclusively sold on XBL, or will it appear at retail as a separate game?

2) Will this expansion require the Halo 3 disc?

Halo 1 maps :lol

Chiron, Rat Race, Boarding Action?
I didnt even really like prisoner, but apparantly that's a popular one among the masses.

Halo 1 maps are hardly in the same league as Halo 2 maps.

Hang em High
Chill Out
Blood Gulch (omg, why would they ever get rid of this map)
Damnation
Prisoner
Rat Race

Classics. If Halo 1 was online on live, guarantee that it would be #1. I would get my pistol back and online gaming would be at its best again

Xbox Connect was a great experience before Xbox Live got started.

Exactly. You countdown to a reveal, not to yet more teasing of something you've already been "teasing" about for months. Jesus.

That said, I'd rather have a full ODST based game than an expansion, but this will do. Depending on length/content of course. But I'm sure we'll be teased some more for months until they finally have a countdown for that reveal. *rollseyes*

It's easy to guarantee something that has no chance of happening, isn't it?

Stop living in the past.

Halo 3 gameplay is head and shoulders above Halo 1 anyway.

ok, that was a little crazy of me, no problem, i can admit that. But it would be very popular.

Not gonna happen. Lack of HDD, stupendous sweet amounts of HDR, saved films, etc.

Not true. Halo 3 MP gameplay is a broken version of Halo 2 MP gameplay. At least in controllability. I have no problem with the features and rankings and all that. It's just...different. I have tried to get used to it...I have given it months, and I will still play it. But I just can't get the feeling back that I used to have for Halo MP.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I really hope we don't have to stay in the dark on this for too long. Give me some info man!

 

[Firestorm]

4 - 8 player co-op and I'll buy =)

 

[FrankT]

Yea, I wonder how long we will be on the hook until a gameplay sample. Where is Luke hiding, heh. Podcast I'm sure cannot be too far off no less.

There should be a healthier stream of non-cryptic info about his project now that it's been teased. I'd be patient though, it's Bungie.

Hopefully Luke can clear up some questions...

It's a fucking TEASER trailer. Some of you don't understand that... Is this like the first teaser trailer you've ever seen?????? Stop whining about it. Learn some patience. More is to come.

I'll take the Halo 1 pistol anytime, but that's not what is wrong with Halo 3 MP. Just feels broken, control wise.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Given that this looks to be "darker and grittier" and within an urban setting, I wonder if Bungie will drop the need for two framebuffers to preserve the dynamic range, and just go for one 720p buffer and AA. I'd like that.

Thanks.


Wow, totally underwhelmed. So Frank leaves and now this stupid shit. Announce something or don't. WTF.

My Bungie-fandom has decreased significantly over the past few months.

Spoiler

Also, thanks for taking out Rocket Race assholes

*moves Blizzard and BioWare up a notch*

They did announce something...

Oh yeah? What's it called? Halo 3?

valhalla valhalla valhalla

SWEEEEEEEEEET

 

[Wizman23]

Ah, so, instead of saying something at E3 MS wanted to take away from LBP hype?

LOL. I don't think MS is worried about LBP. If it sells 1 million copies it will be a HUGE success.

 

[The Lamonster]

u guys are a bunch of wet pantied whiny babies

No. This is called "cool video game devs turn into Peter Molyneux."

 

[Trasher]

I would say that when Bungie releases some info saying there is a "new Halo 3 campaign experience", it pretty much sounds like they are announcing a new Halo 3 campaign experience. But that's just me.

If you don't even have a name, there is no announcement. Period.

Anyway, I am excited and I do think the game will be cool, but recently it seems like Bungie is starting to act like they're the hottest thing under the sun and all their fans will just eat this shit up. It's like that article said - Bungie has been playing this shit up for months and months like it's "alarm-clock" worthy, when actually it's not AT ALL.

Come on dude..seriously.. what ever this turns out to be..it will KNOCK the SOCKS off all of us

 

[Blueblur1]

Absolutely, I did.
I thought the Arbiter made halo 2, but I am in the minority here.

We agree then. Halo 2's campaign is so much fun and the story truly is epic. At first I wasn't a fan. I was one of those people who would say "Halo: CE was better" but eventually I started looking at all the nuances present in the campaign and really started to enjoy it. The story really sucked me in and the mission encounters were fantastic. I was still playing Halo 2's campaign from day one until the night before Halo 3's release.

 

[Keikoku]

Not gonna happen. Lack of HDD, stupendous sweet amounts of HDR, saved films, etc.

Many 360 games are looking better than Halo 3 and are less aliased. Same for the resolution, they can do it.

Also do we know if it's going to be a retail game or a simple DLC ?

Bungie may have hyped it too much by the way... but still it's great news. Still hope for a XLA title !

 

[Hypertrooper]

I think it is a DLC. When don't have XBL you can purchase this on a disc like Halo 2 Multiplayer map pack and you transfer it to you Harddrive =)

It's not their fault though. Remember, Bungie wanted to release this at E3, and Don Mattrick put a stop to it. So you can't really blame Bungie. If it was up to Bungie we would have seen this months ago.

 

[cluto]

You wanked to the teaser?









Ew.

"This" is nothing. Nothing was announced. We have no details. 'Halo 3 campaign expansion' means next-to-nothing. Are you guys seriously happy with the build-up and what you got this morning? Do we have to wait through more weeks and months and codes and hints and countdowns to get a name and gameplay details? And even more for a release date?

I'm really trying to not sound like a troll, but this announcement was extremely disappointing for someone who considers themselves a pretty big Bungie fan. When there's a new Bungie game on the shelves, let me know.

It's not that cut and dry. They can't just 'do it'. There are severe technical limitations that prevent them from achieving 720p with 2xAA. Even the mighty GT5: Prologue didn't live up to that standard. In large part it's due to the excessive (yet sweet) use of HDR and lack of HDD.

The Halo 3 engine is the most advanced FPS engine on 360 IMO. Lack of AA is really it's only weak point.

You have no idea if that is the case or not. If the gameplay and storyline are up to par per the usual distinction that comes with the Bungie name then fine by me that is all I have to say. Bungie is no Peter M by any stretch of the imagination either. I'm not really sure how one could even parallal the two either.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I thought it was a new learning curve but something is gone from that Halo MP Magic.

 

[Falagard]

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I thought it was a new learning curve but something is gone from that Halo MP Magic.

It's the maps, especially the original set that came with Halo 3, not including the new ones. They weren't nearly as good as Halo 2's maps, so it drove a lot of people off.
