It's probably from the German portal Eurogamer, http://www.eurogamer.de/

ah ok. I didn't know there were other sections to the Eurogamer website, my mistake.

New screen spotted at HBO in Harold Ryan profile I posted a ways back. Very similar to some on bungie.net, but definately new. I think it's pretty, the lighting and foliage in particular.

It just occured to me that all of the campaign screens so far on bungie.net are from the first level, Sierra 117.

id really like to know how we keep hearing accounts that claim halo 3 is kind of graphically underwhelming. to me that looks better than most games that are coming out this fall. does it look worse in motion? because i would think it looks even better in motion. or maybe im crazy.

 

[TDG]

It's called Eurogamer. Euro. Europe. People from other countries. Including stupid England. Why are you people surprised that people from other countries are doing things wrong?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Including stupid England.

Now you take that back.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Because on the Internet, writers have the luxury of clarifying, revising and fixing mistakes. I absolutely did, and still do when I see a lame comma splice or something else idiotic that I do over at Bungie.net -- sites shouldn't necessarily be scolded for making things more accurate or relevant, it's when they change things to cover something up, that it gets sketchy.

Absolutely, though they perhaps should have clarified that the impressions were based on a translation.

In its original form it came across completely uninformed and badly written, and as I said earlier I would have been critical of the article if had been for another franchise.

Including stupid England

I cry inside.

 

[TDG]

Now you take that back.

No. Give us the Falkland Islands back.

Looks nice.

All yours. Do what you want with the people on there.

 

[Mojovonio]

So when are we going to start seeing videos of SP?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

So when are we going to start seeing videos of SP?

I can't remember, did we officially see any at all before the Halo 2 release?

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Any chance of a 720 version? Pretty please?

Don't think so, but frankie has hinted at showing us something for Halo 3.

Including send a firing squad to kill the remaining british?

Hehe we don't know 100% sure everything is rendered at 720p... or if they pull a PGR...

maybe luke can adress it this afternoon?

Yes we do, the beta ran at 720p, stinkles confirmed in this thread both the SP and MP use the same engine and run at the same resolution. Then he got angry and threw Pernod around.

The guy at B3D you are referring to is trying to stir some shit up, based on a screengrab from the crappily encoded E3 video. Have you read the thread over there? Whenever someone asks him to use his same 'hypothesis' on another buffer grab he claims that it can't be done.

What thread?

The post here if you're awesome thread, I presume.

Still would be good to just say it out loud on the podcast. The FUD is killing me.

Jeesz FUD is my new buzzword.

 

[tombur]

No. Give us the Falkland Islands back.

Uhh, when did you have it in the first place? Or are you from Argentina?

I don't even know what it means, srsly :lol

I really hope this is the last time this is brought up.

Ug.

[Barnolde]

People doubting that Halo 3 is running in 720p? :lol That's like the only main requirement for a 360 game and I'm sure Bungie can handle it.

 

[TDG]

I like the little power button-looking thing. I wonder if the power button has three red rings when the gun overheats.

 

[itsgreen]

I really hope this is the last time this is brought up.

Ug.

I hope it also but did stinkles also say it ran 720p or did he implie it? They can pretty much change frame buffer resolution from and to anything.

 

[TDG]

I am Argentine.

Talk to Bizarre that game (PGR3) ran 640p or something like it.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

So on that subject, who's got Halo 3 inspired ignore list members?

 

[tombur]

The BETA ran at 720p native. Therefore the retail game should run at 720p.

 

[radrelic]

Of course we saw Halo 2 SP before release. It looked absolutely spectacular at E3 2003. Unfortunately for us, it was fake :lol

Spoiler

Yes I'm still bitter.

 

[Dirtbag]

I've got 2

If people are on your buddy list their posts should look different than everyone else.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Will we be able to choose bots of different skill level in Co-Op? I want a TJ as my bot if possible.

 

[Thermite]

I actually don't have anyone on my ignore list, I read what everyone has to say. if there happen to be trolls in any of the posts I read, I usually just chuckle and move on.

 

[Doodlebug]

Cool, what's different about buddy posts? Are they a different colour or something?

 

[EverSoTrendy]

PGR3 was a ****ing launch game. They even admitted it wasn't finished the way they wanted it to be. SHUT THE HELL UP about the 640p shit.

 

[Dirtbag]

that's something I've been meaning to do. i need to update my live friends list too.

 

[NJ Shlice]

I got rid of everyone on my Xbox live friends list that didnt have 360. I'm down to like 35 people. I love it

 

[NJ Shlice]

Not at all, thats the problem. I would want Ghaleon's posts to be black. Voc's posts to be Blue, and Urk's posts to be pink, Stinkles' a bloody red, Luke's would be the color of a long rifle

 

[Doodlebug]

Luke's would be the color of a long rifle

That joke never gets old. :lol

I need to do some serious housekeeping in preperation for halo3.
I don't need 30 party invites while im trying to play some matches with everyone here.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

I would want Ghaleon's posts to be black.

But you couldn't read the text...oh, I see what you mean

:lol

 

[Stinkles]

Jesus, did EG put it's foot in it's mouth yet again? That preview was talking about how barren and empty the landscape was on the highway. Does that sound like at all like a Halo 2 level?

To be fair to EG - tons of parts of Tsavo Highway are "pure" driving bits, so you can build up speed, jump stuff and so on. They're supposed to be devoid of encounters so you can enjoy bits of driving between the set-piece battles.

 

[Razoric]

Yeah I'd say it's time to purge my friends list in preparation for this beast.

Anyone who's been offline for over 30 days is toast.

It's the middle of africa for god's sake! They should go see what's out there now.

Look a tree!

Well actually all of the default posts are black. Ghaleon's would be the color of kindness. Urk's a sandy vaj so he stays pink. Ghaleon could be orange.

 

[TDG]

We were on that subject?

So, what do you mean? Trolls and negative people about Halo 3?

 

[Astr00]

Could anyone clarify what exactly we know, or are supposed to know about Forge at this point? I remember some time ago when Frankie mentioned a feature in Halo 3 that would potentially make both High Impact Halo and MLG players very happy. That would have to be Forge, right? The High Impact Halo thing I get, and in a way MLG too, but how much will we actually be able to change? I know we can add, remove and move weapons on the map, and also set respawn timers. I also think I read something about clip sizes for the weapons? That part fits perfectly, but what about ... damage modifiers for every weapon in the game? Has this been mentioned? Imagine the possibilities! No one would ever complain about a certain weapon being over- or underpowered, even the guys who want a three headshot pistol would get just that. I can't think of a drawback to this either, as it'll only be available in Forge or custom games, if I understand correctly, and you're able to save the things you've changed in Forge.

So ... is it possible? Has it already been mentioned, perhaps? Or something similar? Do you even care? I'm excited just thinking about it, and it would certainly be in the Halo 3 spirit of offering almost every possible customization option. I went ahead and got myself an avatar too, hoping that my post would get noticed.
