Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL

[Sethos]

Hey,

Well i figured we kinda need this thread, now more and more information keeps surfacing every day,

we're closing in on the release ... So i thought we needed a proper General Discussion thread :)

Gonna start the thread off, with an Ingame Forge showing! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/98889.html

[Emn1ty]

So far, all I have to say is that my doubts about the graphics being better than gears (not them being bad) have been thrown out the window with the flood of "leaked" content. I am pretty sure I will be content when I pick this up on the 25th.

[Green_Eye]

Im with him^

Graphics for me are most enjoyable and best looking right now... again this is my oppinion :)

And your right we did need this thread :D

Happy Discussions :laugh:

Well, gears of war seemed a lot more shiny.

I think GOW was too shiny. Halo 3 has a more realistic feel to the environment in my opinion. But then again, 7 foot spartains are kinda unrealistic to begin with.

Forge looks like fun

Lol, the Gears Of War characters weren't exactly small either. :p

But I get your point. I think it looks ridiculously awesome! I never really expected much from the graphics, I always thought it looked okay. But what I've seen from the single player footage so far, absolutely rocked my socks off.

It really looks a whole lot better than I had ever dreamed of. :p

Now to get enough money to buy myself an Xbox360 in the next month. And Halo 3 ofcourse. :p

The brute chopper best game vehicle evar?

Indeed.

You can float around as the monitor... thats kick ass.

Let's see how the Hornet is first! :rofl:

[madd-hatter]

This game is so fun that just thinking about it at work and all the awesome little things I'm going to do while playing it makes my day.

Forge imo looks a bit poor, it's looks like it's going to boil down to who can spawn the most weapons and tanks then roll over the opposition.

I'll be more interested in custom games with friends. Still an epic wait till it's released though! :(

looks like you could have some fun custom games on forge though... 2v2, one person is a monitor and one a player. as long as you can trust the other people there could be some really fun rulesets there.

Speaking of the Flood..... I wonder what Bungie has up its sleeves with the parasite of doom death and destruction. I can just picture it now, the entire earth taken over by the Flood and only the MC is left to fend for himself. Btw, he still has a gun.

This thread has died off a bit huh :p

Anyways I found this cool video of a phantom being shot down in game. Watch here

Only 21/22 days to go!

[zerolimit]

Well I think Halo 3 looks awsome! Then only thing is that the game play has alot to do with it! I know alot of people say its awsome but we will have to wait and see! The halo3 beta wasn't that diff. then halo2 but like I said we need to wait till i comes in and we all play it!

wow, thats interesting. i hope they make destroyable phantoms in single player, although it could ruin some of the gameplay if you destroy the phantoms (especially if you're glitching off map where they just sit often) before they put down all their troops...

that map also looks quite cool, anyone got any idea which one it is? i haven't kept too up to date on all the halo news recently and evidently missed that one.

I was more interested in the guys in the background with jetpacks on ;)

The level is Tsavo highway.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Why they are nothing new. We saw the jet packs in halo 2 :)

[Samboini]

True, but they are still cool!

[addc182]

maybe cooler still if they're another X button toy

[Eat68]

So does anyone know if the troop transport Hog is on customs?

[goji]

I'm sure with Forge anything is possible. I am anxiously hoping that we can decide whether or not vehicles can be destructible or not. How cool would that be to vicariously play Halo through Halo 3!

[Samboini]

So does anyone know if the troop transport Hog is on customs?

I would strongly think it is. After all on levels like Sandtrap you can spawn every vehicle! Correct me if i'm wrong.

[Matrix XII]

I still have to preorder this, I can't pry myself away from Bioshock though :|

[halcyoncmdr]

I can't wait for forge... There's going to be a lot of cool gametypes and movies coming out now :)
