Quotes:

In the gloom of the base, Halo 3 doesn't actually look all that different from its predecessors -- sure, the Marines are a lot less blocky, but it's difficult to appreciate the game's visual enhancements in pitch darkness. Outside, though, it's a different story, and there's no question that Bungie is pushing the 360 hardware to create a damn good looking game. The fears left by the beta are clearly unfounded.

Many of Halo 3's most impressive effects are subtle, such as its use of HDR (high dynamic range) lighting to mimic the mechanics of the human eye -- go from darkness to sunlight and Master Chief's vision takes a moment to adjust to the glare. And unlike many next gen games, it's remarkably un-shiny; although metallic objects reflect light, matte surfaces like dirt and wood and stone are as dull as you'd expect.

Dull doesn't mean ugly in this case, though; the road to Tsavo highway is gorgeous, a path of reddish earth sprinkled with patches of grass and dappled with sun and shade from the trees lining the way. It's a straightforward path, surrounded on either side by rock, but more interesting is the massive ring-shaped wreckage strewn along the route. Your marine companions' chatter reveals this to be the New Mombasa orbital elevator, which was destroyed early in Halo 2 when the Prophet of Regret made a low-orbit hyperspace jump that annihilated the city. Now the wreckage stretches a thousand kilometers across the savannah, seemingly pointing the way to the Covenant occupying forces.


brute choppers As the name suggests, the Chopper resembles a motorcycle. And in a moment of dangerous literal-mindedness, it also has the ability to chop things into tiny pieces with its massive, bladed front wheels. The Chopper doesn't offer much in the way of cover for its driver, essentially being a gigantic wheel with an open seat on the back, but it's fast and incredibly deadly -- let one smash into the driver's side of your Warthog and you're likely to have a very dead Master Chief on your hands. Not that it needs to hit you to kill; it also sports a high-powered blaster that can be aimed like the Ghost's cannon.

On the other hand, should you manage to survive long enough to kill a Chopper driver -- no small order, given how much damage Brutes can soak up -- it's a damn fine ride.

Sweet! Didn't know for sure this was in, just had an inkling :)

There are going to be some mental saved films coming out of this. Just think of the crazyness of a 4 player Legendary battle on a huge scale raging over a large area for a second.

2007-08-01 02:13:09

Cool then. The game itself is looking awesome..........looks like a winner.

Finish The Fight Sept. 25th

Halo 3 Bitches!!!

Beware, Heretic is on the prowl!!!

Halo 3 is looking extremely packed beyond belief with stuff.

Forge, 4 player co-op, video editor, the popular multi, all 4 players can be as far as a mile away from eachother.

Epic singleplayer story and Master Chief is going to die :(

Don't ask any questions just shut up and buy Halo : Ghosts of the Onyx one of the greatest books ever.

pssh! more like electronic gay-ming monthly! amirite

After reading the new EGM article, I must say I am a little disappointed in Forge. It sounds interesting, but it's not a real map editor.. which is a bummer. I can't help but wonder if it's not to avoid damaging the image of premium content. A lame reason for the lack of a real editor, but it seems entirely likely to me.

Otherwise, good article, lots of new content.. and indeed.. this looks like it's turning out to be the console shooter to beat once again. Bungie sure knows their audience.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."
