Wuhuu! Thanks!

Thanks a lot, downloading now. :D

Looks like servers are taking an hammering, will come back later.

Look pretty good though.

this vid looks better than the previous ones. but still they need to polish graphics like E3 trailer

haha

You are the original 'Bullet Magnet' Snoopers!

I love the part where you die on the mongoose and do a faceplant into a rock. Looks fun as hell!!

Well, there's hope that multiplayer stays conservative to keep the action going at all times with the networking aspect of it and stuff like that, and that they're going absolutely bananas with the solo campaign.

The E3 Announcement was showing the SINGLE player.

I thought people realised this ages ago?

Still a beta and this is multi single will look better :D

I don't expect halo 3 to impress people in the fashion they expect. Like Gears of War. I expect the amount of stuff going on and the epic environments will be what impresses people.

You're giving them too much credit



anyway, game looks fun. Can't wait to play the Beta next week.

Single-player cutscenes even.

At any rate the texture quality, character models and lighting all match the trailer so that's good, thank the maker Bungie included the movie editor, now we'll be able to capture some good pics for the inevitable comparisons.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt! :P

I advise people to go and READ the Bungie.net weekly updates.

Why would MP look half as good as SP? the only game i know that has worse graphics in MP then in SP is RB6: vegas. Games like GoW have the same graphics in MP as in SP so why wouldnt halo 3?

And the first 2 Halo games.

Halo could be Halo 2 graphics and still impress me way more than Gears. I'm really not concerned with the fidelity aspect of it, I'm interested in contrasting and awe inspiring set pieces. That's where Halo 1 was jaw dropping and where Halo 2 failed to drop my jaw.

These images look decidedly Halo-y in a way that just doesn't tickle my interest, and since they're multiplayer maps I reckon I shouldn't expect them to be all that different. Still, multiplayer maps have traditionally been based on bits of the campaign, and the lack of new art direction here and the re-use of super familiar textures and objects is worrying.

I hope the campaign takes you places that are of vastly greater interest than the re-run that was Halo 2, because draping essentially the same environments in higher resolution textures and lighting models isn't gonna cut it.

Multiplayer looks awesome don't care what anyone says. The singleplayer will look better. It isn't even suppose to look two times better, but there will be aspects about it that make it look better than multi.

Halo 2 had downscaled grahics in MP, so has R6:vegas, GRAW 1 & 2 and the list goes on and on.

halo 2's MP did not look worse then its SP, anyway why cant they make the MP look as good as the SP? is the netcode giving a huge load on the CPU or something?

Different iterations of the engine for a start.

If you had paid attention to the Bungie updates you would know how much additional work is going into the visuals for the singleplayer.

Looks excellent. :)

Yeah it did, not quite the difference of Halo: CE...

Single

Multi

...but it's there.

Multi needs to be built around 4 player split-screen, campaign only 2 play split-screen, likewise Campaign needs to continually stream the level and handle AI whereas multi-player does not.

*Edit - And they're built by different teams too.

i read them but so far i havent seen any proof that its that great as frank wants us to believe, he also said that the MP water was very good but even that is a bit of a disapointment. anyway i guess the e3 trailer hyped me to much, was hoping the MP was looking atleast that good (and it should have, most ppl play more MP then single player once the finished it on legendary, aleast i did.)
