Inside this new footage: battle rifle, spartan laser shown firing, brute spiker, bubble shield, map/gametype voting/veto system, new zanzibar remake map called "last resort", rankings, callsigns, hud effects, beautiful sniper rifle, mysterious new equipment called "power drainer", mongoose, and more.

I'm going to play some Halo 2 online in honor of this.

That footage is completely unimpressive. Halo 2 HD.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #5 on:** April 24, 2007, 12:58:13 PM »

Yeah when is it going to look like that trailer?

brawndolicious · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:14:18 PM »

I agree it looks pretty crappy but this is what they want ready for a demo, it's probably going to look a lot better in the final game. The demo at least has grass.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:19:55 PM »

I just dont see how it can look this Halo 2 HD this late in the game.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:29:20 PM »

Cause they're making a multiplayer demo and we haven't seen what final effects they'll use? Most people look forward to this game's new matchmaking system, I'm sure having a huge BETA DEMO watermark in the center of their screen will make them at least look at how much the game improves when it comes out if they had fun with it.

halo 2 hd comments, lol.

well I would agree the level was bland, the lighting and spartan models are vastly improved since halo 2. Any comparison shot can show that much.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #10 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:31:14 PM »

It just doesnt look like the trailer, when does this happen?

Vizzys · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:57:25 PM »

the e3 trailer?

Not sure. Single player might, wouldnt know.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2007, 02:01:42 PM »

It better, cause im not playin online anyway. Too many college kids out there that wanna call me the N word and the F word and kill me real fast cause all they do is play Halo online

Vizzys · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2007, 02:11:10 PM »

Decided to play online for the first time in a year:

I get my ass handed to me every time I try, ive given up

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2007, 02:16:58 PM »

i dunno if the final will look much better -- there's only so much you can do with post-processing effects. there's might be some HDR, maybe a few more normal maps here and there, but what you see now is what you'll get in stores unless they're prepared to dramatically alter the graphic assets and rendering pipeline.

Mupepe · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2007, 05:06:01 PM »

most of the effects that they talk about in the weekly updates, the ones that I drool about (water, wind) are not in the multiplayer beta. they already said it wouldn't be a graphical powerhouse.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #17 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:28:28 PM »

Pretty disappointing if Halo 3 doesnt look as good as Gears of War or Rainbow Six Vegas. Thats just lazy

"'sall about gameplay, yo."

Bacon · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:32:09 PM »

It looks more like Halo 1 HD to me, which is pretty good imo.

Sure, when the game isnt supposed to be the flagship franchise of the console line.

hyp · « **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:43:56 PM »

naw, i feel you... i guess my expectations have reached ground zero ever since the last few batch of screens. pretty sad. was a big halo 1 fan, so 3 will probably be a big improvement for me even graphically. i barely touched halo 2 - it was missing the magic that halo 1 had.

tiesto · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2007, 06:52:47 PM »

Yeah, after Gears I'm really disappointed with what Halo 3 is doing graphically. Especially since Halo 1 and 2 are some of the better looking Xbox 1 games. I'm sure the game will still be good, though.

Scurvy Stan · « **Reply #23 on:** April 25, 2007, 01:10:21 AM »

Halo 2.5

I think it looked pretty meh to be honest, but I also think it should be taken into account this was from an internal (ie: Not to be shown to the general public) beta, and the map shown is not one included in the actual beta that will becoming out.

Having seen a number of commercial releases in similar early forms of development not normally shown to the public, there is most definitely reason to believe the visuals could improve significantly between now and relaease.

Once the actual public beta is released, I think more direct criticism would be warranted, as I expect it would closer approximate final product. If it's still looking meh, then there is definitely cause for concern.
