Well, I saw it gamevideos, and it looks...nice. Not great, but nice. Maybe I need to wait until I see it in HD, but I must say, I'm underwhelmed.


I personally find that Kameo looks better than this footage.

 

[Crypto]

Just heard about this, downloaded it (only took a few minutes at 600k/sec, why is everyone else going so slow?) and watched it.

Looks REALLY awesome.

I like techno but the song wasn't very good, too.

Most of the people complaining about the graphics, DO NOT PLAY HALO. They never played CE or Halo 2 and they sure as hell won't be playing 3, so give it a rest.

 

[jjasper]

Everyone having problems with the video, you should download the vlc player. It plays almost any video file you can throw at it...

yeah I realized that after I posted that

Anyway watching it one smaller thing that I saw was that the sniper scope wasn't just green with the 2 lines, but that outlines of everything

Noticed this on the front page of digg :lol
Didnt see it posted in this thread, and it sure as hell doesnt deserve its own.

UNCONFIRMED: The Xbox 360's flagship title Halo 3 will support true (not upscaled) 1080p at 60fps, after Microsoft issued an edict to developers Bungie that it must be the most technically advanced game available on the platform.

Exactly. And anyone who's spent some time with Halo 2 knows that the "Halo 2 HD" comments are absolutely asinine.

I would personally hope that kameo looks better than 480p footage.

 

[Striker]

I finally watched the download version. So awesome!

The Mongoose looks great, too. The neat thing I liked is how it slowed down when it went into deeper water.

Tell me good sir, have you ever played Halo 2?!

really?

show me a comparison of a small ass gamevideos flash player video of kameo and the Halo 3 beta so that I can judge for myself.

why dont you watch the high res. release some of us have seen?

and yes, most of the haters dont play Halo, likely dont own Xbox, and probably like to waggle.

 

[RyuHayate]

I WANT TO PLAY THIS NOW!

 

[fin]

Need more seeders!

Don't pull out premature!

 

[MaX_PL]

LOL i just saw a story on digg with over 100 diggs that says Halo 3 will support native 1080p 60FPS gameplay.

For people with Rapidshare. Join with Hjsplit, then unrar.

I will likely to upload these same file to some other services too.

 

[joaomgcd]

Here is a divx version that's about the same image quality but only 50 megs big. I also took out that awful song

[DopeyFish]

i love how active the HUD is... from when you spawn... to when you simply walk over a weapon or pick up equipment.

 

[Dizzan]

The sand is going to look excellent in HD. It's still early in the piece too. Look at the last two months for Motorstorm ffs. It became a new beast. If this isn't visually stunning by the time it's released, I will eat my hat

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Okay, at 3:23 is a better shot of the grey sidebar which I now think is the A-Hole Feature. Now if back brings that up, how do you bring up the scoreboard when you aren't dead? I was always assuming you would use the scoreboard to mute people, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[segasonic]

this shits all over everything we've seen so far including crysis

wow, just wow :lol

Brokeback Halo confirmed!

 

[rs7k]

I'm not looking to get banned (just came back from a NPD ban actually), but Halo 3 looking similar to Halo 2 is just a testament to how good Halo 2 stills holds up. It's not like it was limited by the Xbox or anything. It'll be more of the same, which is exactly what I hope for.

 

[shuri]

I like how they censored everything but the kill announcements. Really brillant, guys.

Outside of the halo 'look' they look nothing alike

 

[duderon]

Tell me good sir, have you ever played Halo 2?!

I played on live before most of these kids were in diapers

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

I don't know why the captured screenshots have so much interlacing. Downloaded the version on Megaupload and there's no interlacing at all.

wtf. the art style is close. Halo 3 is far ahead in both in terms of technology and complexity.

i'm surprised no one has started taking a ton of halo 2 zanzibar shots to compare how dull halo 2 looks compared to halo 3.

Brokeback Halo confirmed!

[rollingstart]

if there is anything I dont like about the videos, it is that the crosshair seems really low on the screen

:lol at the music.

Damn that was hawt! I cant wait to get my hands on the beta that little bit more now

NoooOOoOOoOOoOoOooOoooooO!!!!

720p, 30fps PLEASE!
1080p, 60fps should be reserved for simpler games, and Xbox3/PS4....
(and yes, I realize this is just a silly rumor)

 

[radrelic]

Can anyone do a clean convert of the video to WMV so it can be streamed to 360?

 

[spermatic cord]

What are the little hashmarks under the shield bar?

 

[BboyDubC]

Mongoose!

Am I the only one freakin BLOWN AWAY by graphics like this in Halo3? And this still a FUZZY PIC! Here's the kicker I DON'T EVEN LIKE HALO other than the story in the first one. Denis Dyack, take notes at what a beta of your game should look like

Spoiler

because that crap you released better be a beta with those terrible animations

 

[thatbox]

if there is anything I dont like about the videos, it is that the FOV IS ONLY LIKE SIXTY DEGREES

Fixed

i did with x video converter... i'd upload it, but i'll let someone else who is better with conversions. mine seems worse then the original (but it DOES play on my 360 now)

What are the little hashmarks under the shield bar?

looks like a compass to me.

 

[DopeyFish]

compass afaik

 

[michaeld]

That music is HORRID

 

[EMBee99]

Hmmm....beta video hits and major news sites pick it up and throw it on the front page without blinking...no response or ninja murder from Bungie/Stinkles/Cobra-Kai/Luke Smith...

Beautifully. Orchestrated. Leak.

...and, really, who cares? This thing looks awesome.

 

[EMBee99]

Wow...the Dyack hate even pollutes Halo threads now...

Invoking Dyack/Too Human should be the GAF version of Godwin's Law.

 

[Sean]

Here's 18 minutes of Halo 2 Zanzibar gameplay footage for comparisons:
QuickTime: http://download.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_halo2_mlg.mov
WMV: http://download.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_halo2_mlg.wmv

The graphics in the leaked Halo 3 video blow it away, and I don't see how anyone can say otherwise. Look at the seawall, the base, camp froman (sniper position), etc. It's a night and day difference.

This was already squashed by Stinkles earlier today.
