I want to ask the repeated question to why this particular map was leaked, but sadly the story behind the mysterious disappearance of the former Microsoft employee know to us only as xFalzY will never be know. God bless his soul. May he be rewarded for his sacrifice in the afterlife.
 
You guys were right, that music is freaking addicting. I streamed the video to my 360 and it looks awesome!

Me and my friends have noticed that we always seem to get into tougher matches in Team Training games, whereas ranked games are usually really easy. I'm not sure if higher level players just **** around in Team Training a lot or what.

:lol i admit, i do that. its just fun playing in unusual ways. ways you certainly couldnt use to win in ranked matches.
 
Nothing wrong with having mediocre graphics, you know. Some of my favorite games had average graphics when they were released, nevermind by today's standards. So hey, if you like halo gameplay you like halo gameplay, right? And being a leak, of course, this wasn't intended for public consumption. It'll surely improve by release time, or even just the next time it's intended to be shown properly.

It's just, uhhh, being a non-fan I can't help but laugh at all the hyperbole in the graphics impressions. Come on now, guys. Not as if I went "OMG OMG OMG OMG BEST GRAPHICS EVER" in response to the MGS4 gameplay trailer. Since my eyes work. Instead, I made excuses about placeholder assets and assumed it would be cleaned up considerably for release and more in tune with the previous videos.

It's okay to not think the footage is the best looking thing ever, really ;b

I only saw a couple of people claiming this was the best ever, and of course they're on crack. Most of the bullshit in this thread was on the order of "that looks like Halo 2", which is just as stupid. Most sane people here are saying it looks good. Which is does. People who use hyperbole in either direction deserve mockery (if not bannings). You make it sound like the opinion you described is the prevailing one. Which is odd.

Yea, that.

LSD. Crack doesn't make you see things that aren't there, or otherwise massively distort visual perception :D
 
At 2:32 you can see a building in the distance. I wonder if that's playable geometry. It seems to have a great vantage of the sword/turbine.
 
the footage looks awesome to me i'm happy with it, anyone else think this map looks like it was build for more then 16players?

Exactly no one is saying Halo 3 > Gears graphically... but personally from an overall perspective Halo 3 as a "game" not a "tech demo" excites me way the **** more than Crysis, Gears of War, or anything else.

I just love Halo and I am super pumped to play this beta when its released.
 
I will say this, the comparison shot a few pages back does show one thing in how far lighting has come in such a short time..Halo 2 looks flat in that aspect even compared to a next gen beta.

Even just the music excites me. ;) :D

I'll try to leave "screenshot wars" out of this thread by only posting images as links.
(?)


But I think between Halo 3 Beta Images, this...
Random Gears Gameplay 1
Random Gears Gameplay 2
Random Gears Gameplay 3

and this...
Random MGS4 Gameplay
Random MGS4 Gameplay
(...and possibly add a dose of Forza 2...)

There's a reason why 'judging' a games graphics is best left until after the game ships.
And no, the Halo Beta does not qualify as a shipped game. :)
 
It's gonna play real well, so I'm not sure why people are stressing that the graphics aren't the best out there.

Not sure what your point is. The gears shots look great, but the MG shots look terrible...I'm confused.

maybe he is trying to say don't judge a game by early screens or you might be eating crow?
 
Does anyone know what the song is in the video? And what's the point of censoring the roster names if you can see their names over their heads and when they get killed?
 
I'm curious, how was the reaction from people here when the early Halo 2 pics and footage started to show up? I wasn't around back then.

One is finished while the other isn't? Kinda like Halo 3?

Because he's stupid. Hence the leak. :lol
 
I just changed the audio of the video and changed it to Halo - Truth and Reconciliation
Now my ears are no longer being raped. Halo videos need Halo music. FACT!

EXACTLY


We (should) all know this falls biggest exclusives will look stunning (in their own right).
 
Why are people here under the impression we think this beta footage of Halo looks like the best thing out there? Is because one guy said so?
