Hopefully H3 multiplayer plays closer to the first game.
Not really a fan of exploits by the way, I play CoD3 fairly often and the game is loaded with them, drives me insane.

This is a frag as it triggers. Again, frame by frame this for a much better show. The lighting is totally dynamic. Check out the foliage casting a dark shadow as it's caught in the white of the blast.
thats not a shadow, but the plant itself

Check out the texturing on the caution blockade. In motion, if you frame by frame it, you can see the swirls respond appropriately to the viewing angle. Nice stuff.

Not only does the water splash and form around the Spartan, but it actually is effected by each tire independently. Turns send water cascading in the right direction and even the Goose's hood plunging forward as the shocks react, sends a realistic spray from the corner of the vehicle.
Very nice for a beta. Very nice for a finished game.
You all need to stop with the delusional bullshit. Its getting out of hand now. That video was crappy..not the game the video and how some of you are acting like it wasn't is just sad. Are you all for real? There is absolutely nothing remarkable in those shots. Stop kidding your self and wait for a hi-res official video or the demo next month.

There is nothing hostile about my post, just stating a fact anyone can see if they open there eyes because it was getting ridiculous especially with the comparison shots of Halo 2 and Halo 3 next to each other. Go off game play but dont sit here and act like the quality of that video does the graphics any justice. Bungie them self said it was not a complete map and further was not meant to be seen by the public.
without question, the player gets killed by the needler. that flashing blue is see throughout the video and is a new effect showing your shields getting damaged. also, just after this gif cuts off, you can clearly see the purple "shards" of the needler laying on the ground next to the dead player.
someone needs to edit that gif and have it freeze when that first guy gets obliverated by the laser with "OWNED"
Probably just because...MAYBE...this wasn't meant to be released? The trolls are really grasping for straw men now. You all say it's not as exciting or as promising as the Halo 2 vids released by Bungie. That's because this wasn't meant as a way to promote the game. It's a leak. Wait until Bungie actually releases their videos, then you'll be excited.cicatriz said:

So you don't think it will improve? That's a rather pessimistic view
They exagerrated a little bit - once you deinterlace it it's a decent capture with consumer-level equipment, and it's not too dissimilar from what people all over will be watching in IGN videos in a few weeks.
But one view I haven't seen expressed enough so far is the following:
**** the graphics.
Seriously. I don't even understand why it matters, and in fact extra frills and normal-mapped vertex-shaded HDR polygonal particle effects just get in my way when I'm trying to find dudes to kill. Not only is the "debate" over graphics pointless, but it's actually detracting from gameplay discussion. You saw a video of a game, holy shit. It looked how it looked, ohmygosh. Let's move on.

Best moment we've seen concerning Halo 3 so far. I thought it was quite cool.GhaleonEB said:

Is anyone at all curious on why halo3.com hasn't been updated yet? The beta is officially only three weeks away today.
I wondered that as well. The site hasn't been updated much at all. All of the information about the beta has gone up at Bungie.net. I'm assuming they'll just do a one-time update to the site when the beta keys are sent out and the FAQ goes live, then another when the beta ends.Mr Vociferous said:

They really need to add custom death lines for EVERY weapon/vehicle.
