Yup, I think it was Devo.

Yea, I'm glad I found this place. Hope I'm not too much of a nuisance speaking with all you tippy top halo buffs. I'll do my best.
I always make a bet with myself on how many posts before Scofield shows up.

Well obviously, but you just know a CoD version of that comic would get a shitload of use and become a go-to image for lovers, haters and trolls alike.
Well that's the other extreme. I think Tiburon are great devs and have a lot of pressure on them every single year but they're so different.
Definitely, I dug up some more old screens:

Halo 3 never really looked like that on TV.

Any sports video game is never going to be that great as long as it follows a one-a-year dev cycle. It doesn't matter if the developer is doing a good job, you just can't effect that much change.
Best case scenario, we'd see installments with roster updates each year as DLC, while every three years or so comes a more substantial difference. But that's not likely to happen.

Sure it didn't have all that AA and AF until after screenshot postprocessing but it would if it was on PC. Hint, hint, hint 343.

I wouldn't know when he does. He's one of like 3 people on all of Gaf on my ignore list. He's nothing but a blatant hater of all things Bungie and Halo. You'd think that they had killed his family.

Yea, Halo 3 had more jaggies and I don't think the animations were quite up to par. I do like the colors and style more though. Its funny, I remember people asking for more gritty after 3, then Reach came out and people wanted bright and shiny again.
I was always for bright and shiny. Every time a developer, director, etc. says "dark" or "gritty" I want to kick a puppy.
I think the redesign of weapons and enemies in Reach was not up to par, either.
Also:
Glasslands II: Glass Harder has been oddly renamed to The Thursday War.
No confirmation on whether the UNSC is waiting for the weekend, or if they're partyin, partyin *yeah*.

Also curious the release date is on October 12, I wonder how this relates to Halo 4's release schedule?

I agree. The only complaints I have when it comes to Halo 3's graphics are the jaggies and the faces. Other then that it's an amazing looking game. I actually like it's graphics over Reach on solely on aesthetics. Reach could compete if it weren't for the grittiness to the graphics. I actually saw shots once with the filter off and with fog off and the game is amazing looking underneath all that stuff.
Can't find the filter one but here is a vid with fog off on the MP maps.

Fucking magnificent Plywood.
I'll add one.
One thing I loved about Halo 3 was the sheer scale of some of the environments. You'd see destroyed parts of the space elevator in the distance and not exactly get a feel for the size, but then you'd have parts of Tsavo Highway where you drive through the wreckage and it turns out the rings are gigantic. ODST did this pretty well too.

Jeeze, this must have been for performance reasons? Sometimes I just don't get how things like that get passed. I guess there's always some bureaucratic b.s. going on...if its anything like the software company I work for things often get changed (or don't get changed for that matter) for the most awful reasons.
You're out of control.
It was before the patch several years ago.
The skies actually look like they are being invaded. smh Bungie...
Unless 343 includes Labor Day as part of "Holiday 2012," the book will come out before the game. Which hopefully means some juicy hints.
Yes yes yes.
lol, had some good ideas, but as a competitive game, it was a joke.

Just thought of something: what if Glasslands 2: Didactic Boogaloo comes out just like a day or two before Halo 4 and part of it tells the story of Chief's encounters in Halo 4 like the Flood did, but with a more subdued narrative and basically explains some of his actions due to field reports or something rather than his Duke Nukem personality in The Flood?

Man I miss not having everything dirtied up. That looks so good.Definitely, I dug up some more old screens:

I would have preferred:
Halo: Glasslands 2: The Glass is Gleener - Karen Traviss
(And for those wondering, the term "Thursday War" is slang for the naval war games and scenarios used to test a ship's operational readiness.)

Perhaps the Infinity is ready for combat drills?

The hat was a nice touch over, hahaha.
Well, nuts. You guys got me rummaging through my hosted Halo 3 pics. You have no one but yourselves to blame.
Remember picture stories? Clips are great but sometimes the pictures are more entertaining. I still remember this one. I think we were racing to bag the winning cap.

So one of your smart ass. What do I have to do in this ESPN group? Can someone explain it to me? (via pm) In Germany we do pay the players to win bets, I think that isn't the case here. Or am I too late? I don't want that Karl is angry at me again.

I remember seeing a video where they modded out the fog. Everything was so clear and shiny.
Pretty sure it's too late.
