I have two questions. the first one is-"is halo 2 vista coming out either March 30,2007 or April 27,2007?" my second question is-"Why hasn't there been any media coverage for the game?"

this is question for anyone that can answer including the Bungie staff.

there proboly not gunna show any kind of media until a little bit before it comes out like they did with halo 2... if ne thing my guess would be for them doing that is to keep people all awnsey and when they finally do (a little bit before it comes out) it will make ppl go crazy and want it more... if they start doing media coverage now people will end up losing interest or some info will get leeked and people will know the whole thing... itll just make ppl want it more with the more info they keep secret

also me and my friend think the first kind of media coverage will come in movie theaters during the preveiws so it isnt relesed to alot of people at one time

your drawings of the chief are...to say the least...what i look forward to every weekly update.

i do have a question though, do your grenades blow trees apart if they land at the base of the tree? if not blow apart..maybe a huge chunk blows off?

Hmm, the screenshot looks interesting; almost like a "convolution kernel", which is an effect in Sony Vegas NLE post-production software. Bungie's doing a great job with Halo 3. Hopefully the player clipping geometry will have less or no anomalies this time around; level designers being on strict and tedious schedules might forget to enclose some of those triangles. Wait, that would violate the sealed world rules, if that's what the developers still go by >_<

I believe Bungie was using 3ds Max 8 SP2 to create the geometry and UVWs for the Halo 3 Trailer; I saw it in the first Halo 3 Documentary. If Bungie upgrades to version 9 they'll have high performance improvements... Using soft selection on thousands of vertices is calculated much faster, and would get more out of the already hasty schedule. Microsoft better have invested in their best game studio!

And I'm interested in those new water shaders... There's a lot of things I tend to wonder as an almost intermediate 3ds Max user... so let me ask, Bungie. I was wondering if you use reactor physics for water. I know you can bind a plane to the water space warp and simulate it with rigid bodies, but, in a basic sense, does the water geometry deformations (actual animated displaced ripples, or perhaps random noise) come from a shader or tag? Or does the deformations export from reactor physics? Just wondering. It's an interesting question to me. I know 3ds Max is used to model the binary space partitions, and that scene vertex and face coordinates are exported, but are reactor physics used for water? Or is water simulated by a perhaps a hard-coded function or program loop in the game's rendering engine? Just wondering; I don't mind if there's not time to answer.

Anyway though, Bungie has done a great job. Maybe this time players won't be able to pass the player clips that are supposed to have collision flags applied. I have created a few maps for Halo Custom Edition, and a few animated scenes in 3ds Max (walkthroughs, design visualizations, scenes), so I know it can be difficult at times. I'm a senior in high school as of this post, but I plan on someday becoming a level designer too. The first thing I'll do when I play Halo 3 is look at those shaders in the campaign and multiplayer modes. I want to see the bump maps, the refractions in the water, and everything else. They'll probably get me killed many times, but I know they'll be almost more impressive than the gameplay itself. Basically, I know the visuals will be nice ^_^

yes i agree but they should also upgade their flux drive to the latest verision to maximize label pentameter. i belive its the only way to get the most out of the renanator.
