If you guys can tweak that vector mode to be two thirds wind waker, I bet it will be harder to spot people, and you can leave it in?

Occlusion rocks. I can see why you like it. Very Tron. Anyway, I say don't worry about the manual so much. Include an interactive manual section on the disk! 3D weapon close-ups, etc. Format it like a tac manual for ODSTs. Manuals come and go. The disk lives on!


I hope Bungie is listening, because Guish's idea is very good. Manuals are good for very basic game features of the game, but with Halo 3 having such a huge following, and it being the last Halo game, I hope Bungie will do something special menu wise for Halo 3.

Pretty good update, makes me want to see and hear it all for myself glad its coming along good!

Reach!

Fool what the hell do you know about pistols. Kyle the original pistol was better than the battle riffle, how can you dis the best weapon bungie ever made?

Any way so does this new physics for water and such still belong to Havok? I'm fine with that, just want to know if the super bounces are going to be in Halo 3? And did I hear Bungie considers super jumps CHEATING? WTF, you know they use super bounces all the time... I don't care I was just wondering if it was the latest Havok engine?

One big question I have with the water is if it exerts a force on objects. If you walk into the water, does it push you? Does driving a warthog through it push you sideways?

it would have to be strong to move a moving warthog in a direction other then the direction it moving...and even a sitting warthog wouldnt move much DUH

crysis is too powerful for the 360 to handle :( so that means it looks better then halo 3 :(
even tho crysis may be comin out on the 360, it il not be the same as the pc version (lok at quake 4/ doom 3, the pc versions loked MUCH better then the console versions

Hey, I can't wait to just sit there and mess with all the detail like you're doing now, fellow graphics lover. I already see myself shooting at plaster walls to see them crack and crash landing Banshees into water, etc. I kind of wonder what will happen if I ram a hog into a wall...or better yet, a TREE, just to see what happens! VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER!...er, SPARTAN-SLAUGHTER!

Frankie - About your last comment worrying about fitting everything into a case insert sized manual, I find that they are pretty useless for most of the games I've purchased. How about bundling a full size manual in the style of the Prima Games guides. Or better yet, publish a limited edition hard cover version like they did for Gears of War. Heck, even a downloadble PDF would be fine with me. Just don't chince (ahem, waste an opportunity) on the documentation, please. I'd say limit the info in the game box insert to whatever is absolutely necessary to play the game and can be read in the two minutes or so that a new user waits after having ripped open the box, waiting for the 360 to boot up, signs into xbox live, and to watch the opening credit sequence, be amazed by the music and the surround sound Marty opulence, all the way until the "Hit start" message appears.

Let the rest of the gory goodness, back story and deep details go into a very thick tome rather than let it hit the cutting room floor.

Sure the glass looks nice but if you shoot a sniper shot through it will it do damage or will the first shot just take the glass out. Please o please let bullets go through glass for that killer headshot with a beautiful glass affect.

Nope, I'd have to disagree with you. First shot breaks the glass, second shot kills the person. I suppose it would also depend on how thick the glass is, but personally, you will be able to see that the glass is there and adjust your tactics accordingly. If I was in a RL situation and I had glass between me and the bad guy, I'd put two down range one following right after the other just to be damn sure at least one of them got through.

Nice update, I drooled a lil bit over the water moving around objects and such. The "vintage" picture reminded me of good 'ole flat Halo CE (the AR helped too) and made me giggle. I love how people responding are angered by, in their eyes, little information and almost demand detailed stuff. This wouldn’t be Halo or Bungie if it wasn’t done in this way, don’t expect much in the way of information (wait for leaks (lawl)). As for those of you who think the graphics are going to suck, I laugh. Remember Halo 2? Bungie kinda pushed the ole black box to its limits to get us the best possible experience and made sure it was done right. This is Bungie peeps, Microsoft’s shining star and there aint no way in hell their gonna -blam!- this up (=0 curse word!) O and another thing, remember that video released awhile ago it was the first Halo 3 one? Funny I don’t recall the graphics sucking. And to whoever said that Halo 2 was a let down, that’s your opinion not fact. What killed the game for me was the tirds on Xbox Live telling how good they were and using big boy verbs and adjectives.


You are soooo right. This is Bungie, doing what Bungie does best, TEASING. And to all those people whining about how Bungie is being so withholding of info.......I am glad they aren't telling us every last detail. While I read EVERY update hoping to read something about new graphics/weapons/sounds or anything, I would be saddened if Franky just came right out and told us everything that was going to be in the game.........because that would pretty much ruin the whole experience of opening up that celophane, (sp?) carefully taking out that brand new Halo 3 disc, putting it in ur 360 and going through campaign dropping your jaw around every corner. It just wouldnt be the same. So Frankie, Tease on, my friend, tease on.

I dont think they are saying that they are worried about IF it will penetrate but rather HOW it will penetrate. n00b.

You know you are dealing with Bungie fans when people flip out over a screenshot-of a wireframe.


Not only are we seeing hardcore Bungie fans flipping out over a wireframe screenshot, but they are also willing to play the entire game in wireframe as an unlockable achievement.

Why would you want to? Just because you can.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone "penetrae" anything ... is that Latin you are "spaeking"? Hum. I can't seem to understand anything over your "braeing".

Precisely. It does make a difference in game play mechanics to pay attention to small details such as whether it takes two shots or one to get through certain materials. I think it makes the game more enjoyable when the environment messes with your head and it's disappointing when things don't react as you expect them to.

Well if you were really a fan, the "only way to tell how this game turns out" would be to line up at midnight and beat the game in one sitting before anyone else could tell you on teh internets.


lol ya rite

Well I would assume that you aren't, because you registered a week ago. If you don't like a -blam!- game whatsoever, don't come on the weekly update thread (biggest fanboy circle-jerk on the entire forum) and start trolling away. What's worse is that you disguise your blatant trolling as concerned reservations about the game. If you don't like the game, GTFO and talk to other people that don't like the game. Here's one for you: www.ps3forums.com . Enjoy.
first of all i HATE the ps3. second i don't hate halo 3 i hate halo2 i would like this game if it were more like halo so stop sayin "o ur just i sony fanboy" shut up


I have to say Pancho, that it is painfully ovious that you are trying to wind people up.
