I am a halo fan and wondering halo 3 is not bad graphics game and all (as seen so far ) but wondering why Bungie didn't use the Unreal Engine 3 because Unreal Tournament III Epic Games --->>FPS game looks amazing on the quality , explosions, and effects it displays and for the final halo game i know everyone is looking alot at graphics effects(and gameplay)
so i'm just wondering "Why did Bungie not use the Unreal Engine 3?"
Actually, the real reason why is because Bungie wanted to keep the same feel in Halo 3, and the Unreal Engine doesn't look Halo, so all you would have gotten is a game which plays like Halo, but doesn't feel Haloie.

Look at Gears of War. It uses the Unreal 3 Engine, the graphics are amazing, but what about the actual game, graphics aside? There's like 10 guns, no vehicles, the multiplayer gets boring after about 10 minutes and makes me want to go play Halo 2. The Campaign takes about an hour and a half to complete. There's no interactivity, no customization - strip away the graphics from GoW and you have complete garbage.
Sure, Bungie could've used the Unreal 3 Engine and maybe the graphics would be amazing but the game would suck. Bungie's engine is hawt, Unreal 3 is nawt. Full stawp. =)
The Unreal Engine had nothing to do with Gears gameplay, because it's a graphics engine, so really, you described GoW without the Unreal Engine, kinda defeats your "Unreal Engine sux0r" argument =D
