Yeah, I know what you are saying......People are all "Gears of War totally ownz halo 3 as far as graphix go"......And im like, Sure the graphix are good, but teh gamplay sux, and its easy to make a game with good graphix when you only use 3 colors....(black grey and red) the rest are just shades...lol.....Oh, and I just want to clerify, I do not believe that the graphix in gears are better, Halo 3 Defiantely PWNS those nwb graphix in gears!!!!! HALO 3 FTW!!!!!!!

These cannot be the only helmet variations, there will be Brute, Elite, and Grunt player models, and the minimum, the helmet variations will change the opaque HUD visor lines you see while you're in MP, nothing much more than that "cosmetic" eye candy will happen.

I do hope that since these permutations will be available exclusively to MP games, then each variation on the armor for Spartan, Elite, Brute, Grunt, etc will be unlocked based on that individual player's MP skill level. Then, players will instantly recognize higher level players on the battlefield and possibly confront those players differently. Plus this (with other permutations) would help teams recognize their positional leaders, because this is a game based heavily on a military foundation- higher ranks = perks.

"Knowledge is My Power" - Dark Mr Vader

Nice! WOW! Awesome!
I noticed something in the screen shot from High Ground, the bunker is a bit more bright (ie more lighting in it). If this is true it would be a more inviting place for combat. the old dark bunker was a bit too scary to go inside it. I dont know maybe its my imagination.

The screenshots look awesome, but I'm not sure that I like the new C.Q.B armour. It looks just like a Stormtrooper from Star Wars!

The different armour will have different abilities

1. The one with the black strip in the front is close quarters abilities with ability to take extra damage in close quarter fights.
2. The bubble sheild helmet will be for snipers and long range players with special vision abilities (night, etc.)
3. The standard amour will be a balance between the two.

The new screen shots and renders have gone way out of my scale on *oh my holy -blam!-* range. My favorite render so far is "reload this".

You wouldn't mind sending me an earlier complete copy of halo 3??? : ) GIMME! September 25th....too....far!

I'm just so appauled by the supreme awesomeness that I've witnessed so far! Can't wait, Bungie!

Lol, I would ignore Jumbodouche101. He probably can't afford Halo3. : ) Nor has any skills so a MP match is out of the question. Not only that, I love how alot of people believe that the graphics of a video make the game. I believe it's gameplay and plot that make a game what it truly is. Graphics are just a big plus. : )

Best. Update. Ever.

The armor is amazing, I'm digging the E.V.A. And I can already imagine Ghost and Brute Chopper battles.

If Halo 3 multiplayer is a bottle of rum than these 'unlockable' armor purmutations might just be a hint of poision. Maybe, maybe not, but if some of them, ie, the close combat armor, makes you have to get a bazillion shot gun kills to get it, then it could dilute the people who are just trying to play the game. And there should be at least 10 different armors to start with, I don't care if I'm playing a bunch of new guys (did not say the n-word) or generals, I want to be able to see armor variatons, I think it is really a cool idea, but could go fubar many a ways if Bungie guys are not careful. But Bungie is always careful...right?

The CQB Armor looks exactly like the Republic Army Clone Troopers from the Star Wars flicks. Not that it's bad, but could be different. Almost like you were playing Republic Commando.

is it just me or does the standard armour look the most appealing out of all these? I think i will stick wth the standard helmet at the very least cause the others that i have seen so far dont apeal to me at all. If they are unlocked based on rank i think MC's armour should be the highest ranking armour. just my two cents.
