In case it hasn't been said yet, I think this is what the picture is of (from weekly update 6/22/07 posted by lukems)

I propped the same build to my box and cheated my way to the part in question with the quickness. Then, because its debug code and we have tons cheatz at our disposal, I detached the camera from first-person and watched the spectacle unfold from a third-person perspective, with a free roaming camera (guided by my analog sticks). Here’s what I saw: The heat of a thousand suns being reflected in real-time off the Master Chief’s visor and the world being consumed by a huge white blast, blotting out everything on the horizon with white heat. And this is, as Rob pointed out, is going to be roughly half a million times cooler than it is right now.


This answers some questions I observed on the first few pages which were scattered amongst the "FIRST PAGE" and "OOPS I CRAPPED MY PANTS"
1) gameplay
2) THE master chief, just in a free-camera perspective
3) Gears of what indeed- I bet he captured this screen shot back then (working smart, not hard) and the final product will be cooler yet.

My 2c


edit:
from the same weekly update:
Lorraine McLees has been working on culling screenshots from a series of multiplayer and campaign scenarios that we’ve played – my contribution to these sessions usually amounts to little more than running around, driving stuff, killing dudes and getting killed

It Smells Like Teen Spirit In Here

HOLY CRAP MAN. THAT HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN. JUST LOOK AT THE DETAILS, NOT ONLY ON THE CHIEF BUT IN THE BACKGROUND AS WELL. I AM MORE EXCITED FOR THIS GAME THAN I AM FOR MY OWN BIRTHDAY (WHICH IS ONE WEEK BEFORE HAND).

Anyone who ever said that Halo 3 was Halo 2.5 or that it was going to have bad graphics can stop talking now.........I guess what they dont realize is that Halo3 comes out in the fall meaning they still have a long time to improve it, if it was finished now or ready in a week then they would be releasing it now.

We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero.

I suppose Bungie's motto is the same as Foehammer's
"We Deliver".

Anyone look at the image name? "Hail to this Chief". A hint that there is going to be more than one Spartan, maybe?

It's all about teamwork. :)

The fingers really need to be edited for PG13. I really think that needs to be changed to not look like he has -blam!- for fingers.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Oh my god...who says the graphics suck now? ;-)

Nice screen, Bungie...I'm sure the noobs will be drooling over this forever.

Are you -blam!-tin me? That is terrific. This blows all the other games out of the water, next-gen graphics start with Halo 3. It is so Beautiful

  • 07.05.2007 11:27 PM PDT

looks good but graphics need to look better by the time it ships.

I can assure you I'm bigger fans on Bungie and the Halo series than most of you. Between the vast gamertags I've had I'm sure I've played
WAY more than most of you put together!! Trust, I get the crit in the REAL World (in which I'm actually respected) I tell thee. But why wud you congratulate then on this crappy update? Its nothing, pathetic. It reveals noubt.

You losers going "oh thanks bungie for this" are sad -blam!-s, you dont actually mean it. That SS means nothing to nobody. Thay are just manipulating you to think they are giving you incite wen they are not, and all your "oh thanks bungie" comments aren't going to make them divulge anymore.

Next update - Give us something to actually read or don't bother posting. Save it for the finale if your going to go 1/2 hearted!!!

I's you;ve got ant specific comments to me, mail gilerarunner180@hotmail.com.

(In general) Thanks Bungie (Please get rid of host advantage, and even if you cant, give a justifiable pro's vs cons list of why not. Host Advantage ruins at least 6/7-10 Halo 2 games. I thought you'd learn. Create your own serves you multi-millionaire cheap-skates!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Why have you had "vast gamertags?" Could someone send me some polish, the Banhammer might need to get shined up.

Please tell me this is in game and NOT cinematics....If not than Bungie has lied once against about what Halo 3 will look like. The trailer looked way better than this, this looks like a really really good in game 3rd person view, but if this is cinematic then screw off Bungie, liars. Better be in game.


It's in-game, now go upstairs lil' fella and take your meds, I just told your Mom to call you up for them.

GT: FatalxXxFrenzy -Check out my fileshare!! Map titled "Lagoon"

yeah, gears had great graphics. but you didnt move around much, you hid behind blocks that "just happend" to be there and the main color was gray. Its probably way more challenging for a fast paced always moving game to get top notch graphics

OMG I am posting on the same freaking page as THE LUKE SMITH. And you were right way back when Luke, Gears of WHAAA?

  • 07.05.2007 11:56 PM PDT

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

The game has to basically be done now. It takes at least 2 months to get it all produced and shipped so there really is no time for any added work. What we're seeing here is finished polished and ready to go. This pic is B E A utiful.
