OMG, Gears of War pack your bags!!!

Agreed, Halo 3 is the Gears of War killer....
If not by graphics, then by Halo's notorious 'Anti-lag' system....
I love you Bungie... When you take over....you know...the world, I'll be happy to enlist in your new army :)


Hey hey, be careful calling anything a title killer. Remember what happened to Killzone? Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, the detail in this screenshot is really incredible. And I think the reflection we see on the visor is an explosion.

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

I feel cheated, I love Halo but... well I understand that the game still has time in development but how much does polish improve a game's garphics? That doesn't hold a flimsy stick to what was seen in the announcement trailer which they said was in-game. And so no one thinks I'm crying wolf here is a quote from the Game Informer article I got my information from... "This is the in-game character model for Master Chief. Bungie has stated that this high level of detail is present in every other character and vehicle." issue 159. I won't lie to myself and post "Wow that looks great!" when it's just a poor man's announcement trailer, a really poor man I mean this guy can't even afford free peanuts, please someone prove me wrong and telll me how stupid I am and how that isn't even an indication of how the game will turn out to be... please.


I'm sorry mate but I really fail to see why you’re disappointed in this new shot, I personally think it looks fantastic and has all the visual quality that was present in the announcement trailer. If anything I think the assault rifle appears to have slightly superior lighting then in the actual trailer. Also take into account the chief is in a completely different environment witch appears to not be the sun baked Mombassa backdrop you see in the trailer so obviously the lighting conditions are going to be different and a little softer, As well as having different colour pallets for the environment altogether. So as far as I can tell (as I said) to me this is the exact visual detail that was present in the trailer. If you examine the shot more and compare hopefully you will see what I mean.

I agree with hylander, this shot of the Chief is absolutely breath taking. In some ways, I think, better than the E3 announcement. The old Chief was grainy...discolored. THIS Chief is smooth and shiny, Cant wait to see my co-op buddy standing next to me on a full screen HD monitor, Over system link that is.

Master chief looks alot like the beta spartans, but that's not a bad thing at all... it looks like the lighting has been gotten a great enhancement on MC it's not too bright or too dark, his visor looks amazing. But most of all the terrain looks beautiful!!! WOW there's not much more I can say it's just amazing.

  • 07.06.2007 6:34 AM PDT

All the sony fanboys are cracking it. They are all saying "has bungie seen killzone graphics" they are all the same it makes me sick. They always refer to that fake video that everyone thought it would look like,

awsome pic too

I think the reflection in the MC's visor could be an explosion. Any other ideas?

Amazing, bravo, bravo Bungie. All I ask now is one pic of the Elites in campaign or multiplayer.

Theres no reflection in his visor get your small stupid heads around it.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Dammit, can't you game fan boys drop the damn apples and oranges arguement for one second?

I don't see any major leap in graphics here. This looks like a slightly more convenient lighting placement version of what I saw in the beta. Not to say that it at all looks bad as halo has always had a somewhat cartoon feeling to it, but trying to compare the graphics/ visual styles to those of gears of war is an exercise in futility, given the two games follow completely different visual style paths and bungie has already stated that they don't plan on making halo 3 appear as realistic and gritty as gears.

Second, why do you fan boys always refer to things as game killers? Mario is considered killed by any of todays standards but try telling that to the millions who still turn on their NES just to play a couple minutes now and then. If a game is fun (which varies from perspective to perspective) then people will play it. If i want to run around and splatter people with a ghost then I'll play halo. If I want to chainsaw someone I'll play Gears. No person who would be gaged as logical in these times would go smash either disk if one didn't appeal to their immediate likings.


EDIT: Sorry my hatred for game bigots took the thunder of my post but otherwise a great pic Bungie, I really hope these jungle scenes unfold into some great jungle maps in game. I would hate to see a potential thicket of maze like shrubbery prove to be nothing more than pretty visuals on a flat open map.

Wow, that looks amazing. Judging by what I can see on the visor, it's either a snowcapped mountain or something exploding.

This pic is not in HD (Halo 3 is)therefore thats why the pic dose not have amazing graphical detail........that and in-game screen shot cameras are not advanced enough to take an HD pic. So stuff ur wana-be knowledge up ur ass.



PS: sorry im having a bad day today and as for Gears having the best graphics in world look at a picture of Crises.


That pic is at 1280x720, that's 720p, so it is in HD. I see nothing wrong with it, it looks amazing. And the in-game screenshot cameras take the pic at the resolution the game is running at. In this case, it's 720p HD.

And yes, Crysis does look awesome, but it's all in the visual style. Crysis is going for realistic, Gears is going for dark and gritty, and Halo is going for a more cartoony feel with lots of reflections, etc.

I dont see why people call this a gears killer. Halo is better than Gears in every way but Gears is also a -blam!- amaizing game. its good we can have both.

Why does halo 3 kick ass?

  • 07.06.2007 9:37 AM PDT

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So is that shot final game content?

  • 07.06.2007 9:46 AM PDT

Because it is going to be the best game in the world.

<I dont see why people call this a gears killer. Halo is better than Gears in every way but Gears is also a -blam!- amaizing game. its good we can have both. >

you are absolutly right gears and halo are great games but there gameplay and tactics are diffrent but both games get a 10/10 and halo is not going to be a "Gears Killer" it is probably going to take the top selling game but gears will be remebered and the best 3rd person shoot to relese on the 360.
