QUESTION!!! I have a question for Bungie! QUESTION!!!

While I was watching the trailer I came across two points where there were 4 different grenades in the HUD of Master Chief. Is this an alpha version or is this trailer all real game play that we're going to see in the final version of the game.

Basically: Are things subject to change? And what is that 4th grenade?

Thanks Bungie!


Oh, and, by the way, great Trailer!

Speaking of the Flood, it's weird how they are totally absent from the trailer. I wonder if Bungie has changed them in some way and is keeping them classified for now. I mean, you see a lot of the human/Elite and Covenant factions, but none of the Flood.

Yea the reason you dont see the flood is becasue most of the trailer was from the first level of the game Sierra 117, all the jungle parts and stuff is all in one level and according to gamespot( who got a close up view and got a real live demo of 1/2 of the first level from our beloved frankie) the graphics still are not the finla graphics. Also they said frankie said that the only bad thing about the first level or the part he demoed was that it lacks the epic vehicle battles that the other later levels have. Gamespot also said that the UNFINISHED graphics they saw in the demo were gorgeous and that they cant wait to get their hands on it. So in conclusion Halo3 will kick more ass than John Cena at a -blam!- pride parade, AND other more important gaming organizations know and love halo's graphic and gameplay potential.

The video must of consisted of a few stages of the game (by stages I meant alpha and such). At some scenes we see a 4th slot for thr 4th grenade but at other times you don't. The reason wouldn't be because none of those grenades were collected yet, if you don't possess any grenades it'll just flash "0" on the HUD. Also on YouTube, Joystiq made an analysis video of the e3 trailer and he claimed it's a flash grenade of some sort.

I looked at the trailer and I have to say it's absolutely the best content I've ever seen a preview of for a console game. Breathtakingly AWESOME! I really don't have many words to describe it other than it's the military version of Planet Earth on uncompressed HD CAM SR. Phenominally gorgeous!! I've been playing Halo 2 for a couple of years now, and Halo 3 will be the only game I care about playing for years when it comes out. Cheers and congratulations to the entire Bungie staff, the programmers and the artists.

Okay...about the inside or the master chiefs helmet...first if u think this is an amazing idea, that will make gameplay with the MC more apart of you, give me a hell yeaaa!!! okay...bungie. we need this feature, i know i have said this before, but i was snooping around....the MC inside helmet view needs to be more like metroid prime corruption....i was looking at that, and back at the MC view bungiw came up with, and i said thats what MC inside view needs to look more like, so bungie, hear me out, alot of people would use and love this feature
love
Heath


Halo really doesn’t need to look like metroid prime does it, halo just needs to look like, well halo, and the view looked fine to me. To me The first person view you want simply would not work in halo 3, it would feel to confined and would detracted from the game play to much overall. Believe me Bungie would have considered every option when they were working out what would make the best FPS view possible, and so the view Bungie has works for there game. I'd wait and play the game first before saying what it should or should not be like, so I fail to see why they 'need' to incorporate a metroid prime style hud. Bungie know what there doing and I think the game is shaping up brilliantly.

For anyone still looking on this forum!

I' ve went over the trailer and made some last minute observations
1. At 1: 22 The marine has different armor(the one driving the pelican)
2.At 1:39 The warthog has replace the gun with an extra bunker for 2 more marines
3.At 1: 42 Theres a new type of scarab
4.At 1: 52 A pelican Flies past about half a dozen covenat cruisers. Either they were slow to turn and attack or There were allies in there
5.At 0: 40 Theres a mongoose pair and the one furthest away has a spartan on the back as well as the front, Either co-op or a new saprtan
6.At 0:43 The mc goes straight into battle with the arbiter. I think he's a campaign ai buddy (like lego starwars 2) you know they always follow
7.At 0: 58 theres something holding/riding the bugger
8.The marines look much smarter!
9.At 1:00 theres a slim,elegant and smaller spartan driving the mongoose I think and only think! that she's a girl
10.At 1:08 the human battleships look like the U.N.S.C have made a major breakthrough with battleship tech.

Awesome Bungie. Absolutely awesome.


About the "Arms Race" film though:

I thought this short film was cheese. It looked like it was intentionally filmed using your average DV camera (which can sometimes be done right, but in this case it didn't help at all in making the short more serious). All of the Halo 3 media, like the ads and announcement trailers, etc, have been of such high calibre in terms of visual quality, and it makes this short pale in comparison. With respect to Weta workshop, the armour looked home-made cardboard -blam!-. I also couldn't help but cringe at that cliche ending shot. Overall the short felt like a bad TV sci-fi show - I couldn't tell, were we supposed to laugh or take this seriously? The overused concept of having the computer processing was eye-rolling, and the the font was as low quality as you can get (was it like Arial or something?) I'm assuming this was intended to be a realistic impression of an assembly line thing, so the viewer can get pumped up and get an insight into what its like to manufacture ODSTs, but for me it just didn't work. If it was meant to be serious, cinematically it should have been something more like the StarCraft 2 trailer.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but really it's just my review of the to-be-director of the Halo 'movie'. If you can't nail the flavour in 2minutes, it questions your ability to nail a feature length film. Basically I'm saying if this is any indication of what the movie might be, I'm really not liking the direction its headed.

(*Honestly I'm just concerned about this director for the Halo movie. I WANT it to be outstanding! Unlike the other game-based movies we've seen in the past.)


Your soooo wrong! (in my opinion)
Would you really be happy if it was like one of these new shiny sci-fi movies Hollwood is pouring out? Think back to the alien movies, they were gritty and hard-core. If Neill blomkamp makes a halo movie and its in the same style as this short film then it's gonna be a classic! You have probably never watched Space; above and beyond have you!? :p
