We've had a huge week here at Bungie.net. In fact, it's been the most action packed 5 days we've ever experienced! As a special thanks to all of you who helped make our launch week so great, we've got one more Halo 2 screenshot to cap it all off. This is now officially my favorite screenshot yet. Suhweet!

Chief vs. Jackals!

Wow...that looks really pretty. The Jackal in the background looks amazing; his skin looks increadibly real...you can even see muscle definition! I thought the jackal in the foreground looked a little undertextured though...maybe i'm just tired from staring at a computer for too long. I cant wait to play this damn game.

WOW! Thanks for the incredible pic! This has been one awesome week! Thanks to all the Web guys for the terrific work.

The site is just wonderful...Thanks again.

Last, thanks to Frankie for making me laugh every Friday. I really appreciate it after the normal crappy week at work! You guys (and gals) are great!

Actually Sketch, I think we'd all like to thank you, Frankie and all the other behind the scene web guys for making this a great first week. Wouldn't have been as good without all your hard work.

By the way, does this mean there won't be a new screenshot every couple of days now?

Remember, E3 is in less then a month. I'm sure we will be getting some content then. And there are new screens in the next issue of Game informer...

When Frankie mentioned in a previous update that the shields now looks more translucent he wasn't joking. They look ace. He was also spot on about the plumes. Also there was all the information about Chiefs head moving to where you were looking and how he walked more convicingly (notice how he's standing?) These big blast doors are becomming farmiliar. It looks very much like the door in the Elite screenshot that the Elites are guarding with those new guns. My favourite feature though has to be the the way that the Jackal is cowering as Chief is about to put a shiny bullet through his head.

Ooohhhhhh.... E3....
My favourite time of year with all the new videos and screenshots from all the greatest upcoming games. No doubt Bungie will steal the show again with shots like this.

That screen definately made me go "whoa." The bumpmapping looks beautiful, and the way the chief is positioned is absolutely awesome. Thanks yet once again Bungie, this week has been a fantastic kickoff for the new site. = )

That is freaking awesome. Well glad I know I can add plasma rifles for the Jackals in my fan fiction. Plasma rifles and jackals...a fun, yet deadly mix.

i like how not only does the jackle have a plasma rifle, but how you can see the emmense textures... just look at the closest jackle, you can see feather like hairs along its arm
