First off this is the CryEngine 3 that is currently being developed, which is look very good especially for consoles.

Anyways I was just thinking that (if possible) Bungie could use this engine in Halo: Reach or any other game they may develop in the near future (because Halo: Reach is probably too far into development to switch engines completely).

Do you think Bungie should use this engine or stick with Halo 3 engine but 'IMPROVE' it or make a new one completely?

  • 07.01.2009 3:21 PM PDT

Bungie will not use another developers engine. I wish they would use CryEngine 3 (it's beautiful) but they will develope a new engine on their own.

  • 07.01.2009 3:22 PM PDT

It Doesn't Matter!!!

First off.. then engine is beast
but i think that it would take away from the "Halo " look

Yeah that engine is BEAST and in my oppinion the best one to date and Bungie using another developers engine isnt out of the question, lots of Devs. do it to.

  • 07.01.2009 3:26 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

yes its an excellent engine but it would:

take away from the "Halo " look
and bungie can make a better engine if they take their time so... why steal someone else's?

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

I think the "Halo" look needs some small changes, for one: its too clean, make a little more realistic looking (what i mean is that thats the way it wold look in the future) dont go saying this isn't a realistic game. I doubt that in the future, things will look like halo 3 looks, I want the game to look somewhat real, and im sure that if the majority of halo players want it, bungie should do it
note: i didn't say the majority of players do, i said if they do.

But they use it beacuse it is an expansion don't the title says it halo 3 odst it has halo 3 so it uses the same engine as halo 3 it will be different if the game was only name halo odst but whatever halo reach will feature a new engine not cry engine 3 well no one knows except bungie but surely they will made a new engine by thereselves beacuse they never use the same engine for another game except odst that is an expansion

Well I guess you are correct, although ODST will have to be bought from a store unlike most expainsions which are available for download via Xbox LIVE

But that's the point: it isn't the Halo feel. The Halo feel is multi-colorful unlike the grey and brown of most modern day games.

I know that.

  • 07.01.2009 3:52 PM PDT

I remember they stated they were crating a new engine in an interview. Too lazy to find it.

Also, crysis' graphics would be amazing in halo. The only problem is making grunts, jackals and the like to look realistic.

  • 07.01.2009 3:53 PM PDT

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

im not saying grey and brown, i still love the colorfulness of the game, but its rated M, it should at least have some realistic gore,

and no, GoW is not realistic gore, its completely over the top gore, which is how the meant it,

and yes bungie meant for halo to have that clean look,

but as a game company they cant just go off their wants,

they need to go off the wants of the community if they want to make a game ppl will buy.

How bout dead space gore? :D

  • 07.01.2009 3:59 PM PDT

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I would enjoy the visuals that brings.

  • 07.01.2009 4:00 PM PDT

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

i dont think dead space gore would work either, its too dark and halo wouldn't do well with that. like i said, realistic gore, IMO the halo 2 look was the best, it was still colorful, but it had a little bit of a dark look

Dead Space probably has the most realistic gore ive seen, unless you can name better? (not meant in an dick kinda way)

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

All things considered, I wouldn't mind a different look to this game over the other Halo FPS games. I think a new coat of paint would be refreshing considering that they decided to stick with the FPS format.

It can be Halo without being Halo3/2/1. They just need to stay true to the character design and not give in to people asking them to copy other games. You should see some of the posts that want this to be the next COD or the next Gears. I like both titles, but I play Halo cause it's Halo, not cause it's another FPS.

  • 07.01.2009 4:12 PM PDT

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

how about this, lets let bungie create a new typer of halo gore, cause the there is no gore at all right now, and im suggesting that there at least be more blood and maybe body parts coming off

  • 07.01.2009 4:14 PM PDT

My thoughts on using the Cryengine 3 for Reach:

A graphics engine better than the one used for Crysis? I'm sorry, but I don't want to buy four more 360s just to get enough processing power to play Reach. Make something that won't require all of the power generated from Niagara Falls to play, please Bungie?
