Subject: So Is There Actually going to Be Rain?

I was just curious because all the trailers show rain, but there has not been rain during any gameplay. I have been wanting weather effects in Halo (the paltry sprinkling on The Storm does not count). I think that heavy rain will make it more challenging and immersive.

why wouldn't there be rain, it's quiet easy to make

this is a dumb thread

get out of here stalker

How is this a dumb thread?
And maybe the look of the rain is 'quiet' easy to make, but if there is, I hope that it will have a weather effect of adding it to your concealment while sneaking around enemies and stuff.

It would also make the game more suspenseful. Imagine it's at night, pouring rain, and you walk around the corner into a Brute squad.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Id like some rain, hope there is some. Ive never played a game where you can see the rain front coming towards you, and I dont think that ODST will be the first. Maybe it'll "start" to rain like in the Elder Scrolls games?

It makes the game look better and adds more suspense when sneaking and when in a fire fight because it just adds that little extra touch when you are in a Battle and are trying to fight but yet still marveling at the great rain graphics lol (like in GoW)

I am reularg.

To rain or not to rain. That is the question.

Yeah, I've always liked the inclusion of weather elements. Didn't hardly see anything in past Halo games. Effects such as rain really DO make a difference.

It will be Purple Rain.

How would you know? You've never created rain using Halo 3's engine, that's for sure.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Probably. It rains in Far Cry 2 but that wasn't shown until you played it either.

It snowed in all 3 halo games and rained in the Arbiter level Uprising in Halo 2 other than the Storm in Halo 3, if you didn't notice. Play Metroid prime, the atmospherics in that game were pretty cool, raindrops actually fell on your gun and when you looked up, rain drops fell on your visor

  • 07.14.2009 5:17 PM PDT

Rain in Halo 3 ODST would only interfere with gameplay. It will be hard to see where you're going with all the water on your visor.

Well. Technically you could use the VISR and still the outlines of everything you needed to. And it wuld affect enemies just as much. Or it should atleast.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.
