Very nice looking water, the sound detail in the frag grenades sounds like a good addition as well.

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

Wow, that water looks great! For some reason though, I feel the need to tinkle.

Armor Lock is not a crutch, it is a wheelchair!

The water actually looks like near real and it looks like it is actually flowing with a current behind and not being still.

Thanks for the breadcrumbs Urk!

Water looks great and i'm guessing they're capturing a passenger boarding animation on a awesome new vehicle up there in Spandex tempel. Thats a tempel, not a palace, to me anyways.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Personally, I like the mist from the falls.

So awesome.

I can definitely tell you that it was easily my favorite little tidbit of hype when Frankie discussed the water tech prior to the H3 launch, and this has definitely piqued my interest as well. While the flowing streams/lake shores in H3 were superb overall I though, the waterfalls are where they fell short and started to look a bit unnatural. Needless to say I'm really excited to see how you guys fare with is in Reach. REALLY excited.

Good update.

  • 03.12.2010 5:55 PM PDT

I'm blown away by that water!

That motion capture picture looks like a boarding action on a vehicle.

Cool, but I REALLY want PAX East info. Just a yes or no would be nice.

  • 03.12.2010 6:01 PM PDT

All game developers need to figure out how to make shores look wet. I want glistening rocks, dirt, sand or whatever on the edges of bodies of water. Besides that which I really can't tell from those gifs the rest looks great. Nice Flow Bro!

Kind of a whole lot of nothin' but the same old word play gibberish but the pic at the end was cool.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Love the update, with the water bit added in all it needs to be fully complete is a mister chief. *tear

My two guesses on those mystery numbers are:
-Count how many times your corpse has been desecrated or
-Show your average accuracy (hit %), either with the current gun, or overall that round.

Gibberish? Urk's wordplay borders on poetry.

I'm glad the UNSC decided to make their grenades more noticeable :)

I love the water. The grenade thing sounds pretty cool too.

Nice looking water! but what always annoyed me in Halo 3, and it still seems to be present, was that the water looks separate from the ground, there isn't any wetness where the waves just lap-danced, just dry ground.

  • 03.12.2010 6:26 PM PDT

Wet watery wonders! Great update and I can't wait for more information to be revealed soon.

Agreed. Make the water react realistically when it hits hit by a [grenade|person|bullet|gun|tire] and it will be pure awesome.
