Totally new engine. They couldnt use any of the old ones, and doing so would be stupid.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I belive that they would build a new engine for Halo 3.

they used the halo 2 engine with some enhancements on it. I think they said something about it where you can find the announcement trailer. They didn't use the new game engine.

"note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects should make it intact (and more) to our final game."

We won't ruin the content of our short presentation by describing it frame by frame, but we will note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine.
