is it just me or does it seem like at the end of the trailer all creation just lost because the Ark just activated.....

another thing in Halo 1 the fighting was desperate but calculated....in halo 2 it seemed a little at ease....you weren't running around screaming and looking for ammo.....all the while trying to dodge hostile fire.....halo 3 better have a gritty story along with some gritty gameplay....i want to feel panicked everytime i turn a corner not knowing whats around the next bend

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

there better be huge ass battles too, no more of this hallway fighting that was so prevelent in halo 2, its fun for awhile but leaves no room for strategy

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

i hope the final battle will be the biggest EEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR

on the plain, outside the ark.

lots of small hallways in halo 1 and bigger battle would be good but too big a battles and it would no be very haloish i think. if you want to see massive battle play the game rome total war

Saboteur.

Have any of you guys seen that desert brigade wallpaper released before halo 2? If you have, that would be a perfect scenario and environment to fight on in halo 3. Like 100's of tanks and troops, and with the 360, these possibilities are quite capable.

Also if you want to see massive battles it would look a lot worse from a graphical point of view

hmmm...
maybe the 360 could handle it.

  • 05.28.2006 2:16 PM PDT

no trust me it can't not that sort of scale for the quality trust me i have an ok computer and i can't still get all the men on the battle field for rome total war and the individual unit look much worse than halo 1 due to the scale involved

i simply meant battles the size of halo CE if not bigger if the xbox can handle it so can the 360, and i have a theory about that desert brigade picture, i believe it was originally part of halo 2 but the level where you would be charging across the desert was cut along with two other extra levels by bungie due to lack of time and business issues, im kinda glad it was now, because that battle will look ten times better on the 360

Indeed, battles such as in Two Betrayels, where it was three Wraiths, a few shades, and a lot of infantry versus a large concentration of flood. In Halo 2, the problem is that we didn't have a chance for fullscale battles because Arbiter was sent on stealth missions, and Chief was also doing his own bits and pieces of stealth. In Halo: Combat Evolved, the wars weren't related to Chief; he was watching the Covenant fighting the Flood. Because he was a third party, he wasn't on either side. The only time that happens in Halo 2 is High Charity, in which case there's almost no possibility to safely view the battles as they unfold.
I'm sure that Halo 3 will boast a good number of large-scale battles, seeing as the objective is to defend Earth from a good... 500 vessels, not to mention the unknown Forerunner craft, which may have advanced weaponry. Indeed, we should expect some heated conflicts, probably with dozens of Wraiths and multitudes of smaller crafts.

As for the power of the Xbox 360, you guys underestimate it. Current games haven't even tried to stretch its capacity, and future games (which plan to feature armies of opponants at once, such as in Ninety-Nine Nights) won't even stretch it. The chances are good that Bungie is fully capable of battles consisting of Phantoms, Wraiths, Ghosts, Spectres, Banshees versus Pelicans, Scorpions, Warthogs, and maybe even more vehicles.

Yay for more power.

Sega Mega Drive, Golden Axe and Sonic all day!

and if anyones gna stretch the 360 itll be bungie.

i hope they dont create that "oily" effect that most 360 games seem to have. perfect dark, condemned, kameo etc all seem to be smeared with vaseline, all the surfaces look like the same shiny crap.

the final battle better be HUGE. becuase this is the end of a trilogy that has taken up years of our lives. if the final battle in Halo 3 is similiar to the crappy final boss battle in Halo 2, then im going to kill myself. I agree it should take place on the field near the ark, that would be soooo badass

ive been playing a lot of halo 1 lately and the outside battles on assualt for the control room are awesome i think they could at least do something like that i cant wait and plus they will totally use 100% of the 360 capabilties

Please do not send me an invitation to your group. I will not join because your group is probably pointless so don't waste your time or mine.

I think it would be cool for the final battle to be a small band of surviving human guerillas (civilians included) making a desperate attempt to oust the alien invaders.

Im sorry BBH but comparing your computer to a 360 is a very unfair comparison seeing how a 360 can do so much more graphics wise.
P.S. before anyone gets angry with me this is just my opinion so if yours differs from mine I am sorry dont take it personally.
