If you read the Weekly update....then you probably recall this:

"Multiplayer test sessions are proceeding apace and I already have stumbled into one of the perils of Halo 3 development - playing a two hour multiplayer game of Halo 3 and then playing Halo 2 at night, only to discover I have forgotten the layout of Burial Mounds and the cool new weapon I just got used to, isn't in Halo 2…"

So this tells us that at least the multiplayer aspect of the game is atleast playable if not almost finished.....that being said....Bungie cold be a lot closer to finishing Halo 3 than we realise....maybe not......post your comments

(If someone has already posted this SORRY....i couldnt find any posts.....just let me know if there are some)

Well, maybe not. You may recall that for Halo 2, Bungie conducted alpha and beta multiplayer tests for months before Halo 2 came out. I'd bet they're still in alpha.

I remember Bungie playing Halo 2 only a little while after Halo CE's release. Bungie said they wanted to make this as Perfect as Possible.... So they are not close to being done. Also Frankie said that there were explosion glitches.

It may be playable, but that doesn't mean that it is close to release. We don't know how finished it is. It may be playable, but in what state is it in?

Before Halo 3 was announced, in a weekly update Frankie stated he played a full campain level.

Playing small portions of Multiplayer doesn't mean they're almost finished. The online play and eevryhting of that sorts takes some of the most time. They could still be working on the Campaigns, different Multi Levels. I'm sure they have a ways to go before making it "Perfect".

So just sit back and wait till 2007 when it's released. It'll be awhile but well worth it.

If he played both multiplayer and a campain level how far do you think Halo 3 is? Is it almost done?

Maybe just a dulled down demo. Do u know how many people would play it. A game like CTF with just one weapon and a faulty map. Could work. Would be hilarious but it could work...

Frankie said they had started working on Halo 3 immediatly after Halo 2. Im guessing they did all the story boards and models back then and once they got the 360 debug kits they started programing.

I'd say a demo is'nt completely out of the question. Obviuosly it would'nt be a campaign level, but I see no reason why a remade map like Sidewinder for example could'nt be put on XBL for download to play. It would give us an idea of the graphics, and maybe some of the new weapons, but beyond that no story, and for that matter graphically no matter how good it migtht look all you'd be seeing is a prettied up Sidewinder so it would'nt be a true gauge of what the final games campaign levels or even other Maps would look like.

Think about it though. What better way to counter the PS3 launch then to release on XBL a Halo 3 map pack demo consisting of a 2-3 fully live enabled Halo 3 maps. Genius!!!

i said this before....i really think that Halo 3 will be ready by December of this year. The reason they said '07 was to make sure they had enough time and didnt need to push the realease date back like with halo 2

VERY TRUE!!! they did say that they had story line and started the game while they did halo 2 and after the release.. im guessing there ganna take there time making it more prefect ... I bet there playing everything for any glitchs or anything errors of sort so its prefect...

I got all the time .... I can wait.. gives me time to purchase Xbox 360 before halo 3 comes out..

thats exactly what im thinking, that they are thinking it may be done this november or december but arent completly sure so they dont want to say 2006 cus no one is going to be mad if it comes out early, but if it comes out later then they said people would freak out

No, he's right.. It's playable. But that was known 1 or 2 updates ago. It's just not final, of course.
