Hey if you zoom in in the back of the blue spartan you can see the words out of ammo and what weapon is the red spartan carring (the one in front of the blue spartan).

Shotgun in the Red Spartans hands and an SMG on his hip.

holy -blam!-, you're right!
If you look REALLY hard, though
you can actually make out what appears to be a blue spartan firing a BR on the left of the screen.
It's hard to pick out though.

I'm glad we can see the second wepon. I've always wonderd where your wepons go when you switch (in halo and other games).

I noticed on the snowbound picture that in the sky on the wright side there is a planet or a moon. If you look closely, you can see the Marathon simble on it! Bungie strikes again...

no offense bungie but dont change it too much from halo 2, 2 grenades per type, I know there are more types but we are all so used to 4, if it aint broke dont fix it, also im guessing your trying not to put rockets on map so much with the the new laser, but this will be anoying because you wont be able to use this weapon at close range and may cause problems because if u are getting a super weapon u get it early shoot everyone with it and run off. picture this: u ride to rockets in a ghost, you get there pick them up, then an enemy ghost aproaches so u target and fire, then get in your ghost go back to base, posible with the laser? 3 seconds to charge up so no hope a ghost is way too fast ud miss, the ghost would kill you and take the weapon, shouldnt it be first come first served? just think Banshees will be imposible targets too. Maybe change it to 2 second charge up, the only other thing is the shotgun shouldnt be visible from the front of your character (maybe it isnt) you need it hidden so u can pull it out on your unsuspesting victim, the sword will be off when u hold it and dont use it so thats fine.Hope we still get symbols on are shoulders and stuff it is early days.
Other than that the game looks amazing.
Im sure you will do a good job after all Halo 1 and 2 are amazing aslong as this apple doesnt fall too far from the tree this should be better because its HALO 3.

U guys notice the changes on the shotgun? Pretty awesome

Betray me for a weapon and I WILL invariably and unquestionably boot you.

So I'm just wondering whats up with mines? It mentioned land mines in there and it would be rad, especially if their locations were randomly generated each game in specific areas. but why can't the fabled prox mines of goldeneye make a reappearence in this or any other game? it sounds like spiked mines have the same idea although they are timed, what if you could just set the time and have proximity as an option? has bungie ever thought about weapons like these? would having mines around the map blowing up lag it or something I don't see why such a raved about item has never truly successfully been brought back in any game since its first and last good appearance...

oh, and it seems to me the most unique weapons of 2 very good shooters, "half life 2" and "gears of war" have been brought back with revamped spin offs of the gravity gund and the hammer of dawn. this could be a very good idea.

-=GOD IS THE GREATEST=-

Bungie, I must say I am so sorely disappointed by the overall look of the game. I had to look twice to make sure that it wasn't Halo 2 on the original Xbox. Is this seriously harnessing the true power of the Xbox 360? And as a HUGE fan of the Halo series I really am concerned that other, less-deserving games might take the crown of the best FPS on consoles; for e.g Killzone 2. Please, this can't be it. I realise it's subject to changes as you mentioned, but the changes really need to be immensely great in order for Halo 3 to look the part- especially compared to the initial Halo 3 trailer. And for the single-player screenshot you released, are the real time reflections still intact on the Master Chief's visor? From the screenshot it doesn't seem so. I know this is very negative feedback, and as a result I'm going to be flammed to death on these forums, but my concerns are genuine and I really expected much much more.

this is my second comment and im just wanting to say this game will rule like its past halos, gears of war, half life 2 and all the other xbox exclusive game this will rock for sure no doubt. ill look forward to booby trapping some poor sucker with the spike grenade!!
and everyones ..or some are complaining about the graphics hell i did, but i had a better look and and read some other positive things on this forum along with the negative...but hell the positive brought out great points this game will rock and people will buy it no matter what..unless they dont like first person shooters.
we gotta finish the fight..and start kickin all ya asses on live!!
i look forward to the atv :D

to septic360 (i dunno how to do what you said thingy so anyway)

i wouldnt worry about it yet, i have the same concerns, but im sure what we will have will be one hell of a game, and killzone like the last wont win, even the ps2 nuts admitted the first killzone was no were as good, i played it and got bored. anyway,
me like my bro have the concern about its graphics but i mean if it gets nearer to the launch like a month or so and its still the same then we can start worrying..or until its out
but the distance you can see does look amasing havent seen so much view in a game before..but they said that the trailer is what this engine can do so when they finsiehd the game should look like that otherwise...it wont look like next gen stuff.
do you remember the first halo 2 pics they looked pretty bad didnt they? but when more pics were released and so on and the game looked so muchbetter than these pics.
so we should trust bungie and let them get on with it we know there secrecy and this is an alpha build and im sure they wouldnt want to show the true cababilities of the game just yet..lets hope anyway ^^

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Posted by: SilentWolf666
Did anyone notice that the spartans had weapons slung a cross their backs? I bet that's their secondary weapon so when u switch, it doesn't just disappear.


sigh !,well how very observent of you silentwolf666, i'm glad you are here to point out this gleringly ovious new feture that's also been mentioned sevrel times in kp's commentry ( that's sarcasim by the way)

  • 11.24.2006 5:30 AM PDT

It looks awesome. Looks pro when they have their other weapons holstered on the back or to the leg. Very nice graphics, but to be honest I think it looks like Halo 2 just with a bit better graphics. Just like Halo 2 was like Halo 1 with better graphics... At first I thought I was in the wrong gallery.

Hope to see a lot of new original stuff when it comes out, not just better graphics and new maps.

I loved Halo 2, but many of my friends didn't since they thought it was too much like Halo 1 except the graphics and they said Halo 1 was more exciting. When I think about it I agree in some points.

But like you said, there will probably be some changes before it gets released and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love it anyway like I loved the other games.

It was different in more ways then not...

Though Halo 2 was part two of the series so how different did you expect it to be?

jesus....no offense to anyone inparticular...but i think some of the people writing in this thing might be a little stupid....so many people posting these concerns and im not getting on them about that but people listen to what bungie and others have so often said....ITS PRE FRIKKEN ALPHA its not gonna be the most beautiful thing ever....personally i think it looks amazing....ESPECIALLY for being pre alpha....and even if it doesnt kick the crap out of every other game graphic wise when it comes out....WHO CARES....its the gameplay that im sure everyone loves about halo...(the graphics always being awesome aside) but im positive that all these little worries are for naught....bungie has already made 2 of the best games ever released gameplay and graphicwise....so what makes all you people think they are going to let us down with halo 3? especially seeing as its the final game of this trilogy arc...


P.S.
AMAZING shots guys simply amazing im so stoked for this game....i love and hate the way you guys always keep us guessing and just put out enough to really work us up and hold us over just until the next time an update is released...i cannot wait for this game and as soon as i get the money am pre-ordering legendary....simply awesome update this time guys...keep em coming!
