For all you graphics whores, Frankie has an important message [in response to some complaints at NeoGaf]

My 3am reality check for Xsamu:

The Chaos he he describes is a result of our vid director saying, "set up an encounter in the ice cavern on Snowbound with loads of guys all firing placeholder trails from their AR's"

Graphics (with the exception of Snowbound's soft surfaces) are missing lots of the things that make them look cool.

All of the water you saw, for example, is placeholder. No decorators are in those maps. The frame rates are all over the place. Some of that footage has correct lighting, some of it doesn't. All of that footage is olde. Although Snowbound looks about the most recent, it's missing new shaders and wind effects, as well as more subtle touches in the architecture.

The textures on High ground are very old, as is the general appearance of Valhalla.

Bubble Shield and Tripmine are just two of the X-Button Equipment deployments. They are not grenades.

Here is another depolyable thing that he uses to bounce up to the guy near the turret

I like this shot. Two reds are going through the man-cannon. Unfortunetly for them, there are 4 blues on the other side waiting for them. Just in case they get past the 2 snipers there is shotguns/assault rifles waiting.


This looks like a sweet level too, but we won't be getting it in the beta. Only High Ground, Snowbound, and Valhalla.

118 HD Captures from the VidDoc by yours truly.

Some notable captures:

Trip Mine


Impressive distortion


Loving the new look to an old friend

This map sucks. Uhm... I hate this spot. I hate you.


Portable Gravity Lifts


Portable Warthog Turrets

You can block anything with a Shield, but remember, Spartans and vehicles still pass through, just not weapons. Slow blade penetrates the shield!

That's Frankie, by the way.

Awesome Veegie! I knew you were going to come with some HD shots.

Recognize this layout from a certain single player level Halo 1?

[Pyroman]

Great captures Veegie. I actually looked at all of them just incase i missed something from the ViDoc.

[i.am.terror]

It's a remake of Gephyrophobia.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

It's a remake of Gephyrophobia.

That's exactly what I was thinking...

[MasterChief2829]

They remade the bases pretty different


This shot is awesome


Do you guys see Zanzibar in the first TV? It looks exactly like the 2nd floor of the main base in the area where there are two windows and a BR in the center.
