yeah it was awesome, but i kept thinking though out the whole thing of people saying that gears had better graphics and then i realized halo has good graphics for being halo, where as gears looks good for being gears. you cant mix the two because they are going for different types of art

yeah exactly. tbh the Unreal Engine is so much more refined then the Blam! engine.. and overall the games being produced with Unreal Engine 3 (see GoW and UT3) look amazing..

however thats not to say Halo 3 doesnt look amazing, because it still does. and compared to Gears, well they are two different artistic styles. also this footage is of alpha and beta versions of the game, its not even the final project, so lets wait abit to make graphical comparisons.

Obviously the two are different art styles. That doesn't mean you can't compare them. Crackdown has a very different art style, but I still think the graphics are awesome.

Hopefully with DoF and all the other technical parts of the graphics engine, the beta will look a lot better. At the moment it's too Cartoon-like, the alpha's not much of an improvement to playing H2 on the 360. Obviously it is better, but not next-gen. It seems Bungie are heavily relying on the real time reflections on the visors to claim the graphics are good. But that's just Bungie for you, they seem to think shiny = good graphics.

the new gameplay footage looks great!
the halo3 gameplay however still feels more like a modified halo2 , not only graphic wise.

5:02 - i see again the masterchief lunging when melee wich is honestly crap. in halo2 i many times lunged over the target into the death on lockout,ascension and other maps.
http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=h2in
"how can a person lunge like that" - halo2sucks.com
5:36 - target kinda off object, autoaim again but then 1:25 kinda shows that theres no horrible noob autoaim anymore.

i think this football creates the shield looks just cheap.
its big and fat and just drops in front of masterchief, he doesnt even make a animation.
5:52 - you can even shot while dropping such a mine/shield, its like throwing a grenade and shoot.
i hope those guys do something about that stuff until the final product or the beta

excuse my typing english isnt my primary language

Its just an alpha that you see but OMG the animations... the grenades.. THE X BUTTON...The Shield grenade ( a little different then expected)
The Sounds.. WOOT Marty. The Man Canon :D

WHY ARE THERE STILL PEOPLE WITH DOUBTS ABOUT HALO 3 ?!?!?!?

XD xD xD May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT xD xD XD

P.S For those of you who didn't know about the recording feature... now you know. The nice thing about it is that it takes little memory due to the fact that it records in game elements, not everything as a whole so it takes up very little memory.

Pics Soon

It's not a canon, 'nor is it a grenade. It's a cannon and a generator.

Dumb.
Among other things; the way they're rendering HDR is completely different than any company has ever done it. They're going into unventured terrain by themselves. If you could even see 30 seconds of the presentation in Seattle they gave...

Well I haven't/can't... so you can hardly say I'm dumb. If you have access to information that I do not, it's hardly my fault if my assumptions aren't accurate.

Keep in Mind all that is shown is just alpha.

Also... If you have access/video to this " 30 seconds of the presentation in Seattle they gave" ,do show (or tell) 8)

Now then... although I don't at the moment have pictures, but at 00:28 I think I see a Detached Turret I see being Used.

The shadow makes it seem like they want you to find out what he's using...or maybe it's just a really messed up lighting error.

That was quick.... well Also, I remember Frankie saying that the Tanks we see in the "Starry Night" Video as different from your average tank. I think I see how at 00:46

I think.
