I'm pretty sure that this is all they have done on the entire game... I doubt they have anything else done, especially anything worth showcasing at E3. A prerendered trailer will do fine, since it was just announced.

I doubt that. Sincerely doubt that.

Also, why is everyone saying this is prerendered? We're talking about consoles that are extremely powerful nowadays. This is probably in-game.

Doesn't matter, it's Halo.
The entire game (minus cutscenes) could be 5 minutes worth of making master chief fart on a snare drum.
It'll still sell just as good if not better than the first two just because it's Halo.

And i'm a fan of Halo at that, the first Halo atleast, the second I didn't like and I really couldn't give a rat's turd for the 3rd.

Geez, its only the third in the series... What are yourthoughts on other games with 3+ sequels?

Did you see the E3 teaser for Halo2? Just like this.

still sexy even though Banshees don't give off engine backlash like a jet engine, and anyone spot the freaking ASSAULT RIFLE?

The Halo 2 announcement trailer was prerendered using the Halo 2 engine.
The Halo 3 announcement trailer is rendered REAL TIME using the Halo 3 engine, and current game assets.

Those are live, real, graphics.

...but we will note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects should make it intact (and more) to our final game.


And as for content...

Quote:
n fact, it's the stuff it doesn't contain that gives it a strange kind of context. You can see how detailed the Chief is, but that detail applies to our other, unseen, unrevealed characters, vehicles, environment and so on. There's no AI visible in the demo, no multiplayer, and the entire thing has been left deliberately subdued both to give scale to the artifact and because this is our announcement. The real stuff will come later.

Hell with what everyone else says. I think it's sexy, and that it will be good, and I will buy it. Damn not having a 360 yet.

In general I don't like them. not unless there is either a 4 or 5 year gap AND the game acctualy does something different or revolutionary.
Halo 2 is not very old. So far this seems just like another Halo as opposed to something new.
Of course I could easily be proven wrong once more info about the game is released, but so far, graphics is the only reason why this isn't just an addon for Halo2.

Of course, really, it's on the 360 so right there I won't have anything to do with it, and when the PC, vista only release comes out in 2015 I'll care even less.
And I'll probably still be playing Halo 1 on my XP PC.

it wouldn't be the first time that a company has lied about it's trailer, though.

not that i'm saying they are, but believing it just "because they said so" isn't a very good idea these days

To be honest, I could give a flying **** less for Halo 3. But the graphics are somewhat impressive, though I kind of expected as much from the 360.

Honestly I'm to the point where I'll buy it just because I want to know what was supposed to happen in the last level of Halo 2.

Halo 2 was supposed to end with the Master Chief going back to earth and saving the day. This didn't happen because they ran out of time due to promising that damned November 9th release date. They even say so on the documentary on the second disc of the special edition of Halo 2. They ran out of time and couldn't finish the game, so they threw in a half assed boss fight at the end and wrapped it up with a lame cliffhanger.

I just want the rest of Halo 2, and it's a damned shame that I'll have to fork out several hundred dollars to get it.

Say what you want.

Halo makes me hard.

Only played a little Halo 2.

But i cant wait for 3.

The Halo series is one of the only sci fi storylines i respect.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

So wait...you love halo...and you've only played a bit of the second in the series?

Methinks you need to play more to say you love something :p

He's saying he loves Halo, and what little he's played of Halo 2 makes Halo 3 promising to him. Read before you fanboy him. I'm totally cereal.

I didn't call him a fanboy...and what I read, yes I did read what he said, can be taken one of two ways. 1) He loves the franchise, but has only played a bit of Halo 2, or 2) He loves Halo 1, and has only played a bit of Halo 2 but likes it.

Considering his statement that it's one of the "few sci-fi plotlines he respects" I took it the first way.

Nice try, but still no cigar Asp. Either way, I never called him a fanboy.

beens I have no intention of ever buying a 360, PS3 or Wiiiiiiiiii (<<< sorry couldn't help myself) I'm rather lack luster about all the stuff at E3, (K, there is other news but all the headlines are normally for consoles)

Still I played through both halo 1 and 2 with a friend and I loved them both (especially double player on halo 2) and I'm sure he'll be getting a 360 soon and halo3 will be on the list of games he'll own, so I'll play it either way.

I still think MS should get their act together and release halo2 for the PC.

I'm pretty sure they said they are, but it's Vista only.

Halo 3 looks alright. I don't think it will be as ground-breaking as Crysis though... nor will the gameplay be so unique after the first two games. I won't really be as fussed to get it as oblivion. I can't wait to get Oblvion... soon as those exams are over it will be mine.

Point taken. I'm more inclined to believe Bungie though. I can't think of any situations right off where they're outright lied or twisted their information around.
