A gaming site called Hexus Gaming today published a highly controversial news story claiming that Bungie has completed development of Halo 3, and that the game is basically ready to ship.
According to the insider the final artwork has been finished for disk, booklets and box art, and that one of Europe’s largest CD replicators is on standby, awaiting the green light from Bungie. When Hexus Gaming asked why Microsoft and Bungie haven’t given it the green light for launch he said he was certain that the hold is a strategic move on Microsoft’s part. Although Halo 3 is ready the delay is to time the launch for “maximum impact” Now before some of you start bombing our comment section, please remember that until Hexus Gaming or any other news site can provide more evidence, this info should be treated as any other rumor – with little respect and a “bucket of salt.” Add Comment Unregistered - Owned36O 02.01.2006 07:04 If this is true then I will go and Jump off my roof into my pool!!! Here we come HALO 3!!! Unregistered - I think this is bs 02.01.2006 07:24 Why would it be done already? Unregistered - DC 02.01.2006 07:27 It's probably just a rumor and if it's not, bungie better get back to work on it, I don't want the 3rd installment to be some half a$$ed job just so M$ can try to get 'Maximum Impact'. I want this 3rd installment to have killer visuals and a brilliant story. But hey thats just me :) Yo Wassap 02.01.2006 07:34 sounds like a load of bull to me, but by the time it took to make h2 after h1 it probably means it'll be ready for launch at the same time as the ps3...in 2008! I don't mind if they take their time as we know that it will be worth the wait if they do. Either way i'm gonna get a ps3 and a 360 anyway so i don't really care Unregistered - Rusty 02.01.2006 07:35 If it is true, its a perfect plan to battle PS3. Launch a game that people are crazy about, a more of a "reason" to buy the 360. The best time to release halo 3 would be the exact day that PS3 is released. But just hope the halo 3 is worth the hype, which i know it is. Unregistered - Rusty 02.01.2006 07:44 The funny thing is on Jan. 31st they posted an article saying that it wont even release in 2006?? Now today all of a sudden the game is done and ready to ship...hard to believe... JsonHenry 02.01.2006 08:03 Yeah... somehow I doubt this. Unregistered - Tyrell 02.01.2006 08:18 Until you read it on Bungie.net don't believe any other site, even Halo.Bungie.Org follow this principal. By this reckoning one lunch time I could pop into Game and it could be on the shelf! The biggest game in the history of gaming (only not the biggest selling because there are more PS2's out there) sneaked out under the radar I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Unregistered - dam 02.01.2006 08:28 well that is fake and they are looking for attention, I've never heard of Hexus either!!! Unregistered - Fito 02.01.2006 08:46 Hexus is actually a pretty large site that is followed mostly in the UK. However, I did a lot of reading on the site and they definitely seem very gullible with rumors and the such. Unregistered - 02.01.2006 09:03 Yeah, at Hexus, they probably think the XBox 720 will be shipping by next year, complete with holographic display. Unregistered - unregistered 02.01.2006 09:17 Don't any of you read any of the other articles, for instance the when someone from microsoft states things about the game? They already said that the game was basically done and they are testing the hell out of it. They had been working on it since h2. Why do you think they knew that halo2 would work on a 360 when halo2 was released? They would have to set up a disc presser in que to be able to handle the demand due to the high quantity of this game. They won't release this game yet because nobody has the console to even be able to play it on.... think more of a strategic release at a time when a lot of people already own a 360. They will want to break sales records with this game and you can't do that if there aren't any consoles in consumers homes. They deny using it as a weapon against the ps3 but I am not sure about their merits, just like they very carefully worded how they won't sell a 360 with a hd dvd drive, well that is true because you will have to buy it seperately. I think this game gets way to much hype around it, that to me, is just another game that the video game industry plays to hide the fact that they don't have much else going on or that the other games just don't live up to any standards. People need to start asking well what is there besides halo 3? Trickedbullet 02.01.2006 09:19 ARE YOU GUYS RETARDED? Anyone who actually believes that Halo 3 is finished really has issues with reality. Just think for a moment how long and hard it was for bungie to build the first halo and halo 2. For bungie to make Halo 3 any better than the first two they would have to take untill at least 2007. 2007 may still be way to early. If everyone would quit crying, then bungie can spend the time it needs to make halo 3 be soooo good that once you lay eyes on it your brain will explode and your eyes melt. What a wonderful way to die... Unregistered - Darthbobvilla 02.01.2006 09:36 In my point of view i think the best time for halo 3 to come out would be when the console supply finally start to roll out then M$ would get a big boost to sell even more of their machines wich makes sense, a lot of people want to play Halo 3 to continue the story and that would mean having to buy the 360. Another thing is that halo 3 could just come out at the same time roughly as the PS3 launch to help even out the console wars. Still another point HALO 3 could just come out when the supposed to be made movie comes out to make even more profit. I think Halo 3 is close to being finished if not....why? well between halo and halo 2 there was a long span of waiting and that means that bungie had a lot of time to work on the future games so i can say that when halo 2 came out a lot of work on halo 3 probably had been done for halo 3..i guess the dealys come in fact that they had to wait for the 360 dev kit to "make Halo 3" a 360 game some games are already done so i assume Halo 3 is gonna come out sooner than later... When is up to M$ to decide...don't forget that Halo 3 is to x box 360 what windows is to pc's ...it is a money cow that they want to launch at proper time and milk it like crazy... peace Unregistered - halo sucks 02.01.2006 09:39 Halo totally sucked, not everybody enjoyed those games imo they are garbage, get a pc, then play halo. There are many games coming that will blow boring same old same old halo away..gears of war anyone? Unregistered - The games that ends all games, Halo 3 02.01.2006 09:43 Ignore number 15, I think they are not done they just told them to be on standby for the time when they are, around November. Unregistered - holla 02.01.2006 09:44 This games will kill everything for the next 3 years. Unregistered - Wont take as lont 02.01.2006 10:14 Everyone who keeps saying that I will take as long to make Halo 3 as it did to make Halo 2 should go ahead and jump on the short school bus. Think about it. After Halo CE was release, the bungie team consisted of about 20-30 employees. Since Halo 2's release that number has jumped to several hundred employees. With that many people working as a team they could produce incredible things in a years time. Look at the other games out there. Splinter Cell for instance, they had about a year inbetween the releases of thier sequals the games' quality speak for themselves. Halo3Sniper01 02.01.2006 10:36 Not to get on anyones nerve but i heard that their are like 5 scrpts for halo 3 just so that the story doesn't get and and that the dev team doesn't even know what the gfame is about. But as for it being done and ready to ship maybe. Microsoft does own Bungie and the Bungie team may have had the dev kit way befor anyone else just so they could get a jump start on the game. Unregistered - yup 02.01.2006 10:52 Ms and Bungie have been working on this game for along time ever since Dev kits were ready! Ms will almost 100 percent surely release H3 a week before the PS3 launch. PS3 hasn't announced a date for launch yet so MS is ready incase Sony does it sooner than November.. This has been MS plan to release this game before the PS3 since the 360 launch. Bill Gates said it wasn't their plan to release it before the PS3 with a big smile on his face...Get ready b/c its coming! Not before Oblivion though. I hope this article is true! Everyone get Oblivion! LAGIZZTIC 02.01.2006 10:59 I'm waiting on several replies to see if this rumor is true or crap! Unregistered - leon 02.01.2006 11:15 Very exiting if this is true. I rememeber reading somewhere that this is the game that is going to take up 4 disks cause its so huge. I hope MS was just bluffing about not launching it with ps3. I'd be willing to pay even $100 for it if its at least twice as long. Just imagine how ps3 would fare if MS decides to make the 360 $100 at its launch. MS could also bundle halo3 with the 360 at ps3's launch. Comon Microsoft make that happen; in one gamers opinion this move will assure 1st place for the 360. Unregistered - unregistered 02.01.2006 11:31 Whether or not the game is complete has nothing to do with it's release date. It could have been done a while ago, but it doesn't matter, because you can't play it yet. The only thing that matters is when you can actually play them (and have them work properly -patchbox 360) Kaioshen 02.01.2006 12:00 This is funny... Unregistered - Akakage 02.01.2006 12:02 TWO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS....BULL SHHHHH. If halo 3 was that close to complete one that means they really didn't do much to the game for one, 2 there would have been some screens or something by now. This is Bogus...I've never heard of Hexus anyway...much like the inmfamous gameshout(on the ps3 forums), I'm willing to bet they are a rumor site. I'll believe that when Msoft and or Bungie confirm it. Is the game coming soon..possibly..but is it complete and ready to ship? H3LL NO. Unregistered - Dude_ 02.01.2006 12:18 Jeezzzzzzz i gotta say, i really laughed a lot when i saw this news er...sorry, when i saw this lie.I have seen all kinds of rumours but this is too much.it´s really the joke of the year.They really don´t know what to do with their time.Personnaly, that site is such a BUUULLLLLL-SHHHHHHHHH.What i heard from hexus gaming, never went there and i´m not planning to get in that site to waste my time. LAGIZZTIC 02.01.2006 12:21 Extra Extra read all about it Sony still has no product! gdblose 02.01.2006 12:30 I just hope when this game comes out that the online matchmaking is incredible. Unregistered - JD 02.01.2006 12:48 The boxart is complete and you can see it posted online. These never pop up until the game is at least within 6 months of a release date. I'm guessing that they are probably 90% done, but will continue to tweak the game until a release date is set up. Unregistered - BASZS 02.01.2006 12:59 After halo2 bungie began working on halo3.. Thats a fact.. After halo2 bungie told there where gonna work on something really secret.. you can put a game into parts.. the longest thinkwork thats in a game is.. the concept because if you dont nail the concept the game is nothing worth it.. Now the concept is allready done.. thats a publishers en developers fact.. or microsoft didn't bust there mounths about a halo3 release when ps3 would come.. the story could be written in the time of halo2 and that they split it in 2 parts because of the deadline of halo2 ( halo2 was rushed ) Now if one company would have the newest and improved deftools to make there money making killer game.. its bungie.. And dont forget that ATI.. HELPS developers make their graphic game.. so it could look awesome it could not look awesome. but bungie is allready busy with their halo 3 sins 2004. the rumor is possible.. maybe not.. everybody thinks that there isnt enough time to make it possible but the last 2 years went very fast for me.. and bungie stept into the spotlight resently.. Now if the rumor is partly true its wonderfull because they can polish the game endless and launch it on a perfect time.. they could nail the game to be THE NEXT-GEN game... besides they know that the next gen games are expensive and that there are other games to be released and halo3 would just push there own sales away.. so i think they would launch it in the winter.. and that they are manufactering alot of 360's because 50% is gonna buy a 360 with halo3.. if the previeuws are good.. Unregistered - hoosiredaddy 02.01.2006 13:03 this is good news, but i sure hope that bungie took full advantage of the hardware, i mean ever single inch of it so it looks amazing so it will shut the ps3 fanboys up about the 360 not being next gen Unregistered - Hip hip haray 02.01.2006 13:03 They being working on Halo 3 from the start! If you look at the first Halo 2 Video you can see the graphics are incredible and lighting effects were outrageous, but when Halo 2 was release the graphics weren't the like the vid. What does this mean? It means they had to lower the graphics and cut the game in half, that's why the game leaves you hanging at the end. This game will have the best graphics ever seen on any game! Unregistered - h 02.01.2006 13:07 This game will probably blow everyone away, think about it! Bungie made the most money anyone has made in one day!!! They have the money and power to have the best graphics ever seen. When Halo 3 is shown Ps3 will fall faster than a Taurus with mad cow disease Unregistered - ASSMONKEYbb 02.01.2006 13:14 If you at all have been paying attention to anything that Bungie has been doing and watching wuts been going on, u would have already known that the original Halo 2 is now Halo 3 and they made a new game as Halo 2. Why do you think the plot was so crappy on H2, its because they had to pull it out of their rears. When they made the original Halo 2, the beginning of the story was the same. One of the prophets comes to Earth to destroy the human race. But later on they realised that one fleet of Covenent isnt enough to make a full game on Earth alone. So they had to set up a new story line where for some reason, all of the Covenent would come to earth. Thus, new H2 in place of original H2. Original H2, H3 now, will pick up on earth, where the story had obviously continued from H2, only most of the game will be spent on earth fighting the Covenent, which will see less elites and more brutes. If you dont believe me thats fine, i dont care. Its just a theory anyway. But i have a little bit of proof. If you go to Xbox.com (I think i saw it there), and watch one of the trailers for H2, you will see the battle of New Mombassa go entirely different than it had in the game. Im not saying that Halo 3 is finished, im just saying that they had been working on it before Halo 2, and that it is very close to being, if not already, finished. Unregistered - wotter 02.01.2006 13:28 1. Who believs this is an idiot. 2. Who believes that everyone is going to buy halo 3 when it launches together with ps3 and that ps3 will be collecting dust in the stores is an even bigger idiot. Unregistered - JackMS 02.01.2006 13:31 Where is this boxart then? Unregistered - J Mo - MS insider 02.01.2006 14:10 Where are you from #30? Your babble made no sense at all, just more speculation from an uninformed source. If you want truth, here it is. It's in beta form, and will be testing for the next 2 months. The hold on the dupe house is ALL strategy, and here's why: -# of 360 units sold to date - Halo the Movie (advanced screening in LA, NY, London, Tokyo planned with Halo3 copies to ALL attendees) - PS3 launch MS and Bungie have agreed that whichever comes first, the movie or the PS3, Halo3 will be used as a marketing tool. How do I know this? All I can say is I'm working on the Halo movie, and most of the plot invloves side stories the games didn't cover. Much like the Matrix trilogy did with it's games. If Halo3 wasn't done, we'd have no plot, no movie. Get it? Unregistered - CDOG 02.01.2006 14:29 SOLID BURN ON #30, #37, I couldn't understand a word of that either, anyways somebody get me a kleenex cause I just creamed in my pants. gdblose 02.01.2006 15:07 That was a good one for # 30. So what's your role in the making of the movie, or are you even allowed to say? Yo Wassap 02.01.2006 15:14 1 2 3 4 I DECLARE A CRAP WAR! well that's what the article sugests...

Those are some of the worst looking pics ever and they're definitely homebrew images. I'm pumped for H3 and this rumor could definitely be possible, but I don't think we will be seeing H3 in stores for a while. We'll have to wait til E3 to see some action and screens. Unregistered - Daewoodrow 02.01.2006 16:05 Lets face it. We know NOTHING. The game could be done now, I sereously doubt it, but that doesn't mean this atricle is bull. Just put it out of your minds. It COULD be done and it could be on the shelves tomorrow, or two years from now we could be in a halo coma for the waiting. Just let it go, and wait for news.

I do apologise to inflict this post upon the eyes of decent people. _______________________________________________ 7 reasons why Killzone is superior to Halo. 1.Killzone has a better story. 2.Killzone is far more militaristic. 3.Killzone is more realistic. 4.Killzone has better weapons. 5.Killzone wasnt made for 11 year olds whose mothers wont let them play violent games. 6.Killzone has serious gamers playing it. 7.Killzone doesnt have half as many glitches as Halo.Atleast the Killzone producers spent more than 5 minutes programming. ________________________________________ Unregistered - xeon_121 02.01.2006 16:57 no8 killzone will be coming out for xbox360 Unregistered - Snake 02.01.2006 17:25 Killzone wasn't even close to be a Halo killer.

THE FIRST KILLZONE SOLD LIKE 5 COPIES IT WAS SO AWSOME...NOT!!! HALO SOLD HOW MANY???? WHAT A COPARISON YOU SONY FAGBOY! TRY A DIFFERENT GAME AND YOU'LL HAVE THE SAME RESULTS NO COMPARISON!!! HALO3 IS GOING TO BE THE PS3 KILLER ALONG WITH OBLIVION. Unregistered - Nic 02.01.2006 18:24 For the comments on Killzone, the story was far better then Halo 2, and at least the story had an ending... you can complete it and go, well hey, so thats what happend... Halo 2 you were left hanging.. As for the thought of MS releasing Halo 3 at the PS3 launch... You're trying to compare a game to a console, graphics to hardware.. this doesn't make sence.. anyway MGS4 on the PS3 will be far greater then Halo 3 Unregistered - ...... 02.01.2006 18:29 Killzone sucks Even call of duty 1 was better Red 02.01.2006 20:14 Killzone was so good, but only if you didn't play it.

It promised soooo much, got some much attention and people waited for what could of been a match up to Halo, but it ended up being a complete waste of space. Something went wrong. Visuals were very muggy, not a lot of colour in the pallet, basic normal control system and offered nothing new to the genre. Thing is, at the time Killzone came out, it was being compared to Halo, NOT HALO 2, and Halo 1 had a fantasic single player campaign, plus excellent System Link Multiplayer. Killzone couldn't compete. Now will Killzone 2 for the PS3 compete against Halo 3!? Maybe, but will it be better!? Somehow I don't think so. If the studio who made Killzone learned anything from there mistakes and make a cracker of a game, just imagine what Bugnie have learned from there mistakes with Halo 2!? I'm sure Halo 3 will be nothing short of outstanding, and even if Killzone has better visuals, it won't compete in gameplay, and that's what matters. Unregistered - halo3, ps3 crippler 02.01.2006 22:56 OMG,wowzers, i cant believe that that guy said halo sucked and killzone was better. I am not sure, but have you ever played halo1 or 2? Just out of curiosity. Man i have played both, and i dont get how killzone, a game that is laggy even when you are playing campaign, how it is better than one of the best video games ever MADE!!!! seriously, what killzone sold approximatly 100 copies on opening day. Now lets see, didnt halo 2 just smash the previous record of copies being sold, and it wasnt held by killzone. Halo is a way more loved game than that game you call "Killzone". And i dont get how you can have the guts to call Bungie a crappy. Get a life, hang out with some real gamers that know what to play, not killzone, mabey you might actually have some fun #49 Unregistered - Unknown 02.01.2006 23:03 These screenshots are fake!!!!!!. The characters in the pictures look like they came from the Halo 2 screenshots, just look at Master Chief holding a odd looking gun that look like it came off a turret. In the second picture look at the dated graphics of Master Chief, the snowhog(or whatever you call it), the elite,the banshee, and the ruins that are all most bured under the snow. Everything in these pictures look out of place, they use photoshop by taking characters and objects from Halo 2's screenshots. I may not be a game Designer or a game expert, but I can tell if the screenshots are real. This website call http://xboxforce.tripod.com is false. If you don't believe then see for yourself. You think Bungie will show us pictures of Halo 3 without putting it on their website Bungie.net? I don't think so. Many Xbox360 games screenshots look way better than this and they don't look at of place. Halo 3 will be ready,when it's ready.

As for Master Chief holding the two submachine guns from the left side, notice that Master Chief was holding the guns in the same exact position on the right in Halo 2's early screenshots. In the first picture of the odd looking gun Master Chief was using to shoot, was a piece of the turret. They just erase the bottom part of the turret to make it look like Master chief was using a new gun, they sure didn't fool me. LOL!!!!!!

I know better then this crap so cut the b@lls@ht. If this is you'r way of telling a joke,you have some serious issues. On topic:Halo3 is not coming this year but in 2007 with the movie release. If Halo3 comes out this year it wil be a crap game......no way they can make a killer game in 2 years with new state of the art technologie. Halo3 can only be a system seller IF they use the system to its max.capacity. They need to use all 3 CPU's to it's max with graphics and physics to it's max. They need to come close to the "Killzone" trailer on PS3 as possible (we all know it's fake)we need to be amazed by the game in every way to make it a killer game......they only need TIME to make this possible. Unregistered - Arc 02.02.2006 07:40 They say "According to the insider the final artwork has been finished for disk, booklets and box art" Keyword ARTWORK, thats just the pretty pictures, that can be done in a couple of weeks once Bungie have Finalized what game story/equipment/characters/controls etc are. IF it was any where near compeleted we would have seen either Screenshots and/or ingame video footage of Halo 3, the fact we have seen none of these (please leave link if anyone has) So we can only assume that at best Bungie have or are nearing completion of a Demo for E3 2006. Until i see screenies and vids i believe the game is a long way off. NB: Gates wants (But Bungie has final say and seamed to me they CANT make it by then) a launch on same day as PS3 so dont expect HALO 3 till at least then. PS. I wish they release a Halo Trilogy Pack, All 3 games in 360 Graphics *Drool* remoteXimpaler 02.02.2006 07:41 ah!! im so happy people like you come to this site if halo 3 is REALLY done, then it will suck beyond belief, i mean it took bungie 3-4 years (i think) to make halo 2 and that wasnt that great except for the multiplayer. so PLEASE Bungie, TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont mind waiting Unregistered - DivinedSin 02.02.2006 08:01 I have a few friends who work for VU-Games (vivendi universal), which is a worldwide publisher of all kinds of games on different mediums and systems... they are game developers and they are currently working on a few games including Halo 3. (well one of them is). He didn't give me any particulars on its progress but they are hoping for november 2006. I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting to release it strategically around ps3 launch. But it its pretty ignorant to think that the ps3 is going to bomb purely around the arrival of halo 3. Basically, halo fans tend to be dedicated xbox fans. And if you are that pumped up about halo 3, then you've already made your decision to get an xbox 360 anyway. I don't understand the competition between "fans" anyway. You guys swear like they're football teams or something. Save up some money and buy whatever looks good. I preordered xbox 360 because I thought it was a sound investment.. and I'm preordering the ps3 because it sounds like a good investment as well. And judging from the information released from nintendo, their revolution sounds promising as well. (especially because their dedicating it to a new kind of gameplay, not graphics and high-def) fuk it.. I'm getting all three and let the Xbox Mastercheifs, Sony Bandicoots, and Nintendo Plumbers battle it all out til the end of time. (it's not like any of the companies give a sh!t about your little wars anyway, who/what are you fighting for?) Unregistered - jimbo 02.02.2006 08:27 im a xbox fan my self i just love my 360, but i dont hate the ps3, there both gonna be around about the same quaility in graphics i dont think there will a noticable diffrence in the 2 systems. plug a 360 controller into the ps3 add xbox live and id have no problems with taking the ps3 at all.

I bought killzone(fool of me) and i don´t see how these fan-boys say that killzone is much better than halo.Saying that halo sucks. I bet that if Halo was in the other consoles they would say the game is great.jeeeezzzzzzzzz. Are they blind or something? I have an X360 because i am enjoying great games and there will be more great games in next few months. And i am buying a PS3 because there will be great games. And Nintendo Revolution is starting to tempt me.hehehehe. How can there be so much ignorance in this fan-boys? Go get a girlfriend or something... Unregistered - samuraipimp 02.02.2006 12:54 I really can't believe how many gaming websites are linking to this ridiculous Hexus story. And what frightens me even more are the people who are buying into it to the point of stating crap like this from poster#12: "They already said that the game was basically done and they are testing the hell out of it. They had been working on it since h2. Why do you think they knew that halo2 would work on a 360 when halo2 was released?" They said this when exactly? Give me a break kids. If Halo 3 was indeed complete and ready for mass production I can guarantee you that we'd damn sure know about it by now. Cast your puny minds back if you will to the months running up to the official unveiling of the 360. There had been so many leaks from Microsoft and their affiliates on the internet that the official launch campaign seemed kind of redundant. Come back down to reality and understand that Bungie have NOT completed Halo 3. Not even close... To the people who said it had been in development since Halo 2... development on what exactly? The 360 specs had not been finalized at that point... There was no hardware available... There were no development kits in existence. If there was then we wouldn't have seen that mad rush to the finish prior to the console launch when Microsoft just barely got the Beta Dev Kits to developers in time. If any work at all had been done on Halo 3 prior to the Dev Kit availability then it would be purely conceptual. I can tell you honestly that I LOVE the Halo games. I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I've clocked up playing them both and I'm excited at the prospect of seeing Master chief kicking a*s on the 360 as much as the next guy. But as far as I'm concerned I'd prefer that it didn't come out for another year at the very least. The longer it is in development the better it will be. In fact I'm really hoping that the 'next project' that Bungie keep refering to is something other than Halo. Let them create something else first and get to know the 360 architecture inside out... then do Halo 3. Makes sense no? Unregistered - Quietman69 02.02.2006 15:11 What crack are you smoking, Killzone bearly got a 8 from most game sites. Halo was almost al 10's.

Well if you ask me bungie meant to include it in halo @ BUT WAS THEN PERSUADED TO MAKE A THIRD INSTALLMENT BY CUTTING THE SECOND ONE INTO TWO THEY COULD HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THREE SINCE HALO TWO WAS BEING MADE AND IT WOULD JUST SO HAPPEN THE MASTER CHIEF IS HEADE BACK TO EARTH WHERE WE COULD POSSIBLY PLAY THE LEVEL WE DREAMED ABOUT FOR TO LONG AND DIDN"T GET TO PLAY Unregistered - Chris Bischel 02.02.2006 21:26 I do remember this exact level of halo in E3. If Im not mistaken its also on the colecters disk of Halo 2 some were. This level was not on Halo 2 so its possible that this is a level for halo 3 or it was just simply made to generate alot of hipe for the launch. Seeing as how it took 3 years to make halo 2 from halo 1 I do however think that the game will not come out until 2007. Gorlag 02.02.2006 21:46 Halo 3 has been well underway. Don't you guys remember the pre H2 demo movies? Did you notice none of that footage was in the H2 game? Remember seeing that huge Covenant cannon and the ship that crashed into it? H3. Also, don't forget that this is about money, money and money. MONEY means releasing H3 the same week as the Halo movie. See you guys on the H2 Live battlefields.

Now before all ya'll get all crazy like and start getting mad, it's a sick game, I like driving around and shooting people up and now that I am used to the xbox 360's controls and the way halo is played i'm looking forward to Halo 3 for the graphical prowess it's gonna definetly represent and because for once I'll be able to show my friends what it's like to get beat like 20 times in a row, haha so heres a semi-but definetly soon to big time halo fan...oh and the games not done...and if it is well than they need to take it back and work more, because if they do it right, this game alone will sell the system, sony has no game that sells systems just cause it comes out...

Unregistered - a tua mae 02.03.2006 12:23 "I was one of the few artists selected to work on it for the demo. My job was primarily asset creation. I was creating assets to populate the path where our camera would be flying during the demo. The company I work for is also working on a launch title that I am quite familiar with. In short, I’ve spent some time around the PS3 and or the teams developing for it. I’ve really had to sit here and think for a long time about what my first comment about the PS3 would be. Will I say, its GREAT or will I give it two thumbs down. Well my immediate impression of the PS3 is…where is it? Seriously, where is it? They have a case, a controller and a dev kit. But the system still doesn’t even exist. So what is there to say? We received one of 5 PS3 dev kits in the United States some time ago. Several companies in the US as well as companies over seas were given the daunting task of creating a demo in less than 9 weeks on a first generation dev kit. Now I’ll be honest with you. What most companies do is fake the entire demo. I mean they come up with some great visuals and neat tricks and scripted events. In the end however, its not a real time demo and its not running ON the actual box. We were the only company to my knowledge that showed something that ran it live on the box. Even then it was a scripted event. You could not pause the camera and fly around the scene. So if you saw the demo once, you saw it again the exact same way the second time. Also this was on a brutally early dev box. You could always tell where the PS3 dev box was because it’s the room that had the f-bomb coming out of it half the day. Lots of time has passed since that demo and the dev box has gone from a totally jimmy rigged computer and box of parts about the size of a small child, to a much more realistic size. Although its still the size of a normal pc. I have been pretty excited about the whole cell processing thing. I am not a very technical person but my understanding of it was pretty clear. (Multiple processors to handle individual events in parallel). Sounds pretty good to me! To hear people talk, you’d thing that a processor revolution was about to happen. So I’ve been pretty excited to say the least. Now in my opinion it doesn’t matter how good the PS3 is. If the XBOX 360 is better, then it doesn’t really matter how the cell processors work or how good they say it is. Realistically one of them will be better over all. Now I’ve spoken with people who are on the technical side of the PS3. I’ve also talked with people on the technical side of the XBOX 360. The consistent comment I am hearing from people on my end is, “The XBOX 360 is better”. They are saying that it is capable of just doing more. (shrugs) Now take that for what its worth. If you watch all the videos on the PS3 they will say how much more powerful it is than the XBOX and vice versa. Im just telling you what I am hearing. They proceeded to go into a lot of technical info that I don’t understand. So I just nod. The game that we are creating for a launch title is a “just get it out” title in my opinion. It doesn’t look next generation. I don’t see how anyone could debate otherwise. It looks good. But it looks good for a game that has come out in the last couple years or so. I mean we are talking about a box that will be with us for the next 5+ years! In 5 years will the games we are making today look good? The only way for that to be possible is if the new games coming out for the PS3 are drastically improved. So good that they can stand the test of time until the next system comes out. We’ve all seen Gears of War for the xbox 360. If that even looks half as good when it comes out then I’ll be floored! The game we are making isn’t even in the same league as Gears of War. In fact there are many current games out that look just as good and are using the exact same specs. So, on our end we are either not pushing the bar or were just trying to “get a title out”. To be fair, this is a business. Sometimes you have to treat it as a business and not make the best title you can. The best title you can make usually costs 20-40million dollars/3 start overs and 4 years of your life. You just cant do that every time out. Its impossible. Our game just keeps getting moved back….and back…..and back…..and back. Again, where is the box? Where is the final system? When is it coming out? No one knows and in the mean time people in the industry are starting to get just a little salty. I mean I was at e3 2005 and PS3 was almost no where to be seen. In closing, I started of VERY excited about the PS3. I was very confident that it was going to just destroy the XBOX 360 just on the name SONY alone. The more time that goes by the more I am becoming doubtful. Everything I’ve developed or seen developed has yet to be “next gen”. The poly counts are not really any higher, im not seeing sub surface scattering, im not seeing much HDR lighting. (or they are faking it and not really doing it), I’m not seeing next gen fluid dynamics or object dynamics. I suspect that you’ll be able to have more dynamic objects in a scene than before. But im not seeing games doing this yet. We dont have a controller, there is no network code and there is no box. Its still the size of a normal PC. Oh well, at least they have normal maps. Although I’m over the normal maps fad ok everyone! I’m confident that the PS3 will have a few “crazy” games that show it off to its potential. But I would expect the full capabilities of the box to not show up until the system has been released PUBLICALLY for over a year. This is the extra time the developers will need with a FINAL system to truly make next gen games. " Unregistered - MUPPET 02.03.2006 12:34 Nice short story ya retard.

Part of the halo 2 experience was the hype before release which actually introduced me to halo halo 2 and the xbox, not to mention xbox live, all of which turned out, in my opinion to be amazing!! E3 will probably be the first mention of the game officially and then the whole hype experience will begin again and a whole new bunch of xboxers will be born as well as a most likely to be graphics and gameplay revolution, being experienced by the current xbox 360 owners.
