Dont give me that, It will be out in 3 months. Its going to suck. Halo 2 with different maps and people. Nuff said.

your right they are going to release it before they put out their multiplayer beta, good idea, and well thought out. /sarcasm

Lol, i love how you guys all bash this game cause you dident like H2. Honestly, i loved H2 along with Halo. Plus, hosenstly this is barely in the beta stages, i mean, just recently did they announce signups for testing the betas of the multiplayer. And if this really is gonna come out by xmas next year (which i hope it comes out sooner), Bungie has so much time to blow us away and create gfx ten times better than that of GoW, which most likely will happen because H3 is Miicrosofts holy grail.

You guys complaining about graphics need to realize that this game is still in production, and won't be out until late next year.

I think"ll definately buy this game. But does it seem like the Halo 1 dev team had alot more passion and direction than those dev teams for H2 and H3? It seems like something definately changed and that passion was lost.

It's amazing that noone mentioned the new mechanics of the brutes totally pulverizing marines. Ripping arms off, stomping them, etc. I think that's a neat addition that would make the game more immersive. Everyone was hung up over how it "looked". All of you jackass graphics whores are what's ruining games. More and more resources are being put into how "pretty" the developers can make a game look, as opposed to how fun the game actually is. Its the same thing that happens to hollywood movies. Overbloated crap that looks pretty, but who wants to sit through it more than once? Yes, graphics can be important, and can give you a wow factor, but its not the MOST important part of the equation. People that truely know games know that pretty graphics do NOT make or break a game. Only imbeciles who are impressed by shiny things put that first and foremost in their opinion of a game.

You my friend are absolutely right. In all honesty, graphics from this gen are not much better than our current gen. I think if game development continues on this route, it's eventually going to hit a point of diminishing returns. Ultimately you will be limited by hardware, and the cost of these consoles is barely within consumer reach as it is. I think game development should be more focused on an involving story or new innovation, and not how pretty a game is. Honestly, can you guys deny how great the Splinter Cell series, Halo series, Ninja Gaiden etc. looked? These games were all beautiful, but more importantly, involved the player. That's why I think this whole PS3 vs. 360 shit is all bullcrap, because honestly, neither one has blown me away. Hell if you want an example of story being more important than graphics, look how great the Morrowind and Indigo Prophecy games were. Has anyone here played Indigo Prophecy? It's a great game, but doesn't look the best. Now take a look a Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions, it looked stunning, and absolutely bombed.

people don't seem to get it...GOW and halo 3 are NOT the same type of game. they're different universes completely. i agree completely that GOW was a beautiful game (actually i think rainbow 6 vegas was pretty damn nice too), but the architecture and types of buildigns were a big part of that. halo doesn't feature the same sort of human architecture, which is why its less detailed, and (go figure) doesn't look teh same! not to mention that the fact alone that GOW is 3rd person, and your constantly taking cover makes it easier to see and appreciate the graphics of the environment. in halo 2, i know i defintely was not worried abou how detailed the room i was in was, or which pretty block i can duck behind, i was too busy looking for ammo and better weapons. thats the type of games they are, halo is a run and gun game, where as GOW is not.

Halo is not entirely run and gun. Sure on easy or normal you jump around on the enemies heads if you want to. But have you ever played on legendary. You're constantly trying to find cover and use the terrain to your advantage, especially in enclosed spaces. You can't show your face to a group of elites for more than 5 seconds before you drop to the ground in a heap. Also, you better watch your head around those snipers, they rarely miss and if they do, it's only once, the next shot will be at your face. You have to creep around and fake them out or your not even going to get through the first level.

H3 is still distant in the future and they will be releasing a multi-player beta. That means quite a bit of time to polish the game and alot of extensive testing will be performed to better balance weapons, spawns, and maps. I just hope superbouncing isn't still a problem because I am a H2 superbouncer on crack and its a problem
But in all seriousness, MS is still hurting from the money they lost on every 360 sold. GoW prolly raked in a bit to compensate, but, MS is relying heavily on H3 to do good. So it WILL kick-ass and everyone who thinks differently can juggle my nut sack.

Brutes as the main enemy The SP is going to be worse than H2.
