People need to stop bitching, we are lucky to have a beta to play at all. I for one can't wait and hope it supports four player on one system.

I wonder if Vista users get a beta trial with Halo 2 now that Xbox Live will be on Vista and Vista PCs will connect seemlessly with same PC/Xbox 360 games.

Yeah Halo 2 was destroyed by modders and I think GoW is slowly going that way so Halo 3 will probably go the same route and now with Vista PCs on the Live network soon I think it will be even more affluent. I hope not, but I think letting PCs on Live will definitely open up some problems.

My major concern is that Halo 3 does not turn out like Halo 2 did as a huge let down as far as length and ending.

Anyone who said anything negative in this thread would likely not get along with me IRL. This IS the best thing to ever happen to FPSs, and gaming in general. After finally seeing a decent ammount of gameplay... all I have to say is I'm glad I've already bought my copy... and I'm going to do my best to burn up my Elite when H3 is out.(Think 48 straight sesh)

GTA was the best thing to happen to gaming,

as for FPS its each to there own, i prefer GRAW 2 and R6V to GOW and Halo, some go for realism and others go for an arcady style

i prefer headshots and tactics to big guns fights and bouncing all over the screen

I think the NES is the best thing that has ever happened to gaming, and that Half Life is the best thing that has ever happened to fps's.

Having an opinion is just fine, but how can you honestly say you have a feel for what the gameplay is like from the meager amount of footage that we've seen? (so far it looks exactly the same is halo 2 + man cannon?)

Oh yeah man I totally agree with you Halo 2 was just a copycat of Halo 1.... Yeah, right. Are you retarded?
How could Halo 2 be a copy of Halo 1, considering they are all made by the same developers. How the fuck can bungie copy it's self. The Halo series redifined the console FPS genre, being the only one to receive so much attention and popularity. And why? Because people love it for the fast paced action packed story driven game it is. Look mate everybody is entitled to their opinion but at least get your facts right and try to make a valid point next time.

Wow.
I loved halo 1, I despised halo 2 even though I played both games equally a long time.
Halo 1 had that friendly feeling to play a game against friend, a slow paced game...
Halo 2 was just fast paced, and it really did count who had the most experience of where each gun is located at...
From this footage I just saw, it was all fast paced... And halo 2ish... I'm sorry, but Bungie spent on this game for how long...?
I hope the game lightens me up, and I hope this game doesn't follow the path of halo 2.

From whats been posted up on bungie.net, halo3 is more like halo1 than halo2. Some tester at bungie said he could even play halo2 anymore because it was so unbalanced compared to halo3. Also if you've watched the video, it seemed that there was alot of intense "up-in-your-face" fighting that lasted longer than a aplit second like in halo2. And the grenades that hit people in the vidoc also seemed to do less damage than halo2 grenades.

Wow, there's some serious framerate problems in the gameplay footage of that video - hopefully it's just the video and not the game......if it does have framerate issues it better be running in 1080p - if it's like that with 720p......that would just be sad

Are there any higher resolution versions of that video anywhere? I want to see what the game really looks like (from that small glance at the MP, it looked like "HALO 3: halo 2 retextured" graphics wise)

dude, these were alpha screenshots, early enough in the games development for the bungie testers to play the game and see where improvement was needed in GAMEPLAY.

And it seems that the footage was made using the "game save" feature, that might be another reason why the framerate was less than par. But i doubt those issues will be in the final game (at least in gameplay)

pretty much the video was amazing. the graphics were so tight i watched it 3 times on my samsung lcd. however i hate the dang duration. basically i have to play halo 3 for 3wk then go back to halo the for about 3mths thats so gay. i hope somebody can hack the beta so i can play over xlink.

to those that hate halo or halo online they prolly suck or cant afford a decent connection. i have the ultimate setup for me and my freinds, fios internet, 2 lcds & 2 tubes. we rarely have problems NOW with cheaters but it does happen so i just leave. there are maybe 2 cheates games for every 20 WOW thats so terrible

. o the whining eh, its called mute USE IT LEARN IT DO IT.

usually im whining to my freinds cuz they suck and make me lose in hardcore.

so to those that suck get a job, get a life. you know, im gonna post pics of my setup to all those whining assess and i rarely have problems in halo.
