"...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."



Badass.

Ho my damn. My brother is addicted to Halo 2 and is real nasty at it. Me and him both I'm sure will waste countless hours on this one.

[Myuki]

yea, i saw that yesterday. amazing.

[ScottyB]

freakin sweeeet. oh, and for any big time halo fans out there, the 3 book series isn't half bad. also, i'm a big dork.

Yeah, when I beat Halo 2 and it said "to be continued" or something to that effect it was pretty obvious Halo 3 was coming.

[Goodspeed]

Well yeah, it was obvious it was going to eventually come out, but not one person knew Bungie was developing Halo 3 as of recent. I guess word about this kind of thing usually spreads (I think Halo 2 was actually leaked before it was officialy released, if I remember correctly)

I just got one. Going to rent another game tonight ^_^

We should have a MM Halo 2 tournament. We could tape it and put clips up online too

[Mike]

I'm very certain it was well known that Halo 3 wasn't far off.

[ScottyB]

i had a feeling halo 3 was in the pipe but i thought alot of effort was going into the halo movie too.

lol, Halo2 matches are funny. unless you are like a pro and are an ass about it. Which is one of the reasons I stopped competing.

Yes there was a french full version that was leaked. I hear that some people *whistles* had the thing downloaded and beaten weeks before the official release of the game.

[Sijray21]

i thought Microsoft was trying to coordinate the release date for Halo 3 with the release date of PS3? More MS ownage.

scotty and my roomate actually had the game 1 week prior to release b/c the JMU bookstore f-ed up and sold it to him. He drove down to c-ville to play the game on our friend's xbox b/c none of us had one at JMU.

back from the dead :wink:

i've turned into a huge nerd recently with the halo games becoming what they are, and really gotten into the halo "universe." if you love the game you might want to check out the novels, they explain some really neat history about the Spartan soldiers -- who they are and what happened to them. you also get a better idea of the vastness of the war and what humanity is up against. i just recently finished the fourth book, Ghosts of Onyx and it's pretty good....if you're stuck inside on a winter day i'd say its a nice way to kill some hours.

oh, and another badass trailer that came out not long ago:

In other Halo news, Rex bought Indigo Prophecy and Halo 2 on an EB Games giftcard.

Yes, I am behind the times. This is what happens when you only buy used games and only when they're on sale. :-p (Halo 2 was 19.99, minus my discount card made it, like, 16 bucks!)

[ScottyB]

if it makes you feel any better Rex, i haven't even played halo 2 yet. ever. you have to feel better about that.

when it comes to game consoles i will be forever mooching off of friends who have them....i miss college.
