Looks good but I don't see anything special.

This game will kick ass. Pure and simple.

Not that impressive imo... but then again I'm looking at it through IE6 on windows 98s.e.... either way, pics don't do justice and it does look better than halo2, that's enough for me to think it's good :icon14:

Wow, boring unimaginative landscapes. Yup, looks like Halo to me.

Amazing gameplay. Yep, looks like Halo to me.

Are you kidding? Halo is overrated.

Halo's alright. Those screens looks alright.

UT3 engine?

graphics look strictly average, player models the usual heavy-armour cliche, plus the maps look like the standard drag'n'drop routine, also if it's anything like Halo 1 it'll suck massive donkey balls

Quite the opposite? I think the entire Halo fanbase is hoping for it to be JUST like halo 1.

Shallow story, non-unique gameplay, small selection of weapons, and boring character models? SIGN ME UP.

Is it just me, or do those screenshots look like the world is a bit... pale? There's a lack of contrast to everything. :icon6:

It's called art direction. Everything doesn't have to be super over-saturated á la the UT franchise.

I'm not saying it's bad, I just wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me. That, and I just got finished playing Gears.

Theres a look and a feel to the Halo universe. Just like Gears of War is all grey and brown, and Quake 3 is all goth/techno.

Its called presentation. And thats why when you look at shots of Halo, you know its Halo, and not UT3.

I'm sure thats spot on mate. One of the best selling game series of all time, coupled with the msot played game ever on xbox live muxt mean its gonna suck!

The gameplay is Halo. Go back to when Halo one was released and tell me at that time what was better in First Person Shooters

The "small selection of weapons"? What? Having just read the beta interview I wish they would take some OUT. There are over 15 FFS, theres more than Quake 3 OR UT3?

Boring character models... Well we have only seen one so far...?

To be honest, Halo is very much Love it or Hate it. Some people love it, some cant bloody stand the thing. For me, it was very much a "meh" on my radar upon until these new shots. It just looked like Halo 2 all over again. Now though, it looks fantastic.

Oh and lets not forget these shots are of MP. So the detail is turned waaaaaaaaaaaay down to keep it smooth online. Single Player which hasn't been shown yet, will be mind blowing I'm sure.

I was talking about Halo 1 when I made those comments. I thought that was clear considering the text I quoted, sorry for the confusion.

It only sold as well as it did because Microsoft pushed it hard for the console release. I remember talk about its inferiority to PC FPS games when it was released. Taking PC games out of the comparison, there wasn't really a big selection at the time of other FPS games to compare it to.

Lots and lots of games. But they were all on PC whereas Halo was on xbox.

Same story with Goldeneye. It wasn't particularly good, but it was a milestone for consoles even if PCs had been churning out superior titles for years.

Halo 3 shots - FUCK.
