Some wank-fodder there.

Some nice pics in there, lots and lots of poster-type designs with the "Finish the Fight" message too. I wonder if they're planning a massive ad campaign with these posters.

Finishing the Fight would've been nice in Halo 2. Let's hope they finish this game. /predictable

[Chaz]

Some new info on IGN UK, well, mostly fairly old news, except detailing of a couple of new maps, and bit more of an in-depth look/description of the Brute Chopper and Jammer. Some lovely screens too.

Beyond the Beta

[Guest]

i like the look of the new zanzibar.

[henofdoom]

I'm not sure I like some of those custom helmets, but looks impressive none-the-less.

At least they're not bright yellow ones, like in Free Radical's Haze.

[pretentious_helvetica]

Horribly cheesy.

Betterer!

I can't wait to get stuck into the campaign mode. The traditional day off will be witnessed by me too.

There's an article that's recently gone up on Bungie.net linking to some new multiplayer screenshots and renders, including some high-res shots of the Last Resort and Epitaph maps. The article implies that there will be many more mjolnir armour permutations to come on top of the ones we've seen already.

First image from the Campaign.....

OMG!

[dan_tm]

OMG, YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

AMAZING!

[Rushy]

OMG, YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

Exactly, bunch of dick teasers

[murray]

That's actually the 2nd image from the campaign, noobs.

Here's the first:

I may be going at 88mph here, but have you seen this?

£70!!!??

FUCK OFF.

I might buy one for my Nephew.

They say the new campaign shot is in-game, but if that master chief is representative of the character models in the game in realtime it would make it the best looking game ever made by quite a stretch.

Do you know what? I think Bungie are lying again.

[murray]

Well, the single player will look better than the multiplayer, so there's a chance.

I don't think it's any more impressive (technically) than the character models from Gears Of War. In fact, it's quite a lot less detailed, I think.

In fact, it could just be the same model from the Beta, but better lit.

[Nagrub]

That rifle looks like shit.

[redman]

I think it looks like his armour is plasticy.

nice though

[Vin]

People do my fucking head in sometimes.

Really? I thought the model was lacking slightly. The scenery in the background looks nice though.

[barkbat]

Jesus christ, are you people serious? You think that model is lacking, quite a lot worse than Gears of War, that the rifle is crap, that it's plastic. I have no idea what the fuck it is you are seeing, but it is not what I am.

The first video of Halo 2 was a supposed real-time in-game run by what would be the single player engine. It was the one where doors open and then masterchief dives toward earth from space. It turned out to be a giant lie. Admitedly this media is far nearer gold time, so the chances of over-egging the pudding are less. But I bought Halo 2. I voted for Blair in 97. I understand the process of promise and regret. And regardless of how disgustingly shite and ugly that screenshot is, I still think it'll turn out to be a gross overestimate of what Halo 3 singleplayer will look like.

[dan_tm]

Well the pre-release video you mention was actually used in game as a cut-scene (albeit slightly altered to fit in with the story), and I don't remember any discernible differences in graphical quality. Putting them side-by-side maybe, but I didn't notice at the time.

I thought Halo 2's environments looked lovely.

I'm not saying there were disgusting. I'm saying that the video was sold as representing how the game would look real-time, in game. The fact that a cutscene used elements of it is nice, but not actually what was promised. It far surpassed the in-game action. It did it did it did. And so did that outrageous E3 "playthrough" that looked about half a generation better than anything Bugie farted out a year later.
