A. I've been in Edinboro, PA since Thursday and have had more important things to worry about over the weekend.

B. Nothing concerning Halo 3 is pre-rendered footage. I know, the PS3 fanboys are jealous, but jut accept it already. All the Halo 3 footage available uses the in-game engine to render the screenshots. Very few 360 games use pre-rendered footage. Bungie really wants to show what the 360 can do graphically, so do you really think they are going to show pre-rendered footage? Nope. Personally, I think the recent screenshots are a step down in quality from the E3 trailer, but that is just IMO.

C. You might want to check on a game called Gears of War if you want to talk about uber graphics (and uber gameply for that matter). Yep, it's that fancy Unreal engine at work and it is beautiful. I think the average score the game is getting is about a 9.6 out of 10 with a perfect score in the graphics department.

Stop lumping me in that sony fanboy category. I own a 360 not a PS3. I love gears of war. I just made a thread praising what could be the best rpg of all time, and its a 360 game. Best graphics I've ever seen. I just hate Halo. Its so fucking overrated. And these new screenshots will not be what gameplay looks like. If it was we'd be looking a HUD right now. Its not pre rendered but its still not gameplay. There is a difference between gameplay and just running something off the engine. The 360 is still based off of this generation hardware, its awesome hardware but it has its limits.

Did I call you a PS3 fanboy? No. It's just that the Sony fans can't get over the fact that most Xbox footage (original and 360) is in-game engine shots. If you think I was singling you out, I apologize for giving the impression.

I do think once Bungie decides to release some screenies with the HUD on screen, you will be pleasantly surprised. Halo can be overrated. The thing is, its gameplay is fun when everyone plays fair. The singleplayer campaigns are always a blast for a FPS game and the multiplayer is fun as long as it isn't exploited and you are playing with people who have similar skill sets.

What always pisses me off about Halo is the fact that the devs implemented things like super jumps. I feel shit like that is the epitome of cheap gameplay because all the players do is exploit it all. Yes, hiding up at the top of the level with a sniper rifle makes you such a god... NOT.

Its overrated now, but hopefully the devs will take advantage of the oppurtunity given to them and actually earn it with Halo 3. Their fans have set the bar high, I hope they can reach it.

this is why i keep a rocket launcher in handy because once you find out where they are all u gotta do is launch it at them and say ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.

[Waucod Meesman]

not if your shooting crappy little Apium over there and I come up behind you with a sword...

[Dragonus]

IMO sniping takes not skill specially in these sci fi games were weapons are like "advanced and sht" if u really wanna be called a god snipe in those WW2 games were ur rifle will move with the wind speed and all dat other crap

[Erougn]

a real sniper rifle moves with every beat of your heart, every breath from your lungs and every twitch of your eye. a game that doesn't make you converge all those factors misses the point of long range killz

[Jaysont]

i have to agree with erougn with the factors of long range it's one of the reasons i dont play many fps because when i play a big level i always pwn people with snipers that dont react to ur body functions



P.S. had a air rifle shooting contest i came second over ten events the final being a 100m sniper contest anyway it wa awsome great fun.

[Kurke_Aumea]

I agree with Drag and Erougn. Sniping in COD2 takes a little more skill than sniping in one of the Halo games. Still, I hate sniping in Halo 2. People no-scoping you from across the map is B.S.
