- TheFinestShadow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+46Lame. IGN has higher-res versions of the same screen shots.
http://au.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/imgs_1.html - cplex, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31The graphics have definitely improved since the beta. Damn I need a HDTV.
- Beuben, on 10/11/2007, -5/+31Best spent 20 minutes of my day.
- halosniper7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20cant wait. i miss playing it.
- cplex, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21Am I the only one who thinks the Brute Chopper looks extremely bad ass?

http://gamepro.com/screen_viewer.cfm?globalId=110501&p=67&s=1 - deltaechoromeo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Yeah, definitely not "Exclusive" screens.
- PocoElMono, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Yeah the story is fantastic. As far as the books and Halo 1 go. Does it look like we might be seeing the Spartan IIIs in this campaign? Those player models with the full face visor look like the Spartan IIIs from Ghosts of Onyx...
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I use my computer monitor for my 360. 1280x1024 19" works just fine when you're sitting at a desk nice and close instead of a couch far away. Anyway, just a suggestion from a guy who can't afford a really nice HDTV for Halo.
- itsripitsrip, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8gameplay>graphics
anyways, it looks great so far...
i wonder how much the gameplay has changed since the beta? - ashwin100, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Actually I was gonna say it reminded me of one of the Clones from Star Wars Episode II.
- eastbeast314, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Bungie has even higher res versions on their site.

Linktacular! ;) (I really hope they switch overkill and killtacular before ship) - Scheissen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7That's the oddball gametype. You obviously haven't played any Halo game.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I'd rather not have the story spoiled for me.
- eastbeast314, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I think a lot of people are used to "next-gen" meaning massive bloom and shininess on everything. Halo definitely doesn't have that - but it does have a lot of nice technical things that are subtle instead.
For instance, check out these two pictures. One is Halo 2, and the other is 3. The style is very similar, but the geometry density is completely different in 3.

Or, take a look at these two of the player models:

http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/h2_mp_backwashaction.jpg
I think there's a huge difference. Most people react to style changes more strongly than technical changes, but when you look closely at these, Bungie retained the Halo style while improving the graphics technically. - Kiriel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Ehm... 200 screens? Hard to consider such an amount as 'exclusive'. :)

There is a difference. - SomaSynth, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Exclusive to what, the internet?
- dezmo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5you mean source? I don't see any barrels or milk cartons laying around, so no.
- Hermitwise, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I really like that toolbar for the replay that it shows, taking snapshots and stuff, I'm glad they're adding more functionality for that.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Halo 2 was overhyped and under delivered. Halo 3 is actually living up to what Bungie says about the game. The Beta was also proof of their confidence. If we were able to Beta test Halo 2 before it came out I would have had second thoughts about it. Halo 3 seems MUCH more like Halo 1 and that's a good thing.
- mypetdinosaur, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5haha, that's silly.
let me put it this way... halo > ut in that when played at any competitive level halo can crush you and destroy you and frustrate you in ways unimaginable. its really pretty ridiculous. this probably isn't understandable if you've barely played it and never lanned, but seriously, when you are damn good and you run mlg 4v4s the gameplay makes the game essentially perfect. imo i've never played a mutliplayer fps that just takes constant never-ending teamplay as halo does. it's intense. - woodchuckrules, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I guess we were actually playing a beta after all.
- cplex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3The graphics HAVE improved substantially.
Look at the difference between the BETA and current screenshots:
http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/800/800896/halo-3-20070701092559248.jpg http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/800/800896/halo-3-20070701092557998.jpg - Its3li, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Multiplayer is cool and all but how about some damn Campaign info? Anyone else?
- kinseyincanada, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6lookslike they re-designed the shotgun http://gamepro.com/screen_viewer.cfm?globalId=110501&p=146&s=1&id=112312
- knodi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Wow much sharper then beta. Can't wait to see the SP at E3.
- cplex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You can customize your multiplayer model. Different helmets, armor, greaves etc.
- exodus77, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6y do people insist on continually bashing halo 3 for its supposed lack of graphical oomph? the art style of the game is simple. you can only make a simple art style look so fancy. If u really look at the screens, the effects are much better then halo 2's. Ever gun shot (especially the plasma rifle) is accentuated by fantastic effects. Get over Halo 3 not looking at crazy as GoW (GoW is a great game, but c'mon people this is Halo 3) and understand that the game woudn't look good in GoW type graphics. I personally prefer the art style of Halo over that of GoW's and just because they look different it doesn't mean one of them had worse graphics.
- BobsYourUncle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Or collectors...
- hollismb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You're not going to get any campaign info. On a recent IGN interview, they say nobody gets to see it until the game ships. Maybe screenshots, but that's about it.
- Myonosken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Half Life 2: Grimey beauty
Halo 3: Shiney technology
If you mean quality wise, then you're an idiot. Source and the Halo 3 engine really aren't on a par (but then again you're comparing a brand new next gen engine with that of a 3 year old game). - psbpv3o, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2definitely an improvement...I don't see why everyone is so pissed about the graphics as long as it has a better functional online play, it should be really good. Of course, I have a ps3 so I don't really give a ***** in the first place...
- strictnein, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You'll be dugg down because only an idiot would still hold that position.

Yeah, hardly any difference there at all. - xXShadowstormXx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Buried you for being retarded.
- b33b3s, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"comparing this game to other FPS like GraW, Crysis, or even FarCry it looks like the developers got lazy when it came to "upgrading" the last game"
... as opposed to being lazy when creating the game in the first place? GRAW's lack of a firefight that required much strategy aside from taking cover killed campaign replayability. How about FarCry's complete lack of variation in its massive/repetitive levels. - Nobi-Wan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4IGN is a good gaming site, but not the best for reviews. Sometimes their scores are REALLY lopsided and it's almost like they get paid off for some of the scores they give out. They do usually have some good screens though.
- danielman94, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Uhh it is Halo 3, exilator. What are you expecting, Killzone in HD?
- ummcordell, on 02/03/2009, -0/+2Yeah I have my 360 connected to my monitor through a KVM switch, so I can easily switch back between my PC and 360. It's a cheap way to achieve HD beauty. I picked up the KVM for 30 bucks and already had a computer monitor. I recommend doing the same.
- Gogogo111, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Well not to be rude or anything, but it does say Shotty Snipers, so I'm assuming its the new shotgun.
- keepinithamsta, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure with all the images being at http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/imgs_1.html means this isn't exclusive..
- ashwin100, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2PS. Checking out IGN I just read that the new helmets are part of a new feature - unlockable "Armor Permutations".
- Myonosken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1http://gamepro.com/screen_viewer.cfm?globalId=110501&p=38&s=1&id=119688
Hey Voldo. - jbhannah, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yes, some of the new models do have the Spartan III armor. Don't recognize the other one, though...again, we probably won't hear anything about it until the game and story are out.
- PetroSan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yeah, and IGN has had them for a while. They also have about 300 more than this site lol.
- Ravenlockheart, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1well also the elites are going to have there own set of different armor... and also these are only a few of the customizable armor parts.... and also this is kind of old news..... I mean we've all seen these screens before.
- tektalk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Mah gumz R bleedin...
- strictnein, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You have to remember that these are all mulitplayer shots. They're tweaked for speed. They have said that the single player levels are significantly more detailed.
- revital9, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Halo 3 goodness: http://www.hooqs.com/halo-3-goodness/17021,19542
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Is that the shotgun or is it a placeholder for the flamethrower? I don't remember the shotty looking like that in the Beta.
- woodchuckrules, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Dude your hilarious because, there is noway you couldn't be joking.
