New Halo 3 scans showcase its campaign

With each passing week, seemingly more and more Halo 3 campaign screens and info begin to surface, stirring hype before its grand release this September. This time, French gaming magazine Joypad has revealed several new screens that take place in one of Halo 3’s jungle locales. It’s now evident: Bungie sure as hell wasn’t lying when they said the Halo 3 single player would look great.

Halo 3 Campaign Scan

Though slightly blurry, these scans have helped illustrate what Bungie hopes to accomplish graphically with Halo 3. After completion of the game’s online beta, many argued that Halo 3’s multiplayer graphics didn’t satisfy, but the developer promised that the single player mode would look visually stunning. In these new images, lush foliage, heavily detailed textures, and advanced lighting are in abundance. Bungie has already revealed one other campaign screen from this level- will the jungle be the graphical showcase for Halo 3?

As the release of Halo 3 draws nearer, the graphical quality of the single player campaign continues to surpass expectations: one can only wonder what the final build will look like. Thanks to IdleCoder for providing these Halo 3 scans!

This is why Xbox = Wii > PS3

Surely:

Xbox360 + Wii > PS3

No?

This is correct!

Ain’t hard to work out.

He is saying that the Xbox is equal to the wii being greater than the PS3.

I am saying that a Xbox360 and a Wii together is greater than a PS3.

Comment by AugustusBot on 2007-07-30 15:26:57 | Reply

Well, the Wii is only good for one thing: drinking games. Solo games for it are crap compared to PS3 and 360.

The 360 has more games only because it was out for a year before the PS3…

And Halo is just… Halo. Just wait til Metal Gear comes out…

The PS3 is a damn fine machine. Blu-ray > HD-DVD.

What the FUCK does Blu-Ray being > HD-DVD have to do with the Xbox 360 being > than the PS3.

Goddamn fandouches.

Are you fucking stupid retard? Metal Gear doesn’t got SHIT on Halo, fucking Sony dicklicker. Hey Hey how about you take that MGS shove it up your ass cuz Halo is GOING to be all over the TV, news, and internet. And what?? MGS?? who the FUCK cares your just pissed cuz your loyal Sony buttfuckers lost their CEO and lost a SHIT load of exclusives for that sorry piece of shit excuse of a system you guys call “PS3″ and dont be surprised if MGS comes to 360……just commit suicide please.

Hey EvolutionOX man I agree one hundred percent but your choice of words only give these Sony Fanboys ammo towards us as real gamers. Halo 3 has already sold (on pre-oder even) more copies then Killzone ever will hope to. Just know come September 25 when these Sony fools are sitting watching there movies on WhoCaresRay we will be finishing the fight!!! Consoles are meant to play games and boy does the 360 have the games.

dont pick on metal gear it will come to 360
and when it does it will be great
cus ps3 will have no good exclusives
and well have them all,
i still love metal gear
but i love halo as well

To be fair, I think you should check out MGS3’s sales to date. It’s barely sold more than Halo 2 sold on it’s first day. The game isn’t as big as people think it is. People know the brand, but the majority don’t buy it.

and all over the place people were complaining about the graphic quality… no one would listen to bungie when they said that the beta was an old build. haha, this’ll show them…

LOL people got a kick a$$ multiplayer demo, ok ya it wasnt groundbreaking graphically but hell it was a beta, and on top of that it was running at hidef with from what i saw little if any issues…

now we see shots of campaign leaking out and OH MY GOD…”lush foliage, heavily detailed textures, and advanced lighting are in abundance” ALL I CAN SAY IS HELL YA!

I’m sorry but those screen shots don’t look much of an improvement over beta, the jungle looks as detailed as the one in metal gear solid 3 on the ps2. Not very next gen.

yeah, and you’re also very retarded…sorry.

but my roomates brother lived with us 2 summers ago and he played halo on my xbox. damnit. ok call bullshit, make me laugh. but true story.

you two done making love now? cool, enjoy.”

I also have some achievements from EA Sports games i’ve never played because a roomate used my system. I guess I’m a hardcore sports fanatic too.

Maybe you should go ahead and google my name too, maybe post it on your wall, on a bumper sticker, you seem to be obsessed. have a good day.

I was very hyped over this until I play the beta. Yes, I know it was the beta, and it might change.

Im just gonna wait for it to come out and judge properly then

Remember, these are low-quality SCANS. They aren’t real screens, only a slight representation of the actual build quality. My suggestion- import the magazine and actually look at how great these real images look.

I,m going to hold off on this one (after seeing the demo),let the hype die down. To many great titles coming out this fall.

Simply amazing visually. Yes, I am comparing H3 to H2 when I say that but you know what? I was never in it for the graphics anyway.

Storyline pplz! It’s all about the storyline!

i’m no halo fanatic, in fact my buddies had to talk me into buying halo 1, but i honestly think the game looks great.

i said the SP (and MP) will look better in the final code and many doubted me.

there is much you guys dont know about the game, i’m sure you will be pleased =p

Okay, Halo Man, John, and EvolutionOX need to calm the fuck down, and stop being little fanboys. Yes that goes fo you too john. Look man, i got a PS3 and i love it to death, dont get me wrong, but i think these screens look great too. Really, calm down you guys. Halo 3 is gonna be sick, and graphically its looking great.

I’ve read alot of MGS4/PS3 fanboyism in this thread…but I’ve read JUST AS MUCH HALO FANBOYISM. You guys are going insane over 3 screens! Your fucking eyeballs will explode then when you play the game -_-. Nothing against Halo 3, but calmb the fuck down. Stupid remarks like “omg ur teh idiotz Halo 3 ftw” do not really argue any point. Its a scan of a magazine. I am not going to sit here and FAP like some of you have most likely done already to 3 screens. If the screens looked better (quality of scan) then feel free to discuss it like normal people, not zombie fanboys. Those of you bitching at us for not surrendering our souls over to these screenshots need to grow the hell up. Halo 3 will be a great game, but god damit, stop glorifying it as if it is the greatest game that will ever be developed. Take off the fanboy glasses for 2 seconds and judge what you see for what it is worth.

you are an idiot yourself. Everyone is entitled to there opinion and if they think that halo is the greatest game ever made then let them. There is nothing wrong with that. To them it is an so what they are saying is the truth. There is no definite answer to what’s the worlds greatest game. And if popularity was the judge, then I guess halo is the world’s greatest game.

Ok…so I am an idiot, according to you, because why again? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is true, but you are actually going to sit there and defend opinions that basically put everyone else down because they are not drooling over some pics? Never did i say that Halo sucks. My gripe is with the manner of the discussion. If you want to sit there and defend things like “omg halo > all,” then You are the real idiot here. You sound like a woman with all this sensitivity towards others opinions bullshit. You should always be able to defend your opinion. Shame on me I suppose for not having tunnel vision for one game. In the end…this is just my OPINION right? ^_^

maybe if you people would understand that halo doesnt need great graphics (eventhough they look awesome to me) because all of the other elements of the game are better than 99% of any other game out there right now. its games like killzone, or gears of war, etc that need jaw dropping visualscuz they be shit if they didnt.

All MGS is is a fucking story, very little to actually play.

Walk three paces, get a cut scene for 20 minutes. Hide behind a bush for twenty minutes, kill one guy, walk past the point the guy was guarding, get another 10 minute cut scene.

What a crock of fucking shit, the game actually feels like it gets in the road of the story, they would be better releasing a fucking HD Movie as this is all that MGS wants to be anyway.

Fist one was good, slowly got shitter and less like a game since.

I don’t get why people get so excited about halo. The alien worlds looked like something out of a kids platform game, and the aliens - especially the smallest one’s looked like the baddies in power rangers. And don’t get me started on the weapons, the only decent gun to fire was the basic machine gun.

I’ve never understood the Sony v. XBOX bashing. Who cares? Buy what you like- don’t try to justify your console spend to those who won’t ever appreciate it. It’s called subjectivity.

You bought PS3? Great. Good for you. I bought the POS 360 and love Halo. I want to hump the living daylights out of it. But still, Metal Gear is a great game. Halo is a phenomenal game.
