First Halo 3 Screenshots

You might recognize some of these from the recent EGM cover story, but many of them are brand new. Also these are in hi-res digital format so they give a much better impression than the scans that were posted a few weeks back. The screens were first published (or leaked?) by German game site GameCity but Bungie will probably make these public soon. Untill then you can check them out in the story image section below.

Note: According to Bungie the screens are taken from an early alpha build with lots of placeholder graphics and without all graphical effects turned on. But they should still give a good indication of the graphical style of Halo 3.

Can't wait to play multi-player.

same here should be a blast

Looks pretty good. But, it looks SLIGHTLY better than Halo 2.

ImTheNumber127002d ago

I actually agree with you but you have to know that this is alpha. This is just the early build of the game and shouldn't gameplay come before graphics. If they can reach the quality of their initial trailer i'm sure that this game will look incredible. I have heard before that the trailer was also missing some graphical touches that would be implemented in the final game. I'm betting you that killzone doesn't look too hott right now either. Anyways, I can't wait to play that beta.

It almost looks like they worked on the look of the spartans super human abilities(jumping and such looks more believable).

Arkham7002d ago

Leaked just before the PS3 release? Sure, leaked like a FOX! ;)

Looking good! A few more months' work is really going to put some serious oomph into the game.

That said I think it looks great so far, especially pics 1,2 & 4. I hope it feels more like Halo:CE than Halo 2 in terms of gameplay.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_76d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto76d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay76d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware73076d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty76d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey60276d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty76d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb198176d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts76d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno76d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE76d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai76d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex76d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover76d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator76d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia76d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii738d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies738d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
