HALO 3 COUNTDOWN begins!!!

september 25th 2007! buy a copy of halo 3!!!

Anything and everything you need to know about halo 3!!!
post what you know! post what you want to know!!!

personally i am a halo maniac i write down everything i know and this is everything i know about halo 3.

>Halo 3 will utilize a proprietary, in-house graphics engine aptly named the "Halo 3 Engine". This engine builds upon the technologies of the Halo 2 Engine (and previously the Halo 1 Engine), and is re-optimized for the architecture of Xbox 360.

>As detailed on the Bungie Studios website, it will employ advanced graphics technologies such as High Dynamic Range, global lighting, real-time reflections and real-time depth of field effect.

>Bungie has also stated that the draw distance (horizon of the game world) will be in excess of 10 miles (16 km). Sophisticated new atmospheric models are used in the game to replace the traditional skybox.

>Water effects are also dramatically improved; it can reflect and refract images simultaneously. As well as being able to simulate effects such as water falls, it will visually flow around objects in its path and splash when players or vehicles, or other objects, travel through it.

>The foliage in the game is physics-enabled, meaning it not only moves in the simulated wind, but actually reacts to the player's (or other creatures) presence and bullet fire, as well as from explosions. Some flora in the game will also be destroyed after receiving enough damage.

>Halo 3 will have a feature called "Saved Films." This allows players to save a copy of the game data of a multiplayer match to their Xbox 360 hard drive so they may watch the match over again.

>AI behavior of both enemies and allies will be greatly enhanced in Halo 3. Marines' driving and gunning skills on the Warthog, Grunt flanking maneuvers in battle, and Brute "pack mentality" have all been mentioned by Bungie as examples of using the power of the Xbox 360 for more than just increased polygon counts. Enemy AI will also have new non-combat behaviors, rather than just sitting around waiting for players to kill them.

sweet! what kind of thing is that? a temporary 3 second sheild of some sorts???

I've never been a big fan of Halo, simply because I've become obsessed with Unreal Tournament 2004. I think I'll stick with it until the new UT comes out, which will blow Halo 3 out of the water.

The bubble shield is carried like a grenade upon throwing it at the ground it activates creating a bubble around the placed grenade. Weapons fire cannot travel past the shield whether thats shooting in or out it doesn't matter it stops all weapons fire, players and vehicles however can travel through.

A few facts:

The wraith now has a gunner who uses a rapid fire plasma turret, chest upwards is exposed to enemy fire.

The chaingun on the back of the warthog can be removed and used as a normal weapon, though it only has 200 rounds and makes the player walk slow.

Files have been found in the beta that relate to different armour classes in multiplayer, though these aren't used in the playable beta and might be used in the finished game or might just be a left over idea left in the code.

There is now a rocket pod weapon, I believe the rockets are smaller but there are 4 in the tube.

The needler has been ummphed up in power to make it an actual weapon

Theres loads more changes but I'll let you find them through google.
