Halo 3: Screenshot & Movies Thread

Since 6983 Days

With the great new Bungie.net and Theater features Halo 3 will have some major legs in terms of longevity and user ingenuity. We want to encourage this and see what you crazy guys come up with!

Rule 1: Please post screenshots (links or otherwise) of Halo 3.

Rule 2: Please post links to videos of Halo 3.

Rule 3: No bickering or derailments. Also, no complaining about "What? Another Halo thread?! My game only has 1 thread! Boohoo!"

Lets keep the discussion focused. Commenting on a screenshot/video is fine. With some of the MP videos there will inevitably be some discussion about how, "I totally owned an entire team" or whatnot; discussions about how the game should be rated, why you think Halo is over/under rated, etc can go in that main Halo 3 thread. KISS: Discussion directly related to the media is OK, general Halo 3 discussion is NOT ok.

In reply to

Bannable Insults: "Get new glasses" "Open your eyes" etc. Insinuating an insult and flaming are no-nos. If you feel like being a "true fan" then go be a true fan on the companies fan forums. Boulets are for off topic/inappropriate/bickering posts. Ignore

The video of this is on my file share. I lept and jacked him out of his banshee in mid-air before looping back round and shooting him dead. Damn annoying that banshee on Valhalla.

Everyone I play with sucks today! :(

This is crazy...the entire front page is almost flooded with "Halo 3". I thought there was an official one?
There is like 4 threads in the front page of the same game.

I think there should be a Halo 3 only section in the forum.

I guess the rules are broken with "no more than one thread for one game in the front page *keep it updated*"

I guess u have problems reading...

"Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. "

Well that doesn't seem so bright. So I can make like 3 threads with different info about one game and then type the same thing and it would be fine.
Or does that only works for higher ranks?

I am not a mod, but I thought it was a mods job to prevent multi threads like these.
Guess I was wrong.

Carry on

Look this isn't hard. We're having one thread to keep all the Gamersyde user-created Halo 3 content together. It'll all get lost in the official threads and we don't want one thread for every...."look at this kill"

Then we have a thread where spoilers can go to avoid them leaking on to other parts of the forum. Other threads are spoiler free.

Then there's what other threads are newsworthy at the time. The main Halo thread is still going because, hey, the game comes out today.

Three different threads for different reasons. It's not a competition. Game X is not worse than Halo because it got less threads on GamerSyde's forums!

I guess you are right Heretic. Not about the complaining, because you know I have said many positive things about Halo.

But right about let it be.
I am sure in couple of weeks all this will be over and then it will hopefully be all Mass Effect in November ;)

Is that second screenshot from a new game called: "Master Mime" or something? :)

was a bit disappointed at the visuals at first, but after watching a saved campain film, wow! the overall visuals are a bit halo 2, but there's so many amazing effects going on, that when they all come together it looks better than anything i've ever seen.

took this photo with my camera (no LIVE at uni)

Since this game is 1080p, I'm wondering what would have been possible from a graphics/technical standpoint, if they hadn't been "forced" by some to make this game 1080p as opposed to 720p?

I think these screenshots look great. The replay theater is a very nifty feature.
I saw a review knocking the water, in Halo3, but in most cases, I think it looks phenomenal.

No, you are wrong. Only photos from the cinema mode are either 720p or 1080p. The game itself doesn't even render at 720p. Maybe it's 600p or something, but it's lower than 720p. The graphics are disappointing. Not because of the art direction. Everything looks fine. But you notice immediatly that the game runs at a low resolution, because of all the horrible jaggies and sometimes it's just hard to notice the details (i find it hard to watch the lips from a speaking characters that stays beside you). The game has no AF and no AA. The lack of AF is really hard, because HALO 3 provides some nice textures. But it seems as a waste, because if you don't stand in front of something the textures looks mostly blured. I even wouldn't care about AA, but the resolution lower than 720p and the lack of AF make it underwhelming from a technical point. It's really a big shame for bungie that a first party with that big reputation isn't able to deliver 720p or AA. Everybody spends lots of money for an HDTV and Microsoft is advertising it's NextGen console for HD gaming, but bungie isn't even able to deliver the minimum for NextGen gaming: HD. I don't even talk about AA or something. I really like the way HALO 3 looks and the MC looks at least as a good as a character from GoW like Marcus. But the game provide nothing stunning or technical superior that would justify the lack of at least 720p or 2xAA. And beside the lack of these points, the game only runs at 30FPS and even that isn't rock stable.
Don't get me wrong, the game is awesome and i am playing it at legendary. The music is awesome, the AI is awesome (at legendary), the lighting is awesome. Everything is harmoniously. But the graphics are a little disappointing from a technical level (i don't talk about the content or art direction).

To bad that when you play the game it looks nothing like the "cinema-shots" :(. The jaggies are horrific. Why couldnt it have looked as good as in the shots above in-game... Why bungie?!?

But the combat is amazingly :)
