Totally fake.

Unless Bungie fire all their UI designers.

Totally fake. The friends list is denoted with the "Y" button, just like Halo 2. This wouldn't make sense on the 360 when you've got the guide for that.

One thing they want to sort out before Halo 3 ships is matchmaking. Specifically the Party system. At present I haven't seen an implementation of this in the 360 UI and given that all that is handled by the guide, I guessing it will have to be in a future update.

I'm sure I've read stuff about multi-party matchmaking but this NEEDS to be in Halo 3. Multiplayer lobbies could do with a bit of an overhaul overall in my opinion. The only one that doesn't drive me nuts is Battlefield at the min, GRAW, PD0 and CoD2 can all be a bit frustrating to get a game going at times.

actually there's a game that lets you hit a button to pop up your friends list. i can't remember which. it's a lot easier than hitting the guide button and going down to the friends list button and hitting A.

also i dont understand why the guide would have anything to do with a matchmaking system like halo 2s.

You're right there is but it doesn't make sense on that screen and moreover looks exactly like Halo 2. Bungie have now confirmed it's fake.

The guide is part of the xbox 360 O/S. Xbox Live connections and Matchmaking are now handled by the 360, not the running title. Doing things this way means they can implement the trueskill system, achievements, gamerscore etc.

Now there are API's they can use to tap into it and I'm sure Bungie will use the LSP program as they essentially were the guinea pigs for it but as far as I know, the 360 matchmaking system does not support group matchmaking, at present, but it wants to for Halo 3.

I find staying in the same game with my friends yet always playing new opponents a bit of a chore in the games that are out now. Halo 2 Matchmaking was perfect for this.

yea the halo 2 matchmaking system needs to be copied by just about every game with online multiplayer. just seems crazy microsoft wouldn't build it into the system.

Um i thought xbox live was what Halo was all about.

A next gen game should self configure 2 360's, you would select multiplayer and it would give you the option to play on XBL or via Link isn't that how the others worked ?

To be honest i can't say i spent enough time with Halo 1 and 2 to know..

I do:

1. You actually play against real people that you know and can mock.
2. You can play serious or for fun with out the risk of lag, someone not having a headset, people leaving LIVE to eat dinner, people entering and leaving matches when they like, etc etc
3. When you play game after game on LIVE there is soon no excitement, it just feels like another game with bots.
4. Getting 10+ mates round to play halo feels like a day of paintball.
5. No risk of joining a game with a party full of Germans.

System Link will never be removed from Halo.

Here.
But it's mentioned in the news that Bungie said it's a fake. We 'll know the truth when we'll see the game. It's like the *leaked or not* script of the game posted a few months ago.

sucks that screen is fake. the classic mode option had me excited. i still hope some how, some way, i'll be able to play halo 1 multiplayer on live. the halo 1 multiplayer is much better than the second.

I think its safe to assume the halo 3 interface will look better than that and even if it doesn't it doesn't matter ;)

Id' say this is definitely the Assault rifle from Halo 1.
If not, why not?

People are saying that the barrel sticking out is a bit longer, but I don't see much difference.

It was a great design for a future assault rifle, but the perfomance of it was not very well done in Halo1. A lot more accuracy will make all the difference in Halo3.

I agree that pic is hella fake--but both system link *and* split screen are sorta crucial to Halo..it would sort of ruin the party game nature of it otherwise; if i wanted to play an online only mp game, I'd probably play it on a PC..when you've got a big screen and a bunch of controllers, sometimes you want to rumble with some local friends.

I also agree that is the AR--I hope the battle rifle makes an appearance as well, personally I prefer it to the AR by bunches.
