That looks alot like halo.
[[original one]]
But its cool.
Nice find. :D
It does, with much higher res textures. I actually almost worry that the architectural design that we saw in the original just isn't well suited for the 360 because it doesn't really garner the incredible detail they could be taking advantage of. Instead it seems they're going with scale, which is not necessarily a bad thing - but its just an interesting choice. I mean compare these screens with gears, the differences are night and day - you've got overdone detail on one and incredible sparsity on the other. I don't know what to think of it quite yet, but considering there's purportedly a public beta out early 2007 I think we'll find out then.
Those look very Halo 2ish. Possibly enhanced screens not released when they decided to either 1. scrap the map or 2. scrapped the ATV. If you look at the press released Halo 2 screen shots all are especially high rendered. Methinks fake.

I don't know those screens don't look that awesome to me. That doesn't look like a true next gen game. That halo 3 trailer is much more impressive than those.

It's a pre-alpha build that's why they only looked like a tweaked Halo 2.
Look at the last Master Chief pic, you can see a Marathon logo near the grip. Everyone was like "zomg the Assault Rifle (MA5C) has a power button, wtf!?" my guess is that it's for the ammo counter, that would make the most sense.
the textures and lighting in those arent final if i remember correctly.

Right. I just read through the 17 page blowout in the latest EGM and they said that the game hadn't gotten it's final "coat" yet when they played the multiplayer. They did say that the single player looked better. Some of those screens are ones from EGM, so it would be the same build.

all those screens are from the new EGM.
right now, the idea of it is sounding really good, but graphically not next-gen, but they still have a lil less than a year to work with it, so i'm sure they will step it up a notch.

When Bungie talked about the comparison between Halo and Gears of War, they made it clear that their graphical approach was going to be different than the technical direction that Gears took.

I hope the graphics on Halo 3 will be a whole lot better than these screens: I agree with some of you they do look a little Halo 2ish but on the bright side look at the major jump from Halo 1 to Halo 2....I mean they have to have an idea of how to jump not only the graphics but the gameplay as well...***susspicoisss** :D......Plus ive heard alot of good things coming from Various sources about Halo 3. Like realtime reflectons on the Character Models..Thats a plus......I honestly think Halo 3 will be simply put amazing graphics wise. It not look like GOW but comeon WHO HONESTLY wants to see pretty much """"a reflection of graphics""""" in Halo 3...I would be pissed if it looked exactly like GOW..Im not knocking GOW and i can't wait to play it. But i just don't like to see the same look twice..(((i.e- Black* Looked like a good game...its fun....but looked like someone mixed Black Hawk Down on the Xbox and Killzone from PS2))
