WOW! Hell yes. Where are the SONY fanboys screaming about shitty BETA graphics? (they were not bad by the way) Damn I never had a doubt that the game would look amazing. Now can we have some video love too bungie?

"Damn!! That looks like shit compared to anything the PS3 has to offer!!" I'm being sarcastic as a blinded PS3 fanboy might exclaim. This only makes me more excited about HALO 3. Too bad PS3 fanboys had to shell out a few hundred dollars extra for a system that has yet to prove that it's any more capable than the 360 in the hardware department. What a joke the POS 3 is!!

Here's the biggest compliment this image will get: I hate Halo, I thought the graphics in the Beta were junk, and I'm not even remotely interested in Halo 3.. but that shot looks great!

No aliasing, for starters, and much more realistic lighting. Good for them!

P.S. I still hate Halo, though.

Man, you people shouldn't be fooled so easily, this picture is totally bogus, you know this is not in game footage. Remember when Bungie released "gameplay" footage of the Halo 2 opening? Yeah and when we all took it home and played it, it looked like total snot!
Good job bungie, you released a mediocre BETA and have to do whatever you can to make sure your game sells.

Yeah, I dunno but, I actually thought the beta looked great (on mt 480p TV)!

And the campain looks even better

I'm not so sure that bungie said that footage was ingame, but the demo/trailer shown at E3 04 was revealed months before the game released with comparable graphics to the actual release in November.

@Big Ed
Yeah I don't remember them ever saying it was in-game footage.

hunh? wha? halo 2 gameplay didn't look like halo 2 gameplay??...ehhh..STFU GTFO.

with that fanboy taken care of, this is a very sweet shot. much better than beta. is that a smoke trail in the distance?

And now, I finally know, deep within the being of myself, that this WILL be, UNDOUBTEDLY, for DECADES TO COME...THE...BEST...GAME. NO IF's, AND's, OR's, or BUT's. PERIOD.

PEACE POS3. Bungie just took the game about 37 steps higher for the 360 than the POS3 will ever DREAM OF ACHIEVEING. (Pun intended.)

This IS HOW YOU FINISH THE FIGHT.

#11's comment is closest to what have to say.

However.

While this is in game footage, this is NOT gameplay footage. Its a cinamatic.
This game is good for the 360 and what its going to do to the PS3. But thats all this game is to me, a tool. If this game wins game of the year, it will only be because of sales. Noway this game will get better ratings then Mass Effect or GTA4, be realistic.

Mass Effect and GTA IV will be great games and look amazing soo far...

But I don't understand how you could remotely think Halo 3 wouldn't have an opportunity to win game of the year....

Halo doesn't sell because it smells like roses... Halo sells because it's the final product through years of Hardwork, Cutting edge art design, Unparalled gameplay and one of the most genius and clever storylines I've ever experienced.

Games are meant to be entertaining... I guarantee Halo 3 will be... I'm entertained just looking at this screenshot !!

Game of the year is based on these 5 categories:

Graphics - Halo 3 has no problems in this area... If you look at detail they surpassed GOW

Gameplay - I know for a fact revolutionary things will happen in this area

Artistic Design - The scope/size of the levels are Mind-blowing in Halo 3

Music - The best I have EVER heard in a game...

Story - The most cryptic and metaphorically complexing story ever told in a video game

Now with that said... consider GTA IV out (shitty music, half decent story, etc) Mass Effect is the only game I can see competing with Halo 3 in the near future for game of the year.

"Halo is not a tool it's a Standard" and should have nothing but respect as being one of the best if not THE best gaming franchise in history.(It's already the most successful)

The Halo franchise is just a "tool" as mentioned earlier. You only think it will be a great game b/c of how hyped it is. Oooh, new shields, no gravity effects.
@16 I'm not sure what you mean by calling me a "fanboy", the only fanboy I could be would be a 360 one right? Since I am at this website, and I do own a 360 and no other current gen hardware. Oh I'm sorry, I didn't buy a 360 for Halo 3 like most of the other drones did. Hmm, let me think of better games, like Gears of War, Blue Dragon, Rainbow Six Vegas etc. etc.
