E3 has produced a few
Halo 3 rumors that have been brewing deep inside the internets for the past few days. One of the rumors comes straight out of the
Halo 3 E3 trailer when it was quickly noticed that a few of the trailer's video clips include what looks to be a new grenade type. The grenade type, as seen above, was mentioned in Joystiq's
Halo 3 trailer
analysis where they referenced the icon's look to The Art of Halo book, and it looks very similar to what is called the Supa Double Cap Bomb. Though, the art book's description of the Cap Bomb is nothing more than a flash grenade that shoots out sparky sparks, but here's to hoping said flash grenade has a
Gears of War "stun" effect.
The second rumor comes from
1UP and their
Halo 3 campaign impressions writeup. In their article, they mention that while watching the demo they saw a menu option called "Forge" and when they asked Bungie about it, they received no comment. Well, any good Marathon fanboy would know that Bungie used a program also called
Forge to create levels in their Marathon series. So, does this
Halo 3 Forge menu option confirm some type of multiplayer map customization? Possibly. What we do know is that some of these rumors could be cleared up in the September issue of EGM which will include brand new
Halo 3 details. We can't wait.

Before this explodes into a raging flame thread, I would just like to say that the immature posts posted before me do not represent the attitudes of all PS3 supporters. There are still mostly "mature" PS3 fans, it's just the few retarded PS3 fanboys that give us all a bad name.

What exactly makes Killzone 2 so "cool"? It does look good, but it doesn't look any better than Gears of War or Call of Duty 4, except, it has even less color than those two titles; it's practically black and white. You can't really compare it to Halo 3 because:
1. Art style is completely different
2. Nobody here has seen actual Halo 3 gameplay
If you read IGN impressions of Halo 3 (they did get to watch some gameplay) they do confirm that visually the game is breathtaking to say the least.
Now, what I want to know is whether there is co-op campaign in Halo 3. There are indications that a second player might be able to take control of the Arbiter, but I'd like to be able to be in control of another Spartan. Beggars can't be choosers though I guess; even if you have to play as an Arbiter, some type of co-op is better than no co-op...

wow I'm really surprised there are PS3 fanboys still. Sony's E3 was weak. They announced 3 decent games. Depending on Killzone 2 plays, I might get it. Impressive, but still doesn't compare to Gears of War (except there are more than 8 people on screen at a time).
I was more impressed with what I saw in Call of Duty 4.
The PS3 still didn't announce anything that made me go wow.
@1, @2, please please PLEASE! Never buy a 360. I would never want to play with you guys anyhow.

I think it's probably best to ignore the PS3 trolls. Let them have their one good game.

@ 1,2.
Hmm are you guys saying that Killzone 2 is the greatest trailer in e3?? Thats priceless because I still hear people talking about the Halo 3 trailer. When I ask people of what they thought about the Killzone 2 trailer, they replied with this, "What the hell is Killzone?"
I don't think Killzone is going to help out the sales for the ps3, maybe MGS4, but only for a limited time, if you know what I mean.

That's sweet. I've heard this before...Killzone, the Halo Killer, right? Move along. What is Killzone? A graphics powerhouse with no draw. Call me when they get 4 million pre-orders.

And, Microsoft had the balls to only talk about what they're doing this year. But hey, I guess I'd be bitter too if Killzone and Final Fantasy were all I had to brag about.

Personally, I believe that both consoles have their pros and cons. Neither is better than the other. Sure, better in different areas, but when it comes down to it, aren't we all just GAMERS? Since when did we have to be purely Xbox or Playstation gamers? What's the crime in liking games on BOTH platforms?

#18 has a good point.
Halo 3 is a franchise that has earned a name for itself and has an enormous fan base. Even non-gamers know what Halo is. And this will definitely help push our beloved 360's sales. Now Killzone? From all accounts, the first game was below average, and the second installment is attempting to redeem the Killzone name - hardly a system seller or a killer-app some people claim it to be. Now MGS4 has earned its name almost just as much as Halo, and the franchise has a huge following. If anything can help Sony's PS3 sales, it would be MGS4.
