Nah i obviously "wasn't". Plenty of people got caught blabbing on about their "review" copy and got their posts deleted. Far as i remember a ton of threads got shut down because people had obviously pirated the game.

Then you'll know plenty of proof was requested then it just caused arguements and threads being cloes - maybe people have learnt and as long as people dont start boasting and posting spoilers they aren't actually do anything wrong?

Put it this way, in the pc forum if i can't post a pic of the box with a name beside it or whatever we can't say anything about it till release day. Just find it dumb that the rules for the console forum are totally different for whatever reason.

I see what your saying, but because its common knowledge a few retaillers released the game early - the mods have overlooked it?

Looks that way even though id go out on a limb and say most posting about it on here have obviously dloaded it, looking at your gamer score its strangely devoid of halo 3 yet you have all these acheivements for it...

Halo3 looks 10 times better than halo2! nuf said!

Ive not been online for a few days

But your "going out on a limb" is likely to be correct

If MS arent going to prosecute players who have the game why would the mods be bothered

Probably because warez\piracy talk is in the rules? If they delete peoples sigs because its 1 pixel to large i dunno why people hinting about having a dloaded a game is excluded.

No use discussing it at all here. The thread will get locked and then Krono will steam in with his own Official Halo thread. No one wants that

LOL dont worry. He was quoting from "IT Crowd" where the guy was coming up with randomly guessed spoilers to a film... either that or they really have taken a massive leap with the story, I should have guessed the whole ghost thing.

Phew, had that happen before with games, it doesnt ruin the experience but it certainly taints it

nice comparision, makes the fools who posting it ain't no better looking than Halo2 look like idiots. i loved every minute of the game.

They have purposely used parts of the game that look nice in that comparison video. Sure, it does look better than Halo 2, but I stick by what I said, it doesn't look a generation better most of the time.

There are some lovely lighting effects, but overall it is dissapointing graphically, a lot of it looks very ropey indeed.

the legendary box set is quite impressive.

Only good thing about the controller is the little model you get.

I like the look of the faceplates too

Cant wait to play it though.

If that's genuinely what you believe, you're going to be disappointed

Not that graphics are all the game is about, however.

Looking at the high def footage from various sources, i think its fair to say running halo 3 at 1080p is going to be a great improvement compared to halo 2. However i wouldnt go far as to say x10 better.

Samione · 24 Sep 2007 at 00:30

The ending for this game is err... well... cack.

1mm3 · 24 Sep 2007 at 00:31

Have you played it? I think not?

Nevertheless, halo 3 is all about multiplayer for me personally, never played SP fully in both 1 or 2
